Jai Ho....Hyderabad!

-

















Standing aloof in the midst of city

I become the witness on duty



Not a day…not a month

Years together I am paying this levy



The glorious Golconda Fort

The ever charming Charminar

The calm and quite...Qutub Shahi Tombs

The enchanting Hussain Sagar Lake



Still stand tall...amidst the chaos

Still make impact…with their eternal charm



New multiplexes…new habitats

Paradise Biriyani…Madina Haleem

Number of new parks…Flock of love birds

Everything seems perfect

With the people and places



As city grow… I remain in solitude

Rock solid…on Gibraltar rock

In my disposition of Gautama Buddha!   



(For Poetry Jam : Where You're At) 



(Come...See...and I am Sure...You will definitely love The City...Hyderabad, where I stay)

Sounds like you have witnessed many changes, yet some things remain the same, steadfast in a "charming, enchanting chaos".

Hyderabad! That's very exotic for us here Downunder and it was refreshing to read your poem and to be prompted and read more about your city. I enjoyed this.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

-
Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
