Stars and me!

I looked at the stars and they gazed at me,
We got into a conversation as it could be...

They asked me, why was I awake and my thoughts steady,
when the one I was waiting for was in his dreams already?

I said, I don't know, if it is him,
or just a whim?

If he is a memory to be,
or a future memory to see?

The stars told me that they could see him dream,
with every day the bond is growing deep it seems.

I told them what if they were not sure?
They told me, magic works miracles, so pure!

They told me, the twinkle in your eyes which are so gentle,
No, man can escape that light which is so bright!

I told them, if that was true,
then why doesn't he tell me the answers anew?

They said, find the brightest of us that you can see,
I pointed ten and gave up then.

They said, you could see just what was close in thought
And just because you couldn't see the dim ones, it doesn't mean they exist not

So if someone feels to be close because you have let them shine
Doesn't mean you have found that star which is awake to find you, my wine!

I told them if that is the case,
Then when do I end my prince's chase?

They told me, sleep, my girl,
One morning you will know the answer to the riddle

That morning we won't be there to see your rosy face,
But then when you remember this talk that we have with you, amazed

Because sometimes life unfolds,  
those miracles which are now untold

in the most miraculous manner
that you would be swept across your feet from your manor

and when the dreamer wakes
he knows that you were there in his every breath!

...And you smiled because you knew....


I looked at the smile and I knew what they held…
They wanted to say that it is not the same as you felt…

But I do respect every word of what you have just said…

The sanity in the smile said everything…
It assured me that you are not the one for me…

And the best was yet to come it is too quick to foresee…

The words said were safe within you
they will stay as long the stars remain in dew...

You asked me to breathe it out,
.. but I wish that you knew, it was choking me throughout…

If only you were concerned for me
..but the concern was to just feel free..

That the reason for my pain wasn’t you…
and the castle that fell, was not because of you…

You know not I don’t blame
and I know that this castle was lost in rain

For there is only loss and no gain
If someday you feel my pain

You may run back in the memory lane…
But I know that you are not like me any sane..

So just close the chapter and begin writing a new one again!

Haphazard Survival


I saw it when it didn’t exist
I read it when it wasn’t written

The brightness blinded me
the noises deafened me

The way I was running for survival was so haphazard
I could barely feel that it was on a shattered glass path

I stood by for a moment and to the crispness I stared
It was just it and its glare

It was a tree on the path and I had to instantly stop
for its colours, fragrance and shade were bliss to a heedless traveller like me

I sat down the shade only to realize, my feet has sores which would heal a day
But only to leave the scars as the pain fades away

I felt the sharp pain, this time in my soul
How did I forget my ulterior goal?

The instant-unpredicted rain got me some peace
that Someone was monitoring me when I was keeping with the world’s pace

The Someone knew what I needed the most
The Someone provided me with everything at the right moments utmost almost

I relaxed under the tree and spoke to my Soul
I felt I could draw a pattern with the events which were over and done

I turned behind to just see, that it was not the shattered glass on the previous road
I was mistaken to take the wrong path for which a traveller like me was not adorned

I thought, there couldn’t have been a better destiny than mine
I had to just correct my assessments with what got me Peace of mind

I had a nap under the beautiful tree,
woke up and felt so free

Began with the journey anew, feeling satisfied and I knew
Few memories that just flew were like dew

There will be many more created like a magic spell en route
but this time just to keep peace in my root (soul)!

I packed my things up and wore my shoes and tying the laces I knew
This is a new beginning which is given to a very few

And I looked up to the path ahead,
and took the path that I chose with all the faith as I rose.

One Day!

I know you love me....but I hope you did say that One day...

The wait is painful and the dawn unsure!

I may have walked miles to meet you for I hope...
But is this possible whispers to me in a echo...?

Only the 'Cupid' named Fate can change this destiny..speaks my soul...

My hope is what I see in your eyes and I know you won't ever let me down..

I sometimes know not what to say... but to see you...

Because you make my heart miss a beat...

It then takes your name..because it knows it needs you to beat!

You know how important you are and you know everything else too..

And One Day I shall say it all looking into your eyes and holding my breath too...

Just that One Day we can't sleep for the reality is far better than the dreams we see...:)!!!

I blush, yet I try to see you!

