AS THE CLOCK STRIKES TWELVE...

These days, as the clock strikes 12,i go to bed
taking with me, some old memories, in my head.
It reminds me of the time when i used to get bliss
and also think of someone whom i dearly miss.

These days, as the clock strikes 12,i remember some moments of elation
which i used to get whenever with someone i used to've a conversation.
Though after each call, it used to leave me wanting for more
i didnt know that the other i had left feeling bore.

These days, as the clock strikes 12,i sometimes begin to wonder
about the reasons, why our relation got broken and got asunder.
Was it that by my dealings, she never felt or got impress
so that she moved on without giving me a reason to express.

These days, as the clock strikes 12,i try hard to go to sleep
as it is difficult to console my heart that is out to weep.
No longer will be on my lips, someone’s familiar name
and for my indifference, i have to take the blame.

IF YOUR VOICE,I COULD HEAR...

The night is cruel and i can’t sleep
all alone, the heart is out to weep.
Atleast if i've to dispel all my fear
it would be your voice that i want to hear.

Forever, you will remain my baby
and whatever you say, would be a lullaby.
I know that you are somewhere far, yet near
and so i wish, your voice, if i could hear.

I remember those talks whenever we used to hiss
and at times, you used to plant me a kiss.
Atleast for me, i want certain things to be clear
and to feel that,i wish, your voice, if i could hear.

Someone like you, i won’t get for sure
as the love you've and persona is pure.
Yet i wish that you become my forever dear
regarding it,i wish, your voice, if i could hear.

ONE MONTH ON.....

Its been a month since the "demise"
and still my heart lets out cries.
The mind is unable to keep away
from thoughts that comes its way.







In front of all,i try to put a veil
so that none see me let out a wail.
Each time it hits me that my angel
i was unable to understand her well.










It worries me about tomorrow's sake
as to what direction life will take.
Its sure that she wont take me back
even if i confess that she,i lack.


Ever second of the day goes slow
and still answers i want to know.
Unrest is there as passes every moment
and surpresses feelings that are vehement.

But someone apparently is at "peace"
though my feelings for her,wont cease.
All that i can do is reminiscence and write
without caring whether its wrong or right.

THE MOBILE COUNTER...

On the floor, whenever hither and dither, I wander

my eyes fall on something there in the corner.

That’s where i used to recharge a number 9********0

so that in her heart, I could always remain a hero.

That was done, for presence in my life, as a gratification

apart from ensuring that there would be continued communication.

All that i used to do was a "chota"recharge for Rs 30

sadly for all that i did, she deemed me to be someone thrifty.

Being in touch, those days, for both, was really vital

and this recharges used to be some sort of a ritual.

This i did whenever i had money a little excess

so that,atleast by this, she would get impress.

Alas, now that she has gone away, has left me sad

as i thought she was the best anyone could've had.

Slowly and steadily, the familiar counter,i pass

in my heart, I silently mourn her loss.

I WONDER WHERE THEY ARE....

Not long ago, here, a couple used to sit
love on their faces, always used to be lit.
Now it is many days they've come this way
and so wonder, nowadays, where are they.

Around the park, arm in arm, they would go about and walk
and seat themselves here so that their eyes could talk.
I was the lone witness to hear what all they had to say
but from a long time i wonder, where are they.

In each other's love, they would go on to bask
thinking that separating them was a Herculean task.
Though they might've not known what in the future lay
still offlate I cant help to wonder, where are they.

They were the best couple i had known
and without their presence, I feel alone.
As i want to see them come back what may
hope I’ll never have to wonder where are they.

TWO PEOPLE...

Whenever, here and there, i see two people
i wonder how God decided to make them a couple.
Is is that, to each other, they are so nice
or is it that they have done some compromise??

Whenever, here and there, i see two people
i wonder how God decided to make them a couple.
Will they really be in each other's high and low
or is it that they are their just for others, to show??

Whenever, here and there, i see two people
i wonder how God decided to make them a couple.
What now,on their faces and heart, they’ve felicity
will it remain with them, i wonder, till eternity??

Whenever, here and there, i see two people
i wonder how God decided to make them a couple.
Will it be necessary for them, night and day
to each other, those three magical words, say???

INTERNET-BANE OF OUR TIMES....

