What makes us special

2012-02-10T21:37:00.000-08:00

You love me
I love you
You respect me
I respect you
But what makes us unique
what makes us special
What endears us to each other
What keeps us together
We love each other
for what we are
We love each other
for our good qualities
But more importantly
for our bad ones too
Appreciating each others flaws
Beaming at each others virtues
Taking pleasure in each others company
Setting an example to others
We hold each other
In an embrace of love
we hold each other
In an embrace that shall last forever

Why has the pen stopped moving

2012-02-08T20:02:00.001-08:00

Seconds have rolled by into minutes
Minutes have rolled by into hours
Hours have rolled by into days
Days have rolled by into months
The nib has stopped scribbling
The ink has stopped flowing
The pen has stopped moving
The pages remain unfilled
Well , why not
I need not brood over anything
For I have you to take care of me
I will never feel alone
For you are always waiting for me
I will never need to fight alone
For your support adds to my strength
I will never need to ask anything more
For I have been gifted with you ....
----------Uday Guntupalli

As we walk apart

2011-12-24T19:48:00.000-08:00

For every minute
That we spend apart
For every step
That we take apart
A cloud forms
An unrest settles
With my heart beating wildly
For being separated from its mate
------------Uday.G

Your consent

2011-12-05T22:22:00.000-08:00

The wait for your stare
Speaks little
The wait for your smile
Speaks little
The wait for your gestures
Speak even less
The wait for charming you
Speak even less
But , the wait for your consent speaks it all "

Why I hate to explain myself to you

2011-11-22T23:32:00.000-08:00

My attempts to explain myself
My trials to explain my heart
My efforts to open up
My cracks at transparency
All look meaningless
All sound funny
They make me feel like a fool
They leave me confused
When they are meant for you
When they are done for you
It looks like my heart attempts to repeat to itself
It seems that my mind reasserts itself what it is
For long before our souls have united as one
Does all this mean anything ?

" What your company means to me "

2011-11-22T23:30:00.000-08:00

" In your wake I have seen true joy
In your company I have experienced true love
In your words I have felt true care
In your looks I have seen true affection

Cherishing each moment spent by your side
Memorizing them even in sleep
Awaiting to credit more such memories
I ache for time that can be spent with you

For I know the value of your presence by my side
I value your presence beyond anything
Bless me with your presence
To cherish for ever"

Shattered hopes

2011-11-20T00:49:00.000-08:00

" Wishing to walk by your side
Craving to be the one to hold your hand
Trying to win your heart
Taking life away from the bruises we endured
I wanted to be
the reason for your smile
You fear that
you might bring tears to my eyes
Little do you realize
they turn sweet when they are shed for you
But you let bruises of yesterday
shadow my feelings
Willing to walk away
From the heart that beats for you
Deserting the soul
that craved to be yours
Wondering why you fear tomorrow
not even seeing today
I stand at the cross roads
Unwilling to let you go
But hating to force my presence upon you
I drag my feet away
Shedding tears
Bruising myself
Willing to go down the path of pain
Which I am much more familiar with

i let my imagination run wild
Barely trying to control the countless things I want to share
I let silence rule
Waiting for you to take interest
I let myself lose in thoughts
Barely trying to express the countless feelings I crave to express
For I wish to hold your hand now
Barely being able to blurt all that my heart leaps up for
For I wish to make you mine for ever and ever "

To be able to see you smile "

Is it so wasy to say no ?

