Garden of Dreams

You can’t plan perfection.

It’s not that I hadn’t been planning, but things unfolded differently, yet for better. The place was beautiful and the company even more so

I was hoping this to be a pleasant surprise, hopefully more of pleasant than surprise. And I’m glad you took it as one. It went well with the theme of the day – “Places you’ve never been before”.

There were few surprises hidden for both of us. The restaurant’s menu was an interesting aspect of the day – despite of my best effort I think I’ve forgotten the names of the things we ordered – Florentine or something. And not to mention few known and unexpected faces.

Thank you for listening to my stories, tolerating my stupid jokes, being adventurous with the food selection and for walking – especially for walking even when your legs were hurting. Well, all in all, it was a wonderful day, made even more special with the presence of a wonderful friend.

Hope to have more of these in future. Thank you for being there.

Missing You

(found these lines in a friend’s gtalk message, written for his sweetheart on the other side of the world)

Close your eyes
Relax your body and stop breathing
… as long as you can.

Now breathe…
I miss you as much as you missed the air.

Alone

Amidst thousands of people, we all walk alone.

Awestruck

To Chhuchi,
I had promised you that I’d write a song about how good you looked yesterday… So here it goes…

Glittering lights on orange glow,
Time seemed to move ever so slow.

Your elegant walk with jubilant smile,
Took my breath away for a while.

Shy eyes on a charming face,
My heart was lost without a trace.

And to walk by your side, couldn’t believe my luck,
I am — forever — awestruck!!!

Thanks for looking sooooooooooooo beautiful

At First Sight

Looking at you,
Holding my breath,
For once in my life,
I’m scared to death.

That look in your eyes,
Watching you smile,
My head starts to spin,
I couldn’t talk for a while.

The night turned to day,
Or it’s the other way,
Couldn’t figure it out,
I’m in all sorts of doubt.

Will I see you again,
Or would I live with this pain,
You coming into my life,
This couldn’t be just in vain.

So rest assured babe,
While you’re looking so fine,
That I am no less,
And ya,… you will be mine

(The first stanza is from the song “First Time” by Lifehouse.)
