Poems ,Stories and lot more .. By Maneesha Purandare

A kind and a very gentle man However complex matters, he would always understand. Would always be there supporting me as much as he can He never looked for praises He was never one to boast He sat in one corner Supporting us the most. He always reminded me to be confident and bold To fill any void with memories both warm and cold. I dreamt of him pulling me out of my sorrows Heartily wishing me the sunshine of tomorrow!! Dedicated to my dad(  the eternally soft spoken and loving man!!) Maneesha Purandare Pune 10.03.2016

Gamboling she entered, rolicking all the way Exuding fervor and enthusiasm in each possible way. She pranced around the hall impersonating her favourite star, Letting us into her world of fantasy through the door left ajar! In came she, sashaying in a long black dress.. Throwing some groovy moves with mirth and sleek finesse . Articulate and fluent was each of her spoken line. Laced with bubbly energy flowing freely through the mine. Sober and peaceful she sat in one corner But to the music she soon transformed into a diva, needing no warner!! Her humorous prance soon became the centre of the night Transforming the party into a playful and magical sprite. The party was full of joy , fun and a big shooting gallery Lucky was I to be a part of this cheery mirthful jamboree!! Lucky was I to be a part of this cheery mirthful jamboree!!

Silence....so serene and calm Making the heartbeats sound louder. The sand loaded with  softness But facing the sea unbowed I cast my eyes on  the country roads  That give off an earthy aroma Helping minds to lighten their stressful load . And emulating the feel of Verona! The swirling, twirling clouds above  Set off the country scene  If you drove those country roads  You would know just what I mean . I relax in my breezy belvedere  To watch the glorious red sun,  I see the city pigeons veer,  I mark the tower sparrows run . In the array of people I felt a whiff of air. The sweet aroma of tender feelings spreading it's flare. Was it someone whispering Or just my thoughts retracting into a lair? Then I  turned around and looked near and far I Spotted a smiling girl. She said her name was 'childhood' Holding in her hands was she an oyster of nostalgic pearls!!! Holding in her hands was she an oyste...

The faceless admirer, living in a world of anonymity! Has disguised himself within a cloud of tranquillity! Don't let this  disguise become too real,  Fantasy and facts so surreal! Your disguise is now the new you Might vanish like a drop of morning dew! Are you  too scared to be your true you?  And come out in the open world so blue! Willingly don't  discard your  existence and Replace it with nothing. Afterall the face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its mediator so loving!!! Maneesha Purandare WGC 5.7.17

Softness of the petals and the dew in it's arms  Azure of the sky with the luminous clouds The riverbanks studded with sprawling lush farms The birds twitter both silent and aloud . My kids with their gleaming smiles Cheerful and kind friends Diligent and caring partner Thank you mom and dad for bringing me into this world. Thank you Lord for gifting me with this precious gift of Life.... Dedicated to my friends & family

Infatuated was she with his style and the looks. Her heart experiencing emotions unwritten in any of the books. Enthralled was she with his soft spoken nature Leaving an expression of pleasure in each and every of her feature. There was attraction, and a strong sense of affection . Enough to gather accolades and felicitation. Consumed with desire and captivated in love. Drenched in warmth and fondness from within above. Enamoured with love she fell in his arms Oblivious to  the farfetched danger alarms. Bewitched with admiration  and besotted  with wine. Loss of control was no longer confined. Such was the calamity and bigger was the distress. Her misconduct brought a blight on their happiness. The damage done by her deed was irreparable. Leaving fondness, warmth and  affection inconsolable. Leaving fondness , warmth and  affection inconsolable.... MKP WGC 25.12.15 Background. ..It's about  mistakes that we do in love and it'...

Dying fire of passion Shut inside my room Shattering the window Here I was singing out your name Caring less about people around and afore Is it craziness or is it insanity? Is it witchcraft or a dark cast spell? I feel like a ship caught in a whirlwind Torn is the oyster from its shell. Sitting in the balcony,sobbing in the dark Crying out your name aloud Wishing you were here Waiting for your call like a lark. You asked me, " why does it have to be extreme?" "Why can't you be normal?" It's you and your personaa That sets this aria into a  phenomenal choral! I fight away these feelings hard Trying desperately  to stay aloof But in comes your magical thought Hey dear this is reality not a spoof. Ask me to stop , I shall freeze If you want me gone I shall leave. But don't do it so ruthlessly Have some pity on you and me.. Just tell me once that I meant atleast something toyou just for a fraction of a second or a relentless ...

लागली ठेच माझ्या पायआला तोंडून उफ़्फ़ देखील नाही आले स्वयंपाकातील चटके अलगदच झेलले संसाराच्या राहाट गाड्याचे अमुलाग्र चाक मी झाले भिंगरीच चक्र माझे आपसूकच फिरत राहिलं अगणित तुषारांनी भिजून देखील कोरडेच मन माझे पाण्याने तुडुंब  भरून देखील रिक्त हे घट माझे "शोना" अशा तुझ्या हुंकाराने चैतन्य दुथडी bharun वाहे कोणीतरी आपुले आहे सदैव  काळजी करायला मन हे घाली साद . दुसर्यांच्या    सुखदुखाआत bhaag घेण्याच लागलाय मला ध्यास Nip चित ह्या कायेला चिरंतन सुख lab हेय हळुवार बोल तुझे अजूनही मंत्रमुग्ध करती

I want to live not just exist I only wanted to have a friend Talking about the day gone by ,from start till the end Letting  my heart flutter all  the way Waiting for your reactions play away. Deep down I must have always known That it would be inevitable to let go and strive alone I know I'm not the only one Who is in this struggled situation Feeling pain deep inside the heart and lost  in my own cocoon with endless trepidations . I wish I could see you a little more Leaving my heart not so sore I feel like my life is passing by And all I can do is watch and cry I miss you , I miss your feel This wounded heart is hard to heal Life once was a celebration Don't know how it came to such an altercation? With my smooth flowing  boat now struggling to sail.. Alienating my familiar streets to untrodden paths and trails. I wipe my tears and watch the rainbow The pot of wealth under , will it  stay or will it go? I want to reach there, I want ...

हलकेच तिची बट कोण सावरुनी गेले  ? मधाळ ओठांना कोण चूम्बूनी गेले ? पाषाणातील झरा आज मारे  उंच  भरारी आकाशातील इंद्रधनू मात्र धरेला कवेत घ्याया  झेपवी. घट्ट बाहू  थकले उचलुनी अगणित  ओझे मणामणाचे ऋण लेवून मन  मात्र अतीव सझले कोणाची चाहूल होती ती,  कोण  बरे हुंकारले ? हुरहुरत्या मनाला  हे सोपेच कोडे ना उलगडे  निपचित कायेवरुनी जणू हळुवार  मोरपीस फिरले  अंधारातील साउली  ला आज चैतन्य हे लाभले अंधारातील साउली  ला आज चैतन्य हे लाभले... मनीषा पुरंदरे ४.१०.१५ WGC
