Common Wealth, Wrongly Dealt?!! (Click to enlarge)

Hasn't media crossed the line? Destroying their own country's image in every possible corners of the world. Of Course unveiling the scam was important. But once you have seen & shown there is a hole, as true citizens would you just make sure the dark digging gets deeper & deeper to a point of no return...or make a genuine effort to fill it, for you & the society?? Criticism till when? Yes a man fell, but for how long will you ask him the reasons & proofs before helping him up....till he dies? Especially when the man here is YOUR OWN COUNTRY. What are you doing people???!!

Eleven Lives

Eleven Lives was just a small thought that was lingering in my mind two days ago. I just put a little bit more imagination to it, hope even you all can blend in it the way I did when I was manifesting it. Love. ~ Abhik (P.S. - GO Full Screen after full buffering! Fingers crossed!!:-))

The Yearning

(This poetry is sweet & very simple, but the reason I am posting it is its almost after six months I have written a love poetry, hopefully I haven't rusted! Wink!!)

Beyond the blue mountains I yearn for you
In the sunlight path I keep walking for you…

All my life my breath for you so patiently waited
Now with this sunset I wait for a new sunrise elated
My heart drools at the lush green leaves & the colourful sky
Making me believe my lover is somewhere nearby

And my heart again yearns for you…so yearns for you…
As if waiting for you is all I was born to do
And though I crave for you like never before
I still have the power to wait forever on this shore

Even before meeting, how I am in love I can’t comprehend
If you are listening my Guardian Angel, my lover now please do send
All these lines I write for her, but she’s the only one who doesn’t listen
Meeting her & telling her how much I already love her is now my only mission

Sometimes when I am alone, I wish I could hold her hands & softly rub them
To irritate each other to entice again thousand reasons we would invent lame
On winter nights as I would embrace her like my child
On hot summers I wouldn’t mind her going all wild!

I so want to feel her wink ever assuring me nothing can go wrong
Her head on my chest as we together sing our favourite song
Walking on the soft sand on the beach as we play with salt water & our eyes
Seeing her laugh knowing there are things truly beyond any pain & ties

Enjoying each other’s silence in cold rain through our glass window
The most comfy secure feeling of being each other’s shadow high or low
My prayers would be answered soon something tells me
A teardrop of passionate love will flow as soon as her I will see

Beyond the blue mountains I yearn for you
In the sunlight path I keep walking for you…

I really don’t know how, but I already love you…

The Proposal

(This proposal is excerpt from my under construction second love story, after the Flower Girl:-) Hopefully you all will like it.)

"I love you. I love you very, very much darling. I look for you every time I hear your name. My eyes scrabble through the crowd looking for my favourite eyes. Your eyes. Every time you laugh aloud, I keep smiling like an unsatisfied child until someone interrupts. And every time you take your beautiful lock of hairs to gently tug it behind your ears, I so wish I could do it. Every single time for the rest of my life. You know the way you so angelically blush when your friends praise you I pray if only I could hold that moment & decorate it in my soul forever …I won’t make impossible promises but I just wanted you to know, that your love would be safe with me…no matter where you be…your love would be safe with me…For when like my dream fairy you so wonderfully wink my heart wants to jump & drink…through your eyes, all my life…And every time you so sweetly smile I become oblivious to everything, almost pleading Almighty that let me be the man who could hold your hands in life’s every mile… When you are mischievous & slightly bite your lips I take a long sigh, before in ecstasy my heart dips. You know love, there are times when I am lucky to see your cutest yawn & those days I find my soul in bliss till the next dawn, when you give me another reason to be happy. I don’t know how but the only time I do not think about you is when I am with you…for then I am incapable of thinking anything at all…I am just thankful my heart keeps beating, I know it for sure because sometimes its thumping is so loud that I have to pat it & say, calm down, its true, she’s standing right in front of you…I really don’t know when darling, but I have fallen for you in a way I am ready to rise for your love, our love in every life to follow…I know life is a hugely vague term, but if there’s one thing I am perfectly certain about in my life, it is I can never ever again feel the special way I feel for you…If I say for eternity I love You, will you my love say…I do…" ~ Abhik Choudhury, March 28th, 2010

Blessed Human

I am not god, I am blessed

I can feel that bliss of rain after waiting for diverse

seasons
I am not God who can have any season without

reasons
I can feel the magical power of healing after sustaining

limitless pain
I am not God who for any pain is too powerful…

too sane…
I am mortal, I know after going through thousands of moments I shall face death
I am not God who has to always go on & on & on, being ever immortal his fate
I can feel the selfless love of my parents, their sacrifices, their compromises…
I am not God, the divine Father of all…who without exception never falls, always rises…
I am human, I know the beauty of rising after many falls & defeats
I am not God who can always catch, to make you smile a close one’s sweet deceits
I am human, I can feel the incomprehensible satisfaction of earning hard earned bread
I am not God the creator of all, who to whenever take whatever He has made has no dread
I can’t explain the excitement of future unfolding itself slowly with every breath
I am not God, the author of every future who already knows about every opportunity & threat
I am human who knows & values the infinite power & peace of hope & pray…
I am not God who has only to fulfill, nothing to hope, no one to pray, the owner of night & day
I am a mortal, whose mind is always full of questions, & his life an incessant voyage of elucidation
I am not God, who has no questions, no queries, who’s naturally much beyond any emancipation
I am human who at every turn is in total awe of incredible cycles & eternal exquisiteness of universe
I am not God, who like a great poet is not at all amazed by the magnificence & glory of his own verse

I am not God, I am blessed…

The Wings of Colourful Reverie ~ Abhik Choudhury, Dec. '08

This is one of my glass paintings few years ago, which I had made for one of my sister Amruta Di's Birthday. While I was pondering on what to create, this bird came unto my mind because something about this imagination shouted aloud of pride, humble simplicity even in grandiosity, freedom, magical dreams & all the beautiful colours of life. I hope that you all will also be able to see those reflections when your lovely eyes stay with this Bird with wings of colourful reverie! Loads of Love - Abhik Choudhury

   

NEW SEGMENT: Song of the Fortnight ~ Din Dhal Jaye

This is one of my all time favourite song from the movie Guide which went on to become a classic. The melody in the song is impeccably rare. I heard this song for the first time three years ago & was totally submerged & lost in a surprisingly tranquil pathos. I still sometimes wish I should have heard it when I was a kid...I would have had more years to enjoy the blissful music, the soulful lyrics! Mohd. Rafi, S.D. Burman & Dev Anand at their tragic best! Go ahead...if you haven't heard it...trust...you will cherish it...forever:-) (P.S. Go full screen! Wink!!)
