Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“A back slap

message to the world

Just kidding”

J Jokes

Have you ever done this trick of back slapping a friend with a chit? I have, multiple times! One of the most common chits used is "Kick me". If you are around me, you may end up being kicked quite a lot (Just kidding or may be not!) :P

As far as jokes are concerned I have not grown up. I loved silly jokes and I still do. One of the silliest and my favorite joke is:

"Q: Why did the picture go to jail?
A: Because it was framed"

So which is the latest joke you have heard? Tell me your most favorite one!

A special shout out to a dear friend who always brings a big smile on my face. What better post to showcase her work than a post dedicated to jokes. Do read her...she is hilarious!

I write

Words floating in the air

I catch and I grab

I jumble and mumble

To myself

I move my hands

And sketch in air

I print the words

In my heart somewhere

Till I get the time

To put my ink

On the paper

Till then everything

Is my pen

I write on grains

And I leave my prints

On walls

I scribble through my feet

And leave my notes

Offshore

Till I pour my heart out

On the paper

Till then everything

Is my muse

The toys strewn on the floor

The teary eyed monster at the door

The messy face wrapped around my heart

The neverending end and the never starting start

The handprints on my white

And the nose that cried

The footprints on the bed

And the nursery rhymes in my head

Various loves, countless lives

Living in my head

Till I find a way out for them

Till the stories move to paper from my heart

Till I get a good reason to start

Pouring my words out

On paper

I write

On everything

I live

in everything

I For I

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“Poems in tiffin

Smileys on burnt toast

Bits of I everywhere"

I For I

I am unique, weird, crazy, stupid, funny but I am what I am. I don't apologize and don't give excuses for who I am. It took me a long time to discover myself but now that I know me, I am not willing to let go of it.

If you like me (I know you do!), it will make me happy and if you don't, it is completely okay but don't expect me to change just for you and your rights. My rights can be different from your rights!

What about you? Who are you? Do you know yourself or you are on a path of self discovery? Do you think we ever fully know ourselves?

An Indian Love Song

HE

Come close let me see your face

My love

Don’t hide the glow,

Don’t cover the fire

My love

Let me breath in your scent

Let me sleep in your manes

I am lost

In you

In your silken contour

In your brazen inferno

Give me life

Let me drink your core

Let me find my soul

In the magical nectar of your kiss

 SHE

How do I let you breath in me?

How do I burn you in my fire?

How do I lose myself in you?

How do I show my face to you

My face is veiled to follow the laws of my land

Our love will set a blaze, not only

The veil

But my land

Your land

The feud of old faiths and beliefs

The blood of numerous griefs

Will be on our hands

HE

What is my land?

What is your land?

Our heart hears both

The sound of temple bells

And

The cry of the muezzin

Our love will conquer all

The rage, the tears

The blood, the fears

We will write a new dharma

We will preach a new karma

Devoid of fear

swarming with love

Shared with NaPoWriMo. The prompt was to rewrite a famous poem, giving it your own spin. I have used "An Indian Love Song" by Sarojini Naidu. Do read it. I am not sure if I was able to spin it differently or if I did any justice to her work. Her words are magical, any attempt to rewrite her poems is futile but it gives me an opportunity to read her again and again.

I did something similar few months back, as in I tried working on one of her other poems "A Cradle Song" . 

Do read my attempt on it. Its called "Little Lovely Dreams". This poem is very close to my heart for various reasons. One of the most important being, I sing it as a lullaby to my kids even now.

H For Heart

Snippet Of A Day In My Life

“stories at mid night

tiny voices plead

Heart wins”

H Heart

I am quite strict about schedules and planning. Even as a mother I have a time table and I try and follow it as much as I could. But heart doesn't understands time tables and schedules and neither do my kids. They are quite young right now and there are a few time when my heart loses to my head (Okay not few but many time)......(Okay okay not many almost every other day)...............(No really just every other day, not daily) :P

And when heart wins we let go of schedules and we do what our heart wants, be it stories at midnight, drives in early mornings, dance when you are supposed to study etc etc.

Do let me know how you liked the heart of my day. Do you have any similar incident in your day? What was the most heart warming incident that your remember from your last few days?