2011-10-25T20:50:00.000-07:00

Opening my heart for you
After assuming I never would
Paving a way for you
After assuming I will never yield the path
Waiting expectantly
After giving up hope
Waiting eagerly
After having found renewed enthusiasm for you
Giving up on thoughts of love
I have travelled along a lonely track
Only to find you
Enticing me back to love
Now I stay confused
Not knowing if the path exists
Now I stand dejected
Not knowing if I have your warmth to accompany me
Filled with depression
Life gets back to gloomy days
Where I carve for your warmth
I cry like a baby for your love
Will you ever truly hold my hand
Is it so easy to say no?
--------- Uday .G

Pleasant walks

2011-10-07T20:42:00.000-07:00

Every step that I walk with you
Every moment I spend with you
Is a boon I never prayed for
Is a chance I can never miss
Wishing that these moments last
Hoping that they only lengthen
Endearing such a lovely soul to me
Enveloping me with serenity
With a heart so pure
As fair as the snow
With a smile so innocent
As plain as that of a child
You are a boon
Your company is a blessing

Anticipation That Paid OFF

2011-08-29T21:18:00.001-07:00

Awaiting her glance
Awaiting her call
Agony I have endured
Joy I have forgone
Shackles I have lived with
Suffering I have undergone
Time I have spent alone
Tears I have shed for you
Every moment I would have spent with you
Every moment I spent awaiting your come back
Long waits seem to paid off
Long hours of agony seem distant now
Today, I await your comeback to my side
I anticipate every moment that I wish to spend with you
Will never want to lose you again
To hold your hand forever

The moment your eyes became moist
that moment my heart lost its rhythm
The moment your face lost the smile
that moment life drained out of mine
That charmed smile of yours
Fills my heart with joy
That lively nod of yours
renews with new vigor
Craving your smile
cherishing your content
Celebrating your success
Charmed by your presence

I stand behind watching your step
Loving your grace
Enchanted by your charisma

"TRUE FEELINGS "

2011-07-17T10:10:00.000-07:00

It fills me with awe and wonder to stare at you
An enchanting smile
A killer glance
Am filled with fear , coz
You are so impeccable
You are so immaculate
My eyes crave for you
In busiest crowds
In all known and unknown gatherings
Always surprised
To find my eyes searching for you involuntarily
To suudenly realise that I am in your company
Instilling confidence
Are your charming grins
And enticing miens
Bowled over by your radiating perfection
Lost in your alluring presence
My heart has skipped a beat
In a life so colorful and bright
Will you walk with me
Will you stay by me
Making it even more amusing & enjoyable ??

The life meant for you

2011-06-29T12:23:00.000-07:00

In this life meant for you
" Long walks in the night
Late talks into the night
Unmatched successes
Unchallenged milestones
All look trivial
All seem meaningless
The most exciting prospects
The most intriguing objects
The most caring companions
The worst loathed rivals
All look lifeless
All seem meaningless
Little can words convey
Plenty stays unspoken
Most things look so insignificant
Most thoughts sound so irrelevant
All of this is due to absence of your company in a life meant for you

Yes , will hold some hand in mine

when it is not your hand in mine
Little do I care
when its not you who shares my thoughts
Yes, will rest in some lap

Yes, will sleep on some shoulder
every time in distress
Little does it matter
when it is not your lap that I rest on
Little do I care when it is not your shoulder that I sleep on

For you are someone special to me

FAREWELL

2011-01-11T03:55:00.001-08:00

“The day that I shall dread
For years to come
The day when I shall leave the place
Where I have learnt what life is
The day when I shall set out in search of a new home
Away from the one that has been my home
The day when I shall walk alone
Far away from the group of which I have been a part off”

“I have understood what life is
I have learnt what friendship is
I have learnt the joy in giving
I have learnt the ways of the cruel & treacherous
I have understood how it feels to be cheated
I have learnt what love is
I know how it feels to be loved
I know how it feels to be left out
I know what all this means “
WE ARE PARTING WAYS  

“I stare with puffy eyes
I am wrapped up in my feelings
I still wonder “WHY I NEVER TOLD YOU OR YOU TO ME? “
Now there is none to blame
I carry the burden of our separation
Dreaming how it would feel to rest my head in your lap
Or to have yours on my shoulders
I might never get to know, Will I????

HOW MUCH CAN I MISS HER ??

