THE ROOT CAUSE OF FEAR!!
Recently, in an interview, I was asked, “What is the root cause of fear?”
I said, “Undoubtedly, LOVE.”
The interviewers looked at me, skeptically, and said, “please justify.”
And thus I began………………
.
“There’s just no fear, when one has nothing to lose.” This is a maxim heard so often. And it’s probably, one of the very few ones that I find realistic and acceptable.
Have we ever wondered why we fear the terrorists or any other anti-social element, for that matter? Why do we fear our children travelling in crowded trains or buses? Why do we fear every time our children don’t return our calls or don’t reach home on time? Or why do we fear when our spouse is stressed about work? Why?
There’s a simple four-letter word that is, according to me, the root cause of all kinds of fear :: LOVE!
It is to be noted that LOVE is the root cause of fear, but it isn’t the cause of “phobia” or obsessive fears that are related to the psyche. Anyways, what makes me say that love causes fear? So, in order to combat fear, should we just not love anyone? Sounds strange! You must be wondering that, here are people trying to make us love mankind, and here I am, advocating just the opposite. But am I really advocating that? That’s a different question altogether, that isn’t much relevant here.
So, back to the statement I made earlier: “love is the root cause of the smallest of fears, to the greatest ! ”
Here are a few examples that make me think so ::
Consider a guy in love with a girl. He “fears” asking her out. He “fears” calling her up daily, though he wants to, because he “fears” that she’ll know that he loves her. Every morning, he “fears” that someone else has proposed to her and that she’s gone forever. Now suppose, the guy gets the girl. Then he starts “fearing” that her parents would come to know, his parents would come to know, and their relationship wouldn’t last. What does this tell? “love causes fear.”. now suppose, the guy doesn’t get the girl. Leave apart the pain of heartbreak, but at least, there’s no fear. He doesn’t “fear” texting her or calling her daily because there’s nothing to lose. And that takes me back to the first statement of my answer, “there’s just no fear when one has nothing to lose.”
Now here’s a story depicting mother-child love, and of course, the resulting fear. A child travels by train daily, and suppose, we are talking about few days post-7/11 when mutiple blasts had rocked the city of mumbai. A mother wants her child to give her a “miss-call” everytime he reaches college. And the child is an adult who can take care of oneself, yet there’s “fear” in the eyes of his or her mother. The security has been beefed up in the city and every one knows that the trains would not be targetted again. Yet, there is “fear.” The same scenario is applicable to all those wives whose husbands travel for work and vice-versa. The “fear”, though unnecessary, exists because “love” exists.
No one cares if some unknown person dies. This is evident by the apathy shown by people whenever they see someone dead on the road. There’s, obviously, a moment’s prayer but more importantly, it results in “fear”…fear that their loved ones too, could meet the same fate. Isn’t that why every mother wants her child to drive cautiously? There’s fear, because there’s love.
This was all about the small, mundane fears. Let’s look at the larger picture. We fear our country being attacked because we love our country. We fear the anti-social elements, not because we “hate” them, but because we “love” our country. It may be safe to say, that in this case, even the root cause of “fear” of the terrorists, “fear” of hijacks, fear of bomb-blasts, “fear” of loss of national integrity, is “love” for the country, “love” for the people, “love” for mankind.
And I concluded, emphatically with the statement, “ Thus, I say, love is the root cause of all kinds of fears. Hence, proved and justified.”..............
P.s… Luckily, the panel didn’t have any counter-question in mind and blindly accepted my hypothesis, but I am sure, you have. Each one of you has a right to question my thinking, and counter my opinions that I have put forth here. There’s just one condition:: You need to give me an answer along with a simple, logical explanation (please note, do not give me psyche related answers, coz we are talking about fears, not phobias) to the most frequently asked question, “WHAT CAUSES FEAR?”

JUST NOT MADE FOR EACH OTHER!!
It was nice to meet you,
It was nice to know you,
But we can’t have a future together,
We are just not made for each other,
I know you love me,
And it’s deeper than the sea,
Or bigger than the universe,
And growing with every passing instance,
I know you’ll make me smile,
You won’t let me be sad, even for a while,
But we can’t have a future together,
We are just not made for each other,
I know you must be wishing,
You had a magic wand,
But towards you, I don’t have any romantic feeling,
I do hope you’ll understand,
Always remember, this isn’t the end,
It’s a fresh beginning,
Of a new chapter, of a new inning,
And I hope you’ll soon get a girlfriend,
You are truly a nice guy,
Don’t blame your luck please,
One instance of bad luck shouldn’t make you cry,
Life’s long, your happiness will not cease,
It’s all about withstanding the pain,
So please don't lose hope, keep believing,
There are enough girls waiting,
You’ll get another chance, to fall in love again,
Some things won’t go your way,
But life’s all about living,
With a renewed hope and energy everyday,
That’s how you make this journey magical and exciting………

