Sikkim

The world we knew was left behind us
Ahead spread out the rolling hills
Mist and clouds and mountains tall
The heaven’s air hung low here
Dreams that had faded in the city lights
Came back, like a faint, forgotten song……

New year wishes, 2009

In the coming year
May the sun shine brighter
and all our troubles are a shade lighter,
May there be a star everynight
to guide us to a path full of delight,
May we resist the temptation of cynicism
while the world weighs down under its own criticism,
May we not just pray, but work towards peace
for the dawn comes only to those
who light a candle even when the wind blows....
