katra katra milti hai , katra katra jeene do ,
zindagi hai .. behne do ...
pyaasi hoon main , pyaasi rehne do ....

Have u ever kissed the rain ?
held it in ur arms, moment by moment, drop by drop..
drenched urself - heart, body and soul ?
felt the pinch yet loved the feel ?
Have u ever opened ur eyes against the shower to look across at those eyes ?
those eyes tht can say so much without a word ?
Have u ever kissed in the rain , drenched to the soul and basking in the sunshine of those eyes ?
i have.

kal bhi to kuch aisa hi hua tha ,
neend mein thi tumne jab chhua tha..
girte girte baahon mein bachi main,
sapne pe paanv pad gaya tha..
sapno mein behne do ..
pyaasi hoon main, pyaasi rehne do ...

Ever opened ur eyes in the morning, smiling to the smell of a new day ?
Fresh from a wash of a lovely dream , still wet with the world full of possibilities ?
To a day pregnant with ur dreams , with the power to make them all come true ?
Have u ever smiled and turned over to that sleeping face over the pillow ?
Deep in sleep, hair all tousled ... deaf to the morning birds and sun ...
Oblivious to all the world, and to u, n yet with one arm wrapped tightly around ?
Have u ever felt like the whole day n ur whole life can wait ...
like u woke up from one lovely dream .. into the next ?
i have.

Tumne to aakash bichhaaya,
mere nange pairon mein zameen hai..
kaante bhi tumhaari aarzoo the,
shayad aise zindagi haseen hain..
aarzoo mein behne do...
pyaasi hoon mein, pyaasi rehne do ...

Have u ever looked for shapes in clouds ?
Dragons and dogs and ships and fairies ...
Been delighted as u spot a bunny - fluffy ears and bunny teeth ..
Excited as u hear a cry of joy beside u, and a finger pointing at the same cloud ?
smiled as u thought how u both caught the same thing .. and u both say -
Do you see that - " cute bunny ? " " amazing skull ? "
Have u ever felt like u cud hear that laugh for the rest of ur life ?
Have u ever looked on a view so different, n yet felt ur own was incomplete without it ?
i have.

halke halke kohre ke dhuein mein,
shayad aasmaan tak aa gayi hoon ..
tere do nigaahon ke sahare,
dekho to kahaan tak aa gayi hoon..
kohre mein behne do..
pyaasi hoon main, pyaasi rehne do ..

Have u ever walked down a misty lane on a cold winter night ?
Chilled to the bone, shivers down ur spine .. making ur way thru foggy ghosts of dim lights ?
Ever laid ur dew-dropped head against the rhythm of a warm beating heart ?
and felt moist breath on ur numb ear ?
To be flooded with the warmth of three simple words ...
Have u ever experienced victory in complete unconditional surrender ?
i have.

Have u ever been so happy u cud cry ?
i have.

An Ovation ....

Twas but half a decade ago ... that the Prelude began ....

8 different strains of laughter ... a perfect,if somewhat untuned, Octave .
each unique ... in its own Scale ...
each beautiful ... in its own Key ...
each hopeful ... of its own Concerto ...
each curious ... of every other new Note ...
each friendly ... to the idea of a Fusion ...
each eager ... with its own vision of a Grandioso ...
each patient ... of a slight Dissonance ...
each cheery ... when the other hit a low Beat ...
each merry ... in every Interlude ...
each made complete ... when in Resonance ...
none a Maestro ... but together dreaming of being one ...

Twas almost half a decade ago ...
is it time already for the Reprise ?
What began with a single chord ... to become a perfect Rhythm ...
a Falsetto every now and then ... at times more jarring than others .
but wasn't it beautiful Music that we produced ?
And now the grand Finale ... is almost past .

Is this a Requiem ?
No ...
just a simple ovation to those 8 brave Chords .
that dared to dream ... that still dares to dream ...
of future Solos ... of Beauty ... of Hope .
just a heartfelt salute to those 7 others ...
that made this lone Chord ... dance to the tune of a wonderful Harmony ...


Thank you, dear Wing .
