Dubai

I want to be soaked in not the heat,

But in the warmth of this place.

I want to be lost

In this country's beautiful maze.

I want to feel the water calling me,

And run & run & run in the sea.

I want to play in the sand,

And run about these dunes so grand.

I want to go till the top of Burj-Khalifa,

However many floors that may be.

I want to indulge in this place's delights,

Preferably for free.

I want to be part of this place's culture,

And tradition as well.

I want to hear all the stories

This place has to tell.

I want to shop from the malls,

And from the streets too.

I want to see for myself

If the legends of this place are all true.

I want to do all this,

And much much more.

One thing I know for sure,

Is that of this place, I will never get bored.

I want to experience this place.

I want to enjoy this place.

I want to feel this place.

I want to live Dubai.

The Newfangled

A new thing,
How much happiness it does bring!

When you slowly open it,
And reveal it's shining skin.

Like a new born baby,
It is taken care of.
You boast about it,(cough, cough!)

You use it quite happily for a few days,
Or a few months even,
But soon you want something else,
Trust me, I have gone through this phase myself.

And as each day passes,
Newer versions become more and more popular with the masses.
You want it badly,
But you already have one (sadly).

You keep convincing yourself,
The thing isn't as bad as it seems.
It feels as though,
Fighting inside you there are two teams.

A bit later,
A new collection is added to the stock.
Realizing what a big fool you are,
Gives you quite the shock.

The truth is,
It is a never ending chain,
One thing after another,
Is always desired by the brain,

Even if you buy the best,
Sooner or later, a better thing will come out next.
You'll crave for it, you'll want it,
But just think once, 'do I really need it?'

If you sulk for things,

You'll never be happy.
But if you are content with what you have instead,
In life you'll always go ahead!

Am I Really Happy

Abiding by people's mindsets,
And not listening to my own heart,
Will I listen to myself,
Before I fall apart?

With a roof above my head,
And more money than I can spend,
A wardrobe full of designer clothes,
And everything I want I suppose,
I sometimes wonder-
'Am I really happy?'

Doing what I feel,
Having lavish food for each meal,
Living a girl's dream,
My life, amazing it does seem,
I sometimes wonder-
'Am I really happy?'

So what is happiness actually meant to be?
To answer my question, I look around me.

I see two people together,Walking on dirty land,
They look happy,
As long as they are hand in hand.
LOVE is happiness!
Love is bliss!  

I see a few friends celebrating,
Cutting and eating cake,
Which one of the friends,
Herself did bake.
TOGETHERNESS is happiness!
Togetherness is bliss!

I see a person without any money,
Or even a house to stay,
She had a bad day,
Yet she seems happy,
She helped someone out,
Her actions made her happy, no doubt!

I have got my answer-
Happiness comes from what you do,
This is true.
