I can still feel you, o Wind
The fleeting glances
The nightly sojourns
from a caring touch
to a loving embrace

I can still see you, o Wind
rushing past, looking back
filling me up to let me dry
lolling around in the gardens
flying around the whole world

I can still recall, o Wind
those private moments
from atop the hills of Vizag
to the jain temples of Abu
moments that i cherish even now

I do remember you, o Wind
at times so angry
to knock me down
at times so willing
to hold me up

under different skies, i met You
dawn-fresh red and lazy noon white
young nightly black and cool evenin'blue
in the grounds of a Ba'hai temple
and again in the resorts at Munnar

But do I know you, o Wind
do you really see me?
faceless yet facing me
pointless yet pointing away from me
what is thy will, o heavenly Wind?

Wow! That was really cool! Can almost feel the wind in my face...but instead of drying it, its dehydrating me...thanx to delhi's scorching summers!
By the way, really nicely written!

guys guys, pls don't misunderstand my innocent-seeming-yet-mischievous roomy, viz., Rahul above. I'm wholly heterosexual, as i assume Arvind is too.

don't get me wrong, i wanted to bring out a personification of Wind, not Vind!!!

@Mirage Hey thanx man! glad somebody other than me finds it decent.

You encounter me fr the first time in a month - and u ostracize,berate and ridicule me ..... in front of a twinkie who "likes k3g"!!!! sob sob ....

dude - seriously - i have no idea how the fuck was that a "oh so cool comment".First my stories were "oh-so-cool", now my comments too suffer from the same stigmata ???? Holy fuck batman, i am waiting for your "more on this late axe :P ".

In case you are wondering the reason fr this outburst - the twinkie in question subtly implied that i am a despo jackass who "confused" rightly described as oh-so-cool ,and told me to quit hitting on her .

I dont believe it . She posts FIRST on my blog. I post on hers - not asking fr her hand in marriage,her phone number, or even her to post back.
She posts again . I post .She posts. I post . She tells me to fuck off ....
Huhh.
ps; Beta sharath, lemme come to college - ill wipe that smirk off, which is on your face right now .

People can't really mind their own business can they?? take this certain creature that i mistakenly blogrolled from u who thinks he has people dying to read his blog and thinks he has a lot to offer!! Poor thing dznt know that he has the brain that is the size of a pea and balls the size of peanuts! and on top of that some ass of a frnd of his had the nerve to leave a shitty comment on my blog?! if he has the guts tell him to bloody write his own comments...not let a sidekick do it for him!
