It all seems like yesterday… It all seems like yesterday, I was waiting for u to come, The breakfast was getting cold, And u run into canteen hair ruffled. It all seems like yesterday, We sat in the green grass, Overlooking the shining red waves, With thoughts intermingled about us. It all seems like yesterday, Pulling me through the crowd, U walked ahead holding my hand firmly, And if I slipped ur eyes searching for me. It seems like only yesterday, We waited at station with ur bags, The whistle seemed so distant but near, And ur smile mingled with tear so clear.

Silver sparkle ran down the waves, Eyelids blinked when it shone. The setting sun blushed deep, Excitement of unknown lingered for him. Sweat dripped down her brow, Streams broken by end of saree. Her fingers, palm molding flow, Eyes stealing a glance at clock. The clock sparrow came out and cooed, She checked room in quick glance. Sweet fragrance from daisies drifted in, She quivered as cold water touched her skin. White mogra crowned her black hair, Her red saree holding her in one. Crickets in orchestra drowned the sound of silence, She sat on verandah, playing with trinkets. Watched moon wane among clouds, Stars blinking & going off to sleep. The gate cracked open, Her still body waking up in smile.

Waiting.. everybody waits.. since the time of birth every human being waits. be it something. be it someone. or be it a word, be it a gesture, be it a touch, be it a smile, be it a tear drop, be it a call, be it a letter... every body waits. my day starts with waiting for the alarm to ring.[ i doubt whether this machine is prompt or not.] as soon as it rings, i put on snooze and again wait for it to scream, trrrngggg... Then i wait for newspaper man to give his best shot in throw. i wait for milk to boil up. i run to bus stop for bus and there also i have to wait. i wait to get a seat. i wait inside the running bus to reach my stop. i run to canteen to please my angry stomach, there i wait for my order. After finishing another waiting for few minutes to get bill. Phew!!! people dont want their own money or wat??? Running back if your work depends on team members and then wait.. My system network connections are not at all trustworthy.. It takes a break by itself eve
