Oh ! That touch...!!!

"Touch has a memory", said; John Keats.

Memories attached to "Touch" are different for everyone, every touch is different, we grow old but we never forget the mother's touch or the baby's touch, that soft palm on our cheeks, similarly a friend's hand on the shoulder or the touch of your sweetheart, when you feels like millions of tiny sparkles are being born and then dying in the space between the fingers, while you both walk hand in hand.

When I am lonesome, I think of you, you may be too far for my hands to hold you, but you are always near for my heart to love you.

The sky, the clouds, the stars, the moon, the cold wind or the bold waves; everything in this world makes me feel that you are around. When I look at the stars, you touch my eyes, when I walk in chilly nights, you touch my cheeks, every now and then you make me believe that you are with me.

Touch the heart, love the soul...!!!

"बादलों के गरजने से जो आँख खुली

तो यूँ लगा कि दरवाज़े पर तुमने आहट दी है,

बाहर आयी तो पूरी भीग गयी बारिश में

लगा तुम्हारे प्यार में सरोबार भीग गयी हूँ

इस बारिश के छूने का अहसास भी

तुम्हारे जैसा था.....

बढ़ चली जब तन्हा

यादों के गलियारों में,

छू गया हवा का एक सर्द झोंका

लगा कि तुम साथ चल रहे हो

उसका छूना भी तुम्हारे जैसा था.....

रुक गयी अचानक बारिश

और ना आई कोई आहट भी

समझ गयी कि तुम चले गए हो

मौसम के जाने का अंदाज़ भी

बिलकुल तुम्हारे जैसा था...... "

Translation:

"I woke up by the thundering clouds

and felt, that you called for me at the door,

I stepped out

and completely soaked in rain

It feels, I am drenched in the

shower, of your love!

Oh! that touch of rain was

just so like you!

I am lonesome, and

as I walked down memory lane

a sudden gust of wind

touche pass me,

I felt, like you are walking along!

Oh! that touch of wind was

just so like you!

The rain stopped, sudden

I did not hear any further sound

I understood

that you are gone,

The manner, in which the weather changed, was

Oh! just so like you..."