2010-12-26T23:23:00.000-08:00

With tears flooding across my cheek
Fighting hard to stop them
Staring at the moon
Remembering her sweet embrace
Writhing in pain
Engulfed in memoirs she has left
Dwelling over the unspoken volumes in my heart
Wondering about the difference it would have made
Had I voiced them
I stay stranded alone and lonely ...

LOVELY & LOVABLE PARENTS : )

2010-12-20T08:14:00.001-08:00

Pampered by love and care
We have learnt only to take
Spoilt by unconditional affection
We have ceased to care for our loved ones
Are they accountable?
For foregoing all their comforts
Are they answerable?
For the innumerable sacrifices they make.
Teaching us to walk
Taking joy in our successes
Tutoring us every aspect of life
Molding us with great care
Yet they ask nothing
But rejoice in our joy
Still they expect little
But little love and care
We selfish brats
Find it hard to spend little time by their side
Feel irritated by their queries
Find them unreasonable
Find their advices irrational
How do we grow into such meaningless beasts, at least many?
Not many in the world are blessed with what we are.
A happy family is a great asset. CHERISH IT.
LOVE YOUR PARENTS

IS THE SEARCH FUTILE ???

2010-11-15T08:01:00.000-08:00

“Engrossed in life
Captivated by dreams
Charmed by relations
Blindly believing false promises
Confidently stepping ahead
Firmly believing I am backed
Trusting every pat and every nod
Deserted and Dejected now
Blackness engulfing the future
Hope has been long lost
Should have learn t the day you left
If you couldn’t stand by my side …… who else will?

Paying the price for believing blindly
Feeling around like a blind man
Searching for a tiny glimmer of hope
IS the search futile????? “

On the darkest dusk's
On the warmest dawns
In the wildest pastures
In the best groomed lawns
Where ever I go
Where ever I glance
On the softest pillow
On the hardest ground
In the richest dwellings
In the poorest homes
Where ever I go
Where ever I glance
Debilitated I stand
Vitality I lack
Smiles have long disappeared
Miles have lengthened
Where ever I go
Where ever I glance
The search still continues
As The find will do miracles
In your search I have departed kith and kin
In your search I have departed care and caution
Where ever I go
Where ever I glance
For you carry my happiness
You are my princess

"I have lost count of time
Since that first touch
Since that kind speech
I have lost count of time
Since that first walk
Since that late jog
Today,we have come down a long way on the path called life
I know not the measure of time
I have not known a better touch
I have not known a kinder speech
I have not known a better walk
I have not known a happier jog
Life may have moved on, but for me, time paused itself the moment we became one
For, ever since,
I have known only joy
I have long forgotten what is pain
As I look back along every path
It is your imprint that marks my life at every step"
You are not part of my life but you are my life "

"Tears of the land of GANGES"

2010-08-14T20:55:00.000-07:00

The sacred land of GANGES
The unfathomable land of himalayas
Its my holy motherland - INDIA
She has bravely faced betrayal
She has valiantly stood against injustice
Its my holy motherland- INDIA
TOday she suffers from pain
inflicted by her dear children upon her
She suffers from the pangs of separation
As her children leave her craving for riches
Enticed by their riches
Lured by their customs
Enchanted by their enigmas
Enthralled by their liberties
Leaving behind brothers in blood and arms
Vanquishing hopes nurtured
Leaving behind near and dear
Stifling the long lasting affections
Off they plod away
Plotting to amass plethora of riches
Off they tread away
Along prosperous paths leaving their motherland behind
They fail to realize
Why they are acclaimed everywhere
They fail to understand why they command respect
It is because they are the children of mother INDIA "

" DO I PROPOSE ????? "

"Unsure of what to say
Unable to stop myself from staring at you
Craving to touch you gently
Craving to make you mine
Unsure of your thoughts
Unable to understand your heart
Caught in a maze of thoughts
Confusing me further i find you staring at me
Loving you like never before
Striving to make you mine
Hoping against hope
Praying for your assent
I make umpteenth attempts to bring a smile to your lips
For that smile brings joy to my heart
Your smile never ceases to entice me
It makes my heart leap
I want to be the reason you smile
I want to hold your hand in mine
I want to wipe away your sorrow
I wish to hold you tenderly in my arms
I wish to spend the rest of my life
By your side
I wish to sleep in your lap
Like a child
I wish to be your company
Forever and forever "

