By the Seashore

I have always been mesmerized by the ambience near the sea...and love to spend my vacations in coastal places.

Unfortunately there is no beach in hyderabad :(

It gives me immense pleasure sitting on the seashore and observing the conversations of nature.
And watching the sun rise and the sun finally hiding behind the sea at the end of the day is also beautiful!!
I have written this poem in december ' 06 during one of my trips to Goa and the different beaches on the karnataka coastal lines.

By the Seashore

As I walk on the seashore,
beautiful feelings i explore.
Leaving my footprints behind,
I turn back to see, not a single i find.
The waves vanishing my footprints,
No idea at what it hints.
I want to create an identity,
but the waves dont understand my necessity.
I am here,past forgotten,future unclear.

I sit on the carpet of golden sand,
cool breeze fondling my hair and hand.
Moist air and sound of waves,
tensions and sorrows it shaves.
The waves trying to come near me,
each time it tries harder to touch me.
My only companion in this lonely moment,
trying to feel me after my consent.
I am here,past forgotten,future unclear.

I close my eyes,calm and composed,
to the nature have all my feelings disclosed.
Touched and felt by the moist breeze,
have made all my worries decrease.
Enchanted by the hollow sound of the waves,
for such peace, my mind always craves.
I am here,past forgotten,future unclear.

I open my eyes,to see a world so pure,
this moment is enough for sorrows cure.
The blue ocean ripples to the extent of my sight,
where the sky and the sea unite.
This scenic beauty is truly a delight,
making my heart serene and light.
I am here,past forgotten,future unclear.

I have experienced a moment of spellbound,
peace and content is what i have found.
My wounded heart has now been healed,
pains and sorrows have been sealed.
Forget the past,the future unseen,
Enjoy the present is what i mean!

>>The Invisible Mask<<

Hey friends,
I would like to share one of my poems titled 'The Invisible Mask'.
I have always felt that we are scared to show our real self to others.....we disclose only a part of our idenity to different people and always want to be within the limit of goodness. Somehow, we all try to be diplomatic in whatever we do.
I agree, we ought to be diplomatic sometimes....but is it agreeable at the cost of our true nature??
We just try to hide behind a mask....a mask which is only visible to us.....our friends dont even have a faint idea of it....For them the mask is Invisible!

*The Invisible Mask*

The different masks,today we wear,
our true self it is we declare.
To each person,we have a mask so unique,
its all like a game-hide and seek.
Our thoughts have always been hidden,
Is speaking our hearts forbidden??

Always trying to please and impress everyone,
A life so insecure has begun.
Living a life,fake and superficial,
Its no way going to be beneficial.
Its like a drama,its like a play,
Different masks for a different day.

When one mask is removed,
another mask is approved.
Constantly changing and hiding behind a veil,
Our worthy identity we always conceal.
The fear of rejection has crept in our mind,
people's judgement has made us blind.

Pretending has become a second nature,
and our real self is always in capture.
Let us throw away our masks,
I know, this may be a difficult task.
But....we have to show what we are,
and respect people for who they are!
Remember....I am what I am!!
for what people think....i care a damn!!

I would be glad to recieve comments.....Do you wear an Invisible Mask??

My Entry into the World of Bloggers

4 May 2007: Old Blogger physically dismantled
8 May 2007: Imtiaz joins the Blogging world

Finally....the day has arrived!!
Checking out the new version of blogger.com .....the lava of desire of getting into the world of blogging since couple of months has finally erupted!
Initially an year back.....Blogging never really interested me. I wud sometimes read blogs.....and hardly imagined that i ll end up blogging.
But i must agree , present day blogging is more fun, a place where one can exchange information and also sometimes be the critics to someone's writing abilities or may be comment on stuff copied from other sources! ;)
I have been checking blogs by other bloggers....and many consist the zenith of creativity! It is interesting to know about people's lifestyle and cultures. I hope,now that i have started blogging....i explore more interesting stuff and interact with different people.

All that you can expect from my future blogs are my poems,write-ups, some interesting events happening in my life and sometimes articles copied from varied sources( jus to keep u glued to my blogs....cant help it!) .......and yeah....they might also have a philosophical touch!
Being a novice in blogging,I wud greatly appreciate comments on my blogs!.....so that i can continue this.

Thats it for now.....
Happy Blogging!!