Of our time, internet can be termed as a bane
as unnecessarily it causes us a lot of pain.
Instead of being a source of communication
it is turning out slowly to be a distraction.

Of our time, internet can be termed as a bane
in someways,it has gone on to make them vain.
Instead of making they come more nearer
by bringing disputes, its made them farther.

Of our time, internet can be termed as a bane
no longer people seek to be in their familiar lane.
On the pretext of having an online chat or talk
they would forget to meet and together walk.

Of our time, internet can be termed as a bane
as without it, few people cease to be sane.
In the hope of getting from it, some pleasure
they forget the offliners one's that we cant measure.

NEVER DENY MY LOVE...

The inevitable day will come when we've to move ahead
and memories may still remain in the heart and head.
Atleast i hope that you would accept me as someone real
and of my love to you, if asked of, dont make a denial.

In us we had so much of a tangible difference
which i thought for our relation, be an essence.
Even though things fell apart and appeared to be surreal
hope, in future, of my love to you, you dont make a denial.

I regarded you, in my life, more than any queen
whom i thought, I’ll get happiness umpteen.
Though i failed in my attempts to make you regal
atleast of my love to you,dont make a denial.

May be, due to certain complexities, to each other, we couldn’t suit
or is that the efforts i put, never got to ripe and bear fruit.
Now i regret what all i did to please you was trivial
yet of my love, if asked of,dont make a denial.

WAS I JUST A TIME PASS????

You leaving me, no doubt, has left me upset
and i take the blame for myself not being set.
Yet i want to know was i nowhere a match to your class
for you to decide that with me, you just do a time pass.

Having feelings for you, i hope i committed no offence
as i thought that i would get help from providence.
Yet i cant understand why that among the mass
why did he make you to treat me like a time pass.

I know i didn’t show you the path filled with pelf
and this was apparently the foolishness of myself.
That’s why you started to refer me from "Iam" to "I was"
which i failed to realize then that i was a time pass.

Thoguh my heart and mind has all got a scar
and memories of mine, if any, you may go to mar
tell me one thing candidly today, oh lass
was i something for you or just a time pass.

WILL "I" GET SOMEONE BETTER???

Though i knew that you wanted someone who was rich
my love, for you, was true though i was only a zilch.
Ever since you left me, I want to only one answer
after you, in my life, will i get someone better?

Maybe for you, i always remained that ultimate option
as you had many from whom you could do a selection.
Though i cant no longer dream of a future together
i want to know after you, in my life, will i get someone better?

All that i could do was to write works by being a bard
as how all to please, efforts i tried really very hard.
Even if you felt all that was nothing but just flatter
whether, after you, in my life, will i get someone better?

Perhaps to your lifestyle, I would not have got suit
as i must have not tried for the forbidden fruit.
Even if it means my death, I will ask the creator
as to,after you, in my life, will i get someone better?

SIMPLICITY-IS IT A FALLACY OF OUR OF TIMES???

INTRODUCTION:

Earlier was the mantra that one would remain simple
so that in life, they got happiness that was ample.
Now in the present, if you are that, people accuse
that it is a weakness that one has and is a recluse.

Few may, for the best clothes, not have the need
and want to show that they dont have any greed.
Yet at a party, when they are mocked for simplicity
just because for a brand they didn’t have the necessity.

A miniscule might not be keen on watching any flick
as something in it, in their mind, may never go to click.
Just because they have other ways to derive felicity
why should they be left alone as they are bound by simplicity?

For the blessed, they would like to hear what their loved one's talk
or hand in hand, going around with them, on a long trail, for a walk.
Yet by not taking them elsewhere upsets the relation's gravity
does it mean that joys should not be backed by simplicity.?

To those who matter the most and we cant think to forget
we may feel that there is no need to blow one's trumpet.
Though offlate, it maybe present in people as a rarity
still why is it jibed at by the world as plain simplicity?

CONCLUSION:

If simplicity is continued to be deemed as a crime
God knows what is going to happen at the end of time.
Hope some day people will somehow eventually realize
that being plain in life also, one can still rejoice.

WILL YOU LEAVE THEM FOR ME???

You are someone with friends umpteen
by which,to your persona, it adds a sheen.
If you still think,in future, we can be
i want to know will you leave them for me.

In your mind, i may be the most insensitive
but the reality is that they make me pensive.
Though how to make you understand, iam at sea
still i want to know will you leave them for me.

