Is Mod Se Jaate Hain

"Is Mod Se Jaate Hain
Kuchh Sust Qadam Raste Kuchh Tez Qadam Raahe...
Ye Soch Ke Baithhi Hu Ik Raah To Woh Hogi
Tum Tak Jo Pahonchti Hai
Is Mod Se Jaati Hai"-gulzar

Is mod se jaate hai...I take the same old road everyday to and from work. The trees are getting that early fall color and it's beautiful. I see the same old people running, walking & some even raking the leaves off of their lawns.

I get to and from my destination everyday...but some days I wonder how? I brake for chipmunks, squirrels & even damn birds who fly too low. Once I braked so hard, I almost ended up in the ditch off of S.P Rd! I even hit a deer once, didn't kill it!
Okay, so what is with birds and height? They have the entire sky...but no they seem to be all flocking to die on my windshield!?
On these drives home, I sometimes think of days spent in New York. I even think about the monsoons of Baroda and my terrace! I remember how I used to take my snack..or even my lunch upstairs & eat on the top of the water tank...ahh those were the days!

On other note, am glad that it is cooling down a bit. People tend to shy away from winter weather and cold, I however look forward for the cool, cold & barren days of winter. I see it as another chapter in life. All things must fall to rise again. Must disappear to appear again!

my qualms..

Moonlit sky with clouds of grey
I stare at the stars & back at the moon
They hide & I seek them out
With you a world full of qualm
With him my dreams full of doubts
Where do I go, where do I stay
I am lost, as is my soul
You found me & him my heart!

we talked..

We talked, you and I
We laughed, you and I
I cried, you knew not
I smiled, you pondered

We talked, you and I
We laughed, you and I
You cried, I knew
You smiled, I wondered

We talked, you and I…

shadows...of you and I

I love it when I sit in the shadows of the moon
Thinking of you, thinking of me
I love it when I bathe in the cool spring rain
Thinking of days, days gone by
I love it when I am dreaming
Dreaming of you, dreaming of me
I love it when I rouse looking at you
Smiling at you, smiling at me
I love it when I sit in the shadows of the moon
Thinking of you, thinking of me!

Clouds...

You can tell I was bored on our drive to Milwaukee or was just enthralled by the clouds that day...as always I started snapping away...& here are some of the pictures.

fate

like the waters of a raging river
time passes by never to reappear
you and i too shall pass
dust to dust ashes to ashes
we too shall disappear

measure

You on a pedestal
Him in my arms
what is it I want?
what is it I crave?
Why do I crave?
Why do I want?
You on a pedestal
Him in my arms
Can it be love?
Can it be lust?
He is love and you the lust
Him in my arms
& you on a pedestal

for you

a falling star and my wish for you
a broken heart and my tears for you
a steep climb and my hand for you
a deep ocean and my arms for you
a dark night and my eyes for you
you and I one of kind
you and I ever so blind
love's embrace our destiny
our destiny, our demise!

wasted dawn

The sky was beautiful when I woke up earlier today just before dawn. Quite unusual for me to get up that early, but I had the "dream" again...and it made me restless, not to mention Raj wasn't next to me...I can't seem to stay asleep unless he's next to me...need to work on that...even he says that's unhealthy for me...as he anticipates more nights out in the future...or what if he takes a trip to India?? Will work on that...or just opt for sleep aid? huh

Back to the beautiful dawn, the colors were so breath takingly striking that I went looking for my camera....couldn't find it! Nothing new at our household...sometimes I wonder how I can find myself! Missed a beautiful dawn...maybe tomorrow?!

While driving to work, some idiot almost side swiped me near Winneconne & Commercial...really?!!! lately I have noticed more irrational drivers in the valley than ever before...where are all these idiots coming from?
