God's own country

Kerala. I have been to kerala quite a few times and every time i come back home from my short vacation i long to have spent more time there. I took this picture when i went to kerala in june. I have these 'moments' when i totally zone out or rather zone into another world where nature unfolds her life to me. Every leaf has a story to tell and i find myself lost in thought every time.

The moment i saw this 'hole in the wall' i just knew there was something on the other side that i had to see for myself.
Beauty beyond my understanding. Thats what it is. 

Wake up Lord, within me

Wake up, Lord, i know You're within me,
I want to feel Your presence, whole and completely.
The world looks down on me, but i've got You by my side,
Under Your wings i'm prepared for life's ride.

Take me Lord, high above in life,
Teach me Lord, to live through the strife.
The light of Your presence is shining like a star,
I can now live through any danger, any scar.

When i'm being swallowed by my fears,
My Lord is fighting away my tears..
When i'm not strong enough to hold myself,
My Lord, puts me back on the right shelf.

I feel stronger by just knowing you,
Day by day, You guide me through..
I can't see where my life will lead me,
But my faith in You has set me free.

No more worries, no more misery,
I live for you Lord,yes, completely.
I thank you Lord for everything that you've given,
Yes, everything that i do, is now God-driven.

Oh, I tell you, the ride is heavenly,
With the clouds and the wind blowing approvingly.
I smile with my heart,oh, it feels so light,
I know deep within, everything's alright.

I ride with my Lord everyday,
Wake up Lord, within me, I say.

Divided thoughts..

At first i laughed at the sarcasm portrayed,
Later, at my casual acceptance of the matter i was ashamed,
Now i realise i'm not the one who's dismayed...
Who is?

Mind of an anti-reservationist-->

Why God,are we divided when we are born?
Why God, are some looked upon with scorn?

At 3, i never cared whether my friends were OBC
With open arms i would have let them come to me.

At 18, i still feel the same..
Still there seems to be a nagging pain.
With my future on the line,
How can i not stand for what's mine?
I mean,i worked for it,i made everyone proud..
But yet,i did not make it through the crowd.
I've tagged myself as a failure
I'm lost in insecurity,depression and fear.
I thought i could make it big one day,
Now all my hopes are washed away..
After my breakdown,will there be a seat reserved for me?
For the mentally unstable,physically unwell & ill emotionally?
I'm so confused & i dont have the strength to fight,
Let the government do whatever they might!
Afterall someone loses out and it might as well be me,
I'm thinking-maybe this was'nt meant to be.
I know that i've had the best education i can ever get,
I know someone else's dreams of studying are now being met.
I'll move on,having faith in my education,
I' ll learn a new task without trepidation.
All i want to say is that all this concern for the OBC
is just making it convenient for them,according to me.
I can see that my loss is someone else's gain,
I guess i'll just become stronger after all the pain
I pray that God guides me through..
One day i'll rise up and be among you..

Mind of a pro-reservationist--

At 3,i was an OBC
At 18, i still am completely
I never had the platform to shine
How can i achieve something that was'nt regarded mine?
I am tagged from day 1
Limited for no reason under the sun..
I cant believe that it has to end this way,
For some-so that i can make my day.
You have no idea how much hope you've instilled in me.
I can even see myself earning for my family..
Although i feel that stealing your dream is a crime,
I'm not going to waste a second of my time.
I promise that i 'll work harder than you ever did,
I promise to educate every OBC kid
I will make sure that my caste is not an excuse
For my kids to take advantage of, and misuse.
I know
it must have been very tough for you,
I respect your anger,i really do.
I hope we will get this resolved one day,
For that to happen all i can say
Is that you have given me a future,a life, a dream..
Both of us together can make a good team.

Everyone needs a helping hand,
Something i have learnt to understand.

Reservation for OBC?

I was reading this magazine and i came across this slogan-
I hope you know about the government reserving 27 % seats for the OBC..or more!

"Dear pro-reservationists,politicians,police...
Kabhi na kabhi you have to come to us.
We have RESERVED the bluntest knives and the thickest needles for you."

A slogan that brings out the ugliness of anger.

Fire in her eyes..

Inspired by the photograph taken by my friend sharadha

She's an angel, calling out to me,
She's your tomorrow,waiting to be..
She told me my eyes can never hide
The things that i really feel inside..

She told me life will be a blur
If you close your heart and choose to fear..
She said she's seen times of peace,
Times of compassion, love and ease.

She says those times are passing by,
The things she sees, makes her cry.
She's seeing times when there is no care,
She's seeing things she cannot bear..

She tries to hide all the abuse,
Her eyes give it away,there's nothing left to choose..
She forgets to love, she doesnt wanna cry,
She doesnt wanna just let it go by..


She's stronger than ever, she's got reason to be,
But still, you can feel her pain, her deep misery,
Through her eyes its all too plain,
Nothing can remove that deep dark stain..
She deserves a lot more than this,
She deserves a world of infinite bliss..

After all that she's been through.....
She still brings a smile when she's around you.

Life has brought fire in her eyes,
You've got to respect the fire in her eyes.

Thinking of you..

Falling asleep on an average day,
I'm reminded of you in every way...
My heart's telling me to smile,
To quit being in denial..