It is true that it is difficult to get a true friend
and one must make efforts that they still the end.
Incase we are together and come in between our moments of glee
i want to know whether will you leave them for me.

A day may come when things may turn bitter
but the intention will be to know each other better.
So if i were to force it upon you like a decree
i want to know will you leave them for me.

THE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER'S STORY.....

Based on a local folklore [:D]

Long ago, in a kingdom, there lived a princess
who, from far and wide, people tried to impress.

There were lots, her name, who used to chant
as in their lives, they eagerly had her want.

Being brought up amidst all sort of luxury
had made the princess detest any form of penury
She refused to thread on the path of compromise
thinking that it was not something nice.

All that she did was to lead a life being carefree
and sidelining things that she didn’t want to see.
Joyous she wanted to be and that was the mantra of her life
and so people around took care so that she never saw strife.

But one day, God decided, as came the dawn
that an angel's role, the princess, to don.
So, he sent her to the life of a simpleton
to make her aware of others worries and fun.

The path was different and in no ways cozy
in no time, the princess started to feel uneasy.
All that she had was wings and wand of an angel
and her difficulties, she had none to tell.

Atleast the pauper thought, the angel,he could impress
and one day, his latent wishes,to her, could express.
For this,he went about, day and night to just toil
without knowing one day, his dreams, the angel, would foil.

All this happened soon as came a u-turn
the angel had to like the princess, return.
The time with the pauper, she didn’t want to look back
as all that she saw what all he had a lack.

Though the angel, the pauper, from his life, went to loose
atleast in his heart, she remained as his eternal muse.
In this world, where all mattered was luxury and money
he regretted that he couldn’t make his destiny.

His worth, by the time the princess understood, he was a legend
as she came to know late and when time had come to an end.
Even though it is is know whether the story is realistic
but its a fact that even now people are materialistic.

DOES GOD REALLY MAKE THINGS HAPPEN???

The bane of taking birth as a mortal
are the struggles one sees that are real.
Though people are there in the continents seven
yet for everyone, does God really make things happen?

A few of our Gods maybe blissfully in trance
or with angels and nymphs, out on a dance.
Whatever it maybe the reasons, dime a dozen
yet for everyone, does God really make things happen?

For some people's presence, we may repeatedly chant
as our lives are incomplete without that want.
If we still feel that is the way life can enliven
yet for everyone, does God really make things happen?

But sometimes, everything looks a farce and lies
as the obstacle put across is so huge in size.
For a slight while, if we were to loose the vision
yet for everyone, does God really make things happen?

End of the day and every night, it is hard to sleep
as on certain things, reality makes the heart to weep.
The only salvation from it would be to go to heaven
yet for everyone, does God really make things happen?

WHY DO I THINK ITS YOU???

In the crowd when iam feeling all alone
there is a single face i would've known
still when i see people who are new
seeing someone else why do i think its you?

These days, like never before i walk
but like before, there is none to talk.
Whenever the wind has come and blew
in the breeze why do i think its you?

Couples i see walking in each other's arm
on their faces can be seen love that is warm.
Though i wish that someone got attached to me like glue
of all persons i see and know, why do i think its you?

Whenever i go to think about the past
it reminds of our relation that didn’t everlast.
The reasons why, even now,i don’t have a clue
and for breaking it, why do i think its you?

DO YOU STILL GIVE ME A THOUGHT???

Do you still give me a thought
after all the times, we’ve fought.
All that i do results in me feeling guilt
and by every passing minute, it goes to the hilt.

Some differences, even now, we can sort
if you still give me a thought .
When the world is a place so cruel
it is your love, for me, that is vital.

For me, now and then, you were the best
and sadly, we had to endure a bitter test.
On a serious note, if you still give me a thought
someday in future, we may still tie the knot.

Else, If i come back looking for you in my next life
even then, i may be surrounded by a lot of strife
and may not be, like before, that very smart
yet will you still give me a thought??

A WIDOWER'S MUSINGS.....

Maybe on me, destiny was not meant to be kind
certain memories are still ingrained in the mind.
Happiness i was never meant, in this life, get
for which all i can do is to sit back and regret.

A lifetime, i thought, i would have her
in her absence, how much i am out to suffer.
By her "death", all that i stood to gain
was endurance and in my heart, only pain.