DON'T WORRY, I'LL ALWAYS BE NEAR!!
I hate you shedding even a single tear,
So please smile,
And drift your mind to,
All the memories happier,
When it was just me and you,
And you’ll feel better, at least for a while,
Do you remember you said once,
You hate and dread silence,
So why aren’t you talking,
And please don’t worry,
Our love will last till eternity,
Just keep believing,
Even if you won’t see my sight,
I assure you, it’ll be all right,
Two years will go faster,
Than you really think,
I’ll be back sooner,
Than you really think,
Who the hell says,
Long distance relationships don’t work,
Baby, we’ll make it work,
Coz we are different,
And remember I am just yours,
And I’ll be, forever and always,
We are meant to be together,
And nothing can stop us dear,
From being in arms of each other,
So don’t be so morose,
Coz I’ll be near,
Holding you close,
Tonight when we physically part,
I want to see you smile,
From your eyes, from your heart,
That’ll prove we’re special,
And we’ll make the next two years,
Look undoubtedly, ephemeral,
We will talk for hours everyday,
And days will pass quickly,
I’ll be back fast,
You just don’t worry,
Our love will last,
Till the end, come what may,
So, my love, give me one last kiss,
And don’t shed a tear,
Coz I’ll always be near,
You’re the one I am going to miss,
But it’ll be all right, don’t worry,
Our love is true; it’ll last till eternity………

LET US COME CLOSER!!
You are the one my heart seeks,
You are the one to whom my mind drifts,
Every moment, every hour,
It really doesn’t matter where you are,
Nothing is perfect, but with you,
My life could be, coz my love is true,
So let us come closer,
Coz we can make it a journey to remember,
With you, I dream of,
Visiting places I’ve never heard of,
I dream about you smiling,
And enjoying, and laughing,
I dream about going to the beach,
Where we had first met,
I want to watch the beautiful sunset,
And count the stars out of our reach,
I dream of texting you,
Daily, many a romantic messages,
I dream of forever, living with you,
And creating many a wonderful memories,
Since I learnt driving,
In my car, I dream about,
Taking you, so often, out,
On a long ride; it would be the best feeling,
I dream about marrying you,
And having cute babies with you,
So let us come closer,
Coz we can make it a journey to remember,
I dream about many future days,
When you’ll perhaps even be shopping in my company,
I won’t criticize you for your shopping ways,
Coz I just want to see you happy,
Dreams are endless,
My love is undoubtedly, bottomless,
So, let us come closer,
Coz we can make it a journey to remember…………

"PRIPU" AND "DUMBO"!! The story of my life!!
I wanted to do an MBA, and that too from one of the IIM’s. Well, how can a “dumbo” like me get into the IIM’s? But there isn’t anything wrong in dreaming, is there?
Dreams have countless meanings,
They give us wings,
They are a new beginning,
Of a new inning,
Dreams will come true,
We have to be patient,
We have to be persistent,
And keep trying till they eventually do,
Dreams give a new energy,
A new enthusiasm to many,
They give a new direction,
To our thinking, to our motion,
We all love to daydream,
But we don’t ever strive hard,
To fulfill them, be a winner,
We just sit back; a retard,
It’s futile dreaming,
If there’s no process,
Of realizing it, of fulfilling,
And climbing the ladders of success,
We all should have big dreams,
As through them we’ll know,
What our life really means,
As in them, the seeds of our future we sow……
We have to be patient,
We have to be persistent,
And keep trying till they eventually do,”
Sometimes, things don’t go the way we want them to, but one thing’s true, “It's all about living a fruitful day today...without thinking about the past...and without fearing the future!!”
This is Neil a.k.a Dumbo, signing off…..and this is the story of my life….

MY MOTHER'S LAP!!
My mother’s lap!!
My mind so often drifts,
To all those wonderful times,
When on my mother’s lap,
Daily I had long naps,
I peacefully slept in her arms,
Smitten by her charm,
She meant the world to me,
And she created for me, a dream world to see,
She recited a variety of tales,
About august kings and their palaces,
I would be so awed, I remember,
And I’ll plead for a story another,
But all I did was hurt her,
By crying and grumbling forever,
Whole night she then held me close,
To prevent me from being morose,
I was so mean to her,
I was nothing but a weed,
Yet she tolerated me, gave me shelter,
Her lap was heaven, indeed,
My mother’s love was unconditional,
To her, I was truly special,
Alas, I didn’t reciprocate,
And throughout her life, I made her wait,
Years passed by,
I just drifted apart from her,
She kept waiting for my love forever,
And one day, in her sleep, she died,
Now I wish I could go back,
To fulfil her dream,
To give her the love I did lack,
I now realize what a bastard I had been,
Slowly I am now being sucked deep,
Into the black hole of self-blame and grief,
Frantically, for her lap I search,
Alas, I can’t find it; I begin to weep……………………
p.s.. the poem's a work of fiction...my mother's alive!!...though what i said about her "lap" and "love" is true!!..cheers!!

FAITH!!

Faith!!
Each day, I feel shudders,
Down my spine,
I try wiping my tears,
But I can’t stop cryin’,
I see humans being blown apart,
Torn and tattered,
Bruised and battered,
As I feel the pain in my heart,
Nothing’s going right,
I don’t feel secure or strong,
It’s futile to resist, to fight,
I don’t know I’ll survive for how long,
They know how to kill,
And they do it at their own will,
Corpses in front of me lay,
All I can do is cry, each day,
Joy, at times comes in disguise,
But never in the form of helpless cries,
No drug can ease this unending pain,
As all my hope for peace goes down the drain,
It’s worse than an apocalypse,
Alas, the world will come to an end,
I pray with stammering lips,
Save us, Lord, our saviour, our friend,
"His" image appears in my mind,
With the light of enlightenment behind,
"He" tells me not to worry but to smile,
The war will end, in a short while,
"His" words were reassuring,
They were immensely calming,
In "Him", we should believe and trust,
Coz soon "His light" will emanate from the earth’s crust………