Of all the words that you have said,
I wanna hear you breathe instead..
I wanna see it in your eyes,
I wanna make me realise,

Love is unpredictable and meant to reveal,
All these emotions that i feel.

WORDS can heal

Inspired by a photograph taken by Akash

Your world seems to be so clear,
You seem to live in no fear,
But inside you 're so insecure..
How much more can you endure??

Life is 'nt all about covering up,
Of being afraid and shuting up.
Its not about how long you can hold on
Its about knowing how to carry on..

Sometimes you need to let yourself fall,
There could be a whole new world beneath it all..
WORDS can open up your mind
It'll reveal what you wanted to find

Then you'll see the LIGHT you never saw before
And you'll understand what you' ve been living for..
And that day you'll make your own mark
There will be no more of DARK

Everyone has a reason to live,
We' re born to love, forget and forgive.
We' re here to find our missing link
The reason for which we' ll never sink.
That something or someone will teach you to love again,
That its ok to feel the pain...

Life brings out rebellions in us,
But is it really worth all the fuss??
If you think what you're doing is wrong,
WHAT are you waiting for so long??
If you 're worried about what people will think,
Atleast do it for your missing link
'Cos you dont need to go astray
Just 'cos people dont think your way

You have a persona of your own
No one is like you, you have the first turn.
So all you have to do is uncover yourself
And take full control of your life.

Time freeze

Time goes by and by,
Familiarity touches you and i,
Behind high walls i do hide,
And with you i fail to confide.
Our paths meet just by fate,
Time stops and tends to wait,
There's a need to share, care and protect,
Soul to soul we connect,
Nothing surpasses this time freeze
When millions of seconds of time release...
Words seem to never come out,
Only you know what i'm thinking about.
At the crossroad, you look at me,
I look at you but i'm afraid to see,
Will you go left or will you go right,
Will you go forward and hold me tight...
Tell me the world with your heart beat,
Only with you i feel complete..

Devil Boss Little

This poem is about a criminal(Devil Boss Little) who was a great boss but not a leader... he made all the wrong choices.. did 'nt realise the worth of life until it was too late... we all have something t learn from this..(everything in the poem is made up and is not real in any way)-annette

Mr. Boss was firm and strong,
According to him, he did nothing wrong,
He shot some men and stabbed the rest,
Drank the night at his best,
All for fame, power and pelf,
All for money,money and self.
He was the boss of him, you and me,
But it was too late for him to see
That cops were friends of the society.
Well all is lost, even his wife,What 's the use of living a life?
They say he is promised the electric chair,
And he wonders if life was ever fair..
Where he had made the first flaw,
The first time he broke the law.
His soul never did find peace..
But victims of his crime were at last at ease.
He never was a leader, always a boss.
He made the wrong choices and all for loss.
So are you a leader or a boss?
Will you wither with time or gather like moss?
Is 'nt life for living and not for death?
For leading others out of the net?
So choose the right thing to do..
And find the right leader in you..

Nature's will

The gushing wind, the dancing seas,
The groaning earth, the gentle breeze,
The crying clouds, the dark blue mounds,
The setting sun, the beauty won,
The soaring trees, for that one piece
Of soothing ease..

But nature burns..
And beauty turns,

To misty ash, but still
It's Nature 's Will,
With a little help,From personified skill.

-annette
by personified skill i mean human skill...that is.. how man is also responsible indirectly for the destruction of nature..by deforestation, pollution.If we are good t nature and it will be good t us... enjoy nature... it has a lot t offer. There 's beauty everywhere... take a moment t realise that.

WAr and ?

this is something i came up with a year back i think.... just my thoughts

Staying awake at night i think
Of thoughts that pestered my mind all day long
Why everything always ends up in war..
Why dont people understand that its wrong??
How many deaths must we bear
To realise that there are no more lives to spare??
Surrounding each nation,each race, each life,
Why is there so much of strife?
With people dying everywhere
Why is it that people just dont care?
When will i see life so clear?
When will i hav no reason to fear?
Does God have no say in this?
How can we in the midst of war, miss
His grace and mercy, His love supreme?
His permission to fulfil our dream?
All we can do is pray for peace...
For all the hatred to slowly cease..

Showers of love..

I stretch out my arms and close my eyes,
I tilt my head towards the moonlit skies,
I feel raindrops falling down on me,
I open my eyes and that 's all i see.
Beauty personified, from heaven above,
Angels cry out showers of love.
The moment it touches me i feel alive,
I feel that this is all i need to survive..
It brings a smile on my face,
And evokes an emotion that's hard to erase.
So sublte and yet so strong,
Willing to fall down, all along.

Intoxicated

Down the dark, dark alley, i fall on my knees,
My life's zeroed to nothing, How did it suddenly cease..
I see images of long,long,long before,
Intoxication. Yeah. I'm craving for more.
I hear voices calling,it's all in a blur,
And i'm falling, falling, falling on dirt.
Got my emotions on high, but none that i can see,
It's all in my head, like it was meant to be.
The only thing alive is craving for peace..
That's my heart, and i'm begging it " please,
I feel confusion,delusion,keep me from losin,
My mind, my soul, I feel my life's on hold.
I dont want this frustrating life..
Why did i not see through all of his lies?
Look where it got me..now i realise,
That i should look twice for defying eyes."