To me, forever she was meant to be a gem
whom i never wanted to undergo bedlam.
All those memories we shared, goes to hurt
especially whenever with her, I was curt.

Though i've lost my share of forty wink(s)
i would've never missed her for one link
that i still have the child we conceive(d)
by which there would some love i receive.

Everything will look less, how much, about you, i tell
as for me,then,now and forever, you were my angel.
Had fortuned favoured me during this life
i would've indebted to have you as my wife.

All that i seek is redemption for all the sin
which all i committed so that, to heaven, I can get in.
Atleast,i hope when we meet at the gates of heaven
our lives, let us relive and try to enliven.

When i meet you high above, this is what i hope
that in front of the Gods and demons, we’ll elope.
We will lead our lives beside each other forever
next time, I’ll ensure that i'll follow you to the pyre.

WHEN TWO HEARTS COME TOGETHER.....

Inspired by the news that two of my ex-classmates are getting married shortly [:D]

When two hearts decide to come together
it is a willingness that want to've a future.
This would involve accepting each other's kith and kin
and being in situations that are thick and thin.

When two hearts decide to come together
it is a willingness that want to've a future.
Apart from agreeing to be husband and wife
it would entail being loyal throughout life.

When two hearts decide to come together
it is a willingness that want to've a future.
Just to see on the other, a beaming smile
it may involve doing and going the extra mile.

When two hearts decide to come together
it is a willingness that want to've a future.
Apart from catering to each other's necessity
it is a journey that one undertakes till eternity.

AS I RETRACE....

Those days, I would just wait for the weekend
so that, only with you, time, i could spend.
All those memories we shared, I cant efface
so i go about and each of the path, I retrace.

Guess for you, those memories were not vital
as i always felt that time, for me, was memorable.
I remember how much i used to be awe of your grace
which i recollect as each of the path, I retrace.

On me i always had this apprehension
and till the end, remained that last option.
In some ways, i know, i didn’t give you the space
maybe that’s were i erred as each of the path, I retrace.

Now during my free time, one thing i can’t resist
is to, all our "adda's",i go about and visit.
In each spot, i see if i can see your face
as i go about and each of the path, I retrace.

MISGIVINGS..(SUGGEST A BETTER TITLE)

Hope u’r employer doesn’t indulge in things like these[;)]

Directly inspired by the ongoing SATYAM episode..[:P]

What runs in the mind of those who do wrong
as how they will be able to face the throng.
Looks like they have not got any conscience
in them when they were created by providence.

Don’t they, in them, have an iota of guilt
as due to this, balances would've got tilt.
Would not all these in the mind creep
and not allow them, at nights, to sleep??

Offlate,we hear what has happened to a company
wherein it involves stakeholders who are so many.
All misgivings, how could they manage to brush aside
and see to that their CEO could escape and hide??

Misappropriation might happen in the balance sheet
and affects everyone right from the CEO's seat.
One wonders at the fate of an individual employee
as how society,henceforth,will begin to see.

When the Human Resource working are deemed as an asset
these happenings would make them feel really abject
that one day, their company that used to stand tall
has met its end and has had a showdown and fall.

Let this fiasco, to others, be a learning lesson
so that nothing happens like this in any season.
Profit let it not be the factor for companies to be proud
so that employees have something else to stand out in the crowd.

A WILD NIGHT....

The atmosphere is serene and wild is the night
and yet, i would've seen you sitting with fright.
Love is what, iam sure, that i would go to show
as weariness, I wouldn’t never want to seen on your brow.

The atmosphere is serene and wild is the night
and i would've wished to make love, with all my might.
Atleast i would hoped, that by a feel of my prowess
you would've been able to, on me, slightly impress.

The atmosphere is serene and wild is the night
and in your arms, I would have felt lost and night.
Even if all my bones, you would've gone onto break
i wouldn’t mind as from your embrace, I dont want to wake.

The atmosphere is serene and wild is the night
alas, now to me, you are nowhere at all in sight.
I know not, to whose arms, you were out to run
as i repent for the mistakes that i had done.

WEEKENDS...

Those days, whenever used to come the weekend
i wanted to be with you much more than any friend
Though the time you used to give me was scarce
it was love that i wanted to see on your face.

