My Poem - Waiting...



This is my poem, which I wrote a couple of days back. I hope you will like it...




"I won't be able to catch that cloud,
But I can still wait for it to rain,
I can never get that love,
but I can still wait for tears to end...

I can never forget your fragnance,
I can never forget your eyes,
I can never forget the way you use to look at me,and think
This is all I wanted in my life...

I will never be able to catch that time,
But I can still wait for it to come back,
May be I can never get that love,
But I can still wait for my tears to end..."

May be this is Truth

“The sweetness of the voice comes with the sweetness of the heart.” Well may be it’s a true statement or may what I think is more real. Over the period of time I have learned that it’s not the heart it’s the mind that speaks sweetness. If I am scared from my boss, I talk nice to him. If I don’t know the person, I think ok lest just greet and treat him/her for a while, because I know it’s just for a while. On the contrary if I love the person, if adore my friend, I talk to him/her harshly sometimes, unless I want to get a help from them, may be a glass of water or borrow some money. I don’t want to make a judgment so soon that I am mean by this behavior, however I wana make a judgment that I am like any other human. Of course I am happy that I am able put my self in the list of most beautiful creature of god on earth.
I know what I am going to say next might sound like I am comparing the apples and oranges but that’s the way I make my analogies. There are thousands of statements, poems, and one liner written by lots of great leaders in the world. Literature is full of it. Do we ever think these values or sayings are not applicable now a day? Well I do. Like the way we all know Mr. Gandhi stated long back about that whole 2 cheeks 2 slap thing and all thoese others, I don’t think I can follow them and survive in this age. There are few (a lot) which should be followed even today and just speak the truth. Anyways, I guess I am stretching a bit more the allowed elasticity for this topic, so I will come to the point.
I am an India, rather a proud Indian I must say. I have different believes and values then the countries in west. I have been brought up differently, unlike Europe, Australia, America and others. When I grew up and saw the world from the viewpoint from which I wanted to I realized that there is a different angle of the values we have been taught. Few Values now look like the sayings from great leader, which are not applicable in this age, few look like the sweetness of words those are coming from brain now not the heart. Are we the correct generation to bring the change for the betterment or we should also just follow what have been said and told to us? If a generation previous to us can make some good changes by fighting with their elders like “sati pratha” and that crap, can’t we fight for things like dowry? People have guts to say to announce that they are gay; why can another one standup and say if you take dowry I will turn into a gay. Its not just dowry, it the openness that is required and it’s the strength to stand for what is truth. Don’t think like me and write, “May be this is Truth” correct yourself and say strongly “This is Truth”.
