History Repeats Itself!

-







Standing tall...all through the history

The Minars, The Mahals, The Forts

Each embrace a story...

Each evoke an allegory



Life is nothing but a continuum

Leaving relicts in these monuments

Legacy tries to raise its voice

Ethnicity tries to make a point



We are what we are today

Because of what we were yesterday

Never forget the past...

Never forget the culture

Never forget the lost..

Never forget the heritage



Hold them close to the heart

Because....history repeats itself!

I like how this poem reaches down the page using repetition to drive home the
continuum of history. Sometimes I'd like to forget the past to forge a new future--or I'd like others to forget their past. It's not going to happen.

History does repeat itself.
That includes the mistakes we keep making... is it our way of making sure that history is repeated?

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!