A DAY I'D ALWAYS REMEMBER!!
A day I’d always remember!!
Rain, at times causes trouble,
To many a commuter,
But that day, my joy grew double,
Yeah, it was a day I’d always remember,
I was travelling back home,
From college, seated in a train,
Listening to my I-pod, all alone,
I was looking out, cursing the incessant rain,
In the same compartment,
Was a girl of about twenty,
And that’s how I first met,
The epitome of beauty,
I wanted to talk to her,
But,I didn’t have the pluck,
I prayed to god, as I glanced at her,
Give me one chance, and some luck,
I saw flashes of lightning,
I heard a roar of thunder,
And I got this weird feeling,
Yeah, God had heard my prayer,
The train abruptly stopped,
She turned pale fast,
Across the compartment I walked,
Don’t worry,I said, the phase will soon be past,
She didn’t seem perturbed,
Talking to a complete stranger,
I patted my back, my charm had worked,
As I wished the moment to last forever,
I was pleased, I was happy,
This was what I wanted,
She seemed to enjoy my company,
As, for the rain to abate, we waited,
Two hours later, the train began moving,
Soon it was time to part,
As I felt a strange feeling,
A pang of sadness in my heart,
It’s been one complete year,
She’s my girlfriend today,
That was a day I’d always remember,
When at last, things had begun to go my way…………

A ROLLER COASTER RIDE!!

A roller coaster ride!!
At times the world seems,
So beautiful in view,
As all the sweetest dreams,
They come true,
On other days I feel,
So alone, so dead,
As choking, gasping, I fight illness,
Lying on my bed,
If I am lucky,
The days pass so quickly,
Yet, on other days,
I feel bored till eternity,
At times I am,
So cheery and jocose,
Yet, on other days I am,
So surly and morose,
Some days I feel,
So complete, I have everything,
Yet, on other days I feel,
I am a nobody, there’s a lot missing,
I wonder why,
There are so many swings,
Of fortune till we die,
Life is a roller coaster ride,it seems,
Life’s all about maintaining,
Sanity and calm,
In times testing,
And smiling in adversity causes no harm,
Life’s all about removing,
The pessimism and all the negative vibe,
It’s all about enjoying,
The adventurous roller coaster ride……………………

THE INFAMOUS HUMAN GREED!!
The infamous human greed!!
In life, I have everything,
Yet I am missing something,
Is it really my need,
Or just the infamous human greed,
I have a stable family,
I have unquantifiable money,
I have unlimited power,
Yet, for more, why is there a hunger,
I am never contented,
With life, always at loggerhead,
It’s only problems that I can see,
But its beauty I fail to perceive,
In life, I have everything,
Yet the world doesn’t seem exciting,
I am wilting like a weed,
All because of the infamous human greed,
I never laugh or smile,
Even for a short while,
I just keep whining,
As the time keeps flying,
Someone once asked me,
What prevents thee from being happy,
That really made me wonder,
It made me introspect and ponder,
I realized, I needed a break short,
To solve the mysteries and seek what I want,
I’ll wander in the pursuit of happiness,
On the path to true, eternal success,
Life is all about understanding,
It’s all about creating,
A stress-free environment, indeed,
It’s all about killing the infamous human greed…….

26/11 - ONE YEAR LATER!!

26/11 – One year later!!
It’s been a year,
Since our lives changed forever,
I still shudder at the mayhem caused,
As beyond our tolerance limits, we crossed,
We’ll go weak in our knees,
They had thought, it seems,
They were mistaken badly,
Coz we united as “Indians” undoubtedly,
They wanted to hurt, they wanted to kill,
They tried to give us many a wound,
That may never heal,
But they failed, like they all should,
They ignited our mind,
To leave religious issues behind,
And fight for the country,
They united us, undoubtedly,
It’s been a year,
Yet the bloodshed,
The pain, the tear,
Is still etched into my head,
I salute the brave cops, the armed force,
Their resilience strong and hoarse,
The saviour from the tormentor,
I thank them again, a year later,
People died, but the hopes were still alive,
India erupted, It came out of its hive,
As harsh words were spoken,
Yes, India had finally woken,
Let us have a moment’s silence,
To commiserate the violence,
Caused by those bastards,
A bunch of unholy cowards,
Today I pray yet again,
For everlasting peace and freedom from fear,
A life without a shed of tear,
A life without an iota of pain……………

MY BEST FRIEND!!
My best friend!!
Her mind seemed clear,
On her face was a fake smile,
Yet in my best friend’s eyes, I saw a tear,
That kept appearing after every short while,
People were consoling her,
But so far, nothing they said,
Seemed to stop her tear,
As for them to leave, I patiently waited,
I had been through this,
I knew how she was feeling,
Her moments that were full of bliss,
Had suddenly transformed into a bitter feeling,
Break-ups are so often life changing,
She must be really distraught,
As it’s really hard to get over something,
One has always sought,
I could see in her eyes,
The pain, the extent of her agony,
She was so weary,I could perceive,
Yet I could give her nothing but sympathy,
I held her hand,
Gently I kissed her forehead,
Life can be cruel, we must understand,
Wiping off her tears, to her I said,
My best friend, life moves on,
Don’t lose hope, keep believing,
Coz there’s no point thinking,
About the things that are gone,
We all love to see a rainbow,
But for that, we have to bear the rain,
Life can give us a hard blow,
But it’s all about withstanding the pain,
I told her a small story,
About a little boy who wanted,
A pair of shoes fancy,
And to get those,he was hellbent,
He kept whining until he saw a child,
With no legs, yet smiling,
That’s when the boy realized,
He was foolish to cry, though he had everything,
Life moves on, this isn’t the end,
There’s just no need to cry,
Henceforth you’ll get unending joy,
This is my assurance to you, my best friend………….

