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,

My heart is pure and true,

Like the words of the Almighty,

It had always waited for someone like you,

To share its feelings and beauty,

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 100^th 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!!

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!!

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!!

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,

I never want to wake up ,it seems

For it feels so lovely

Just to dream about you, actually,

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!!

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!!

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…

Why do we believe in,
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,

Of mansions; when we live in huts thatched,

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,

And worries that are driving us insane,
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,

So deeply I ponder,

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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!!

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,

She looks so attractive,
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’s an obedient daughter,
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,

Which my dear, will continue till eternity......

HEARTBREAK!!

Heartbreak!!

Every morning I wake,
After this recent heartbreak,
I feel so irritable, so sad,
At life, so angry, so mad,

I feel shattered, completely down,
I feel so battered, totally out,
On my face is a constant frown,
I am sinking in my own world of doubt,

I have become more and more silent,
Still living in the past,
Thinking how wrong it all went,
When I had wished it to forever last,

I try to forget this,
By entrenching myself in work,
But my mind drifts to the days of bliss,
Still wondering why it didn’t quite work,

Every morning it hurts,
To know that the vow of seven births,
Ended all of a sudden,
Leaving behind, a nightmarish burden,

I am learning to live in silent pain,
My life’s a squalid drain,
I am trying hard to forget,
The mishap that happened in the heat of a moment,

I know how frustrating this feels,
It sure, undoubtedly kills,
When someone’s snatched from my clasp,
And I can do nothing about it but gasp,

At times, it even feels strange,
To be so morose and all alone,
After all these years,
Leading me to misery and undue fears,

But life keeps on moving,
Even I’ll try living,
Constantly saying a silent prayer,
For her well-being and happiness forever……

I WANT TO!!

Please note, this is more like a song....not an usual poem..

I want to!!

I want to change,
I want to improve,
Goodbye I wish to say,
To all my evils,
And I want to prove,

Sins of the past,
Haunt me even now,
I want to let go fast,
Of my demons,
I wonder how,

I feel distressed,
I want to end all this,
I feel aggravated,
When they target me,
Constantly and always,

I know I have made mistakes,
But I deserve another opportunity,
And I’ll do all it takes,
To restore my pride,
To restore my sanity,

I want someone to understand me,
I seek an angel,
Who trusts me,
Without a doubt,
Without a wrinkle,

That was two years back,
Now things are different,
I worked on things I did lack,
I am an improved person,
And my life without a single dent…..

TILL I AM ALIVE!!

Till I am alive!!

I seriously do not know,
Why I keep thinking of you,
But even then, I’ll keep on doing so,
Till I am alive, and even beyond,

You are so lovely,
And look so beautiful,
You always make me gape,
Though that makes me look like a fool,

You always lure me,
To sing and dance,
And to meet you again,
I seek that "one lucky chance",

You are my precious princess,
And your absence will make me,
Anxious and restless,
Till I am alive and even beyond,

With you, I often dream of going,
To some exotic place,
And this exciting feeling,
Just doesn’t hide from my face,

We might not end up being together,
But I’ll keep praying for your well-being,
Always and forever,
Till I am alive, and even beyond....

STRANDED!!

Stranded!!

I am stranded in the rain,
Waiting for the coveted train,
None appears in my sight,
Increasing the intensity of my plight,

Helpless on the station as I sit,
By the passing minute,
I see the town getting waterlogged,
And yet again, I curse the rain-God,

The situation is intimidating,
It’s so damn frustrating,
I am irritated and angry,
Also immensely thirsty and hungry,

Finally a train arrives,
After what seemed like ages,
To get into it, I rushed,
Only to get squashed and crushed,

My anxiety for a moment grew,
But I managed to scamper through,
Luckily I got a seat,
To me, that was an extra-ordinary feat,

Through the window I looked here and there,
Only to see knee-deep water everywhere,
On troubled pedestrians my eyes I laid,
And unconsciously for everyone’s safety I prayed,

When shall I reach home,
In despair, I cry and moan,
I get three calls from my poor mother,
Only to bear the brunt of my acrid temper,

I feel I have described my journey enough,
And now it feels great to be out of the situation rough,
I reached home, totally exhausted,
And indeed, relieved that the day had finally ended……

HOW COULD IT HAPPEN??!!

How could it happen??!!

