Today I will play with my kids from early in the morn
Today I will set the newspapers aside
Today I will come out of the loo to spend those precious moments with you
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I wont scowl at the neighbor's baby as she wails for the unknown
Today I wont stare down the milkman when he takes a while to move from the elevator
Today I wont think funny of my neighborhood laughter club
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will sit as a family at breakfast
Today I will talk about my work ahead
Today I will talk about your day that will be in school
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will tease my son about the crush I think he has
Today I will mimic my daughter and see her smile
Today I will make sure we all laugh
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I won't get angry
Today I won't let you go without letting you know I love you
Today I won't want anything to stop me calling you from work
Who knows if it's 26.11
Today I wont leave home without putting things back in place
Today I wont let anything stop me from teaching you that new recipe
Today I wont fuss as you fuss about my gleaming polished shoes
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will tell you how tired I am after parking all those cars
Today I will tell you how many guests I smiled at
Today I will tell you about all those delayed orders that I took care of
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I won't dine with my friends
Today I won't celebrate my anniversary
Today I won't drink for longer than you asked me to
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I won't come to the hospital
Today for the needy I won't care
Today I will return home early
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I won't take the train
Today I won't wait in the waiting room
Today I won't loiter about the platform
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will call my parents who are far away from me
Today I will hear the twinkle in their eye
Today I will see the words and love that they share with me
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will queue up my car at a security check
Today I will be patient
Today I will smile at the man doing his duty
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will wave at the cop from the ac confines of my car
While he toils in the sun
Today I will not grit my teeth at the traffic
Today I will smile at my anonymous neighbor in the jam
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I wont slight away the waiter as he offers me finger food
Today I will remember that I did the same so many years ago
Today I will give my best to the ever smiling door man
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will not throw garbage on the road
Today I will not dirty my own house
Today I will not allow you to walk all over me
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I will try and influence a good deed
Today I will awaken a conscience
Today I will do my bit to create an Indian
Who knows if its 26.11
Today I wont allow you to get away from all that you are doing that is wrong
Today I will want answers from you for the questions that I have asked
Today I will ensure I will not be cowed by your goons
I don’t want again a 26.11

Excerpt from a message to a friend and a couple of new ones
Excerpt from a message to a friend and a couple of new ones
.....I am like many of us are confused-its ok to say we need change etc but what and how? Does it mean one of us needs to stand up and aim to get elected? Does that then mean mingling with these goondas etc-can one man bring about a change? (Sure) but do we have that patience and perseverance? Most importantly is enough being done now or are we ready to face another attack?
And to me terror isnt about bullets alone-its about how we being part of a society are terrorising it-whether via the dogs we take for a walk and leave their poop all over the roads-whether its by inflicting terror via the garbage we throw on the streets and outside our homes...
What do we do and how do we do it? A lot of people I know are looking for these answers...
I am just taking out my frustrations via my blogs, my writings and i feel deeply handicapped that i cant see a light at the end of the tunnel
The truth is-I WANT TO!

A MESSAGE FOR YOU KNOW WHO
Putting an end to terrorism
Calls for patriotism among other isms
To me the number one terror outfit
Is the Govt that is a misfit
Have we forgotten the meaning of independence
Or are we using it for our convenience
For spitting on the roads and making your pet dog poop on them
Hey that isn't azaadi I thee condemn
These potholed roads and the overflowing garbage bins
These vehicles parked as they please and the hawkers on the trims
Hey independence was never meant to be wasted so soon
Even if your baap is now the local goon
Why is that we need a wake up call
Every time that as a nation we fall
Why is that while we have language,state,religion etc as a divide
To unite us we don't have a single pride
You mongers have been raping us for years on bound
From time immemorial we have suffered nary a sound
Are we still going to bear this in all the pain
Or are we going to say HELL no more for you to gain
Hey get real pal the nation is on an upsurge
We have metamorphosised... enough have you splurged
This time on the hurt won't fade
If at all its you on the razors blade
Enough of plundering enough of loot
The day isn't far when you'll get the boot
These are your fading moments i'm sure
I'm certain this time India she'll be pure
Get down on your knees crave forgiveness
Wallow in self pity in your mess
The end this is the end
The real Indians are finally awake my friend...

SOME CRYPTIC SUGGESTIONS TO RESTORE WORLD PEACE
Or
Simply Said-Kick Some A**
If the world leaders present and future
Are really bothered about world peace my dear
Then why cant they sit together
Russia,US,China,Pak and India here?
Get rid of world terror
Just cannot live with all this horror
Surely the solution is in sight
Is it in the problem? ..Not quite..
If strategies can be conjured in war rooms
Then you dont need witches on brooms
To figure what part of the globe needs cleaning
And put Mother Earth back to what she was-Gleaming
Obama,Medvedev,MaYingJeou,Zardari & Singh
I sincerely do hope you guys are listening
This is the time when the world needs to unite
And show the cowards your might
What better opportunity now than ever before
Global financial crisis and all this gore
Get the world cleaned of all this mess
And your economies with the world will prosper-God bless