“ As you shun me away
With those tiny palms
As you try to ignore me
While stealing glances as you walk
Your every attempt makes me smile
While my eyes stay transfixed
Your every step draws me to you
While my feet refuse to make a move
Every subtle sign you make
Every simple thing you say
Every small talisman you cherish
Every simple thing you say
Your subtle signs cayse ripples in my heart
While your every word etches itself in my memory
Your petty valuables appear like assets
Your memoirs mark my actions “
For every morning
I wish to wake up
To the warmth of your hug and
The melody of your voice
For every night
I wish to
Lay down and melt away like a child
In your tender arms
What more can I ask off life
What more can I pray for ……

DEEPEST THOUGHTS

2010-07-08T07:11:00.001-07:00

Every time you play with those strands of hair falling on to your face
I am plunged into sweet mesmerizing thoughts
Every time your cute fingers play around the slender curve on your neck
My fingers crave to touch your neck
Every time your lips break into a smile
My heart aches to whisper out to you
Every time you throw a glance at me
My heart skips a beat
In those slender arms
I seek refuge
In your cute palms
I seek care
In your tender fingers
I seek touch
In your lovely shoulders
I seek a hug

WHY I CAN NEVER LEAVE YOU

2010-05-31T05:26:00.000-07:00

It is one question I can't answer
Your mesmerizing touch
Your soothing words
Your encouraging smile
Your captivating looks
All have become luxuries of yesterday
I yearn for these lost luxuries
I crave for your company
I memorize those sweet times
I cherish those memories
Now you have left my side
Now I stand alone
Years have rolled by
I still stand alone waiting ....
The wait will not cease
The hope shall not die
People wonder why I cant leave you alone
So do you and I
As I probe into my heart

I see your tender fingers in mine asking my love
I see your sweet lips parted in innocence
I see you throwing innocent glances at me
I see your cheeks blushing at the slightest touch
I see your hair in twirls dancing around your ears
I see your hands playing around your pretty face...

Is this why I cant leave you
For, I see you in my every thought
I find you in my every move
I hear you at every step
I miss you from the bowels of my heart....

“Dragging my bruised feet
Away from the streets
Pulling my eyes
Away from the surrounding gorgeousness
Away I move
Off I go “
“Don’t know where my feet head
Don’t know where my heart is bound
I tread unknown alleys
I step down dangerous lanes
Away I move
Off I go “
“My battered feet just drag on
They bleed on and on
My blemished heart weeps
Following suit are my puffy eyes
Away I move
Off I go “
“Unable to bear your suspicion
Incapable of fighting my own heart
Unable to see my own eyes pierce me
Incapable of showing you my sorrow
Away I move
Off I go “
“Down that lane I have walked for the thousandth time tonight my lass, for that is where I met you my angel so that I can catch a glimpse and convince you, still unable to leave you, my heart and eyes weep and weep. Come and touch me and emancipate me of this burden … “

