Petals of Life

మదిలో నింపుకున్న ఆశలు జ్ఞాపకాలు కమ్మని వరము ఇచ్చెను ఆ దేవుడు కలలు గా కనమని... పూల పొదరిల్లు మధ్యలో మల్లెల గంధం లో తడచి ఊగేను నా మనసు ఈ తపన లో జారిన చీర చెంగును మరచి... చైత్రపు రాత్రి వీచే వెచ్చని గాలిలో శ్రావణ జల్లుకై వేచి చూస్తున్నా కార్తీక దీపాలను కనులలో నిలిపి మాఘం మంచి రోజుకై ఎదురుచూస్తున్నా... వాలు జడలో బిగించిన కురులు నీ బిగి కౌగిలి గురుతు చేస్తున్నాయి ఎడబాటుని గ్రహబాటు అనుకుని నా తపనల తలపులు భరిస్తున్నాయి... అందని చందమామ అందానికి అందిన జాబిల్లి అద్దినట్లు మెరుగులు అందించుకుని నాదైన నీ జత కోసం నా మనసు తీసే నీకై పరుగులు... చేరిన వెంటనే చెరదీసుకో నన్ను నీలో సగం చేసుకుని ప్రియతమా ఇంత గా వెల్లడించినా నా ప్రేమని దూరాన నువ్వు ఉండటం భావ్యమా??? ~సుచిత్ర

Today I wish to talk about the shloka "Karyeshu Dasi, Karaneshu Mantri, Bhojyeshu Mata, Shayaneshu Rambha, Roopeshu Lakshmi, Kshamayeshu Dharitri, Shath dharma yuktah, kula dharma patni" There have been many interpretations of this shloka. The most accepted one is "a woman who works like a servant, advises like a minister, feeds you like a mother, pleases you in bed like sylph (a beautiful goddess), is the embodiment of goddess lakshmi, forgives you with patience as that of mother Earth, that woman who possesses these six virtues is your true wife who can share the dharma of you and your family". So, is this the interpretation? But this makes no woman eligible to be a wife. Not every woman is sylphlike, not every woman possesses intelligence enough to advise you, not every woman can please you in bed, not every woman can dress up and prance around in anklets, not every woman can forgive your monumental mistakes and definitely not every woman can feed you unle...

I read a story sometime ago, about how two old men in an infirmary give company to each other and one of them uses his imagination to enliven their lives. The story goes like this. " Two old men, who were almost confined to their beds in an infirmary, occupied adjacent stalls. One man had a wall beside his bed, while the other had a huge glass window beside his bed. Both of them struck a friendship and would spend most of their time talking through the curtain that separated them.  The old man beside the wall, George, would almost all the time talk about how much he missed his family and especially his grandchildren. He would sometimes be profoundly sad and would lapse into long moments of silence. But the one beside the window, William, was ever so cheerful. He would talk about his family and grandchildren with cheery reminiscence and would tell George various anecdotes about his family. But mostly he would describe what was going outside of the window beside his bed. Willi...

Should I tell him Or should I not.. That every day when I see him I try not to blink my eyes I notice nothing else but him I don't notice how time flies Should I tell him Or should I not.. That every noon when I see him I sit a little away beside his place I listen to his happy laughs I listen to all what he says Should I tell him Or should I not.. That every dusk as he walks I stalk him from a little far I follow like a shadow behind Hey, everything's fair in love and war Should I tell him Or should I not.. That every night I dream of him I feel his warm smile for me I feel his loving embrace How I wish together can we be Should I tell him Or should I not.. That irrevocably and irresistibly With him I have fallen in love And every passing minute I hope That he loves me too somehow Should I tell him Or should I not..

She wanted to fly without any wings and play on the whispy cloudy swings higher and higher till she reached the starry skies unbound and unencumbered by any of the earthly strings She wanted to paint with invisible colours To draw bejewelled trees and pearly flowers And everything that was in her imaginary world castles made of gummy bears and candied towers She wanted to race across the frothy seas chasing away the porpoises and the wild geese and sink into the deep blue watery depths to munch on spaghetti kelp and sponge cheese She wanted to swim in the sandy dunes Dancing to the snake charmer's exotic tunes and search in the never ending mirages for the magical cave and the genie with boons She wanted to explore the unknown realms and trip over the end - of - the - world seams to discover herself all over again everyday because Hey! She is just a little girl with big dreams

Chaudhvi ka chand ho Ya aftaab ho Jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam Lajawab ho #moonrose, #moonthroughleaves

न चाँद रहा न रही चांदनी, ऐसी काल रात्रि आयी ज़िन्दगी में, बत्ती जलाने से भी न बिखरी रोशनी, आंधी सी हवा छायी ज़िन्दगी में ...

क्या आज सिखाओगे हमे तुम्हारे प्यार का मतलब तुम, वो तो उसी दिन पता चला जब पानी तले हुए डुबो गए तुम

पीतल तो थे ही हम,  सोना बनाया तोतुमने था,  आज तुम्हारी वजह से पीतल भी न रहे हम,  पत्थर बनाया तो तुमने था

मिलके भी जो दूर चले जाए, पास आके भी जो न पहचान पाये, ऐसे रिश्ते से क्या रिश्ता रखना, जिसमे अपना भी पराया हो जाए!