Those days, whenever used to come the weekend
it used to be like an opportunity godsend.
Thought i that there was no need for a better flick
than our own presence to make our relation to tick.

Those days, whenever used to come the weekend
my ears and shoulders, I always used to lend.
As in each other's love, we would go onto bask
separating us, i felt, would be a Herculean task.

Those days, whenever used to come the weekend
i never thought one day all this would end.
You deserting me, I don’t say was wrong or right
as all i can do is to reminiscence and write.

BLACK AND WHITE....

The whole world, to me, seems to be black and white
as some thoughts keep on haunting me day and night.
Unfortunately, there is no one, for it, to take blame
and the hurt that life is never going to be the same.

Looks like i will never be able to sight the elusive dawn
and from certain things, i wont be able to easily move on.
Everything i do, it'll always be in black and white
as i would have lost to carry on an ongoing fight.

The horizon i seek looks so far out of reach and sight
as the path looks hazy and has hues of black and white.
Yet those who troubled me, to them, trouble never come
and may they find a footing amidst all this mayhem.

Still in the mind and heart, all i can do, is feel irate
as all my hopes and dreams, like water, got to quickly evaporate.
Someday i pray that my future will shine and always be bright
and start to see things that are beyond black and white.

EVERY SIP THAT I DRINK....

As usual, every sip that i take and go to drink
i know that iam threading towards disaster's brink.
About me, i don’t have even the slightest care
as i know that life, for me, will go nowhere.

As usual, every sip that i take and go to drink
about why something’s happened, it is yet to sink.
Though i knew that i was always destined for strife
i felt somewhere there would some happiness in life.

As usual, every sip that i take and go to drink
some incidents to happen, I am unable to get the link.
Then why did that GOD, someone, he thought and sent
so that about my feelings i sit back, write and vent.

As usual, every sip that i take and go to drink
many of my shortcomings, comes back as i think.
The more i contemplate, it makes me to brood
as more than one occasion i had been rude.

RECESSION…

Of our times, it is turning out to be the biggest bane
to get rid, how much efforts, we put, all are in vain
as in everyone’s life, it is an unexpected apprehension
that they don’t affected by this menace called RECESSION.

It has been coming like a recurring scare
and has emerged just like that from nowhere.
Hence, it has made one and all to worry
as none want to sit back and feel sorry.

Worldwide, jobs are going to be at stake
that too when their future they are going to make.
When time is money and for all very precious
hope it doesn’t leave anyone penurious.

Few of them are unlucky to be in this stage
as about this, they might have never envisage
that their instability would have made their partner
to leave them thinking they don’t have a future.

But amidst all this, will surely usher in one day
when people will start to feel, like before, happy and gay.
For this all we can do is stay hopeful and be agile
that very soon all can start to beam a smile.

So, to one and all, our support, let us lend
as a bad phase like this, is bound to end.
As we go on flashing the victory sign
let us wish that there will be cloud nine.

ONE DAY....

One day, in future, you will shed a tear
and I’ll be there, to you, nowhere near.
By then, hopefully you'll realize my worth
and without me around, you 'll have the dearth.

One day, in future, you will shed a tear
and I’ll be there, to you, nowhere near.
You will regret why you treated me as nuisance
that too when you need the most my presence.

One day, in future, you will shed a tear
and I’ll be there, to you, nowhere near.
I just pray that peace is their in your soul
and health and happiness, never take its toll.

One day, in future, you will shed a tear
and I’ll be there, to you, nowhere near.
Hope then, you'll realize was, so true
and i tried to make you special among the few.

AS I LOOK BACK…

Inspired by Prat’s work

http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#CommMsgs.aspx?cmm=1538&tid=5286142630076928625

JANUARY & FEBRUARY:

From the year’s start and the very beginning
I knew that it was a start, in my career, a new inning
as for a new employer, I had to overlook a zone
by being all independent and on my own.

It took to me to places geographically I knew
and made me gain experiences that were new.
What all I saw and did, there was always one link
as all that faithfully, I sat and went on to ink.

MARCH & APRIL:

To see, on an ex-flame’s face, a smile
I traveled literally the extra mile.
Though new friend’s, easily I made
like others before, adieu, to me, they’ve bade.

My works, many of them, used to give a glance
and to someone, specially, I said a THANKS.
Little did I know that something was in store
as I would get in return, lots and much more.

