Green, green trees
Blue, blue seas....
Source of pleasure
Source of peace :-)

Decade

A decade
Has passed
Since he's
Gone.

Memories
Still linger
Of times
Foregone.

Serenity

You'll see the
Serenity on my
Face, when you
Put me to rest.

That you'll know
Will be the best.

Eternal peace at last.

Free from life's test.


Dearth

There's a dearth of
Genuine people on
This earth.

Facades are
Everywhere,
So are the masks
And pretensions,
Creating false
Impressions....


Visual

Away from all the
Chaos and noise,
I see the faraway
Blue sea, and feel
So happy :)


Freedom

Financial freedom
Is easier to achieve.

Emotional freedom?
Never achieved !!!

Twenty-One

Having joined Boloji as Poetry Editor in April 2005, last month I completed 21 years of editing and publishing over 27,000 poems.

In many religions and traditions, 21 is an auspicious number.

So to mark this auspicious year with Boloji, I thought of sharing an AC Shayari and a BBC Documentary with you :)

Azaan

Kanon Mein
Mere Azaan
De Raha Hai

Bahut Dinon
Se Mujhe
Koi Bula
Raha Hai



The shayari is by me, but the credit for this stupendous documentary with brilliant photography and captivating narration goes to Martin Dohrn, Dave Allen and Steve White. If you have 50 minutes to spare, this is a must-watch. Their scintillating videography will transport you to the world of birds and their murmurations. So don't miss this! Happy Viewing :)