How could it happen,
I keep wondering,
Why did it happen,
I keep pondering,

It had happened once,
And now again,
To prove my carefulness I had a chance,
But I faltered yet again,

How am I supposed to cope,
With this new hindrance,
Is there any hope,
For me, an idiot in abundance,

I am terribly upset,
Totally dumbfounded,
It’s me, who I’ve begun to hate,
This incident will haunt me till the end,

I want to flush it,
Out of my mind forever,
As in despair, I throw a fit,
Of rage and temper,

I cry, I weep, I moan,
I hope my woes will end soon,
I pray as I sit alone,
In a corner of my room,

I quickly need to get over,
This small mishap faced,
As I know life moves on forever,
Happiness never does end…….

LOST!!

Lost!!

The poem describes the feelings of an NRI who wishes to return to his motherland...the picture symbolizes "staying abroad but an Indian at heart!"..

I am lost in a lonely place,
With no one in the alley,
Having a recognizable face,
I am treated as an unwelcome visitor,
Always viewed skeptically,
As this prejudice goes on forever,

I am lost in a lonely nation,
Where everything seems so alien,
I wonder why I craved to be a land so far off,
With no one to call our own,
Where nothing whatsoever reminds me of,
The things on which I had grown,

I am lost in this superpower country,
No doubt, free from filth and poverty,
But here, the people are not mine,
They don’t care whether I am upset or fine,
I miss my beloved folks so kind,
As all the memories keep on encircling my mind,

I have had enough of racial discrimination,
And all the unpleasant swears and allegation,
My greed had brought me here,
But now it’s my patriotism,
That will take me back from here,
To my country, my motherland; to my beloved nation……

DISTRACTED!!

Distracted!!

Too much happening around,
My mind keeps drifting away,
At the smallest of sound,
What can I say,

I don’t feel like working,
I don’t want to do anything,
I can’t stay focused,
I am on a verge of a professional accident,

I daydream a lot these days,
Why is it happening to me nowadays,
I feel lost in my own world,
Cut off from the external world,

Someone tell me, what is the reason,
For this unwarranted alteration,
Why is it that I get distracted,
By the smallest of clamor ever made,

I live in a world of fantasy,
My dreams overshadow reality,
That leaves me preoccupied,
And I just can’t stay focused,

Being distracted has ruined me,
It has completely destroyed me,
But now I’ll stage a comeback,
And improve my concentration that I lack,

I am going to start meditating,
And my brain I’ll try chanelizing,
I’ll forget all the things unimportant and vain,
And this is how in the long run I’ll gain………..

I'LL MISS YOU!!

I’ll miss you!!

You wish to go away,
Fine, I won’t stop you,
If you really feel this way,
But one thing I wish to say,
I’ll miss you,
And your beautiful smile,
To get over you,
It will take a long while,

You wish to leave me all alone,
Fine, I won’t argue with you,
I’ll dream about you,
And I’ll moan,
I’ll miss you,
And your beautiful smile,
To get over you,
It will take a long while,

You wish to forget,
Fine, I won’t force you to remember,
All those wonderful moment,
All those hours we spent,
Chatting, laughing, eating,
Or watching movies, cuddled together,
I’ll miss every damn thing,
That I wished would go on forever,

You don’t want to understand,
Fine, I won’t explain,
My love for you,
That is deep, profound and true,
I always felt glad,
In your company,
I’ll miss you,
And live my remaining life in vain,

You wish to seek true love,
Fine, search everywhere,
But you’ll come back to me, my dove,
For no one loves you,
The way I do,
Not here, not there, not anywhere,
I’ll miss you,
Coz more than anything else, I need you.....

THE WORLD OF MY DREAM!!

The world of my dream!!

I want to live in the world of my dream,
Where there’s no sin,
A world where there’s no pain,
Where our lives don’t go in vain,

I want to live in the world of innocence,
Where people are no longer pernicious,
A world filled with brotherhood,
Where we can fully enjoy our childhood,

I want to live in a world of equality,
Where there’s an everlasting unity,
A world where there’s no vandalism,
Where there’s no chauvinism,

I want to live in the world of the kind,
Where there are no problems encircling the mind,
A world filled with philanthropists,
Where there’s no place for terrorists,

I want to live in the world without stress,
Where life moves on as we want; with easiness,
A world without fierce, nerve-racking competition,
Where to be the "numero uno", there’s no intention,

I want to live in the world of truth,
Where there’s no scope for a corrupt brute,
A world without activities of a criminal,
Where people can lead a life normal,

Such a world exists only in dreams,
But dreams eventually come true, it seems,
For that miracle I’ll be hoping,
I’ll keep waiting, and I’ll keep trying………

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!!

Anytime, anywhere!!

