Promises Of Tomorrow

May be tonight it's dark
But it will be bright tomorrow
There is a hope in the stars today
That speaks of a brighter tomorrow

May be it was hard today
But then it will be better tomorrow
There is a feeling I have 
That believes in a happier tomorrow

May be things didn't go the right way
But tomorrow something good will happen
There is a probability at play
That ensures I will win someday

Sun will shine brighter tomorrow
And the day will be merrier
There is a hope in the wind today
That whispers the promises of tomorrow..

I - A little about me

I come from a faraway land

Where the sky is vast and the stars are bright

Where the soul is free and life flourishes in the midst of a desert

I am from Rajasthan, land of colors and boisterous festivities

I am second born to a lovely family 

I am a girl with hope and compassion 

With dreams high and desire to learn, I stepped into college 

Brought out the leadership qualities to the fore 

And put the enormous potential into action 

Then there was time for another chapter 

The little bird finally left the comforting nest 

And there I was with new wings to fly and explore the world 

Ups and down, twist and turns; I have seen them all in life 

Learn from the lows and grow with the highs 

But still stay grounded to the core that’s the gist of my life 

I am a girl who never quits and will try again and again 

I am a ship that sails and rides the billows wild and free 

With the wind I sail and roar against the fierce storm 

I am a bird trying to fly beyond the horizon 

Even though it has been hard on the path to here 

And you may see me struggle but you will never see me fall 

Like the ocean whose tides many times they are down 

But invariably they rise, from nadir to the crest 

With more vigor than before; more hungrier than ever 

And now that I have learnt to overcome the odds

Here I am again, to learn as I grow and contribute in every way I can

Knowing where I came from, going somewhere I wish to be

A bridge in my journey, I am determined to cross

To be able to touch the sky and fly beyond

A step closer to the sky; a step closer to my dream..

A Thousand Miles

Every time I feel a breeze
And my heart sways with the wind
I wish I could wander
And I would hustle a thousand miles
Just to be with you

Every time I see birds
Flying high in the sky
I wish I had wings
And I would fly a thousand miles
Just to be with you

Every time it rains
And I see a rainbow
I wish I was a rain
And I would rain wherever you were
Just to be with you

Every time I see up in the sky
And I see gliding clouds
I wish I could float
And I would travel a thousand miles
Just to be with you

For you, I would walk a thousand miles
Just to be with you
For you, I wish a million things
Just to be with you....(:

Pebbles - Childhood Revelation I

Walking by the sea

Throwing smooth washed pebbles
As far as I could

For most of my childhood 

I believed pebbles were different from stones

That they were found on beach

Because they were round and smooth

So as not to hurt the strollers

That they were colourful 

To make the sea look beautiful

Like I used to wear hair-bands and clips

To dress up in my childhood

Logic seemed perfectly fine

Until I knew something like science

And logic took a toll

Little did I know then

Something so soft and calm 
Like the ocean water 
Could grind the rough stones into soft pebbles

But still I choose to believe, nature placed them there 

So that I don't get hurt 

Next time I walk bare feet by the ocean

To indulge in the beauty of setting sun... :)
