Happy New Year 2008!!!

All those promises we made
All those oaths we took together
Beautiful days we spent
Those lovely nights we passed
You are the one who brought dawn into my life
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

We stayed awake all nights
We were lost in each other
We spoke about our love
Out of loneliness
We met each other everyday
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

In your arms, I found solace and spent precious moments of my life
Your beautiful moon-like face that I etched on my heart
We were so close
And I happened to be your destiny
On my lips was your name all the time
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

In daylight, in my dreams
You are the one always in my sight
You are my life; you are what my story is all about
You are my destiny
I loved you and took you for my own
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

You gave me a place in your heart
With love, you lent colours to my dreams
Your lips I kissed,
In your arms I swayed,
In your eyes I dwelt,
Do you recollect? Do you remember?

WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!
-Raj

birthday celebrations

Dearest friends,
Even I didn’t notice how soon it came back again…. Yeah, I’m talking about my birthday. One more year of experiences, ups and downs and stories has been added on my age last Friday (12 October). Since I was busy during the weekend, I decided to postpone the celebration a little forward and the celebration is absolutely incomplete without your presence.

So, I would like to invite you all for an aperitif drink on Wednesday (17 October) in Café AFSNIS at Sint-Jacob from 9 pm onwards.

I’m really looking forward to see you all there!

Nepali lyrics
सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भइ फैलिएका, मेची-महाकाली।

प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल
वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल।

ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल।

बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।

Transliteration

Sayaũ thū̃ga phūlkā hāmī, euṭai mālā Nepālī
Sārvabhaum bhai phailiekā, Meci-Mahākālī

Prakṛtikā kotī-kotī sampadāko ā̃cal,
Vīrharūkā ragatle, svatantra ra aṭal

Jñānabhūmi, śāntibhūmi Tarāī, pahād, himāl
Akhaṇḍa yo pyāro hāmro mātṛbhūmi Nepāl

Bahul jāti, bhāṣā, dharma, sãskṛti chan biśāl
Agragāmī rāṣṭra hāmro, jaya jaya Nepāl

Translation

We are hundreds of flowers, the one garland - Nepali
Sovereign, spread out from Mechi to Mahakali.

Amassing nature's millions of resources
By the blood of heroes, independent and immovable.

Land of knowledge, land of peace, Terai, hills, mountains
Indivisible this beloved, our motherland Nepal.

The diverse races, languages, faiths, and cultures are so extensive
Our progressive nation, long live long live Nepal.

Look at me!

One more poem again!

When you find yourself feeling down.
When the past comes back to haunt your dreams.
If you find yourself thinking it was all your fault.
Turn around and look at me.
See the love for you in my eyes.
See the friendship that will hold you as you cry.
Feel the beating of my heart and all of the special things you brought into my life and heart.
Just look at me.
When you shed tears of past hurts and pains.
You think it was your fault it came to an end.
When you think you are alone.
Turn around and look at me.
You will find a love so true and love that believes in you.
You will know from the look in my eyes that you are someone special.
You have nothing to feel bad about you were not the one who was bad.
Look at me feel my touch
Look at me and feel my love
Look at me and see yourself in my eyes
I think you find you are more than you ever knew.
I know you will see yourself through different eyes.
Your heart will be touched and your life and thoughts will change.
Look at me let me change your world.
Let me show you how love should be.
Let me show you a world of love you never knew.
Just turn around and see me with you.
Look at me I will always see the real you and I will always love you.
If you look at me you will know each word I write is true.
Look at me.

Empty!

What is this empty feeling? A blank so empty so heavy?
Will it ever go away, or worse will I let it? Forget it?
Don't know that I'll ever be ready.

A burden on my heart, clogs my mind, drowns my eyes, tears my faith apart.
Why did you do this? Is this really you?
How and when did you go?
That I'll ever accept this, I don't know.

Is time flying by or standing still? A ticking clock running in circles trying to fill
This empty feeling.
Will it ever go away, or worse will I let it? Forget it?
Don't know that I'll ever be ready.

I take a deep breath again, try to shake it off as if it were attached and not within.
This is for the better I sometimes hear my head screaming while in fear.
Am I trying to find what I've lost? Or trying to gain something new here?

That I'll ever find it or who? I can't see today for tomorrow as I didn't see yesterday that this sorrow
Would bring this empty feeling.
Will it ever go away, or worse will I let it? Forget it.
Don't know that I'll ever be ready.

A burden on my heart, clogs my mind, drowns my eyes, tears my faith apart.
Why did you do this? Is this really you?
How and when did you go?
That I'll ever accept this, I don't know
This empty feeling.

One of those poems of my literary age!

Maybe on your way

There won’t be my steps

Maybe in your eyes

There won’t be my dreams

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

Many days were past

Ample excuses were made

Meeting turned into tragedy

Like the songs without melody

Maybe in your darkness

There won’t be my enlightenment

Maybe in your songs

There won’t be my words

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

When I remembered you,

Tears rolled down and I asked them

Why they were out,

They replied that there is someone beautiful in eyes

And they had no place there anymore.

Maybe in your fantasy

There won’t be my portraits

Maybe in your deserted winter

There won’t be my spring

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

Time is restless

Like all the feelings

Heart is sensitive

With no endings

Maybe in your dreams

There won’t be my visions

Maybe in your reality

There won’t be my practicality

But you will always be there

Knocking at my heart.....

.....forever!
