Let them fly

Children are the
Kites flown by their parents
Not all kites
Can fly in the sky
Some are just meant
To be kept at home
Safe & sound
But that’s not
What kites are made for
They have to fly
They have to embrace
The wind up above
That’s what they are made for
So the parents
Got to realize
To fly them
To leave them into
The infinite universe
And have HOPE
That they will find
A good place themselves
After the string is detached
Not all are supposed to
Land on the roofs
Some may even land
In the river or mud
But all these
Exciting things can happen
To the kites
Only if they are
Given the freedom
Freedom to fly
Freedom of risk
Freedom of responsibilities
And that’s how the kites learn
Life is about learning
And not teaching
Let them learn
Let them fly
Let them feel one moment of freedom
Who knows
They might not like the freedom
And come back to you
With happy heart
That you let them fly

P.S.: Today’s pick is FLY BY of Blue. And Happy Makar Sankranti, the festival of kites. No holidays and I am at work 😦 But weekend is almost here 😉

Secrets..

tpp, tpp, tpp
tpp, tpp, tpp
tpp, tpp, tpp, tpp

With each step ahead
tpp, tpp, tpp
Sweat from the brow
tpp, tpp, tpp
Destination beyond horizon
tpp, tpp, tpp
Next level of dehydration
tpp, tpp, tpp
No one to help
tpp, tpp, tpp
Track me by the sweat trail
tpp, tpp, tpp
I may not go long
tpp, tpp, tpp
I may stumble in the next step
tpp, tpp, tpp
How did I reach here?
tpp, tpp, tpp
tpp, tpp, tpp
tpp, tpp, tpp
Oh, I am tired to move anymore
The sunburn hurts
The injuries hurt
tpp, tpp, tpp
Have been dragging my feet
Since last 6 hours
tpp, tpp, tpp
I have been free
Since the same last 6 hours
tpp, tpp, tpp
Before that
I was held
I was a hostage
tpp, tpp, tpp
I was kicked, punched
tpp, tpp, tpp
I was beaten
By a stick, rod, belt
You name it
I was tortured
Several teeth cracked
Limbs broken
tpp, tpp, tpp
But I didn’t give up
I didn’t tell them the secrets
I sacrificed my life
Life of my family
My mother, wife and son
tpp, tpp, tpp
But didn’t tell my enemies
Anything valuable
Luckily got hold of a blade
tpp, tpp, tpp
Killed 2 and in return
Got shot twice
tpp, tpp, tpp
Running towards the border
But, where is it?
tpp, tpp, tpp
I know I won’t be able
To meet anyone anymore
But
tpp, tpp, tpp
At least I will not die a hostage
Not as a turncloak

tpp, tpp, tpp
tpp, tpp, tpp, tpp
tpp,tpp, tpp
A herd of Eagles hovering
tpp, tpp, tpp

Read it..

Read it.

You are in present.

Read it again.

You are in the present again.

The last READ IT

Is the past now.

The first READ IT

Is also the past now.

The next Read it

Will be the Future

Future is uncertain!

That Read it may never come

It may be Write it

Future is tricky

Think about the Future

Plan also

But don’t make it engraved that

It will pan out the way you think

Past.. Oh! Killing, shame, gone

Why to re-live it?

Didn’t you get it?

It’s gone

Just like a bird

Freed from a cage

It would never want to return

Within the boundaries

Yes! It’s gone

Let it fly

What you can do is…

Enjoy it’s flight

Not crave for it in the cage

Smile, when it flies with other birds

Smile, when it chirps

Smile, when it smiles back to you

Smile & bow down, when it’s grateful for the freedom

Smile and go to sleep

Next day, it will be there

At your window

To remind you

It hasn’t forgotten the manners

And still remembers you

The best thing you can do is

Feed it & Free it..

Hope you get it

If not..

Go above and again READ IT!

Steal you away..

You wake up at 8:30

And hurriedly get ready for office

And reach there by 9

There you do your work

Have a cup of tea in-between

Sometimes even a sandwich

Do social surfing and read online stuff

Talk to your boss about the work at hand

Feel drowsy sometimes and hence talk to some friend

Keep on chatting with them and so comes the lunch time

You have a controlled diet and prefer fruits

Over the artificial food being served

You rely much on water cause you think you’ll put on weight

And then the clock stucks 6

And the taxi arrives for you to go to hostel

Before that you spend the memorable times with your friends

With whom you’re open and share your life and options and decisions

And then you return to hostel and have dinner

And talk to your family whom you love the most

Your sisters and mum and dad and grandma

And then you pen down some of your thoughts

And save it for future reference

And then finally after some here there talk with roomies

Sleep hugs you and takes you to dreamland

---

I want to steal you away

From your daily hectic boring schedule

Not for always but for a week

And take you to a wonderful place

And spend time with you

Talk to you, know you better

Make you smile

Give you flowers

Tease you by calling names

Want you to come back at me for teasing you

Want you to enjoy nature and feel the breath

Want you to stand with your feet on my feet and walk with me like that

Want you to tickle so much that you can’t breathe due to laughter

Want you to cherish the marshmallows and strawberries

Want you to feel love and freedom everywhere around you

Want you to leave behind every trouble and worries at bay

Want you to feel like a Queen and me your butler

Want you to feel the last rays during sunset

Want you to fall asleep with a smile on your lips

Want you to hold my elbow even while sleeping

Want you to be YOU so that we can be WE

And wake up daily with this feeling of completeness

It’s all up my sleeve..

If you want happiness

If you want truth

If you want support

If you want love

If you want kisses

If you want hugs

If you want ignorance

If you want risks

If you want regrets

If you want comfort

If you want care

If you want touch

If you want anger

If you want silence

If you want smile

If you want freedom

If you want surprise

If you want anything

If you want something

You just need to ask, it’s all up my sleeve

Just for you!!