WILL YOU DIE FOR ME??!!

Will you die for me??!!
We had been on many dates before,
My heart still demands for more,
Yesterday, she asked me,
All of a sudden,
Will you die for me,
That left me perplexed,
And so dumbfounded,
I stared at her blankly,
Motionless and still,
I didn’t know how to reply,
I didn’t know what to say,
I held her hand,
And I began my reply,
Hoping she'll understand,
“ You are immersed in my dreams,
And in my thoughts,
You are the one truly,
My heart always wants,
My heart beats for you,
Without you it’ll stop,
I leap in joy, in madness I hop,
Each time I meet you,
When you are not with me,
I wonder, is she all right?,
As every morning I wake up,
Just to see your sight,
I’ll be your saviour,
From every tormentor,
I’ll be your prince and knight,
Protecting you day and night,
In life, there’s just no fear,
When one has nothing to lose,
But losing you, my love,
It’s my greatest fear,
Will you die for me,
This is what you asked,
Yeah, I’ll die for you,
Not once, but a thousand time,
Coz i am all yours, and you are just mine………………"

THE PLACE I CALLED MY OWN!!


The place I called my own!!
A week ago, I came,
After twenty long years,
To the same place,
That I called my own,
Where I was born,
And it was here that I got a name,
I wish I had rebelled,
Against my parents,
I wish I hadnt accompanied,
Them to the United States,
To me this was heaven, a place dear,
And each day I dreamt of coming back here,
But now I don’t recognize,
One soul, one face,
A lot has changed,
And the only things that remained,
Were glorious moments,
In my heart, in my psyche,
The place I called my own,
It’s long gone,
The beautiful trees that used to adorn,
The place, are gone,
How did this happen, I cannot tell,
Alas,this place is now worse than hell,
The park where I played,
The palatial house where I stayed,
It’s long been demolished,
And now there lies many a complex,
That's so polluted, so crowded,
And so unhealthy, so filthy,
I feel like an outsider here,
The world has changed,
The people have damaged,
The heaven, that it was before,
The place I called my own,
It’s gone; Alas, the heaven’s no more………….

LIVING A FRUITFUL DAY TODAY!!

Living a fruitful day today!!
There are moments when,
With heavy steps I walk,
I stammer as I talk,
I don’t know where I am heading,
I don’t know what I am doing,
There are moments when,
I feel lost and I wonder why,
As I sit shivering under the moonlit sky,
I badly seek a shelter,
Or a loving arm over my shoulder,
There are moments when,
I get immensely angry, I curse,
And make lot of tantrums,
I create a huge ruckus,
And there’s a pandemonium of all my emotions,
It’s high time I understand,
Sometimes things won’t go our way,
Yet that shouldn’t deter us,
From living a fruitful day today,
In a manner grand,
A wise man had once said,
Life is just a bed,
Of beautiful roses, but with many a thorn,
There’s just no point thinking,
About the things long gone,
It’s high time I realize,
There’s always something,
Good that definitely results,
Out of every thing,
Unfortunate that happens,
Life is all about finding,
That one good thing,
Leaving the rest behind,
That’s the only way,
Of living a fruitful day today.......

MY BETTER HALF!!
My better half!!
Life is so exciting,
That’s just because I have you,
Yeah, It’s a thousand percent true,
You make my life worth living,
Each time we talk,
The conversation gets coded,
Into my memory,
Secure with an unbreakable lock,
Each time I gaze into your eyes,
I feel myself drowning,
In their innocent, virgin beauty,
As the time just flies,
Each time I hold you close,
I feel content and blessed,
And I just won’t care,
If the rest of the world froze,
I love your innocent yet seductive smile,
And I promise I’d die, but,
I’ll never let you cry,
Even for a little while,
The days are full of bliss and ecstasy,
When you are around,
As I cherish every moment,
I get to spend in your company,
We have been together,
For the past six years,
I just can’t get enough of you,
Please be my better half forever,
I know one thing,
We'll walk the aisle together,
Destiny has already decided,
I want to be with you forever,
But tonight i am proposing thee,
Bending down on one knee,
With the exotic collection of flowers,
My princess, please be my better half forever.............

LITTLE MISS FORGETFUL!!

Little Miss Forgetful!!
Women have this strange habit of exaggerating and over-reacting to small things...the poem is a classic example of that..Is this what we call Paranoia??
Please note, my poem DOES NOT deal with amnesia, Alzheimer's or any medical aspect...i am not a doctor and neither have i done research to write a poem based on that..Mine is just about day-to-day forgetfulness and the fear of amnesia in the mind of a girl in her early twenties...!!!
I was clumsy right since school,
But never was I forgetful,
I don’t know when it all began,
But I curse myself coz it all began,
My friends’ birthdays and number,
That used to be on my fingertips,
Now I barely can remember,
And the thought of amnesia gives me creeps,
Sometimes I don’t recognize a face,
Sometimes I don’t recollect an event or place,
My memory’s diminishing with passing time,
As this sends chills down my spine,
Everyone calls me “Little Miss Forgetful”,
Hearing it daily is so painful,
Someone please show me a way,
A glimmer of hope, a ray,
My forgetfulness is haunting me,
My life is taunting me,
Relieve me of this anxiety and pain,
Before my memory completely goes down the drain,
I have seen movies on the dreaded topic,
And that scares me even more,
It makes me awfully sick,
Could this get worse any more,
Am I getting paranoid,or,
Is my greatest fear gonna come true,
Is this a common phenomenon, or,
Am I one of the unlucky few,
You might think I am over-reacting,
You might call me an idiot or a fool,
But save me,someone,I am incessantly wishing,
Please relieve me from the title of “ Little Miss Forgetful”……