Is this you whom I see in all my dreams...?                              
I just feel your presence but unaware it is you..!                      

Your face becomes clearer with every dream I see... You come closer everytime I meet you...You make me lower my eyes by the words you whisper to me...
The way our breaths tangle makes me more nervous and as I shy away...You hold me...

I see you everywhere after you leave... Your words echo to me... I wait for the next night to come again to meet you...

I know I never saw you but your touch seems so familiar.. I keep praying it is you and this isn't a dream, surreal!

I love it when you laugh on my talks because it makes me be yours!
I look into your eyes and touch your nose with mine and I run away into the vineyards...


Let Go!

Feelings are natural and inert to the one for whom it develops but it turns bitter the moment the feelings are vocalized!!!
The person they are directed to feels powered and the owner of the feelings feels hesitant to speak, write, call or chat with the person!

Natural phenomena..you can't disagree to that!! ;) ;)
 
It all just gets complicated...and messed and weirrrrrrd! :/ :/ :/
So it is best to let go if it is not making you feel comfortable and you do not want to speak up!
 
I mean let's stay in the shell rather than let people see your emotional side, who don't feel same as you do. So mutual feelings must exist else it is worthless!!!  
                                                         
Let go !!!

My Sister


The night was lonely
I missed my friend

I looked around
But no one was found...

I looked at the photo frame
I saw her smiling face :)

I remembered the li’l hands
when I held them...

The feeling of being elder
To responsibilities to cater

And all the giggles we shared
And the rhymes we hummed together
And the shrilled screams of winning pillow fights
And the secrets of our childhood times!!!

The sharing of cupboards to games of boards
Having same crushes to topping the Classes in Boards!!!

Running and dancing
Throwing away time...

I miss the the days with you, O sister of mine!
For, you are my first Friend and a person so fine!

The conspiracies and plans and dreams that we shared like wine
Some of which have been coloured so bright, we see them shine :)

I thank My God for giving me a gift so beautiful
I pray you be blessed always for you are the angel of mine!

Rusted Mast


We grow up!
We grey up!

All those rosy lanes,
Become a part of rain

The memories are vast,
Amidst the rusted mast

The life keeps going,
Like a sail-boat sailing

The winds determine our directions,
far we move from our affections

To touch the waves high,
Slowly that of which fade out of sight

I always end up meeting myself,
the one who questions me of my Self!

Why didn’t you do this and did that?
Why was there always a hidden want in ‘that’?

I don’t know what to answer
for Life is a huge wander!!!

The place where I belong today
Is where I was destined to be anyway

Be this or that or want or desire,
what still remains in that Fire

Up the stream I might reach the shore,
the ‘Shore’ which I was born to reach!

The place which would calm the fire, answer to me self
of all this, that and wants of my self!

I pity you.

You lied to me all the time,
You played around every time!

I sometimes wonder why did God create you?
You are such a messed up jerk I pity you.

The way you left me crying lonely at nights,
I kept waiting but you never replied!
The new girl you hang around with may be fine,
But remember you will be punished for playing with my soul divine!

Oh yeah! I sometimes wonder why did God create you?
You are such a messed up jerk I pity you.

They say love is to accept the other with its flaws,
But who said to love the one who can keep you at his paws!
Oh you beastly creature I wonder most of the times,
You are a mean, deadly Viper who should be left alone all times!

And so, I sometimes wonder why did God create you?
You are such a messed up jerk I pity you.

I wasted emotions on your sickening stories,
Solving problems and issues for your glory!
But enslaved me to be an African slave,
But you know you were powered by my hopeless love!

The reason I sometimes wonder why did God create you?
You are such a messed up jerk I pity you.

Meet RJ Khusroo!

Sometimes people just want to speak their hearts out and we don't know where and how to do that.
I'm not a great writer or a story teller but I did say I am a good Orator!
(PAUSE)
Aloha!! Friends…
I think my article on me-self should speak much about me in a modest manner! ;)


We all know blogs are meant for a soul who wants to speak and all souls speak and portray themselves in various forms. Photographers capture the innate beauty of moments in their cameras. Painters in their art forms and colours chosen for depiction!
All forms, concepts, colours, visualizations speak of the artist in their own unique way!
That is what life is about-‘UNIQUENESS’.
All forms of art are beautiful and different; they NEVER match with someone else’s work. Only if your frequency matches with the work of the artist, you are able to appreciate it. Oh yes ‘Frequency’ which determines our friends, partners and soul mates. Hence proved (in mathematics style) that physics concept of resonance is not just limited to light and sound, it matches with souls.
‘Interesting’ as it may sound to the ears and prettier to the eyes that are reading this, right now!


