memories down the lane!

Looking back at the eleven glorious years spent in LORETO , a wave of nostalgia sweeps through me..

a vivid mosaic and invitingly compells me to sail through time and relive those splendid moments of innocense .

i still remember the day when i first stepped into the school premises. My small self being clad in blue and beige took in the sprawling grounds, grassy play grounds, huge gardens, gigantic trees and school building abounding in memories , which for years had stood as a silent witness to the generations come and gone..

I was lead away by a pair of gentle and loving hands into a new world - a world of joy , companionship and intimacy- the primary school

Having thus embarked on the journey of enlightment, many milestones were crossed and i reached juniou school with an atmosphere of harmony, amity, togetherness, warmth and childish ecstacy. Along with academics there were trillions of other co- curricular activities which were organised with much enthusiasm and good spirits.

Then came senior school with its maturity, solemnity and responsibilities where i came face to face with reality - the hardships, rigours and hurdles of life, It taught me to face adverse situations bravely. the values instilled in me by this school will remain with me always...

it has succeeded in preparing me spiritually, intellectually, morally and socially for my life in the world today.

I will never forget the wonderfulk people who have moulded me into what am today. I am ever grateful and thankful to them.

today , when i pass by my school - a heaven which beholds memories in every nook n corner the verses of the LORETO CHOROUS resounds in my ears..

" ....And when our school days ended are

And varied paths divide..

O may the ideals of our youth still ever be our guide..

High ideals of purity of duty and of truth ..

Learnt while we bore Loreto's flag ..

In the sunny days of youth"

i fervently pray to God to bless my school and all the people associated with it for achieving its noble goals and for your greater glory!

VIVE LA LORETO!

IS THIS LOVE??

I beholded his love in my heart..i knew it will there forever last...

i loved him so much..i felt so deep for him..

though he left me broken ..he left me alone ..he subsided my dreams..

tears were a token of his love ..the pain prooved his presence..

BUT

now my heart breathes ..and breathes with a joy though familiar yet new and fresh!

you walked into my life and changed its face..

tears are now smiles ur thought bestows..

We have not met each other but still i feel the silence speak between us..

we havent felt each others touch but still my soul is so touched..

My heart does not get weary praying for you..

and my mind thinking about you...

is this love??

A hope glides in my eyes when i talk to you...

your voice eases all pain n cures all wounds..

your presence makes my life worthwhile..

you have made a dead soul alive..

is this love??

i dont have words to say what i feel for you..

but yes i wanna be all for you...

but seeing me happy..

malacious fate asked..is this a selfish desire

am i just addicted to u as one gets addicted to drugs that eases all pains but kills from inside???

or is it love???

the sweetest poison indeed!

A never-ending turmoil , unrests me often and gives me moments of paralysed intensions to end up every thing i dreamt, i hoped and desired!

The silver moon grows with the darkening night..my eyes still wide open trying to look thro' the darkness hoping the view of a lighted world with the springfields and jolly sun..

It is what of late i realised the thirst for self-realization..of being self and identifying the dream through open eyes which always resides in the closed one!

I ran about hapazardly thro' myself..a continuous conflict ..a dreadful war of shattered thoughts ..i ran.. i ran ...and i ran.. but it was when i stopped that the tired eyes visualised the beautiful world of my closed eyes luring me...in front of me.

It was me on a steep cliff ..sitting by myself all alone at the edge and smiling ...ahead was a neverending fountain n chirping birds flying fearlessly with beauty and grace!

This is what i want from life..the smile ..yes the smile that curved strangely yet with all simplicity ...

It was a selfless smile and the very moment i saw it i realised..it is what i have always tried to do ...

I wat to be the independent wind..i want to reach the nuk and corner of the whole world..life giving and life saving..

blowing with grace and boldness..with beauty and thrust..toching everyone..

Touching the smiling faces and the mourning souls..share the smile and heal the pain..

I wanna be the hope for the despair..

the instument of love!

A dream i realised.. a pursuit to accomplish!!

THE NEED FOR LIBERATION

The world stands in need of liberation my lord..

it still needs to feel your power..

the dumb and the deaf, the blind and the maimed ..

atill need to feel your healing touch...

there are those who have eyes

but refuse to see the inhumanity done to men

there those who have ears but refuse to hear

the cry of men in agony...

there are those who have hands

but refuse to reach

the inhumanity done to men.....

(hym from my schools hym book)
