Valentine in love

Alone at home
Nothing to do and I am bored
Come back home soon
I’ve been waiting all day…
Come and take me in your arms
Or kiss me, if you may
As midnight strikes, we’ll be together
And celebrate Valentine’s Day!

It’s been long since you’re gone
And I am just killing time just like that,
Talking to friends – old and new
Rushing through time on chat.

I’ve no plans for tomorrow
And I’m already feeling so blue,
I know you’d not say nothing
But I leave it again, to you.

Let’s plan a day, together
I’d cook and be good, if you say
We’ll do all the things that you want
And celebrate our Valentine’s day.

Let this be another day in life
When, we fall in love again
We’ll prove to this ignorant world
Love is immortal and no feign.

My love for you will always be there
Less than tomorrow, more than yesterday,
I promise again, my beloved wife
I will love you forever and a day!

Valentine's day Millionaire

MORE ORANGEE was just one answer away from remaining a single this valentine's day.
What did he do?

A:He made a Phone call
B:He sent a SMS
C:He arranged a zuzamen
D:He preferred to stay single


He had a million of reasons to stay single,yet had a million of reasons to convince his mind that she was the one.Time was running out,Cupid had just 6 hours to help him out before going back to his 364 days of vacation.He had almost everything to help him make his day.Money,phone,car and a body that was ready to release all the necessary hormone that would give cupid one more reason to rejoice in his vacation.

More assessed his position.He replayed all the conversations that happened a few days back.
"Why should I be bothered about where the hell u are going"
"I dont want to talk"
"I dont know whats wrong with me"
"I have no speech,I am speechless"
"Nothing's changed......infact u have changed"
These's were the words that were going on this mind again and again.These words were the sole reason for his confusion.Still he was just one answer away from remaining a single this valentine's day.He was just one answer away from winning a million of reason to find happiness with the one.

He wondered what will be the outcome if the answer is a "NO".
He weighed his options and finally after a intense war of thought he went for option D.
He had to go for it he thought.He could find a million more reason to stay happy the way he was.
He went back to his gang of friends and said "Ya lets go! I am done"

"Done? what happened?" asked his friend
More replied "I think u know what I mean"




Hours later,More thought whether what he did was wrong or correct?
He glanced at his watch,he still had a few more moments for the special day to end.It was though...Its now or never he thought.He still didnt know what he was doing.HE had no idea about what he wants.He was wasting precious time...He finally decided to flow along with the tie of the confused situation.He dialed the number and waited for a voice....

She:hello...
More: Ya.. its me More...
She:Hmmm...
More:What's the time is it on yr watch?
She:Its 0000hrs.....
More:Wow....lucky me....I didnt expect this level of presicion....
Anyways...Wish u a very happy birthday..God bless u with loads of happiness...
She:Thank u so much....
She:Thats it???
More:hmm.....Ya...
She:So thats all.????
More:Why? were u expecting something else?
She:Hmm..no....yes i was....
More:

More: what?
She: What abt my gift??

She: I havent decided yet...I inform u tommorrow...talk to u later....i have some calls on waiting to attend..
More:Ya sure...good night,sweet dreams...happy birthday again..

So thats it...The day ended and when he assesed it he still found a million reasons to be happy
about his life,no matter he was single or committed...

Be My Valentine

The boy proposes:

I'll conquer the universe at your slightest wish
and drizzle the shimmering stars on you.
I'll pluck the cresented moon studded in the sky
and adorn it as a brooch on your gown.

Spending my lifetime by your side,
I'll give all the time in the world to you.
You will be my utmost importance.
I'll abandon you for not even a moment.

Covering the thorns in your path by my palm,
I'll bear the pricking pain for your sake.
Protecting you at your every trodden step,
I'll lay down your path with rosy petals.

With this love that bountifully ebbs from my heart,
I'll take a lifetime to express it.
Is this a reson enough,that I want to be with you?
I hope you'll accept my love. Be my valentine.

The girl replies:

I don't need stars, they fade at dawn.
I don't need the moon, it wanes after a fortnight.
I see the twinkle of the stars in your caring eyes.
I see a cresent moon, in the curve of your smiling lips.

I need just a speck of grain, in the sands of your time.
I don't care for all the time in the world.
I'll give you your space, I'll give you your time.
You can have your own priorities, I won't hinder.

The thorns have to pierce my heart first
before they prick your protecting hand.
If you stand by me at my every step,
I can endure every thorn with pleasure.

Love me for no reason.
Love me on no condition.
If unconditional love is what you can reciprocate,
then I am your valentine.

This time

The following is the translated version of Prasoon Joshi's poem on the Mumbai attacks.

THIS TIME

When the child comes to me with her wish,
I won't try to please her, this time.
Will allow her anxiety to continue.

When I'll see faces writhing in pain,
I won't sing to soothe them, this time.
Will allow the pain to penetrate, deep within.

I'll neither apply any cream, nor the cotton swab,
Nor will I tell you to close your eyes and look the other way,
And apply any lotion.
Will allow everybody to see the wounds.

When I'll see chaos, and desperation,
I won't run to help, this time.
Will allow the chaos to continue, until it can.

I won't serve my duty, won't take up weapons,
I won't make a try to start over,
I won't be an example of a dutiful person,
I won't make life return to normalcy, this time.
Will allow it to be dragged into the mud, along different roads,
Will not allow the blood on the walls to dry,
Will make it stronger than the spit of paan, this time.

I want to see,
The wounds up close, this time.
For a longer time.
Some decisions,
And then, the hopes,
Will have to start from somewhere.
This is what I decided, this time.

Translated, from Prasoon Joshi.

Paraphrase: The meaning of the poem is self explanatory. Although it might appear defeatist in sentiment, what with the poet saying that he won't do anything to uplift the society this time, in reality his view might be to allow the society to realize its shortcomings by itself without any aid. He wants us to realize our mistakes on our own, without his help, make corrections, and then move on.

The original, for comparison.

Is baar jab woh choti si bachchi mere paas apni kharonch le kar aayegi
Main usey phoo phoo kar nahin behlaoonga
Panapney doonga uski tees ko
Is baar nahin

Is baar jab main chehron par dard likha dekhoonga
Nahin gaoonga geet peeda bhula dene wale
Dard ko risney doonga,utarney doonga andar gehrey
Is baar nahin

Is baar main na marham lagaoonga
Na hi uthaoonga rui ke phahey
Aur na hi kahoonga ki tum aankein band karlo,gardan udhar kar lo main dawa lagata hoon
Dekhney doonga sabko hum sabko khuley nangey ghaav
Is baar nahin

Is baar jab uljhaney dekhoonga,chatpatahat dekhoonga
Nahin daudoonga uljhee door lapetney
Uljhaney doonga jab tak ulajh sake
Is baar nahin

Is baar karm ka hawala de kar nahin uthaoonga auzaar
Nahin karoonga phir se ek nayee shuruaat
Nahin banoonga misaal ek karmyogi ki
Nahin aaney doonga zindagi ko aasani se patri par
Utarney doonga usey keechad main,tedhey medhey raston pe
Nahin sookhney doonga deewaron par laga khoon
Halka nahin padney doonga uska rang
Is baar nahin banney doonga usey itna laachaar
Ki paan ki peek aur khoon ka fark hi khatm ho jaye
Is baar nahin

Is baar ghawon ko dekhna hai
Gaur se
Thoda lambe wakt tak
Kuch faisley
Aur uskey baad hausley
Kahin toh shuruat karni hi hogi
Is baar yahi tay kiya hai

... Prasoon Joshi