MAY & JUNE:

These were the months of continued confusion
as in the mind, daily, there would be apprehension.
It was becoming difficult for me to sight the dawn
as I debated, whether, from a place, I must move on.

It was then I started getting a slight feeler
that there was someone in place, that was near
who genuinely wanted good to happen in my life
and would make efforts so that I never see strife.

JULY & AUGUST:

Keeping in mind a “future”, I took a decision
that I finally go about doing this relocation.
Initially it made me feel so good and joyous
that by doing that, I had got something precious.

Yet it was going to be a real Herculean feat
as somehow I had to stand back on my feet.
All efforts that I put, were all with vigour
maybe I was backed by someone’s power.

SEPTMBER & OCTOBER:

Our relation, we made it go through an acid test
though by moving away, put the mind to unrest.
Thankfully without much ado, I got a platform
so that once again, I could myself strive to perform.

Yet for something, all my efforts I went to try
would just leave me with a feeling to sigh.
My dreams seemed to be all in a sort of mess
as someone special’s heart, I couldn’t impress.

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER:

Came the day when life took an u-turn
and the bitter truth I soon got to learn
that all our hopes and desires, we had to bury
and move away before each of us had to feel sorry.

Though candidly about the last year, here, I tell
maybe to certain things, I was unable to jell.
Atleast it gave me moments laced with pain and joy
that I have always endured since the time I was a boy.

MUSINGS ON PEOPLE...(SUGGEST A BETTER TITLE)

Though people may share a common first name
there would so many things that aren’t the same.
How much ever, on them, you may do an inspection
one would go by what they believe by perception.

While sending them, god knows what all he took
to give them an appearance by which others look
so that not only others are able to differentiate
but also avoid confusion that may go out to create.

Though in all ways, from others they would be unique
it would be unjustified, on them, if we were to critique.
What they are, may make someone, on them, feel affable
and by their company feel that every moment is memorable.

For some unfortunate few, it is a question of extreme size
but still its in the beholder's eye that true beauty lies
and so whatever maybe the issue due to even their stature
everything seems to fall in place due to their good nature.

It is only when, about the other, everything is known
that a relation, like a sapling, can be slowly grown.
For people, at that moment, it is more than a new life
as a commitment would mean standing by both joy and strife.

Still at times, looks some don’t have the benediction
and hence are left without much of a suitable option.
So, they may've compromise in life as to what they get
or curse their luck, brood and silently think to regret.

Yet, providence works out a balance that is so nice
by bringing a WIN-WIN situation through a compromise.
If in their hearts, good about each other, they feel
it would be real happiness and unlike what you see in reel.

So, whatever kind of people, in our life, we get to know.
our best self, at all times, let us try and always show
so that our value, they'll realize, time and again, very much
and by their affection and love, our hearts, they will touch.

AS I READ YOUR LAST E-MAIL..

Those days it was the only source of communication
for which, both used to wait with all anticipation.
What used to be the contents and what it had to entail
is all which i reminiscence as i read your last e-mail.

Each and every one, in their own way, mattered so very much
that in different ways, my heart, those days, had got touch.
Atleast during the time, when we decided that contact we curtail
how all i endured i recollect, as i read your last e-mail.

Reasons fail me or is that i lacked the knack
to patch it all when our relation developed a crack.
Though you had, long before,to the coffin,hit the nail
what all went through,i reminiscence as i read your last e-mail.

The time we spent, though few,is all intact in my memory
as till we meet next birth, they will remain as a treasury.
Still, for what all mistakes i did, all i can do is to wail
which comes back to me as i reminiscence and i read your last e-mail.

AS DAWNS 2009....

Very soon, the new year is out to usher
i just pray that none this time, suffer.
Hope they atleast get some share of cloud nine
as very soon will dawn on them the year 2009.

It maybe the year when there might be recession
which may reflect on their faces as tension.
Hope something’s get better for them just like wine
as very soon will dawn on them the year 2009.

In some ways, may look hard the way to success
and to attain it, some joys, we may've to repress.
Atleast that will be the mantra of mine
as very soon will dawn on the year 2009.

Things will surely go on in a real fast pace
and the world will shrink to a much smaller place.
Hope, for people, certain things will be fine
as very soon will dawn on them the year 2009.