MY GIFT!!
My gift!!
Dedicated to Kristen Stewart... my latest inspiration!!
Some say I have a special gift,
It’s my ability to write poetry,
But for me, the real gift,
Is you, and you only,
You are one of a kind,
Never have I seen someone like you before,
You will always be immersed in my mind,
As you are the one I truly adore,
I still remember our first kiss,
In the moonlight, on the beach, in the sand,
You are truly an oasis,
In the middle of a desert, a barren land,
I like to see the breeze blowing,
And ruffling your tresses,
As your cheeks it caresses,
Coz it makes you look stunning,
The journey’s indeed come a long way,
I never expected we would marry someday,
I did wish for it times quite a few,
At last, my sweetest dreams have come true,
Each day when we part for work,
My mind goes berserk,
I feel like quitting my career,
Just to lie in your arms forever,
With you, I want to spend,
At least fifty more years,
Without any fights, without any tears,
You are my gift, the only one I have ever loved,
I want to be with you, in this birth and even beyond……….

IT'S ALL OVER!!

It’s all over!!
Why did u leave,
When there was so much love,
I had yet to give,
And I am all alone now,
We could have sorted out,
All the existing problems,
We could have found out,
Better and effective solutions,
We were an epitome,
For all romantics die-hard,
Our love could have been carved,
In monuments of stone,
I knew we had the spark,
For our love to sustain,
The moments tense and dark,
But now it’s all in vain,
Life is about adjusting,
Love is about understanding,
I can’t believe it’s all over,
When I was meant to be with you forever,
What was my mistake,
When for you, I was willing,
To put my life at stake,
Coz being with you was such a blessing,
I don’t know why you chose to part,
As now I feel,
Such a void in my heart,
That’s just so hard to fill,
Countless times I wish,
For you to return,
You are the one I truly miss,
Come, relieve me of this heartburn,
Three months have gone,
She hasn’t returned,
It’s time to move on,
Finally, I have realized,
It’s hard to flush,
A lover, a sweetheart, a crush,
From the mind,
This I am slowly beginning to find,
Life’s all about hope and belief,
I’ll soon find someone new,
And one day I’ll get joy and relief,
And everlasting love that’s deep and true………

V.J.T.I !!
V.J.T.I !!
All the students at VJTI would definitely be able to relate with the sentiments expressed here!!
About V.J.T.I, I had heard lots,
Like others, I too came here,
With my profound dreams,
With countless expectations,
With magnum thoughts,
And with unfathomable ambitions,
I arrived the very first day,
Half an hour early, I remember,
I felt some strange connection,
Some inexplicable emotion,
The happiness showed on my face,
I knew, this is a "heavenly place"!!
It’s been more than two years since that day,
And it still feels like yesterday,
It’s been an amazing journey,
I look down the memory lane,
In another year, it’ll be all over,
The thought gives me immense pain,
As I write this, in college I am roaming around,
Reliving all past events, the magical moments,
I remember eating during the lecture hours,
Or sitting in the quad for hours,
Bunking lectures and pracs at will,
Or intense Xeroxing when it’s time for the kill,
As I write this, I am roaming around,
Reliving past events, the magical moments,
I remember gearing up to work for fests,
To help in making them a rocking success,
I remember working incessantly for hours,
To give shape to my sky-scraping desires,
Of course, there were glitches along the way,
The submissions and assignments,
Always gave me unwarranted stress,
I remember cribbing in distress,
Or begging for someone’s assignments,
To complete, on the penultimate day,
So many new people I’ve met,
So many unforgettable moments I’ve spent,
Post V.J.T.I, life would leave a void,
That just can’t be filled,
One thing’s for sure,
V.J.T.I, my soul shall always reside here……

SWEETHEART!!

Sweetheart!!
I love you sweetheart,
From the innermost part,
Of my heart that beats,
Just for you, it seems,
My love is true,
And it will keep on growing,
It has no boundary,
It has no ending,
I love you sweetheart,
To me, you mean the world,
And to be with you,
I can fight the whole world,
Nothing is perfect in life,
But having you in my life,
Makes it so fun and exciting,
Yeah, you make it truly worth living,
I love you sweetheart,
As I feel your presence,
Even in your absence,
Yeah, it’s true, I only live for you,
You make me leap,
In joy and madness,
There can be no wory or sadness,
With you around, I can never cry or weep,
I love you sweetheart,
And I’ll keep on doing so,
Till death takes us apart,
And even beyond, wherever we’ll go………

MY 100TH POEM:: "THE ONLY ONE I EVER LOVED!!"
My 100th poem:: The only one I ever loved!!
I want to be,
Your knight in shining armour,
I want to be,
In your tender arms forever,
Gazing into your loving eyes forever,
I want to be,
The charming prince of your life,
I want you to be,
My lover, my wife,
Now and in every future life,
With you, I want to,
Sail and swim in the seas,
And in oceans far and deep,
Amidst the exotic fishes,
I want to see you leap,
I want to stand with you,
On the deadly mountain sides,
I want to go with you,
On the scariest of amusement rides,
Just to see you cling me in fear,
I want to sip wine with you,
Sitting by the shimmering beach,
I want to walk with you in the moonlight,
Counting stars and exploring nature,
In all its grandeur and might,
You always alleviate my pain,
Your presence gives me relief,
Someday you will share my last name,
This isn’t my arrogance,
It’s my true, unwavering belief,
When I marry you,
I want the whole world to see,
And to feel jealous,
Coz you are one in a billion,
Surely the best in the universe,
Dreams are many, words are few,
To describe how much I need you,
You are the only one I truly loved,
All I want is, just to be with you,
In this birth and even beyond………

WITH YOU AROUND!!

