Thank you Mother-in-law!!

Words fall short when it comes to my Mother-in-law. She is not typical Saas-Bahu, daily soap type saas. She is way different from the typical Saas image. 

This poem is my gratitude towards her for giving her son the values, which cannot be less admired.
I admired her more after becoming mother of a cute little boy.
I wish to become like her; wish to up bring my son the same way she did for my husband..

Every morning, seeing your son pre-plan,
And get ready before our son’s day has begun,
I feel like thanking you, Mom-in-law,
For making him such a responsible man.

He changes the nappy,
Helps me with the chores, yet looking so zappy.
Thank you Mom-in-Law,
For teaching him how to keep a woman happy.

Back from work extremely tired,
Yet helps me as well as plays with our son till he is perspired.
Thank you Mom-in-Law,
For giving him the values, which cannot be less admired.

Your Son is my favourite asset,
And somehow, I shall never forget,
To You, How much I owe
Who taught him how to grow

You trained your son to look above,
You made him the Man I can love,
And so I think of you Today,
And with a thankful heart, this is all I can say

Little Miracle on the way !!

Giving birth to a new life is a miracle in itself and when I came to know that I am pregnant; I was so happy as well as cautious. I have always been very carefree and adventurous but holding a tiny life in myself used to scare me. 

My husband was great support for me, it was because of him I sail through my pregnancy smoothly. He walked extra miles to make me comfortable and happy. Its because of his extra pampering I put on lots of weight during my pregnancy; still working hard to shed down those extra kilos...

I wrote this poem during my pregnancy to describe my feelings..

Kuch dino se duniya meri badali si lagti hai
Thodi tedi-medi, thodi haseen lagti hai

Kabhi lagti baichaini si, to kabhi bahara lagti hai
Kabhi lagti khamoshi si, to kabhi gudgudi si lagti hai

Bhuli apni befeekriyaan, sambhalne lagi hu
Sab nakhare apne chhod,  roz tahalne lagi hu

Apne se pahle, kisi aur ke lie sochne lagi hu
Har kadam rakhne se pahle sochne lagi hu

Aath salo ka rishta aur bhi gahra lagta hai
Janme ho ek dusre ke lie aisa humko lagta hai

Nanhi si ek jaan, duniya me aane ko bekaraar lagti hai
Kuch dino se duniya meri badali si lagti hai

Little Miracle - Prayan

We are blessed with a cute little angel in July this year. We call him "Prayan".
I never knew that I can love someone without even seeing , but yes I loved him even before he was born. His sparkling little eyes has mesmerised me completely and filled my life with happiness.

Believe in Dreams, they do come true
Ours came true Dressed in Blue ......

मेरी छोटी सी बगिया में खिली एक कली है;
जिसकी खुशबु से महकी हर एक गली है.

मेरा प्यारा सा निकुंज भी खिल गया;
जब इस कली को एक नया रूप मिल गया.

गूंजती किलकारियां कुछ किस्सा नया कहती है
टिमटिमाती आँखे दुनिया निहारती रहती है

नन्हें हाथों का मेरी उंगली पकड़ना सपना सा लगता है
इस नन्हीं सी जान से रिश्ता सदियों पुराना लगता है

इसकी मधुर मुस्कान पे दिल हारने को मन करता है;
अब तो पल भर भी दूर जाने से मन डरता है.

इंद्रधनुष से भी सुहावने इसके रंग लगते है;
प्रयन के आने के बाद पल और लुभावने लगते है.

Only because, I have you !!

Sharing my fantasies and fears

My happiness and my tears

Sharing gossip and fun

And all the things that I have done

Sharing my troubles and delights

Even after all our fights

Sharing thoughts about my road blocks

Over our lengthy talks

Leaves me without a single worry

Only because, I have a wonderful hubby

Dreams fulfilled today..!!

Cherished the memories that brought us to this day,

For yesterday, was just a dream, a wish to contemplate.

A fantasy where in my mind, a fleeting glimpse I'd see ...

A vision of the true desires I longed for endlessly.

And if I had one wish today, a simple wish t'would be ...

Is that the love we feel this moment, Lasts eternally.

Reality has merged now as you stand here by my side;

And as I join your hand in mine, my heart does fill with pride.

For as I pledge my love to you, I see in many ways,

Reflections of my love for you are mirrored in your gaze.

But more than this, I vow to you, My wishes yet to come ...

Tomorrow's dreams and fantasies, this day that we are one.

Tomorrow's an adventure that we'll share together now;

Our future's intertwined forever, through this holy vow.

I promise to remember In the future years and days,

The love I feel for you this moment ..... Dreams fulfilled today.

एक साल और बीत गया, कुछ यादें हसीं, कुछ दर्द दे गया !!

एक साल और बीत गया…

कुछ यादें हसीं, कुछ दर्द दे गया 

कुछ  बातें  मीठी   सी , और  कुछ  सबक  दे  गया ..

जब जब दर्द का बादल छाया,
जब जब गम का साया लहराया
तब मेरा दिल थोड़ा घबराया,
तब तब हाथों में तुम्हारा हाथ पाया

मेरे दिल की किताब में, मैंने तुझे सजाया
मेरी हर याद में, मैंने तुझको बसाया
मेरी हर फ़रियाद में, बस तेरा नाम आया
दिन में रात में, बस तेरा ख्याल आया


धुप में बरसात में, सामने तुझे पाया
ख़ुशी में गम में,तूने साथ निभाया
एक दूजे के लिए, अपने आप को ढलाया
वक़्त के साथ जिसने प्यार को और बढ़ाया


कुछ नए रिश्तो ने आकार लिए,
जन्मों की प्रीत साकार हुई
बिदाई की रीत है ऐसी,
ये सोच के ही आँखे नम बार-बार हुई


वो फिट होने का जूनून सर चढ़ के बोलना,
जिम में जाके दिन रात दौड़ना,
जंक फ़ूड देखके अपने आप को बोलना,
फिट होने तक मन को नहीं है डोलना


समुंदर का किनारा और,
मखमली रेत का फिसलना
नीले पानी का शोर,
और भीगे पैरों का थिरकना

एक साल और बीत गया…
कुछ यादें हसीं, कुछ दर्द दे गया
कुछ  बातें  मीठी   सी , और  कुछ  सबक  दे  गया ..


अपनों से दूर होने का अहसास, बहुत्त कुछ सीखा गया,
ये साल अपनों को  और करीब ला गया...

 

Aashiyana !!

We recently moved into our dream home. My husband and I are too much attached to our new home; we devoted our time and energy to make our nest come into shape and we are happy that it turned out to exactly same as we dreamed of.

We named our home "Aashiyana". This poem is a small gesture of love towards our home :)

Mila do panchhiyo ko thikana,

Jab banaa unka "Aashiyana"...

Pyaar ke tinko se buna ek Sapnaa,

Ek Sundar sajeela ghar ho apna...

Pyaar ki chhat aur vishwas ki ho deeware,

sapno ke indradhanushi rang jinko sawaare...

Sarsaraati hawa ho aur ho halke se hindole,

Kho ke jisme panchhi sa man dole..

Yaadon se bhara ho ghar ka har kona,

Muskurate chehro se chamke gharonda salona..

Khushiyo se roshan ho aane Wala kal,

Aur bado ka jisme aashish ho har  pal...