The Indian Education System

2010-04-01T21:17:00.000-07:00

While most of the nation and its leaders are babbling about “Mandatory education for every Indian between 6 and 14 years”, little attention is being paid to the standard of education. Something to cheer about here is that our union education minister Mr.Kapil Sibal has been trying to bring into force a unified education system unifying the best features of the education systems that are functioning across the nation.
Now what crops up in any one’s mind is what is wrong with the education system that has been hailed one of the best in the entire world …. ??? The answer to this will not be found in any of the top class institutes (only the top class ones ) like the IIT’s and the IIM’s or an ISB .. If we look at the major institutions (especially the institutions imparting technical education and management skills). Why should this be a matter of concern to any one …??? The larger concentration of Indian elites come not from the much talked about IIT’s and IIIT’s but from the remaining institutes .What about the standard of education the young guns of the nation are being imparted here. Well, the matter of concern here is not just the syllabus or something, but the way the academic work is carried about...
Emphasis is largely upon the memory of an individual rather than the sharpening an individual’s talents which is actually the essence of education. But this fact is being ignored and most institutes are emphasizing on the memory capability of the students.
What is the whole point of asking a student to remember a formula when it is always available in the book? What is the whole point of asking a student to reproduce what is there in some text book? Therein lies the fault of our education system. A student should be made to understand and analyze giving him the freedom to take up subjects or fields of his interest unconditionally. And the way an individual’s skills should be tested are to be in a way where he finds interest in exhibiting his skills…
If a change as such can be brought about in the education system then India will be buzzing with true talent and will face with only one problem that’s to have surplus skilled young guns.. I am one who wants to see such a change brought about in the education system which has ruined my creativity and made me one amongst many from “1 in many “. Is the youngistan marching wih me …..???????

" A BRUISED HEART SPEAKS "

2010-02-22T09:43:00.001-08:00

The day you left my hand
That day I lost my ability to think
The day you spoke those fateful words
That day I lost my sense of listening
The day you made me make that fateful promise
I lost my sense of speech
A lot of time has passed
I have lost all sense of time
TIME IS KNOWN TO HEAL ALL WOUNDS
BUT MY WOUND HAS ONLY DEEPENED
Now you want to make up
You want to be in my thoughts
Now you want to whisper lovingly into my ears
The words of passion
Now you ask me to pledge my love to you
Yet again you ask of me the love you have abandoned.
What should I offer?
What can this wounded heart offer you?
Impaired by the loss of your love
Paralyzed by the loss of your company
My heart has ceased to respond
I have lost all my feelings.
But my heart still aches from those sweet memoirs
Those days when you and I were spoken as off one
I feel it is a boon to see you beside me again
I take immense pleasure in walking by your side
Your breath by my side brings in new hopes
Transporting me to the world I can ever be only with you.
My hopes improve with each passing moment
Anxiousness to gain you back builds within the shattered pieces
But my battered soul wards me off
Afraid of the pain it has experienced
If I ever lose you again
I will never be able to recoup myself again.

Learn the truth

2010-02-09T06:09:00.000-08:00

Charmed by his innocent looks
Carried away by his impressive demeanor
Enamored by his chastising (imprisoning) vocalizations
Dreaming of his famed humor
Dear lass off you are going, off you are going.

He stands out in the group
He is one in the crowd
He leads many
He has it all, and now you
Dear lass off you are going, off you are going

You complement each other well
So says everyone
You make a good pair
So says everyone
Dear lass off you are going, off you are going
Stop your thoughtless journey
Halt your feet
Turn back towards the path you have trodden
See what has changed
Dear lass stop leaving me, stop leaving me
In my pained eyes
Search for the truth
In my troubled words
Learn the unspoken
Dear lass stop leaving me, stop leaving me

As you look through the past
Search what time has offered
In troubled waters
Who will stand by you?
Dear lass stop leaving me, stop leaving me

Unspoken is the truth
Unbearable is the pain
More than the pain that you have deserted me
I fear about your innocence getting trampled by his deceit
Dear lass stop leaving me, stop leaving me..

As you look back I sit aloof mouthing the unknown prayers for your well being . . Step back if not into my life at least into safety

Charmed by your enthralling looks
Dazzled by your grace
Maiden , O dear maiden

Distracted by your luscious lips
Disarmed by your inviting smile
Maiden ,O dear maiden

Spell bound by your beautiful walk
Mesmerized by your fragility
Maiden, O dear maiden

Your hair do long
Your feet so light
Maiden,O dear maiden

Enchanted by thee
I lay on my knees
Maiden, O dear maiden

I dream of holding your hand
I wish to walk by your side
Maiden, O dear maiden

You have come into my life like a whirlwind
You have changed my destiny
Maiden, O dear maiden

