my bangalore....

i walk, a mile and beyond, without knowing my destination. the closeness to nature at my institute is so wonderfully refreshing, with the breeze flowin in all directions.. and the leaves, yellow and dry, swaying around before they land gracefully onto land.... whoa! i jus love this place.... so beautiful, so serene... and so silent..... it reminds me of our old bangalore, which was so wonderful to live in, with hardly a vehicle seen for minutes.... the city was a paradise until all this software-related industry creeped in and stole away the charm of the city in the name of growth!!! growth huh... has come to bangalore and its original residents at a very costly price... this is definitely not, what most sensible bangaloreans ever wanted... i only wished that the people in power gave it a good thought before hurtling this wonderful city into what it has become now.... gone are the days of my childhood when we cycled carelessly on the roads of malleshwaram, played cricket over em on sundays and holidays.... hmmmm.... i miss my city, the way it was... and i literally hate the way it has been turned into now.... i only hope, she doesnt collapse under all this stress she's being put through.... love you my bangalore! love you lots!!

Where art thou??

Where art thou? so near and yet so far!
Where art thou? Think of it every hour.
Like a lightening in the sky, you've come and gone,
Where art thou? Disappeared like a fading song??

Days its been, since I've even had a glimpse,
Have missed your presence, ever since!
No clue I've found, for this sudden distance,
Where art thou? The thought passes by every instance.

Tis just a hope I live by, everyday,
That things will turn around, at least today!
Think about the last walk we had, one evening,
And I just look into the distance, sighing.....

Speak up Am**ha, please quit your silence,
Talk to me, erase this growing distance!!
This confusion........., its irritating me,

Where art thou? So far away from me??

into thoughts as usual..

well... i dwell a lot in thoughts than the real world sometimes, and it so happens that i jus dont realize whats happening around me... this was one occasion in Nandi, when i was jus pondering about something and my friends didnt miss the chance for the snap...
