Call Awaited

A long awaited call
A call for life, A call to live
A single call to set the gauge
Path to be tread crude and strange
Yet the path etched every inch by self


Waiting for the tintinnabulation,
The ring that shall tumble down,
To deck my toe and heart
To fill the air with ecstasy
Harness the sweet singing song

Senorita---- Zindagi na milegi dubara





quien eres tu? (Who are you?)
donde has astado? (where have you been?)
he removido cielo y tierra y no te encontre
(i've moved the heaven and the earth but i coudn't find you

Y llegas hoy, (but you arrive today,)
tan de repente, (so suddenly,)
y das sentido a toda mi vida con tu querer
(and you give meaning to my whole life with your love)


na main samjha...na main jaana...jo bhi tum ne mujhse kaha hai Senorita
magar phir bhi...na jaane kyun...mujhe sunke accha laga hai Senorita

no desvies la mirada (don't look away)
quedate cerca de mi (stay close to me)

mujhko baahon mein tum ghero, samjheen na Senorita

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya
Senorita, suno suno, Senorita kehte hain hum kya


jamas podre (i will never)
interpretar (understand)
el sentido de las palabras que me dedicas
(the meaning of the words you dedicate to me)

pero el calor (but the warmth)
de tu mirar (of your gaze)
me hace sentir como la mas bella senorita
(makes me like the most beautiful senorita

nigahon ne nigahon se kahi armaanon ki daastaan hai Senorita
ke chaahat ki, mohabbat ki saari duniya mein ek hi zubaan hai Senorita
mujhse ab nazar na phero, aao paas tum mere
mujhko baahon mein tum ghero, samjheen na Senorita

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya
Senorita, suno suno, Senorita kehte hain hum kya


jo bhi pal beeta hey Senorita
har pal tumne hai dil jeeta bas itni si to baat hai

no desvies la mirada (don't look away)
quedate cerca de mi (stay close to me)

mujhko baahon mein tum ghero, samjheen na Senorita

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya

chaahat ke do pal bhi mil paayein
duniya mein yeh bhi kam hai kya
do pal ko to aao kho jaayein
bhoolein hum hota ghum hai kya

I knew not what love is until you passed by....

Disclaimer: This is a pure fiction....


He:  Hi
Me: Hi
He: How are you?
Me Typing......"Superfine!! Doing great!! How are you!!"....Me Pause.... I reframed...
Me: Good
He: I mean howz new life?
Me: I am fine
He: I hope you are fine.
I sense concern, I sense worry....
Me: Yes, I am fine
He: I really hope. I will pray for you. I truely wish you are fine.
I sense his heart, I sense love, unscathed love, I sense his  responsibility to keep me safe, I sense his helplessness for not being able to do anything, I sense a Deep Pain that I am actually fine without him.....
Me: Thanks! How are you?
He is typing.....................typing.....pause......typing.......pause....typing
He: Good

Tears flow down my eyes. I feel guilt. For no fault of mine, I am guilty. Sweet hearts are not meant to be broken. Life is cruel.....I was not destined to feel like wise. But the heart broke. Now I am guilty because the scar in his heart has remained.

ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ಕಗ್ಗ

ಬದುಕು ಜಟಕಾ ಬಂಡಿ, ವಿಧಿ ಅದರ ಸಾಹೇಬ, ಕುದುರೆ ನೀಂ ಪಯಣಕೆ. 
ಮದುವೆಗೋ ಮಸಣಕೋ, ಪೋಗೆನ್ದಕಡೆ ಪೊಗು.
ಪದ ಕುಸಿಯೆ ನೆಲವಿಹುದು ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ||

Life is a Horse driven cart, Fate its owner
You're the horse for the journey
Tread the path as guided: Towards marriage, or towards graveyard
If the step fails, you will have the earth beneath to support.