I wish we knew who was the one particular being, in wait for whom we err so many times and still never lose hope that he/she would come. The right moment with the right person at the right time in the right manner, aww..sounds so very Magical and pure!
Didn't that thought make you smile? I'm sure it did!

“We bind ourselves into some circles created by one’s own self and feel disappointed,” someone said to me once, I wasn’t able to understand then but now I know it is true for almost anyone including the Bohemians, the Bedouins, the Gypsies!
All of us make a sect, a border, a thought process in short a circle around them and then they are happy sometimes because of it and sometimes feel caught in it!
Truly people define their life paths and free thinking is totally accepted these days.  But I am not sure how many of you would agree to this that ‘Free thinking’ can be lethal.
It can be as harmful as much as bountiful it has been considered!
Well as the general understanding says, it is up to us to decide if submission to our own desires makes us slaves of one’s self or we rather make those lines straight which don’t let us enter the bizarre destruction! Awaiting us.
So, CONTROL you little brain and tame your self to be subtle.

Oh well!! That is who I am, SADAF KHURSHID. Learning to tame myself and enlighten my soul!
Having a Persian name meaning pearl, chosen by my parents, and depicting me completely! I did speak endlessly if I found someone with whom my ‘Frequency’ matched! Singing, dancing, shouting, planning, teaching, reading, switching and mostly painting are a few tasks that brighten up my eyes and bring satisfaction to my smile. For me, expressing myself is mostly by my talks!
Live life your way as time gone by NEVER comes back is what I believe in. It is my mantra to be Happy. I love people who are natural, SHOW OFFs just ruins my behavior towards them. BEWARE!
And yes never challenge my head as the consequences can be worse than expected.

More to come soon.
Love ya Readers!

My Mentor


“Follow your dreams!” said Everyone.
“Trust your dreams! Turn them true!” said most of those Everyone.
“Sadaf, do what you think you are best at. Learn to trust your Self.” Said My Mentor.

My Mentor, knew me too well.
Meeting her was Destiny, rather say my good luck!
She chose me from a lot, (I am glad to be chosen by you)!
She chose me for she knew, my dreams were lost.

Reason for the loss, she knew it too well!
My dreams were over shadowed, powered and mocked.
They were cluttered, put in a box, kept in a closet and locked!

Key lost! (Sigh)
But wait!! How did she know me so well?
How had she read my mind?
I wondered why her words were so clear and she was always right.
Was she some fairy in disguise?

Whoever she was, she is My Mentor!

The one who held me when I was weak and shivering in winter
The one who taught me to balance my soul when I stumbled upon stones

The one who made me feel my worthwhile uniqueness
The one who knew me better than I knew myself

The one who helped me redefine my dreams, chasing the best of the ones I had
The one who lightened my soul to Nirvana, answering me of questions which I always had

Her eyes always said, “I trust you!”
That faith, made me run the extra mile!
Her confidence made me feel stronger and more realized!

She had become my mirror challenging me to be the best and perfect being

And your existence, My Mentor makes me believe
you are My tale’s Fairy Godmother
And God has been kind to me!

 Thanks Niti Ma'am for being my Mentor and my friend!
Happy birthday Ma'am! :)

Just found Myself...!!!


I breathe freely,
I breathe freely like it is the morning breeze!

I see colours,
I see colours like world is a butterfly wing!

I speak endlessly,
I speak endlessly like the world is destined to hear to me!

I run into the wild,
I run into the wild like it has no end to it!

I sing my songs,
I sing my songs like the wind is humming to me!

I leave my hatred behind,
I leave my hatred behind like I am out of a cocoon made by my mind!

I draw abstract,
I draw abstract like it has meaning to it!

I chant my prayers,
I chant my prayers like they are the only prayers that enlighten me!

I appreciate my love,
I appreciate my love like there is none who can love humanity more than me!