With you around!!
With you around,
My laughter lasts till time eternal,
Coz the joy is real,
As I am transported to a world parallel,
My mind is filled,
With countless dreams,
Of us being together and enjoying,
Away from the world, we are at ease,
With you around,
I am swept off the ground,
We’re flying in the skies,
And the feeling’s so nice,
I dream of you, and only you, dear,
It doesn’t matter if you are far or near,
My heart always beats for you,
Every single time,
Without you around,
I feel so lost and lonely,
And I long to be with you,
Every passing moment, actually,
My eyes search for your face,
Wherever I go, in every damn place,
My ears hear your sound,
Wherever I go, and I turn around,
I imagine us kissing at the altar,
As we avow to live together,
Forever, in sickness and in health,
And in distress and in wealth,
With you around,
I do not care if I die early,
As long as i get to spend,My days with you till my end.........

P.S I LOVE YOU!!

We were meant to be together, forever,
We had taken an oath, do you remember,
How could you leave me then,
All alone, in distress and in pain,
You have left a void,
That just can’t be filled,
You have left a gap so wide,
And tears don’t stop however hard I tried,
I am engulfed in space,
And I long to see your face,
Just one last time,
I want to hold your arms in mine,
We were going to go someday,
On a world trip together,
We were going to stay,
In a beachside bungalow forever,
You had said, ”I’ll be there for you,
Till every grain of sand vanished from view,
And so did every drop in the mighty ocean,
And till the world stops its motion”
What happened to all those promises,
You made so casually,
Why am I forced to live in memories,
When we could have made a better reality,
I love you lots, I miss you lots,
I hope heaven is pretty,
I’ll join you there, wait for me,
After all, our love is infinity,
And it shall last till eternity………

LIVING IN LONELINESS!!

Living in loneliness!!
Living in loneliness,
My life’s a mess,
Living in pain,
It’s driving me insane,
The sea of sorrow,
The limitless sky of woe,
I am trying to ward off,
These ghosts; but it’s tough,
Sometimes I get this feeling,
The walls are closing down on me,
I am lost and drowning,
In the wilderness of the sea,
My life is full of turmoil,
As i always see my plans foil,
People start consoling me over the phone,
And i shout, "leave me alone!"
Just when I was contemplating suicide,
I came across,
A friend, philosopher and a guide,
Who taught me to move ahead after a loss,
Some things go our way,
But in life, we lose even more,
Ships do lose their way,
But for that, they have to leave the shore,
Life is a blessing,
Time heals everything,
He said, I have to keep believing,
I have to be persevering,
I suddenly feel a lot better,
The boredom and pessimism is all over,
I am no more living in loneliness, I say,
At last I have seen a glimmer of hope, a ray………

I MESSED IT UP, YET AGAIN!!

The day I had wished for,
Since so long,
How could it possibly go,
So terribly wrong,
It was supposed to be memorable,
Ended up being so terrible,
I messed it up, yet again,
And the memories are now driving me insane,
I don’t know the reason,
What was the problem,
I am wondering,
I am pondering,
I don’t know what was going on in my psyche,
But now I am cursing myself,
And I am feeling like,
A torn, ragged book on the shelf,
I messed it up, yet again,
And the memories are now driving me insane,
To understand I am trying,
As silent tears I am crying,
Wish I could turn back the time,
I wish a few hours down the line,
Alas, the past can’t be changed,
You can’t change things you damaged,
I feel so idiotic and dumb,
This incident is making me feel dumb,
It is haunting me,
My life is taunting me,
No amnesia can wipe these memories,
No drug can ever ease,
The undue stress,
Resulting for the self-created mess,
If I get a chance another,
Things would be different,
But this has left me bruised and burnt,
It will haunt me forever,
It was supposed to be my day,
It wasn’t meant to be this way,
I messed it up, yet again,
And the memories are now driving me insane……

I LIVE FOR YOU!!

I live for you,
All I want is, just to be with you,
Coz one thing I know is,
With you, my life would be bliss,
I can travel a thousand mile,
Just to see your beautiful smile,
Just to get a glimpse of your pretty face,
I am ready to come to any damn place,
You are marvelous truly,
The epitome of grace and beauty,
One thing I am sure,
I want to be with you forever,
I want to be by your side,
Holding your hand,
Visiting places far and wide,
Spending time in desolate island,
You are immersed in my dreams,
Life without you would be so boring,
Your presence is so refreshing,
You make me dance; you make me sing,
You make my life worth living,
Dreams are many; words are few,
To describe how much I need you,
I live for you, and only you,
All I want is just to be with you…………

DILEMMA!!