If you need a true friend,
I’ll be there encouraging you,
I’ll be there supporting you,
Till the very end,
Anytime, anywhere,

If you need a companion,
To share jokes and idle gossip,
I’ll be there anytime, anywhere,
And we’ll incessantly talk,
As hot chocolate we sip,

God forbid if someday you are alone,
Seeking a shoulder to rest upon,
Don’t worry, I’ll be there,
By your side, anytime, anywhere,
Till all your worries are gone,

If you are in any dilemma,
About any decision,
If you are in any doubt,
Then I’ll be the first one to help you out,
Without even your mention,

If you are angry and need someone,
To bear the brunt of your rage,
Then I’ll be there, anytime, anywhere,
To be that timid animal,
About to be pounced upon in a cage,

I hope joy never eludes you,
I hope your sweet smile never leaves you,
I’ll always pray for your wellbeing,
Doesn’t really matter where you are,
Coz I’ll be close by somewhere,

Today I am speaking my heart out,
To make you aware,
That for you, I’ll be always there,
Anytime, anywhere,
Without an iota of doubt...

DREAMS!!

Dreams!!

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,
Until 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,
And in them, the seeds of our future we sow……

A WALK IN THE RAIN!!

A walk in the rain!!

I look out through the window,
I see dark clouds hovering,
Soon it will start raining,
Imagining it, my face begins to glow,

I had always wished to spend an evening,
Walking in the rain,
To feel the drops of water washing,
All the worries, all the pain,

I call my girlfriend over,
She resents, says she’ll catch a cold,
But then she agrees, and we soon set out,
On our walk, wishing it would go on forever.

The weather seems perfect,
The atmosphere so romantic,
We walk with hands entwined,
The moment makes us feel truly ecstatic,

We see people running around,
On hearing the thunderous sound,
But nothing seems to bother us,
Our mind lies far away from the fuss,

We kept talking and laughing the whole time,
We felt so relaxed, so much at ease,
I had never felt so much at peace,
Throughout my lifetime,

We have a cup of tea at a roadside stall,
Alongside we see a mini-waterfall,
We eventually sense it must be getting late,
And we turn back, all wet,

It was undoubtedly, one of my best evenings,
Which we spent at our own pace,
Cut off from the external things,
And one that ended with a wide grin on our face……

LIFE!!

Life!!

Expecting too much out of life,
At times, it hurts, at times, it kills,
Expecting life to always treat us fairly,
It isn’t possible even remotely,
Expecting the world to support us, it seems,
Impossible even in our dreams,

Some idiots say, Life’s killing us,
We’re bored, we’re totally bugged,
The truth is, we are all scared,
Whenever life makes us walk for a while,
On paths that are untravelled so far,
We think there’s nothing ahead, we recoil,

Someone has rightly said,
We should enjoy the journey and,
Not think about our destinations,
But we fail to realize this, and,
We keep skyscraping expectations,
As we falter, we curse life, yet again,

What has life and luck,
Got to do with our success and failure,
When we win, we get all the praise,
Then why do we blame luck,
For our losses, pain and distress,
Does our behaviour make any sense?

We must learn to be friends with life, its buddy,
And not curse it on the smallest of difficulty.
It’s high time we introspect,
Life’s a game lasting a life-time,
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose,
We can't have a magic wand,

We must be patient and believe repeatedly,
Life will give us a fair chance,
No doubt it will test us incessantly,
And to progress, there’s a very slim chance,
But eventually we shall definitely triumph,
Our attitude should change; that’s how we’ll win………

MY GORGEOUS QUEEN!!

My gorgeous queen!!

I dream of you,
In a day, more than a million time,
I think about talking to you,
Every moment, all the time,

I relish your company,
I am attracted to your smile, honey,
I love the innocent twinkle in your eyes,
And believe me, it isn’t lies,

I will be there for you forever,
And we would look great together,
You mean the world to me,
To this statement, no one would dare to disagree,

It’s not just a fleeting crush,
I love you truly, very much,
You are my gorgeous queen; I’ll gift you a thousand crown,
And I just can’t see you with a frown,

I’ll take care of you, come what may,
I can even die for you any day,
Of your love I may not be worth,
But I’d love to be with you, in every future birth,

You are a flower, and I am a bee,
I am incomplete without thee,
For me, you are the only star,
And you spread joy to me every minute, every hour,

I need you by my side always and ever,
And I want to lose sight of you never,

My love for you is infinity,

Which my dear, shall last till eternity...

