adugulu tadabadi aapeste
paadam nadakalu nerchena?
chinukulu noppani vidiliste
komma chigurulu todigena?

nippe vedani oddante
puttadi kantulu puttena?
neere ningiki baruvante
pudamiki vanalu vachena?

nisidhi minnuki todante
turupu udayam chusena?
netiki otami chedante
manugada gamyam cherena?

ae tolakari chinukula spandana
ee pachani vasantham            
ae prabhata pilupula prardhana
ee prabhasa ravikiranam
ae cheekati kannula aaradhana
ee vennela karteekam
ae pudami korkela sodhana
ee jallula sraavanam
ae vidhata talapula abhinandana
ee vannela prapancham

c'est la vie

Along the paths of journey in time
you tumble and fall but it's all fine
sometimes it's sorrow and sometimes it's pain
but morning follows the night my sunshine

few tears, few fears and few cheers in line
kindle and rejoice coz life is sublime
there's cloud, gloom, storm and rain
but joy follows the grief my sunshine

fight the fear of failure again
fly with the wings of hope again
see the world of dreams again
feel the rhythm of life my sunshine

Vaana

chirujallai karigi
sirivaanai jaari

chinukulai kurisi
chirunavvulai merisi

gandhamai maari
parimalamai cheri

palakarimpai tadimi
pulakarintai tadipi

rekkalapai kaari
puvvulapai raali

madhuramai vachhi
sudharaagamai paadi

aalapanai pilichi
paricheyamai nilichi

kurisindhi vaana...
velisindhi vaana...

Fly High

Take away my anger
find me my peace

Embrace my sadness
find me my solace

Drive off my despair
find me my hope

Accept my weakness
find me my strength

Fight my conceit
find me my attitude

Enlighten my path
find me my dream

Unwind my horizon
find me my insight

Break my constraints
find me my wings

I want to fly and
soar high and high...

EE vela

జాబిలమ్మ  జోల  పాట  పాడే  వేళ
కనుపాపలు నిదురంచులు  తాకే  వేళ

కొమ్మలు  చిరుగాలి ఊయలూగే వేళ
కన్నులు కలల లోకం చేరే వేళ

చీకటి తలుపులు రాతిరి తెరిచే వేళ
మది తలపులు అలసిపోయి ఆగే వేళ

తార తీరం కలవరించి చూసే వేళ
ఊహల రెక్కలు ఒడిలో వాలే వేళ

మెల్లగా ఆలోచన అడుగులు తప్పే వేళ
నిండారా నిదుర నన్ను లాలించే వేళ

Sandesam

నిలుస్తుందా  గడిచే  సమయం
ఆగదంతే  కదిలే  కాలం

తెలుస్తుందా  రేపటి  గమనం
తెలిసినదొకటే  ఈనాటి  పయనం

అలుస్తుందా  ఆశల  గమ్యం
సాగాలంతే  ఈ  ప్రయాణం

నడిపిస్తుందా  నీలో  స్థ్హైర్యo
చేరాలంటే  కోరిన  తీరం

ఫలియిస్తుందా  ప్రతి  ప్రయత్నం
గెలవాలంటే  ఈ  పోరాటం

ప్రశ్నిస్తుందా  సమాధానం  
తెలియాలంటే ఈ  పాఠం

సరిపోతుందా  ఒక్క  జీవితం
ఇవ్వాలంటే  ఈ సందేశం

Morning Raaga


The soothing comfort of cool breeze
The serene beauty of nature's cast
The dry scent of summer fragrance
The supple folds of endless sky
The sublime shades of orange hues
The pleasant color of golden light
The mottled landscape of desert turf
The subtle shadows of rocky hills
The glowing patterns of urban sets
The rising glory of morning sun

vivacious yet simple..
urban yet rustic..

Na Presna

ఉహలు చేరని తీరముందా ?
కలలు చూడని లోకముందా ?

ఆశలు తెలియని ఆలోచనుందా ?
మనసు కలవని  భావముందా ?

పరుగులెరుగని  కోరికుందా ?
పయనమెరుగని పాదముందా ?

ఆరాటానికి అందని వేగముందా ?
వెలుగుకి కనిపించని చీకటుందా ?

నేటికి మించి నిజముందా ?
ఆనందానికి మించి గెలుపుందా ?

కాలం పరిచెయమవ్వని క్షణముందా ?
సమయం పలకరించని తలపుందా ?

ఈ ప్రశ్నకి బదులుందా ?
ఆ బదులుకి పలుకుందా ?

ఐతే పలుకుకి మాటుందా ?
ఆ మాటకి భాషుందా ?

I

clarity begins with confusion
change begins with thought
solution begins with quest
success begins with failure
growth begins with fall
Identity begins with "I"

clarity empowers
change drives
solution elicits
success defines
growth projects
Identity leads...

My Magic Man

I don't remember

those evening walks I have taken with you in the stroller, sleeping in peace.
those small steps I have taken as a child holding your hand.
those first words I have spoken as a little one smiling at you.

But, I remember all those

peaceful nights when I fell asleep on your lap listening to stories
happy birthdays when I asked you for more chocolates
naughty times when I reached into your purse for money
exam mornings when I woke you up for milk and tea
summer evenings when I nudged you for cool drinks and ice-cream
shopping visits when you bought me maps and books
school homework's when you helped me with maths and science
playdays when you taught me cards and chess
wonderful moments when you chided me with love and care

No matter where you are and how far away
you were, are and will always be my magic man

In memory of my grandfather - Yeswantha Rao

Dream

I met you in the wake of thought
I told you my story of life

I held you in the eyes of trance
I gave you my wings of hope

I saw you in the vision of future
I lent you my hand of resolve

you are not just my version of zest
you are my world of passion

you are not just my definition of attitude
you are my source of action

I know I can make it
I believe I can be there

will cut through the distance of time
will travel the miles of trail

to see the dawn of triumph
to live the dream of dreams

Choice

when there is just, only an ounce of strength to fight; I choose life
when there is just, only a maze of thought to follow; I choose life
when there is just, only a hand of resolve to hold; I choose life
when there is just, only a ray of hope to help; I choose life
when there is just, only a shadow of love to sustain; I choose life
when there is just, only a question of life to answer; I choose life
for I am happy to know
that I can still choose and that there is still a choice…

A little flower

I smile,
when the pearly hues of sky wake me up, to a pleasant morning amber
and I worry,
when the thick shades of orange drown me, in a grave serene sunset

I blush,
when the soft strokes of tuft soothe me, with a gentle placid touch
and I repel,
when the rough hands of air swirl me, in a sudden hard grasp

I revel,
when the fine colors of bloom adorn me, in a lush green spring
and I tremble,
when the somber layers of cloud drench me, in a heavy wet rain

I dance,
when the velvet curls of wind cuddle me, in a smooth tickling lurch
and I lurk,
when the huge leaves of stem engulf me, in a rapid soaring plunge

I repose,
when the mellow scents of summer lull me, into a deep quiet tranquility
and I cringe,
when the dry winds of winter enfold me, in a sharp horrid chill

But no matter what,
I remember to fight and hope for tomorrow; to smile once again and live once again.
