A Lifetime Together ...

2012-08-17T09:36:00.002-07:00

You and me, together as One,

A fabric so rustic,and lovingly woven,

Stitched at the seams, with threading’s of love,

A bonding so strong, that nothing can go wrong,

Through good & bad, concreting a bond,

Lasting a life long, a commitment so strong,

Like a chorus and verse, together a song,

A candle & a wick, together a flame,

Feelings so mutual, and handled with care,

The sharing of dreams, and union of wishes,

A strength of the future, derived from now,

Like Bodies two, engulfed in one soul,

All for a purpose, an everlasting bond,

Soulful a journey, and a lifetime together…

An Interview with MR. LIVER

2012-08-17T05:56:00.000-07:00

V – Hello Mr. Liver. It’s good to have you on our show.

L – Am honored and it’s my pleasure too !

V – Liver problems have become a matter of concern and now a days we see

many people suffering from these.

L - Yes, it’s just that people are not living a healthy life and this does affect

me.

V- How does the liver help the human body ?

L - I store the iron reserves that the body needs as well as lot of vitamins &

other minerals.

I make the bile to help digest the food.

I detoxify the poisonous chemicals that one gives me & that includes

alcohol, beer, wine & drugs (prescribed & over the counter) as well as illegal

substances.

I store energy like a battery, by stockpiling sugar ( carbohydrates, glucose

& fat) until the body needs it.

I make the blood that got your system going even before you were born.

I manufacture new proteins that your body needs to stay healthy and grow

I remove poisons from the air, exhaust smoke and chemicals you breathe.

I make clotting factors that stop the bleeding when you accidentally prick

your self.

I help you to defend against the germs ( cold / Flu ) going into your body

all the time. I either knock them out or at least weaken them.

V – This is quite interesting and sounds good. But then how do we take care

of the liver ? Any tips from your side ?

L – Yes, you need to learn to love me as well and take care of me.

See to it that you don’t drown me in beer / alcohol or wine. Even one drink

is too much for some and can scar me for life.

Watch those drugs. All drugs are chemicals and when you mix them up

without a doctor’s advice you could create something poisonous that could

damage me badly.

Chemicals are big damager's for me ! I scar easily and those scars are called

“cirrhosis” which are permanent.

Be careful with aerosol sprays/ deo's/ bug & paint sprays. When using these

sprays wear a mask OR keep the room ventilated.

Watch what gets on your skin. The insecticides you spray on trees can get

on to me and destroy my cells too. Cover your skin with long sleeves, gloves,

hat and mask when you deal with them.

Avoid fatty foods. I make the cholesterol your body needs and make it in the

right amount.

V – Wow this is a lot of important information. Any symptoms that you can point

out, so that we know our liver is in danger ?

L - I would love to, but unfortunately I can’t and won’t tell you that I am in

trouble until I am almost at the end of my rope and yours. I am a

non-complainer. Overloading me with drugs, chemicals, alcohol & other junk

can destroy me. This may be the only warning that you may get.

V – On a leaving note, what would be your advice for all of us ?

L - Remember to love me and follow the tips I have given. Check me out with

your doctor.

Blood screening tests can identify some trouble. If I am soft and smooth

that’s good. But if I am hard and bumpy that could mean trouble.

If your doctor suspects trouble, Ultra sounds and CT scans can look into it.

Ultimately my life and yours depends on how much you care & love me. I am

always your silent partner and ever loving lover.

Everlasting Love...

2012-07-22T00:10:00.001-07:00

We were together all the time,

Drenched in each other's love,

His sorrow made me Cry,

My happiness made him laugh,

We shared all the joys and sorrows..

And shared & faced the troubled times.

Days were flying but little did we know,

That this journey was soon to end,

Due to his untimely death...

All was over, even before we knew,

That we were love birds made for each other.

Life's long and all alone in difficult times,

But I still feel the strength within,

Co'z I have his love and memories to cherish,

I know he's loved me and is still with me,

Guiding me up there and watching me over,

Although he's not here today, he still cares for me,

I know this is everlasting love which nothing can change...

On Being a Father…

2012-07-14T05:06:00.000-07:00

I remember the moment,

The day she was born,

When I carried her in my arms,

Nervous and unsure,

If I held her tight,

The rolling of tears,

And the moment of Pride

How I tried to comfort her,

As she cried & wriggled in my arms,

My loving little angel,

So gentle & fragile,

A moment so amazing,

To see my reflection so right,

As I touched her little fingers,

She caught them tight,

It was her Dad,

May be she did recognize,

Life’s more beautiful now,

As she takes her baby steps,

A delight to watch her grow,

Venturing me into a new role,

For my Bundle Of Joy,

And a Dad in the making…

( Emotions of a first time father, as he holds his new born daughter in his arms )

Friendship...

2012-07-11T09:58:00.002-07:00

Friendship is sweet bond,

Binding you in a golden string

That's invisible,but can make you feel,

The strength of togetherness,

Friendship is a relation so pure & innocent,

That teaches you to sacrifice,

A bond full of meaning,

So very precious and rare,

Friendship doesn't make you compete,

With your loved ones,

But only makes way for them,

Inspite of all the hinderances,

Friendship makes Stranger's come close,

Make them share their joys and sorrows...

You open your minds,

Cry and laugh your hearts out,

And that's what matter's when,

You are at ease, co'z only a Friend,

And his true friendship has that feel…

If Tomorrow Never Comes...

2012-07-07T08:46:00.002-07:00

Life's an Enigma, with events of happenings,

Living for tomorrow, can be an unfulfilled wish,

Today is what u hold, see that it might not slip,

Tomorrow is not guaranteed,You may be short of time,

Else not have it at all...