I DREAM OF YOU!!

I dream of you!!

I dream of you, and only you,
Almost throughout the day,
I have a recurring reverie about,
Being with you some future day,

I imagine spending few moments with you,
I dream about gazing into your eyes,
As you speak with a voice so melodious,
To match with your looks so gorgeous,

I imagine a cozy dinner with you,
Or a moonlight stroll with you,
I dream of you, and only you,
As my partner, as my girlfriend, as my wife,

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,

My eyes search for your face,
In every damn place,
My ears crave for your sound,
I hallucinate about you: I turn around,

Your absence makes me, at times, lonely,
Even when I am with my friends or family,
As I suddenly begin to miss your smile,
I begin to cry for a while,

I dream of ways to confess,
My love for you,
That is true, deep and intense,
But I just can’t, I wonder why,

You might never come to know,
That I care for you the most,
Or how many times I have dreamt of you,
As my partner, as my girlfriend, as my wife,

You might never understand my love,
That’s perhaps because I may never display it,
You might not end up being with me,
After all, that’s destiny,

But I’ll keep on dreaming about,
You and only you, as one thing’s for sure,
You would always remain my sweetest friend,
And I’ll keep loving you till my days end….

LOVE!!

Love!!

Simple ingredients make love,
And that’s what makes it,
The best dish we can ever eat,
Or we can ever serve,

Love makes us dream,
Unfortunately it cannot be seen,
Love makes us go wild,
At times, it even makes us behave like a child,

Love makes us content and ecstatic,
It makes us energetic and dynamic,
Love makes us desire,
At times, it even compels us to be a situational liar,

Love cannot be explained,
It certainly cannot be understood,
But it’s undoubtedly the best experience,
It can be both gentle and fierce,

Love enlightens our soul,
It makes our heart complete and whole,
Love makes us even blind,
It even makes us forget things encircling our mind,

Love is a subject to study for philosophers,
And a matter of interest to poets and writers,
Love is a mystery; it’s exciting,
At times, even frightening and nerve-racking,

To some, love is heaven and paradise,
It is even extended friendship to some wise,
Love, for some is a curse, a mistake,
While others are ready to put their life at stake,

We all fall in love at some point,
As in mind, a prospective partner we appoint,
I can’t imagining living without love,
And I feel, all of us have to compulsorily fall in love,

After all, it’s rightly believed,
Simple ingredients make love,
And that’s what makes it,
The best dish we can ever eat or serve……

NATURE!!

Nature!!

I look out of the window,
And gaze at the skies,
Amidst the clouds and sun there lies,
A faint outline of a rainbow,
Looking at it, I am completely mesmerized,
And I break into a smile,

I look at the nearby trees,
Swaying in the cool breeze,
I feel guilty of being a human,
A race that brutally kills them,
I plant a seed; I pray,
Please let me see it grow someday,

I look at the massive sea; it’s inviting me,
I start taking a stroll on the beach,
I start feeling at peace,
Out of anybody’s reach,
The rays reflect on the wave that flows,
As even speckles of sand like diamond glows,

I spend a few hours admiring the glorious creation,
I feel pity that we don’t have time,
To acknowledge it, to thank God,
To pray that this lovely scene lasts forever,
I wonder why we ignore nature altogether,
I keep pondering; as I walk back to my room……

THE BREAK-UP!!

The break-up!!

I never quite imagined,
Even this could ever happen,
As my world came crashing down,
All of a sudden,

It was going on so smoothly,
And it all changed so abruptly,
Now without you around,
My spirit is surely getting dampened by the hour,

I know I have been a nincompoop,
As you so often rightly said,
But why did you leave me,
I am already feeling half-dead,

I admit I have been intransigent,
As you so often mentioned,
But I feel, you should have been a bit patient,
For you, I would have readily changed,

We had a great time together,
This I could always sense,
I love you, I need you, I miss you,
And now I am feeling lonely immense,

Life’s indeed a roller-coaster ride,
It’s a see-saw of pleasure and pain,
A blend of high and low tide,
Sometimes we lose, sometimes we gain,

How will I get over this
unexpected break-up, I wonder,
How will I re-emerge from this,
Unscathed, I wonder,

I am contemplating over the countless causes,
That led to this major setback,
I am seeking divine inspiration,
That can help me revive from this situation,

But as the wise say,
Life goes on; even I’ll try,
I’ll regain my lost smile,
It might take me a while,

The future appears bright, I can see,
There’s just no reason to be bothered,
I’ll unquestionably find another one someday,
As paradise lies in front of me; I can envisage…

TERRORISM!!

