A boy, A girl, an engagement

Two of my friends are getting engaged. In India, love is not just between a girl and a boy, it's more.   "Boy loves Girl. Girl loves Boy. Girl's family has to love boy. Boy's family has to love girl." - Chetan Bhagat

Now both the families love each other, the engagement is going to happen.

The Girl: I have never met a person like her. Smiles all the time. Yahoo IM has this happy emoticon, it always reminds me of her face, a round face with a wide smile. Nami is that. I always wanted to make friends with her. But, she was way too younger to me and I thought she might not be comfortable to have me as her friend. Things changed, she sought me out and in no time we became good friends.

The Boy: When it comes to Boys or Men, I am pretty comfortable. Ram an adorable guy, Keeps pulling my leg, not a dull moment when he is around. What more? dashing! Guy with a dimple :) Never thought a dimple would look good on a guy until I met him. He is like the square blush smiley in Google talk. Blush as in dimple :)

Ram and Nami:  When nami broke the news, I was dumbfounded. We never had a clue, they hid their feelings for each other well. I was shell shocked when nami pinged me in im. I had an under lying doubt, could say a woman's hunch.  When I was talking to a mutual friend of ours last week,  I was asking him if these guys have something going. Except for that hunch, no concrete evidence.

Nami: I have the habit of asking wierd Qs to my best friends, through SMS. I love to ask questions without any sense, it would start light but gain speed as it progress. My own way of getting to know them better.  Half way through, I will give them an option of taking a rain check. 10 Qs at the max. Nami was the target yesterday. I found that she is more matured than me. After 15 yrs of marriage, I would still expect Sure to yield and talk to me after a quarrel, while Nami said she will sought Ram out and not waste much time. But my first question was funniest and like a fool she fell prey for it. Nami: Can I publish what the question is and your answer for it? the one about towel and the deaf servant... hee hee

Ram: Ram wants me to go for their engagement in Kerala. I'd love to be there, but am not sure. Ani, my son wants to go on a vacation during his Christmas Hols.  Let's see.  Ram looks like an younger version of my brother. Huge eyes, extending beyond the glass frame. Your eyes Ram, is every Girl's envy and your pride.

Nami and Ram: God Bless! I want you guys to be happy always! Nami, one word before I wind up, please don't hit Ram with your hands, it would hurt you.  Ram, handle Nami with care! a drop of tear from her eyes, you had it.

Congrats on your upcoming engagement! Love you guys!

Spent

Sun about to rise

Travelling with all its might
Sky yearning for the first glimpse
Of her lover rushing to her side.

As he drew nearer,
She turned a bright red
When he reached for her
She yielded, little shy.

He tossed the cloud,
She wrapped around.

Locked her in her arms,

Spent, they lay together.

Came the time
For Sun to move,
Had to say their byes
Waiting for the next morn to arrive.

Cry of Lily

Moon left behind,

A Lily that had frailed.

Gazing hungrily at the sky,

Waiting for the moon to unveil.

The Sun, Star and all the lights,

Can never coax to flower my side.

A shaft of the moon beam,

Is what would take to coerce,

The petals of mine.

Delay not! rush to me my love,

Shield me with your rays and love.

As long as I, stick to the ground,

I know, I can never unite with you.

The day will come; when no can stop me,

When I would soar the height, to reach your side.

Sun, Dew and Love anew

Dew gleamed on the blades of grass
Its deed done when the grass shone hard
Waiting for the Sun to raise its head
And suck the wetness left on the bed.

Sun rose burning with fever
His thirst grew as he rose higher.
It was then he noticed the dew;
Glistening to get herself viewed.
He scorched; his fever high
As she traced her way through high and dry.

With her every curve and her climb
He became parched
And fought for his claim.
She done with task and looked at him.
Too tired to even move an inch.

He with one final move grasped her
And took her in.
Staying sated one inside the other.
Sun and Water stayed together?

-Opposite poles attract each other

Morning wish

Let this morn bring you cheer

May all your wishes come true

Wish for me to stay next to you :)

"absence makes the heart grow fonder"?

As the train sped by

A soul kept wake

Counting the miles

That took her away.

Every furlong

Made her heart fonder;

More fonder...

The hum of the train

Seem to whisper his name

With a smile,

She strained to hear

Through the wind.

His voice beckoning

"Wait" she fussed

"Fast" he stressed

She closed her eyes

Felt his breath blowing

on her face.

Her face ablaze,

Tried to push him aside.

The more she pushed,

The more he strained.

When he caught her,

She didn't want to say "NO" anymore.

The train sped by

The miles flew

The furlong grew

Love for YOU stood,

Miles meant nothing,

Just that I had to close my eyes.

You and Me

What would I, like the most?

To write your name, on the shore.

When the tide rise,

I lay on the write.

The feel so precious.

as your name imprinted on me,

The sand rubbed raw to feel.

Let me hold you close to my heart

Want to hold you little longer.

What are you to me?

I asked my maker one day.

Hidden beneath flesh and bones

you rest inside the tattered home.

On that day when the planets slip,

And find their beloved Sun amiss

Earth will stop at its stride,

And would die on sun's demise.

Lets live these remaining days

as if its our last day

I'm piling all these sweet moments

To live on memories till I fray.