You are in my thoughts
You drive my actions
Maiden, O dear maiden

Will my dreams be fulfilled
Will we walk as a couple
Maiden, O dear maiden

My heart awaits your approval
My feet quiver with anticipation
Maiden, O dear maiden

My words stutter
My feet falter
Maiden, O dear maiden

As every dawn brings new hopes
Every dusk fills me with disappointment
Maiden, O dear maiden

I march restlessly
I walk hopefully
Maiden, O dear maiden

Bless this devotee with your smile
Bless this follower with your heart
Maiden, O dear maiden

I shalll not bleed to death like a coward
But this heart shall await your step till its last beat

This is a mixture of a few of my old poems I presentesd at univ

2009-11-12T01:38:00.000-08:00

This is a humble tribute to my motherland from her son
" I shall always keep my head high
Never will my head be lowered
Let rumors and accusations rule
Let facts be hidden
Let rocks be pelted
Let grudge and hatred grow
Let failure and criticism prevail
I shall not lower my head "
for
" I tread the path

not the one that is explored and trodden

but the one which is meant to be ideal

Acclaimed though I am

hardly does anyone follow

neither do they care

Harmed and warned though I am

my soul binds me to the lane

filling me with warmth and confidence"

Instilling such confidence is my nation
-> the nation which has taught the world culture
-> the nation which has shown what is patience
-> the nation which has taught the world forbearance
-> the motherland which has given birth to the greatest icons of humanity .
" My motherland India"

But unfortunately the children of this great land are :
" Carving for riches

Severing the long lasting ties

Breaching the trust of their motherland

Off I wanted to go to foreign lands

Unsure though they are of the fortune that awaits

Clear in their nature is the avarice

Though unsure of what they have offered their motherland

Persisting are the questions of what they gained from their holy land

Ungrateful brats are what they have been to leave their motherland ."

A day would dawn when
tears well my eyes looking at whats lost :

" The sweet smell of my holy land

The un flickering love of my kith and kin
The unity in diversity , nothing ,
Nothing of it shall return "

We shall all leave our last breaths hailing our motherland in whose depths we shall finally rest"

2009-08-11T06:28:00.000-07:00

" Carving for riches

Severing the long lasting ties

Breaching the trust of my motherland

Off I wanted to go to a foreign land

Unsure though I am of the fortune that awaits

Clear in my nature is the avarice

Though unsure of what i have offered my motherland

Persisting are the questions of what I gained from my holy land

An ungreatful brat is what I have been to leave my motherland ."

Today tears well my eyes looking at whats lost :

The sweet smell of my holy land

The unflickering love of my kith and kin

All of it is lost and nothing shall return

Letme leace my last breath hailing my motherland in whose depths I shall rest"

My maiden

2009-08-08T07:19:00.000-07:00

" Thy charm outbeats that of nature's splendor

as you were bathed in the purity of sun's radiance

Your hair with all its tangles looked like

a brooks water in the dawn

Your eyes were shining like diamonds and

seemed like knights cutlasses

Your lips which were parted innocently

looked like a lotus with a droplet at its midst

Your persistent efforts to control your flowing hair bought

a pleasent smile to my lips .

I immediately took to cursing my race and time for neither of them permit me

to live that moments ecstacy to eternity"

-Uday.G

"A broken heart"

2009-07-19T02:03:00.000-07:00

"Broken are those infinite promises made

Lost are those countless smiles

Shattered are the numerous dreams we dreamt of each other

Broken are the hearts as we part

Lost are our directions to future

Shattered are our lives and left at crossroads

Broken glass,torn cards ,shattered dreams leave me to daze and

cherish my only wealth : our memories those sweet times

which speak off us as one

" The path I chose "

2009-07-02T08:12:00.000-07:00

" I tread the path

not the one that is explored and trodden

but the one which is meant to be ideal

Acclaimed though I am

hardly does anyone follow

neither do they care

Harmed and warned though I am

my soul binds me to the lane

filling me with warmth and confidence that " I am right "

