let go of 'love'



Artist Address

 i don't know what love is,
but i see it in your face!
the special feeling,
the moment you are around;
it might be infatuation,
but what can i do about it?

 staying silent because,
it might break the bond-
of friendship we carry,
i let the winds be,
touching me and moving past.

 as someone would have said,
all you dream is not love,
and all you love,
is not a dream.

 so let it be,
the way you are.
because that is how,
you are at peace.

 while a bond remains strong,
friendship doesn't fade.
with times your emotions-
would understand,
how beautiful life is-
to let go,
of what you thought is love.

On fatherhood

The other day, I heard a conversation of two little kids talking about their fathers. One boy said to the other, “My daddy will go to Jaipur and brings lots of toys for me.” The other kid wanted to tell his friend that his dad was the best, he went on saying, “My dad will give me an ice-cream treat tonight, and he gives me a scooter ride every evening when he returns from work.” I couldn’t stop but smile, giving all my ears to their innocent and lively conversation.  They made me question the stereotypes that prevail in society regarding fathers. It’s often said, that fathers don’t go to the school on Parent Teacher Meetings and that a mother always picks the kids from the school after it gets over. Father is depicted as a carefree individual, who gives all these important tasks to his wife. Be it, the household chores or taking care of the kids, from their education to their health. Now, the question is what is the role of a father in the family? And does it end only with ea...

a dream that was, and that ended.

i was dreaming,  then i saw her face, that glittered as she saw me, it was her soul, dancing in the sea, asking me for all the love, while, i denied her, of what belonged to her. it wasn't that we didn't love, each other! but simply,  that it wasn't in my hands, i was fearful, and it wasn't, in her hands,  because she couldn't, make me understand. it was tough time in short, for the two of us. winds flashed in the meanwhile. then, out of my reverie, out of my dream, i looked at the sea. there i found the sun, gleaming back at me, with a powerful face, of consolidation, over my lost love, of which, i could only get a glimpse, in my dreams, while, i kept my glance at the sea.  gagandeep singh vaid

Granted by the Lord

You personify your dreams child, Live jolly in the ideas aligned, By your perceptions, of goodwill times, Which you live in your today's mind. Aspirations were presumed, By the time you were a child, Since then, until yesterday, You inclined your ideas, in a bind, Now, it's the real form, life of yours', makes which.. In presence of today, limed Earlier days, I asked God, why my lover; Do I have to wait, even I know how to elongate; my talent, Why not I get wings to sublime..? He said, slowly each day, whispering in line, Make the heat generate, To swallow all areas to be good at, Then rise, entertaining, The lovely people who surround you right .. Alas! I wondered if, My being silent was my plight, But salute I that mindset, Which spindled curiosity in sight, Making me less weeping, but trying.. So I waved slowly the shy tag light, And am I furnished to strike! Journeys each day, or felt are, Which each second, and fractioned time, Prepare my persona, laying super trusted...
