Believable Beliefs

-




What will I write?

How many I can recollect

Life wouldn’t be as it is

Without all those childhood dreams



Many beliefs…many ideas

Where there is no trace of “No”

Everything appears so simple

When life was always on go!



Wishing good luck…rolling both hands

Looking at the cranes flying in the sky



Expecting good marks in tough subject

Keeping the leaves of “Saraswathi Plant” in books



Trusting that it will turn to golden tooth

Hiding the Tooth in soil, at some secret place



Thinking that it will bring good-luck

Keeping the Peacock feathers in geometry box



Oh …how believable were those beliefs

Oh..... how beautiful were those days


Where... heart was without any thought

And…..Mind was full of heart!



 (For Poetry Jam: Magic of Childhood)



*One type of croton plant…which is locally called Saraswathi plant…

Saraswathi is The Goddess of Studies according to Hindu Mythology

I loved especially the last four lines of your poem. Yes, those beliefs were beautiful....but if we close our eyes and dream, we still can believe in the magic of childhood.

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!