Be it openly or behind my back

I am jeered over and over

for being indifferent to enticements

Wondering if this is the right thing to be done , I look back to find myself left alone in the quest of truth "

" Are they our link to precious past
Are they proofs of our tumbles and fumbles
Are they our connections to people
Are they bonds which build relations
Are they our paths of introspection
Are they our advisers for better relations
Are they always sweet ?
I wonder if everyone is lucky enough for that .
But no matter how they are every one will have their memories for
only they tell you what you have been "

"They mark every page of my diary
As they have done to everyone
They give me a clear insight of my life
As they have done to everyone's life
They help me pave myself a better future
As they have done to everyone
They help me recognize friend and foe
As they have done to everyone
They help me distinguish prayer and plot
As they have done to everyone
They mirror my reflection
As they have done to everyone
They touch you and me alike
As no one else does "

Did You ever know what it is to feel desperate…..?

2009-06-25T08:36:00.001-07:00

Desperation is

What you find in the loving eyes of a parent who lost their child

What you find in the eyes of a lover who lost his love

What you feel in loosing a dear friend

What you feel when you part away from your carind parents …

Is that what desperation is….?

May be that is not all

A feeling of desolation , hopelessness and fatigue which decorates the eyes of the ones who feel pain for their loved ones, not just when you loose them but when you miss them or see them in pain ……

Who is the real winner?

2009-06-22T07:13:00.000-07:00

"Victorious isn't the one

who commands lands of infinite width

who has every pleasure at his feet

who boasts of himself as a myth

who commands the respect of every scholar

who quenches his thirst of every temptation better than an epicure

who annexes every distant vista in life his dreams could show

if he knows not the art of smiling......

For of what use are those riches to a person who kows not to cherish them "

-------Uday.G

Why was I speechless?

2009-06-17T07:08:00.000-07:00

" Infinite were the words hidden
in my heart waiting to burst out when we meet
Silence was what I maintained
when we met
Many were the words which
tried to make their way out
But none of the words could make it out when we met
How could they
for our eyes spoke way more when they met
They have dried every word which was stored in my heart for you and left me speechless"

LOVE HEALS & REJENUVATES

2009-06-17T06:53:00.000-07:00

" Her love brought me up
like a pheonix from ashes
Her affection made me pure
like a swan
Her caress made me strong
like a cub brought up by a lioness
Her purity emancipated me from sin
like a holy river does to a devotee
Her frivolity added beauty to me
like a crown would do to a king
She made me what i am
by losing herself to me "
-UDAY.G

NEW YEAR

2009-06-17T06:48:00.000-07:00

" Every new year is special
It is the perfect occasion
for friends to exchange wishes

for lovers to exchange love
for kith and kin to rekindle
It brings smiles to everyone
pleasure to eyes
happiness to hearts
peace to mind
But i t makes me infinitely happy
as every new year brings in moments to be shared,memorised and cherished for a lifetime with u ( shhhh ... a special one ) "

SOLITUDE: A TEACHER

2009-06-17T06:44:00.001-07:00

I love solitude because

it teaches me to think rationally
it brings my mind to peace
it helps me understand things
it helps me know what i am
it helps me know what others are

and above all , it hrlps me understand the importance of staying together
-UDAY .G

2009-06-11T08:54:00.000-07:00

" I have forgotten to smile
as betrayal beckons me day after day
I have forgotten to smile
as i begin to lose trust
I have forgotten to smile
as i am not cared for
I have forgotten to smile
as i mean nothing to people I care for
I have now forgotten forever to smile because
people whom i care for have ceased caring for me "
-Uday.G

2009-06-11T08:46:00.000-07:00

" I shall always keep my head high
Never will my head be lowered
Let rumors and accusations rule
Let the facts be hidden
Let stones be pelted
Let grudge and hatred grow
Let failure and criticism prevail
Let punches and kicks blow me up
I shall not lower my head until
flaws touch my heart for i know
" Truth alone triumphs"

