I miss you!

I miss you baby, I miss you so much
I miss the moments with you
The all those cherished moments with you
Hiding myself in the warmth of your hug
I was blessed with your love
I miss you baby, I miss you so much

The flat and clean roads we walked
The clean and flowing water we observed
The sky touching towers gave us the wow view
Which we observed together
I miss those all moments baby, and
I miss you, miss you so much

The calmness around and the cleanliness
My ears and eyes still long for that
The greenery and the magic in the air
My body and soul still die for that
The parks those we visited around and the flowers
We clicked at every intersection
That reminds me-you-my baby
And I miss you so much

The brave soldiers to whom we saluted
The great warriors to whom we bestowed our respect
And moved around in that machine
To see the lakes, to touch the water
To touch you
I miss those entire moments baby
I miss you!!!!

Oh ! that beautifully dirty lake

The still lake next to my house
with stagnant and dirty water
very few fishes jumping in and out
filled with lichen and algae
snakes moving around
looks beautifully dirty
looks so beautiful to me


The same lake was like a lake
some twenty years ago
when I was a child, a small kid
sitting on the stones/rocks near it
on the background of setting sun
what I did not do with her
near that beautifully dirty lake

It was not allowed to go near that lake
some twenty years ago
with the fear that I may fall inside
or a monster may grab and take me inside
the prohibition was there,
so there was zeal
to hide from my mom’s eyes
and go and hide behind that rocks on the
shore of that beautiful lake

I hid myself behind the rock, from the eyes of my mom
I hid my face under her arms, on her chest
Kid ! I was and so she was!
but, we felt matured and adult
and what we did not do!
near the beach of that beautiful lake
so, I find today
the lake is beautifully dirty

I can just imagine her touch
her soft kisses, her soft love
while I see this lake alone
dying with time
wish I get that touch again
on the shore of this beautifully dirty lake
behind those colossal rocks
which there were there, not today !
on the backdrop of setting sun

I love her and that beautifully dirty lake!!!!

Random Thoughts

I am walking down a straight road

alone

A straight road with minor curves

little twists and some more turns but

a staright road

No destiny of my own

I owe my destiny to the road wherever it takes me

I do not like to go to unknown places

Therefore, walking a straight lane/road with 

minor curves, minor turns

There is no fixed place to be reached

No time scheduled to reach anywhere

I am not racing, nor competing with anyone

I can maintain my own pace

racing with myself

alone in a straight road with minor curves

little turns here and there

I can see the end of the road after long walks

but no destiny on sight

I can see still and stagnant road

never gets carried away with my constant pace

sleeps silently beneath my foot

The road has been used for years

No complain of its own against anyone

may be straight road weeps sliently

being raped for years by humna foot

but no complain with me

just allows me to walk on these straight roads

straight roads with minor turns

I keep on walking with no end in sight

Work sucks but I do not mind!!!!

Hey Dude!

Wat's up man?......Vineet says, a new friend. I have seen him often in the office corridor, but had never spoken with him. He speaks with me yesterday in loo. I said, Hey Man. I am good. how r u? He says, fine.........he asked me, is there work till late night? It was about six in the evening. I said not that much but one assignment is still there. And it was saturday as well which is supposed to be an off day but I was in office from morning to evening. I reciprocated him and his answer is they (He and all people in his service line-Transaction Advisory Services) treat every saturday as a working day. I understood.

So, U work in direct or indirect? "I am in Indirect tax", was my reply. So, U work with R? again another question. He was asking about my manager. I answered no, I am with BA, my manager's name.

HUh....
Okay, So, what are you? an intern or associate? His question was little demeaning n i think by my look on face and youthness, either he underestimated me/underrated me or deleberately asked this question. or May be he did not ask the question deliberately......it was just his way of asking to know about me.

I said, "I am a Consultant". Good, he said. So, When did you qualify? His intention was to ask when did i become a 'Chartered Accountant'? I said, I am a lawyer, a B.A;L.L.B (Hons.)'.

As where I work is a firm by/for CAs, most of them think that I am a CA. n now, my turn to throw him flurry of questions. n the same questions- like in which service line you work? what's ur qualification? how long u are here? how long u are here in this city? n this and that- all in Wh or yes/no question form.

He answered all, of course, as i said above, that he works in TAS and an MBA. Rest of the answers are immeterial now.

After this initial introductory session, now, questions about real work that we do. N he is there to ask another question, "How is work?"

I looked at him, and slowly stared at him, maintaining silence. He waited for my answer. and finally after a little longer pause, I answered, "It sucks."

and again a silence, n then, I add, "But, I do not mind."

hahahha.......hehehe.........laughter from both sides. R not you enjoying it? another question there.

No, absolutely not, was my staright forward answer. I look at him n he is looking at me, is in a real difficulty whether to smile or not. He is in his half smile, and I futher add his difficulty by saying " But, I am getting used to it." I flash a broad smile and he understand that it's moment to smile.

Yes, of course. All moments in life are fpor smile. We should be cheerfull all the time should be able to laugh at our failures and adversity so that stresses can be put at bay. 

Of course, smiling and cheering up life does not mean that you should not take work seriously. In fact, we should always be serious in life at work but tension and pressure because of work should not be there. Anyway, after this initial on and off of laughter and smile, he asked me general nature of work. Then, I started explaining him that I am replying a show cause notice where stakes are very high. Only the service tax demanded by government is more than 100 Carores and I gave some gyan about my kind of work. N we headed to our respective service line compartments.

He headed to west and I headed to east to be more serious in work and to get more 'used to' of it.
