To the most amazing guy I will ever know

They say loving someone and not expressing it, is like wrapping a gift but not giving it. So consider this fair warning and brace yourself for the onslaught…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love that you are one of the kindest persons I have ever known

I love that you stick to your principles no matter how tough it can get

I love how honest and sincere you are when engaging with others

I love that you are the most courageous person I will ever know

I love the way you work selflessly and tirelessly for the good of this land

I love that you have fought wars, seen the worst things one could possibly see and are yet so optimistic about everything around you  

I love that you work so hard and are so very passionate about everything you do

I love that you are caring and genuinely concerned about the people around you

I love that you rarely lose your temper (all instances of you cussing have been erased from my memory – you are American after all!)

I love the way you smile your dashing smile – it makes me crazy (not as crazy as Shah Rukh Khan’s smile drives me, but it drives me crazy nevertheless)

I love that you keep your word (well, most of the times that you manage to)

I love that you love spicy Indian food (I can’t fathom how or why you love it, but I do love that you do)

I love that you have Italian roots (what’s not to love about smokin hot American-Italian guys ;-))

I love that you like the colors red, blue and white (here’s a secret: they are my favorite too)

I love the way you kiss me (or atleast used to) when I least expect it

I love that you love having eggs for breakfast (if you remember, I once told you that I love them too)

I love the way you bite into a green chilli and call it as sweet as vanilla ice-cream

I love the way a smile is starting to play across your lips as you read this childish rant of mine

I love that you are brilliant, intelligent and extraordinary yet so simple, humble and unassuming

I love that you are like the sun – radiating warmth, hope and happiness

I love that you make me want to be a better person

I love how you’ve brought so much joy into my life just by being the way you are

I love you - thank you for being you.

Round and round we go

Round and round we go
With the faces we hide
With the faces we show.
With memories of pain
With memories of bliss
Cherishing the opportunities taken
Regretting those missed.
Round and round we go
With the faces we hide
And the faces we show.

Silence is not always golden

Silence is a beautiful thing.
It speaks volumes,
it gives voice to the unsaid.
And bridges the space between
two individuals gracefully.
But sometimes there are words
that have to be spoken,
Spoken sooner than later.
Words that fill up the void
More beautifully than silence ever can.
Sometimes you have to
give words a chance.
For silence is not always golden.

Fools Galore

He waits and waits
And waits some more
For Her to look his way
To be His some day
To be His with her heart and soul
While She waits and waits
And waits some more
For that Other
Who was part of her past
Who won't be part of her future
Still shedding many a precious tear
For that coward who doesn't deserve Her
While that Other waits and waits
And waits some more
To forget those times
Those stories, those lies
Those empty promises
And those questioning eyes
And so they wait and wait
And wait some more
Each of them a fool
A fool bigger than the other
Who would have thought
It would turn out like this
But it is what it is
It is fools galore.

It smiles, it sneers,

It wipes off those tears,

And yet it succeeds to make you cry.

It whispers, it shouts,

It regales and it pouts,

It enlivens the years that sped by.

It howls in your ears,

It threatens and it cheers,

It serenades you high and low.

It ensnares you, it inspires you,

It grills you red, it chills you blue.

It shows you your true friend and foe.

That’s the city of Chicago for you, my friends

One of the greatest cities you’ll ever know.

Try it.....you'll like it

When your sunshine goes missing for days on end,
And nothing seems right in the world,
When there is nothing left that you like in yourself,
When you feel life is no longer your friend,
Do yourself a favour….
Look at yourself with the eyes of the one who loves you.
And suddenly the not-so-nice things,
About you and your life, that pain you,
Will not look so painful after all,
They’ll look forgiveable, silly, and even adorable
Once you look with the eyes of the one who loves you.
The world and life itself, appears so new, so fresh
Inviting you to give it another try, a second chance,
U realize the words “You are beautiful” are indeed true,
When you look at yourself with the eyes of the one who loves you.

Unconditionally

Do you know what it means
To have someone who loves you
Unconditionally,

Who is always there
To support you in your dreams,
To rejoice in your victories,
And to revel in your joys.

To wipe away your tears
When your heart is heavy,
And to wash away your fears
With all the strength she has.

Now you know what it feels
Coz at the other end of the world,
There she is such a person
Who will always be
Whatever you want her to be,

No matter what, till the end of forever,
Giving you all that she can give you
Unconditionally.
