Sunder mundriye ho!
Tera kaun vicaharaa ho!
Dullah bhatti walla ho!
Dullhe di dhee vyayae ho!
Ser shakkar payee ho!
Kudi da laal pathaka ho!
Kudi da saalu paatta ho!
Salu kaun samete!
Chache choori kutti! zamidara lutti!
Zamindaar sudhaye!
bade bhole aaye!
Ek bhola reh gaya!
Sipahee pakad ke lai gaya!
Sipahee ne mari eet!
Sanoo de de lohri te teri jeeve jodi!
Paheenve ro te phannve pit! ”
May this harvest season bring prosperity and abundance in your lives.
HAPPY LOHRI!!!!!

Happy New Year :)

January enters with a bang
tickles our senses deep within
gives us new dreams and hopes
and new challenges in life to win
February brings along the craze
Prompts to hold someone dear
Valentine season and mushy scents
To love fully and live in cheer
March brings the breeze so fresh
New leaves and blossoming buds
Announces arrival of days of spring
and grace our life with flower studs
April starts with playing pranks
Fooling pals and having fun
Fasting lent and Easter mass
Filing taxes and bathing in sun
May teases the sun to grin
Shine and spread around its glow
Rejoice in love and express it aloud
Unfurl the secrets and let them know
June flags and flashes the note
Barks aloud that summer is here
pledge to retain the natural beauty
And global warming to re-engineer
July begins the second half
Tells that time is ticking away
Its still time to make your resolve
And employ fully each new day
August brings the colors of fall
Reminding us the circle of life
What grows and lives finally rests
So live each moment in love not strife
September marches kids back to school
For lessons to learn and practice along
make them humble and make them wise
better the guild to which they belong
October declares this quarter is last
To trick or treat or work more hard
To believe the fact that good prevails
And evils perish and are caught off-guard
November brings the reason to meet
Families unite and together they dine
Festivals of lights and hugs to spread
To share and care and not to whine
December bells the message of hope
The star is shining and path is bright
Another year is waiting for you
To embrace and cherish, and make wrongs right.

Made for each other
Posted by Arora under Celebrations, Love, My English Poetry, Weddings | Tags: friend, Love, Wedding |[4] Comments
Beautiful as a princess
Draped in shades of red
Decorated with gem’n jewels
In silk and zari thread
Embellished with grace’n aroma
Of Roses and autumn’s bloom
Radiating a sparkling glow
She stands beside the groom
As charming and cute is she
His charisma is spellbound too
Adorned with chivalry and reason
His types are rare and few.
They vow and promise with love
To befriend each other for life
And angels step down to the aisle
To pronounce them man and wife
May their love be forever
In sunshine and in shade.
Complete they seem together
For each other were they made
– Khushi
Dedicated to my dear friends S and D. God bless you both

Its celebration time yet again.
My friends are proud parents of a handsome precious gem.
Two days old, he poses to be a ‘quiet’ charmer. But the day won’t be far away when he’ll bedazzle us with his naughty pranks, teasing his cutie sister, frowning at his dad’s stare and cuddling into his mom’s adore. I would love to be his partner in crime…….be the prankster chums.
Welcome to our world…….khushaamdeed jaanasheen !!!
Cheers to you for a joyous exuberant and blessed life.

Here’s wishing a very Happy Wedding Anniversary to the two most important people in my life. My Mom and Dad my real life role models.
Love you lots, Khushi
A Wedding Anniversary
is
A time of celebration
of all that two have shared.
A time of reaffirmation
of vows of love declared.
A time of recommitment
to each others wants and needs.
And not to be concerned with
who follows or who leads.
For marriage like an heirloom,
is to treasure and revere.
A union of two lovers
and all that they hold dear
So celebrate, do honor, to
the true love of your life.
Make every day an anniversary
for a special man and wife.

Most part of my last week, has been occupied…by an adorable princess. My best friend for the first time has become a proud daddy of a cute and preciously pretty princess on Aug 16. Both Mom and kiddo are doing great. The enthusiasm and exhilaration is so ardently visible on the so new parents faces. I havent seen him that happy ever. I guess its something like a divine touch that embraces the souls within. One glance at her is so refreshing. It just does wonders.
Welcome our little princess. Welcome to our world.

The mystic aura of India and the enigma that she is has captured the
imagination and fancy of great minds. Take a look at what they have to
say about India.
“Where the mind is without fear, and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary
desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake.”
“GEETANJALI” -Rabindranath Tagore
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made. -Albert Einstein
If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.- Max Mueller (German scholar)
Mark Twain said:
India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.French scholar Romain Rolland said: If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and
pestilence, of genii and giants and Aladdin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, whose yesterday’s bear date with the modering antiquities for the rest of nations-the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the world combined. - Mark Twain
When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous. - Albert Einstein
India – The land of Vedas, the remarkable works contain not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all were known to the seers who founded the Vedas. - Wheeler Wilcox (American poet)

Birthday is not special and great
As you wrinkle and grow a full year old
its because of friends and not the date
and this is the truth that stays untold

- One is a piece of cake
