It seems..its gonna rain tonite..

It seems..its gonna rain tonite..
Flashin memories gushin thru d frames..
Some of ‘em walk beside
…some..just in names..
softly a stroke of wind fills in d space
to find d moonlight quietly takin its place
A streak of light again blindfolds my sight..
It seems..its gonna rain tonite..

Runnin thru d distant meadows
n crossin every sea
fightin its way wid d shadows
a pure white light, I see..

gazin thru d open fields
n flyin across d mountains
a faint memory dat builds
of every dream dat d heart detains

walkin on d shore
d waves dat touched..
d feet once drenched..
leavin d footprints on d sands
on d times dat still stands
somewhere..sometime..
yet d heart does wat is right..
It seems..its gonna rain tonight..

keep walkin till d road ends
till d sun descends
till d moon gives it out
to d sparkling new day
..to every smile dat came my way..
to d horizon dat never fades
to d light on d path, dat heads
till d truth.. dat is forever right…
it seems..its gonna rain tonight…

Slumblog million-air:

n..wat a mornin it was today..see d oscars live..curiously waitin for d announcements..d red carpet, d gala show n d 'golden man' is legendary worth a quickie..hv always been a spectator to sch shows n d extravaganza dat is attached to it. bt this time it was different..it was an impatient wait to see an indian grab it..most of d times and mostly always;), i am unaware of d nominations n d hidden competition... it was all abat indian music and d maestro reachin out to d western worl' n show 'em d power of music.. it was a proud feelin to see rehman performin an indian song on such a global platform full of gliterratti n d whose-who in d busines...n d music screams in d kodak theatre..."Jai Hoo..." it was mesmerisin...it was like fillin each and every nook n corner of d worl' wid d magical spirit of d song and d fusion (pst: read diffusion)...
it was evident dat hes gonna make it..n India arrives again on a global forum wid a bang!!

all said and done...d proud feelin was mixed wid sm innate masala...we feel proud whenevr any one amongst us hits dat jackpot, bt d moment i switched d idiot box off,...i was back to d real worl' out of d reel one..

i leave for my wrk n on d way i see people un-unnerved abt makin a difference! we all sail in d same boat..dat is so 'used to' doin d same thing.s.... breakin d rules at d traffic junction.. tryin to prove dat i hav freedom..smtimes we forget to realise dat we r exploitin it... we dont dare to break out from wat we r 'used to' but...we dont forget to disregard so many things..to our environment...to our urban spaces...to our own world' in our own 'special' way..;)

n then it was a great feelin to see anil kapur stand up in d audience smartly dressed wid a bow...n a black suit...n applaud d achievement of 'an indian'...we all gather energy to cheer n feel proud in our own 'special' way...n then i see someone spit on d freshly built road...and d entire hall was applaudin to d tunes of 'an indian'...who jus broke d traffic rules n successfully escaped d dumb policemen (whose duty it is- and not others') to celebrate d act of an indian standin on a global forum wid two shinin golden statuette...one for d indian who jus managed to paint d road 'red' wid hs artistic spit...n d other for d one who broke d rule...

theres so much indifference in makin a difference..isnt it? n still tonite i'll sleep wid these two 'Indians' in my heart..untill d nex mornin...
