Friends

15-May-2000

The sands of time and tide,
wait for none,not you, not me,
life can be a long ride,
along the highway of destiny...

We grow older every day,
we drift apart slowly but helpless we are,
coz we do not know the way,
the way is tough and our destinations far...

Our old friends are lost along the highway,
and even as you try to catch up with yesterday,
the memories become blurred and foggy,
those crisp moments have become soggy...

Our dreams change every day,
what i have become today,
is not what i wanted to be yesterday,
what tomorrow will bring i cannot say..

so hold on firmly to those you love,
they are your real treasure trove,
years hence when you look back to see,
the minutes of your life, glad you'll be...

To discover that the people who started the journey of life with you,
Are still with you speeding along on the highway of life....

Old writings from 2000

It occurred to me that I have hardly been writing anything into this blog. I've decided to put in some stuff I wrote way back in 2000. Perhaps its time I put this up somewhere.

Philosophical - 12-Apr-2000

There's so much in this world,
that we dont have time to appreciate,
so its time we woke up and unfurled,
nature's wonders before its too late...

We spend time doing the same things everyday,
we get bored, we complain in every possible way,
that our lives lack spice and we all say,
that the fun in our lives has faded away...

Are we responsible for this sorry state of affairs,
i guess if we dont admit it we'd be liars,
so lets rediscover ourselves ,
lets do the unusual and ignore the stares...

You're great if you envy none but yourself,
but that's our greatest misfortune,
we prefer to rue what we lack,
and envy anothers good fortune...
