The Town is Painted Red The town is painted Red, There are Sales all around, Salesmen wearing Red T-shirts  And sales girls wearing Red Lipsticks,  Guide the customers to spend more,  to be Greedy ,  to buy more, for the simple logic:  spend more,  save more. Everything is on Sale, just bread costs the same, for which we earn and save,  save and  earn . In the streets bustling with people On the occasion of sale,  A woman sits in the City  Center Singing a sad song with a very sad tone. Hears like a song of longing ,  a song of times past, a song of happiness bygone . Like the song of the solitary reaper, it's too in an alien language. I hurry up past her  each time, for the fear her sadness would engulf me... Then I won't be able to buy anything... Hence, won't be able to save anything!

WONDER I wonder at the wonder of this child,  who plays with bubbles all around,  wondering where they came from,  when the source is just at hand.   I wonder if we were just the same ,  in that age of innocence,  when pebbles were more precious than stones,  when sketches more precious than notes.  In that age it seems  were inherent all the joys of life.  When love was not conditional,  When we were away from toils of life.

Like a Leaf Be like a leaf, Leave everything That has passed. What was Said, What was Did. Evaluate- Be honest to your own self. Be like a leaf That travels on Troubled waters of Swollen river Till the time It can keep its balance. Keep it Maintain it Strive for it Keep on. Don't let yourself drown for some silly mistake. For once a leaf drowns it can never resurface.

Extrapolate The ocean churns And heart burns leaving scars on the face. It looses lustre,  glamour and shine Burns like Pyre till it dies. Cannot we extrapolate?  Learn from others' lives Or our very own mistakes. Thus taking clues from the past Make arrangements To light the future. Oh! Come dear heart Let me listen to you, Let us spend some time together. Till now We have never really been together! Today let me hear Why you burn And Why does the ocean churn?

Rainbows Are for Real When it Rains and the Sun shines i know Rainbows are for real . When the world is at War and Soldiers come home i know Rainbows are for real . When i am sad and you come home i know Rainbows are for real . It takes a Life Time to Love with all Heart When it comes back i know Rainbows are for real .

The Other Side of the Globe You are there  Just a click away Watching the same channel  as I am. Just now  Either you will call me or I will. And we would discuss as usual What is done since morning What is to be done in the rest of the day. How I wish We were together sitting and chatting over a cup of tea. But, then I realize Neither would you call me  nor would I for you now are  on the other side of the globe.