Every morning I wake,
After this recent heartbreak,
I feel shattered; and sad,
I feel so battered; and at life so mad,
I thought it would be an easy take,
To get over a heartbreak,
I’ve realized, people were right,
It takes tremendous might,
She unintentionally creeps into my mind,
The angelic smile; her nature kind,
I try hard to divert,
But that doesn’t alleviate the hurt,
Wherever I go, whatever I do,
Her charismatic personality,
Follows me around,
I am in a dilemma, addled and confused,
Do I still love her,
Or is she gone,
From my heart forever,
I am in a dilemma, baffled and bemused,
Few days pass like this,
I get the same dreams again and again,
Of moonlight strolls and walks in the rain,
And the dilemma still persists,
But it all changed today,
I woke up afresh; it’s a new day,
I wasn’t feeling any pain,
Nor had I dreamt about the rain,
I listen to my favorite romantic song,
She doesn’t come into my mind,
At last I’ve put my past behind,
Though it has taken a bit too long,
The dilemma has perished,
The confusion has vanished,
I have learnt to live without her,
I’ve moved on, for the better………

ILLUSION!!

We sometimes dream about how our ideal life should be…instead why don’t we come out of our world of illusion and face the reality, however harsh it might be!!...this song is loosely based on the above idea…
Things those aren’t true,
Why do keep wishing,
For all our ambitions to come true,
Why do we keep counting,
The eggs before they are hatched,
Why do we keep dreaming,
Why do we live in,
A world of fantasy,
Why do we always sideline,
The harsh and callous reality,
Why do we try to hide our pain,
Why do we keep having,
A false impression, a delusion,
Why do we fake an oasis,
When we know our life’s a cruel desert,
Instead why don’t we face our problems,
With a clear mind and with ease,
Why do we live in our dreams,
In a world of illusion, of false impression,
So often I wonder,
We must learn to face the reality,
To withstand the continuous cruelty,
There’s no point hiding our pain,
When we know our life’s a squalid drain,
There’s no point living,
In a world of illusion,
There’s no use having,
A false impression, a delusion…

LOOKING AHEAD!!

Rejection is a part of life !!..this poem describes the story of a guy who proposed and got rejected...You might call it a sequel to the poem "proposal" listed below.
It had to end someday,
I didn’t know it would end this way,
Now I have to look ahead,
Where there lies a paradise,
On every future step I’ll tread,
It does feel a bit different,
I don’t know how, but,
I feel a bit relaxed,
Not at all hurt, as I had expected,
Not at all awkward,
All things have to end someday,
Coz only few things go our way,
I am relieved really,
That the heartbreak happened so smoothly,
Without any tear or an unwarranted display of anger,
A backlash from her,
I was expecting and fearing,
I dreaded a hostile reaction,
It’s indeed a blessing,
She turned out to be such a practical person,
Now I don’t feel restless anymore,
Waiting for her calls, emails or messages,
Life tests us daily; it teaches us incessantly,
Everything happens for the better,
It’s good this happened sooner rather than later,
My life hasn’t changed,
My friendship with her hasn’t damaged,
It has only become stronger,
I have moved on; looked ahead,
Envisioning paradise on every future step I’ll tread……

PROPOSAL!!

In life, luckily,
I have almost everything,
The only ingredient missing,
My love, it’s you,
My heart has chosen you,
Since a long time,
It keeps dreaming,
Of your hand in mine,
The first time I met you,
I remember the whole conversation,
That happened that day,
As I long for it to repeat everyday,
Nothing can erase the memories,
From my mind that feels,
Your presence every minute,
As I keep praying to meet you again soon,
You make a boring journey,
Truly memorable and enjoyable,
You are such wonderful company,
So lovable and affable,
Each time we part,
I just can’t utter goodbye,
I don’t want you to go,
And I feel momentary sadness in the heart,
So many times I’ve thought,
Of a romantic evening,
With soft music playing,
And mild, gentle breeze rubbing your cheeks,
I love the innocent twinkle in your eye,
I am addicted to your smile,
To get you off my mind,
It’ll take an infinitely long while,
People say it takes a lifetime,
To find our soul mate,
But I am sure I’ve found mine,
In only my late teen,
In life nothing’s perfect,
But I know our relationship could be,
This I know a thousand percent,
A world of Utopia, indeed; just you and me,
I don’t know why,
I am making such a proposal,
But I’ll try not to cry,
If at all, I hear your refusal,
You may not end up being my girlfriend,
But I’ll love you till my days end,
After all, it’s not just a fleeting crush,
I truly love you, deeply,
You may not end up being my wife,
But you’ll remain forever in my life,
My love for you is infinity,
Which, my dear, shall last till eternity……

FROM MY HEART...TO MY SOUL!!

I have never loved anyone,
As seriously as you,
My love for you,
It’s intense and true,
You are the reason for my existence,
As I miss you every fleeting instance,
Your absence makes me lonely,
Even when I am with my friends or family,
Each time we part,
I long to meet you again,
To spend another moment with you again,
An unending desire burning in my heart,
I like the way you smile,
From you eyes depicting innocence,
Spreading joy and happiness,
That lasts for a long while,
I can’t concentrate,
On things I ought to,
And to shorten the long wait,
Interim I keep dreaming of being with you,
I may never propose to you,
Due to the fear of losing the friend in you,
But living the whole life without you,
That would be a bit too painful,
In the past one year,
You have become one of my sweetest friends,
A person so dear and near,
Who I’ll always love till my life ends……………

INDEPENDENCE!!

