Strange things happen and because they have no reason, they are fit to be termed as strange. What people say of things or situations or events, need not necessarily mean that they are in actual life exactly the same as people often describe them - many a times without even being aware of the situation.

People also react umimpressively at times even when they are not a party to any conversation. Their language, their mannerisms and their attitude becomes a subject of curiosity and they are often - more than once - called ridiculous.

There are others who many a times engage in silly talk and useless gossip. They just take pleasure in their wasteful and untimely discussions - which cannot be at all called discussions.

Nothing really serious isn't it?

Take care - strange enough!!!

Journeying into the drunken night


I sing for you the song
That your heart yearns to listen,
I hum for you the tune,
That your soul wants to play!

In this drunken night
As each star play above the roof
Breaking all boundaries of the sky,
Let your voice bring a new life!

Your face that glows in the dark,
Creating circles like the marigold,
Bursting into new journeys – as
Each one to the other…!

Let me take you on this road
Where the moon and the stars and
The wide open sky spreads its
Arms, beckoning us into that song of love!

The queen of night twinkles, tickling
The quilt underneath… releasing the notes
Into new journeys through the soul – breaking free…
Telling tales – one to one – looking beyond…!
Let your soul journey through mine….

The music of the night crosses silently,
Lighting up the hidden lamps of old corridors
Its music creating new notes – one after another
Beads – as each string still hold to the other…

The drunken night still sings as the tune plays
Different strokes at this midnight hour!

Oh! This drunken night,
How do you pass by so quickly?
For, I have loved you so much,
Can I love you any further?

The night’s carnival still sings
As the bosom of life fills each note
With the power of Love!

Life, what do you say?
What notes do you play?
What moves do you make?

Play; play on, as I think of you!