May be you still have to act,

Wave a good bye to your dear one,

Or bring a smile to a crying child,

You might still have to forgive your friend,

Or hug your Mom telling how much you love her,

U need to say sorry to a friend you once hurt,

Or thank someone for being with you always,

Confess your love to someone eagerly waiting,

Or discuss things you have avoided your entire life,

Still to go on long walks with those unending talks,

Or wear that dress you kept for an occasion,

It scares and brings shiver's when thoughts flash my mind,

Of all the things unspoken, still needed to be heard,

Of leaving without expressing, of an exit without performing,

Only a thought....What if Tomorrow Never Comes ?

Bidaai...

2012-06-24T06:25:00.000-07:00

Soch rahi hu,

Thoda yaad kara du tujhe,

Tera woh packing ka saaman,

Pata hai Jagah hai kam,

Par ek zindagi ko sametna ka hai sawaal,

Kabhi socha hai,

kaha rakkhogi ?

Bachpan aur jawani ka aalam ?

Woh yaadein, woh lamhein,

Woh hasee ke fawwarein,

Woh zhagde, woh aasu,

Woh mom ki daatein,

Gam aur khushi ke woh pal,

Aur phool jaise nazuk se rishtein,

Jaate Jaate samet lena in sabko,

Har us rishte aur lamhe ko,

Jisne tumhe banaya, sarhaya,

Udna sikhaya aur zindagi ko sajaya,

Kaske potli me apne,

baandh lo inhein,

Har ek cheez ka rakkho khayal,

Bina kuch Idhar udhar giraye,

Kisi bhi yaad ko bina bhulaye,

Ki jab bhi hamari yaad sataye,

Khol ke is potli ko,

Tu hamesha muskuraye…

( This is a message from an elder sister to her younger sister who is on the verge of getting married )

हजारों ख्वाहिशे ऐसी...(Hazaron Khwahishein Aisi)

2012-06-20T11:43:00.000-07:00

ज़िंदगी के सफर में,

उम्र के हर पड़ाव पर,

जब सोंच के परिंदोंने ली उड़ान,

जन्मी हजारों ख्वाहिशे ऐसी,

न जाने कैसी कैसी, मानो हसीन सपनो जैसी...

जो कभी तन्हा बैठे अकेले में,

सोचते हम अक्सर यू ही कभी,

की ये जो सारे सपने है,

जिस तरह से संभाले हमने है,

बरसातें दिलों में जो सावन है,

और हमारे दिल के अपने है,

आंखोंमें जिनहे सँजोया है,

प्यार से जिसे सजाया है

तकिये से लेके सोये है,

और आसू भी बन के बहे है,

वक़्त रहते इस जीवन में,

क्या पूरे होंगे भी ये कभी ?

जब ख़्वाहिशों को पाने की छाह में,

एक कोशिश मन में ठान ली,

परवाह करे क्यो उस वक़्त की ?

लुफ्त उठाये बस चल दिये,

उस जीने की चाह में,

हजारों ख्वाहिशे ऐसी,

न जाने कैसी कैसी, मानो हसीन सपनो जैसी...

The Rain...

2012-06-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

The clouds when they go dark,

Drizzle droplets of rain all over,

Taking me through an experience,

As I stand there soaked feeling the rain,

My heart falls open when I stand in the rain…

For some it’s sorrow, for some it’s joy,

This is truly not what I understand,

If sunshine for some is all about happiness,

Then they have never danced in the rain,

I feel no sorrow, I feel no pain,

I feel so complete when I am in the rain...

A sprinkle of love, joy and hope,

I admire the beauty that it unfolds,

The anxiety of surprises it has to offer,

I feel amazed for the solace it showers,

Mesmerising me with its magical dance,

Only to soar my spirits so high,

I learn of the embrace which it gives,

The courage I gather to swim against the tide,

An unconditional offering cleansing my heart n soul,

The effect so soothing, it has on my mind…

I feel so complete when I am in the rain...
My heart falls open when I stand in the rain…

All Over Again...

2012-05-23T02:46:00.001-07:00

It was definitely love that brought us close,

We exchanged our wow’s on the wedding altar,

Holding hands tight, with love and faith,

We emerged strongly through the winds of age.

Over the period I now feel a change,

I somehow fear things are not the same,

Something’s amiss, that love has lost its charm,

Could it be, it may cause us some harm ?

Pocketed moments appear to have spilled,

Gathering them, has now become a myth,

I am wondering where & what went wrong,

What do we do to revive the old magic strong ?

Remember the road, we walked in the rain

Bare footed though, and still no signs of pain,

The dinners you cooked, on Saturday nights,

And decorated the walls, with memories of mine,

The Shakespeare you recited, holding a glass of wine,

Those lovely flowers, that brought twinkle in my eyes

Going on long drives, in the middle of the night,

Beach walks together, leaving footprints on sands of time,

Sweet little whispers, transforming into naughty smiles,

Just can’t forget, the feeling so divine.

All this so precious, that our hearts hold dear,

It hurt’s no end, to imagine, it’s existence in fear,

Can’t we still stand a chance to revive it again ?

Come… lets fall in love, all over again…

And keep it going ...... again & again !

Silence...

2010-07-03T02:25:00.000-07:00

I hear the voice of silence,

It speaks volumes of love and pain,

I hear the voice of silence,

You need to be silent to hear the same.

Silence of the first love,

awaiting the spring to blossom.

Silence of the ageing parents,

who are left to themselves.

Silence of an orphan child,

awaiting an adoption.

Silence of the hungry millions,

waiting to get their daily bread.

Silence of the grieving mother,

over her stillborn child.

Silence of the prayers offered,

that await the grace of almighty.

Silence of the distressed lives,

awaiting their end to come near.

Silence of death...the ultimate truth,

Only thing it says...

there's no life ahead...