It’s been more than sixty years,
Since we began our journey,
When the whole world had slept,
And we had made a tryst with destiny,
It was a new day for us,
A feeling of self-accomplishment,
A sense of utmost contentment,
As hands clasped together, we prayed for a better India,
It’s been more than sixty years,
But the fears still exist,
The pain does persist,
As hands clasped together, we still pray for a better India,
Is hoisting the tricolour enough,
Is chanting the national anthem enough,
Where is the pride, the enthusiasm,
The feeling of unity and patriotism,
We are known for our tolerant culture,
But are we for our skeptical nature,
We fear or hate our own brothers,
Just because of a difference in caste or religion,
We talk about eradicating,
Poverty and corruption,
Yet we repeatedly keep exploiting,
The masses forming the bulk of the population,
We prefer to watch the reality shows,
Than face the distressing reality,
We care more for our cricketers,
Than our war heroes and survivors,
It’s been more than sixty years,
Yet we live in darkness,
Waiting for that one glow of light,
To get us out of the self-created mess,
Was this the dream of the “Mahatma”,
Was this the India we craved,
Was this the nation we wanted,
As hands clasped together, we keep praying for a better India,
It’s time we stand up,
For our beloved motherland,
It’s been more than sixty years,
And now we’ll carve a better India with our magical hand………

NIGHTMARES!!

I get recurrent nightmares,
I don’t get dreams,
About me, no one cares,
That is how it all seems,
Sometimes I am all alone,
In a dark, dingy passage,
About to be pounced upon,
By hundred lions just out of cage,
Or I am sitting at the beach,
Admiring the waves, the calm sea,
Suddenly there comes a huge one; I screech,
And there’s no one to save me,
Sometimes I am admiring the mountains and the cliff,
With some dear friends of mine,
We have a minor tiff,
And they push me down; into the sands of time,
Or I am driving peacefully,
And the road below vanishes,
I go down some tunnel or valley,
And burnt to ashes,
I wake up perspiring,
I feel blank; unable to think what to do,
This feeling is nauseating,
As I keep wondering, what if they come true………

IN PAIN!!

I am in pain,
I want to be alone for some time,
So do not pester me,
Even if you see my whine,
I want to go away,
From the colleagues I abhor,
I want to do as I feel,
Away from this insipid door,
I fail to understand,
The point of living here,
Where I am not free,
And under constant scrutiny of my peer,
I need no mentor,
I need no guide,
The world is a place so squalid,
I am discovering its mean side,
I am in pain,
I would prefer being a nomad,
Where I am my own master,
Away from the world so mad,
I worked incessantly,
But I gained nothing,
My life’s a bitter gourd,
Worthless and nauseating,
I am in pain; I want to flee,
Away from all the people I call my own,
To Utopia; where everything’s fair,
Where I can peacefully smile; though alone………

SILENT LOVE!!

I knew a girl,
I loved that girl,
Immensely, undoubtedly,
But I just couldn’t tell,
My feelings remained,
Till the very end,
In my heart,
My love so silent,
She was a good friend,
I felt that this couldn’t be the end,
I wanted something more,
But my love remained silent,
I had dreamt a lot,
She was the one I sought,
The only one I loved,
But I never said,
But now she’s gone,
And I am all alone,
Ruing my lost chance,
Living in utter grief,
Wish I could turn back the time,
And ask her out just one time,
It would be fun on the first date,
Alas, I am a moment too late!
My feelings don’t matter,
She’s with a guy another,
My love remained silent,
And that is how it all ended
Life keeps on moving,
Even I’ll try living,
Loving her silently forever,
Praying for her happiness forever……

I NEVER THOUGHT!!

I never thought,
We would be together someday,
Spending such a blissful day,
I never thought,
Our closeness would be celebrated,
And for this day, so long I had waited,
I never thought,
Our togetherness would be accompanied,
By such opulent people of various profession and creed,
The journey’s been amazing,
It feels so exciting,
Yeah, it’s true, we are marrying,
I never thought,
Life could be so much fun,
And destiny could take such a nice turn,
I never thought,
About our honeymoon,
But yeah, it’s real; it’s going to happen soon,
I never thought,
But what I had always sought,
I have finally got,
Forever I would recollect this day,
For all the blessings I thank thee,
Full of happiness, let my future always be………

A FRIEND!!

The word “friend” is short,
But it does signify a lot,
It makes us remember,
Weird moments spent together,
Eating and watching movies,
Chatting nonsense, having fun,
Or conversations full of,
Sarcasm, zeal and pun.
We keep creating rumours,
As the time flies,
But also bailing out someone,
On the verge of cries,
Of course there are,
Baseless arguments and countless fights,
Butwe forget it in,
A couple of nights,
Life is extremely short,
So in peace we must live,
A friend is undoubtedly special,
So only joy we must give,
Coz there might come a doomsday,
When there's no one to help us,
No one to protect us,
In the chilly winters or the scorching sun of May,
And that’s when ourselves,
We’ll curse without an end,
For letting go of a magical person,
Known by the name “friend”.....
I need you all!! .. and I hope this feeling is mutual…happy friendship day to u!!

I KNOW A GIRL!!

I know a girl,
Her face so cherubic,
Her behaviour so angelic,
And I think I am in love,
With her since times immemorial,
Her eyes so pretty,
Her hair so silky,
And I think I am meant for her,
In this birth and forever,
I know a girl,
Her smile so cute and seductive,
And I dream all the time,
Of her being mine,
Her voice so melodious,
Her dance truly marvelous,
She's so smart and intelligent,
Though at times,just a bit adamant,
I know a girl,
She’ll make a caring wife and daughter,
And a passionate lover,
I just want to be with her,
She’s indeed, a super-woman,
Really an ideal, saintly person,
My love for you is infinity,
