First Anniversary of My Blog...

Hello Friends,

Clock struck 12 midnight and date in India shifted to November 14, 2010 and A LITTLE MORE THAN ORDINARY got ready to celebrate its First Annivesary..
Lucky that the anniversary fell on the day eagerly awaited i.e. Sunday, the OSI and Haiku Heights Day.. This space has become kind of a sacred space for me which so many angels visit to see, feel, think, share, tell, smile, laugh, stare, touch leaving behind aroma of their presence.. which emboldens me to keep going.. I reiterate..the thoughts spread here may be taking birth in my heart but belong not to me alone..I keep spilling the flow and God takes care of providing some shape or meaning.. for me its a kind of meditation and I just find myself lost in another world which is very beautiful..you know it because I have met you people too often there.. well.. pushed by a friend, I untwined myself from the threads of reluctance that had tied me after publishing my maiden book under the same title in 2002 for restricted circulation..and this web-page was born..which is being nurtured by your love..WITH THANKS TO MY FRIEND VIKAS, WHO PUSHED ME..AND TO YOU ALL WHO HAVE BEEN GIVING THEIR VALUABLE COMMENTS , I place my humble contributions for OSI and Haiku Heights..



OSI: Echoes & Haiku Heights: Silk


Echoes of childhood
Stem from a silky moon
Untold stories shine


For OSI Prompt : Echoes


I Shout Out Happiness..

Echoes stemming from future..
Is it some mistake here
Often one talks about
Echoes stemming from past
But then for me it had to be different..
Past had been vast,
With webs created out
Of myriad happenings..
Some wonderful, some wounded
A few happy & joyful,
Others holding perpetual pain
Having passed through
Friendly alleys, forbidden
Streets and stranger roads
One feels comfortable
Traversing the past
For one is aware, knows
What truly lies there
And, welcomes any
echoes
From those familiar corners
But then, whenever
Present is a bit discomforting,
Irritating like a dangling
Button on my shirt
I prefer to envision a
Lot more beautiful life
Slowly emerging from
My own dreams,
Getting skillfully carved
By an unseen future
Where I often visit, and
Standing erect
On the highest point
Of my own depths
I shout out happiness..
Echoes make my
Inner space vibrate
Heart skips a beat or few
In excitement, mind
As always a little doubtful
Tries to stay focused
On sounds from the past
But those quietly sink
As echoes stemming from
A Happier future
Start weaving their magic
Present beyond any doubts
Feels good and happy
Pretty soothing & comfortable,
Exactly the way one feels in
A nicely buttoned up old shirt
Warm and soft to the skin,
While walking on a wintry street
Soul singing in tune
Resonating perfectly with magical
Echoes stemming from future….

  2. Behave as if you already are your wish-come-true. These words seem to resonate with your poem so beautifuuly stated in echoes that stem from the future. Like paying it forward, or walking in faith, or sitting inside the laughter of angels and soaking their energy into your skin, your poem leaves the soul lighter and brighter, your words having touched it with the brush of an artist-dreamer.

  12. First, congratulations on your one year blogoversary! Such a misletone worthy to be celebrated!

    And yeah, I must be one of the angels, who comes visiting when she has the luxury of time, but more often than not, fails to do so...so maybe a fallen angel, lols!

    Your echo poem is soothing but when the present echo is more than one can behold, yeah, it is but nice to go back in time and feel the good times we have had in the past which constantly make wonderful echoes!

    Superb take Ramesh!

    Again, Happy One year anniversary...continue and keep penning your beautiful thoughts..They are inspiring to read!

I always love to read your work- you always seem so positive and hopeful- that is so good- me- not so much. Anyway- I loved both poems but these lines really stood out to me: "Soul singing in tune
