To the serene lake and
the misty mountain peaks
I dearly missed them
all this time

To the sound of silence and
star gazing at night
I am going to miss you
all the time

To the very special moments
and spotting the pink butterfly
I will treasure you
all my life

I am just back from
a trip to paradise
and now I wonder, why?

मिले थे सिर्फ दो बार
ज़िन्दगी भरकी सौगात मिली
कभी ना भूल पाए
ऐसी प्यारी यादें जुड़ी
बस यूंही बातों बातों मैं
यह दुनिया उलझती गयी

चाहकर भी फिर ना मिल पाए
आखिर गलती भी हमारी थी
हमने कसम जो खायी
आपने उसे निभाई
बस यूंही बातों बातों मैं
यह दुनिया उलझती गयी

डरते हैं उस दिन से
जिस दिन आपसे टकरायेंगे
क्या पता उस दिन भी आपको
पुरानी कसमें याद आएंगी
बस यूंही बातों बातों मैं
यह दुनिया उलझती गयी

घम नहीं हमें किसी बात का
नाही कोई तकरार है
बस मिलनेकी चाहत है
और उसी दिन का इंतज़ार है
क्या कहें, बस यूंही बातों बातों मैं
यह दुनिया उलझती गयी

In you,
I see a rock star
I see an opera singer

In you,
I see a carefree bird
I see a conscious soul

In you,
I see a compulsive talker
I see a absorbing listener

In you,
I see a torrid lover
I see a understanding partner

In you,
I see a spoilt brat
I see a loving mother

In you,
I see a confused girl
I see a woman of substance

In you,
I see my fantasy
I see my girl

Singhagad in the rains

Chasing the sun,
we were on top of the clouds.
At nature’s mercy,
we were enraptured by the hatched conspiracy.

A night so silent,
after the rain and thunderstorm.

A night so lonely,
I find it to be really long.

The single biggest factor that holds everyone down is the fear of failure or rejection. Once you circumvent it you are always bound to win. Either you win the chase or you win over your fear. – Akky

Close your eyes
Open your arms
Feel the drift
Take the leap
- Akky

 

A glimmer of hope
And a dash of curiosity

A reassuring glance
And a loving hug

A peaceful sunset
And a generous gesture

A magnanimous bridge
And a dreamy skyline

A dazzling necklace
And a childhood boot house

A cacophonous beach
And a tangy delicacy

A restless sea
And a balmy breeze

A moonlit face
And a twinkle in the eye

A comforting exchange
And a heartfelt confession

A welcome pause
And a connect for lifetime

A sumptuous meal
And a historic monument

A long drive back
And a coffee after midnight

A night to remember
And a day I won’t forget