2009-06-11T08:33:00.000-07:00

" In the dark gloomy skies
came up a lightning so bright
Just as into my gloomy life
came up a hand so daint
The skies brightened
though just for a moment
Just as my life
with that hand fretting out
The skies were filled with darkness
in the next moment
My thoughts were plunged into loneliness
the next instant
It is natural for nature
to play such tricks
But it is so strange
as she still plays on my mind
The nature may be kind enough
to repeat the show
But I wonder if the lord is kind enough to show that angel again and bring back my departed soul ..............................!

Dreams

2007-08-21T22:58:00.000-07:00

"When failure daunts
and depression rules
Creativity gets killed
Rational thinking is outplayed
Sadness and gloominess takes over
and turn the surroundings into gloomy skies
Then is the time when I look for a hand
which can be held out to me clearing the darkness
Will that ever happen
or as I look on will it become a passing cloud and a shattered dream"

2007-07-12T20:02:00.001-07:00

As a phrase-
a novices beginning
an experts puzzle
As a relation-
a youngsters pride
every elders asset
As per history-
the sole relation which has
umpteenth examples justifying
its presence in numerous books
As per knowledge-
it is a storehouse of
immense knowledge which
is imparted through surplus examples
Its the bond of trust i.e FRIENDSHIP

Nature And Love

I wonder
why the trees and pastures look very beautiful
once in a while though we see them always.
I wonder
why the moon does not always have the

same charm and grace every day.

Is it nature playing tricks to attract the human heart
Or
Is it the drift in our feelings which judges the beauty of our surroundings.

But ,irrespective of the day ,time and mood why& how does a guy in love finds his dame as charming as ever. I wonder if it is the grace & power of love to whose ominous strength the human heart submits.

Reunion

2007-06-24T21:39:00.000-07:00

Just as life rolls on and on a day as such needs to be marked , for it leaves an everlasting impression not just on your mindbut also on your life.

It is never a meagre casualty
but always a vital incident
It is not just a result of fate
but an important happening
It might not earn a place in pages of history
but always strengthens a relationship
It is not just a meagre event
but always a memorable experience

This is not just a poem but an experience
-G.Uday

Light

2007-06-24T21:14:00.000-07:00

It is just not a contemporary of darkness
It is just not a resemblance of wisdom
It is just not a meagre symbol against evil
It is just not a resemblance of great history
It is just not an icon of divinty and purity
It is just not a part of the serene nature
But it is the word of immense prowess and strength

-G.Uday

Youngsters can give a glance

Love

The word which has silenced critics
The word which has accomplished countless wonders
The word which has unveiled numerous emotions
The word that made people defy the age old customs
The word which dissolved the differences in society
The word which produced enormous strength
The word which stood apart from various classifications
The word which united you & me is LOVE (supreme power)

HERE IS ONE MORE FROM MY COLLECTION

2007-06-11T22:26:00.000-07:00

A drizzle cannot free me from dizziness
A shower cannot free me from laziness
A torrential rain cannot free me from depression
A flower cannot free mr from dissatisfaction
A bunch of them would fail to free me from depression
A tribute cannot free me from isolation
But a tear from her eyes can make me realize her need and rise to her help

Jus check one more from my pen

I don't trust my dreams
I am only driven by them
I don't live on my dreams
I am lead by them
I don't love my dreams
I am passionate of them
I don't fancy my dreams
I entrust myself to them
I don't dream of my dreams
I dream of making them real

Hi ,
This is as one of my best phrases . I hope you can really help me out with this. I shall await your reply.

A contest is like a sea
The shores which never meet are victory and defeat
The voyage is like an attempt
The waves are like hardships
The wind is like the luck
Once you begin your journey
You make aan attempt
As you try to fight the waves
you fight the hardships
As you put in your efforts
you test your luck
You can reach the shore only if the wind favours you
Similarly you can emerge victorious only when luck favours you