I dance on my rhythm,
I dance on my rhythm like no one is watching me!

I shine bright,
I shine bright like the sunlight on the morning dew, so pure!

I feel free,
I feel free like the knots of my heart are undone!

I feel love,
I feel love like I just found myself anew...!

Knight on a White Horse

I see you when I see my self
I feel you when I feel my self

Who are you and why are you here?
Your presence is comforting yet so rare!

The way you say things it feels you read my own thoughts
We walk the woods hand-in-hand in the bright moon-lit song

When you are here just right beside me,
Then why can’t I see?

My wait is eagerly waiting for my handsome Knight
Dressed up to take me by might on the moment right

So, come in riding the White Horse!!!

I know you exist
But I can’t see you because of the mist

Come hold my wrist
And give my life the perfect twist

Together we shall enjoy the seasons
The togetherness shall last till the last sun.

River and Life


Life is just like a river. 

Begins with a zest and runs through the terrains to gain by bearing all pains. It has a kind of energy like the naive child who doesn't know what it is doing but still nothing can ever reduce its vigor. 

Soft and serene through the beginning of early 30s till the middle ages. Meeting their soul mates in form of other rives and enjoying the fertile life and spreading the joy to the farmers around. Sharing all the good knowledge of the ages to the ones in need and help the people survive if they at all heed. 

Carrying all the dirt and the waste along the plain terrains just like growing old with all your systems creating trouble and showing you that life will soon end. 
The tired and worn out soul running on its destined path to meet the ocean unknown.  

Life is similarly a bundle of joy of the unknown but just as how winds never stop for anyone neither does the river stop its gush, we all need to just GO WITH THE FLOW in the end all is well and Nirvana stands to get hold of us there.

Mi amigo experto (My savvy friend)

Sweet isn’t what I would call her but she surely is savvy.


This lady has a wonderful charm and a mysterious aura around her. Since the time I know her which was when she used to come for attendance in the hostel at 7:30 pm till date she has changed with time and become more smarter and has developed a keen understanding of the world, but one thing that hasn’t changed is that she is my friend and has always been the Best one. She has given me all rights to wake her up at any time I am in need of her help.


Sadiqa meaning ‘the truthful’ indeed has been very true to her name. She can be rude but at least she won’t lie. From watching movies together, to haircuts, to malls, to rickshaws, to photography, to kittens, to singing, to almost anything and everything She has been my companion throughout.I travelled for the first time in DTC with her and also bunked many a classes and partied with her. I also remember that night when we were talking to a friend of ours and it was early morning and at that moment we experienced the supernatural!! :O 
My only experience of ghosts!


She is a wonderful singer and her sweet melodious voice. She can sing in almost any language and can mesmerize you with her songs.
She is a perfect artist. Can visualize almost anything in the best artistic form..:D Hehe!!


A typical Arian Lady who is full of energy and enthusiastic about many a dreams she has.I just wish that she gets whatever she wants and deserves and that we remain friends forever and always.


Happy Birthday Sadi! :-*

Relics of thou Sire


Why do we fear in our prayers to ask God for heavens?
Why do we beg and plead to lead us to happiness in things or this worldly origins?

Why are we so caught up in Karma Chakra of ours?
Why are we not able to break-free the Boundaries created by hours?

Why have we become robots of our own needs?
Why have we not thought about the afterlife until we are in want of some more good deeds?

Remember, calamities are a sign for the Living
Calamities are a warning from the Creator to the believing,

“I love you my Creations,
Still you endanger yourselves by your own desperations.
Trying to save you from your bad ends,
I need to waken you up by the churning of the earth-beds bends,
So that you tend to mend your ways and the means by which you lend,
Remember to blend but to never offend,
Because in the end the comforts of world will not be your friend.”

Let’s not regret the past,
Lust and cost and calculations of all lost

Forgetting that they are meant for trials,
And you give in to this trivial pleasure of materials and make it your afterlife's rival,

Considering the concept of heavens to be fake,
But still for God’s sake,
Take a rake And clear your life’s dry blades,

Be true to the One and pray to be Selfless,
To make you pure and divine,
So that you may never pine for the time that has passed its line
And you evolve to be really refined and fine,

And you be always ready for your time
Well this made my poem rhyme…!!!
