  How can one describe enlightenment? I mean atleast a few words about how it would feel like!!

  Enlightenment is like freedom perhaps, atleast when i think or imagine it!

  Yes, sands of time, the freedom part seems very key, doesn't it? :)
  I'd also add that perhaps when one is enlightened, it is like they have awakened spiritually after a long time asleep. (or otherwise detached from the present, or from knowing)

  It's an inner tranquility, a calm river undisturbed by the mightiest storm.

  Being who you are and not putting up a front. Too many people are play acting.
  
  There are a few moments in my life that i have felt completely at ease and enjoying the moment. Those moments have always stayed with me and I long for more.

  I think Enlightenment is contentment and confidence in your being and everything as a whole. Nothing can ruffle you or your mind from being fully aware and conscious.
  
  ...that's what i think ;]

  In poetry, song, music - no words.
  No mind.
  Different everytime time, though.

  In the midst of non-freedom there would be absolute stillness. In the midst of impermanence there would be
  no clinging. In the midst of the present moment there would be a telescopic awareness.
