He is anguished
And he is going through the pain
He needs recuperation
To get back in hale

He is strapping
But his signs fade
As he turns around
He should find people who care

His nights are caught
In your mercy
And the pain he has
Should be removed with your courtesy

Dear God! Listen to my prayers
As you do with all your children
Help him convalesce
As he sleeps in his den

For my friend and your child
Deserves the best of all
With love when you guide
His pain should subside every time you call

THE DREAM


I don’t know if dreams have any real connotation about one’s life. It is said that dreams unify the mind, body and soul. Dreams are mysterious and fascinating; they scare, amaze, give strength and break you down in pieces and what not. My confrontation with dreams is on every nap I take. In years, I haven’t seen a happy dream. I sometimes wish that it’s fine if I don’t have a joyful dream, but I should be spared from the nightmares. At times I run and go through such frightful torments in dream that I find myself awake as restless and exhausted as possible.

I have some recurring dreams too where I am either under water fighting for a survival, or some planes landing at my roof or some meteorites or similar things approaching me. I fear to sleep because there are moments during a dream that though I realize that it’s just a dream and if I open my eyes things would be fine, I find myself helpless and unable to open my eyes and let go the dream. It’s most likely a powerful thing which holds me tight and I can’t fight back. I also encountered my late grandfather a couple of times or more, he talks to me and says that he is around. I don’t understand if there is any meaning behind such dreams, if there is a signal or if I can interpret something by occurrence and reoccurrence of similar dreams.

Amidst all these tiring dreams I have seen you thrice so far in past few months, technically twice, because once it was only your voice which I heard. But whatever the case, I felt the magic when I saw you in my dream today. As usual the start of my dream was with running and trying to save myself from some random danger and then I enter a room where it’s only you and me. I stop and we smile at each other, my previous dream is over, there is nothing from which I am trying to save myself, I am not running. I look at you and you look at me and we don’t talk, we are very close to each other, we just smile and then we smile more and more…few minutes pass by and you say you are off to play football. We come out and you are gone, it’s the crowd and I am finding a place for me to sit. I don’t see you again and my dream is over as I wake up.

I am clueless what it signifies, or may be it doesn’t any, but if you are the only one who can bring a smile on my face and make me forget about all my worries, I won’t fear to dream. Whatever it is but I smiled in my dream after ages and I thank you for this. I want to sleep and dream, dream about you and me. 

Father and Daughter



“Honey, it’s already late, where is Sweety? She is not yet back home...”

“Oh, don’t worry, she must be out there playing with her new friends, she met last month…She was praising them a lot”

“One Month???”

“Yes, why are you surprised?”

“Because, she didn’t mention to me that she got new friends…”

“Common, that’s because you might not remember as you are always busy with your office work...”

“May be, but strange it is…I think I must go and look where she is”

There goes worried father to search his daughter who hasn’t returned home on time. He looks for her everywhere but just fails to find her. By every passing minute he is getting anxious. He is almost panicking and asks few people to help him tell if they have seen his daughter.

He describes “she is 5 year old, red frock, fair….short hair….golden shoes...”
“No, sir”

“Hey kid, you saw Sweety, this tall, fair, she is in frock…”

“No, uncle”

“Where’s my daughter?? Oh, someone tell me” he screams…

Wondering about her where-about he crosses by a field…nearby is a well…oh he is relaxed to see Sweety there, she looks very happy and playing …

“Sweetyy!!!!!, child, oh you are here”

“Hey daddy, come here, I will show you my friends…”

“Oh Dear, how did you come here, who got you here”

“Daddy, I come here every day with my friends”

“Where are your friends?”

“There down….”

Daddy is awestruck…there is only a deep well; one can’t see anything other than dark if bent down to see in it…

“Wait child don’t go down…”

“Daddy, common, you also come, its really nice place….”

Dad is worried like never before…

“No, baby, come lets go home”

He picks her up in his arms and starts to leave the place…She silently comes in his arms and sleeps…daddy is worried and walking away from the place…and suddenly he hears a sound…alarm ….5’0 clock in the morning…”oh, what dream was it” …daddy runs to Sweety’s room…finds his princess in sound sleep…and he takes a deep breath.
