That Dangling Pearl...!!!

Remember how precious few of our nick-knacks are.

Yeah, I can see that smile on your face, those precious little things which were given to us by those special someone at some point of time. They are really priceless, a look at them brings a big smile and makes us happy even today.

Those little hide-n-seek games, those creative excuses to plan meetings, bunking classes or going for an extra class...oh those moments!!

Remember how it feels even now when you find that Rose somewhere in your old books...priceless!!

Love...from then till now...!!!

" मेरे झुमके का मोती

जब छू जाता है मेरे काँधे से,

तब लगता है, तुम छूकर मुझे

गुज़र जाते हो…

फिर याद बहुत तुम आते हो…

बसे हो तुम मॆरी साँसों में,

जिधर देखती हूँ,

उधर बस तुम हो,

तेरी यादों से मेरी धड़कन है,

तुझे ना पाकर, मेरी तक़दीर

मुझसे रूठी क्यों है,

है खबर मुझे, कि तुझे पाना नहीं आसान,

फिर यह इंतज़ार,

यह बेक़रारी क्यूँ है,

साथ है मेरे तू,फिर भी साथ नहीं,

गुज़र गए बरसों तन्हाई में,

लेकिन बाँहों को मेरी,

आज भी तेरा  इंतज़ार क्यों है,

न जाने क्यों, झुमके का यह मोती,

आज भी मेरे संग क्यों है…… "

"Oh these pearl earrings,
 they touch me on my shoulder, 

I feel you touch me

as you pass me by.

I pine for you.....

You dwell in my breath, 
Whither I see, I see you
Your memories,

the beats of my heart,

I don't have you, Oh why?

Oh!! why the dismay, my destiny
  

I know, torment is the quest for you.

So why this wait, the anxiety.

You are with me, but oh so distant!...

Years gone by in loneliness, 

Why my arms long for you,

I know not why, 

the pearl, of my earring

 is with me even today..."