Terrorism!!

We look at the daily newspapers and gasp,
Seeing the rise of terrorism in our country,
We keep blaming the politicians, the system,
But do we ever contemplate, do we ever think,
Do we ever reflect and try and find a reason,

Is it always necessary to transgress,
Is it unavoidable to go astray,
To achieve fame, name and success,
Is it necessary to give in,
To powerful people and commit a sin,

Is it compulsory to give others’ sorrow,
Just because by that we can have a better tomorrow,
We fall prey to easy money,
We commit crime in haste,
But for once, can’t we think pure and chaste,

These influential men tell us lies and give us false hope,
They destroy our conscience, brainwash us,
And compel us to do their dirty work,
And our actions follow their orders,
Though deep inside we know, it doesn’t make sense,

Who are they to teach us how to live,
Just a bunch of corrupt, anti-social minds,
We betray innocent brothers and sisters,
Do we have an answer to give,
To God, to justify our insane actions,

We trust strangers far too easily,
But we always oppose our well-wishers and family,
Right from childhood, we are repeatedly given one advice,
Before we act, we must always think twice,
But those words go in vain, yet again,

We eventually get drawn into a mighty web,
Trying to free entangles us even more,
We get sucked into the Bermuda triangle,
And there’s no way we can survive,
However hard we thrash about and struggle,

So my countrymen, we need to learn,
We need to contemplate, we need to act,
We need to improve ourselves first,
And not fall into the vicious maze,
Of crime, hatred, betrayal and craze,

Tonight, we take a pledge,
We’ll do the best we can,
To save our country; To save the world.
We’ll eventually wipe terrorism completely,
Coz, we are united, like one big family……

p.s.. Jai hind!!...i am proud to be an Indian!!

VACATION!!

Vacation!!

The much awaited moment has arrived,
As the supervisor collects the answer sheet,
The eerie, exciting feeling creeps in,
Time to rejoice, it’s party time, we scream,

A couple of days pass by;
Partying loud, chilling away,
Enjoying this newfound freedom,
Experiencing intense, unexplored side of our madness,

But soon the freedom turns into boredom,
As these holidays seem they’ll forever last,
We suddenly start feeling so lazy,
And even tired, exhausted and sleepy,

Mom tells us; get off the bed,
But nothing’s going on in our head,
We want to laze all day,
And do what we wish, come what may,

We have a novel lying by our side,
But we just don’t want to read,
We’ve had enough fluttering of textbooks of late,
Glancing at books now makes us nauseate,

Not a single movie to see,
When will the multiplexes strike going to cease,
We, of course have our plans, Wow,
But too bugged to execute them right now,

We switch on the computer,
Alas, no friends online,
What a waste of time,
And again we hop on our bed, hoping to stay there forever,

Within a couple of weeks or so,
We start missing our buddies,
As we start feeling,
Vacations are so monotonous and boring,

Why are we so strange, I wonder,
During exams, we long for holidays,
Then why is it now that we get so bored,
And long for our beloved college days!!!!!!

P.s...enjoy the holidays...you might not get them again!!..Cheers!!

I WANT TO FLEE!!

I want to flee!!

I feel like running away,
To some place far,
Where there’s no one to bother me,
In any damn way,

I am buckling under pressure,
I am withering under stress,
I am fed up beyond the limit,
I just want to flee,

I have faced this for a long time,
I have had enough of the cries and whine,
I am completely aggravated,
I am totally frustrated,

I don’t need a shoulder,
To cry upon, I am better off alone,
I must be the culprit, the biggest boulder,
To people’s joy and happiness,

There’s no point staying here,
In a place where people can’t breathe,
Because of my presence, because of me,
That’s why I have decided to flee,

There’s no use to adhere,
To people who I loved,
They are better off without me,
I am better off without them,

I want to flee,
To some desolate place,
Away from the torments,
Away from the horrendous moments,

I wish to run away to a place,
Where there’s no one around,
To accuse me and smack my face,
Yes, I’ve made my decision; I want to flee…..

I WISH!!

I wish!!

I wish I could go back into the past,
And relive all those memorable moments vast,
I wish I could turn back the time,
To the days when I was nine,

I wish I could relive my cycling days,
Or my “getting up late” days,
I wish I had one chance,
To go back a decade and see my school dance,

I wish I had one opportunity,
To count the number of times I smiled in totality,
I always wish I could,
Enjoy all those moments my parents talk about my childhood,

I wish I could get my freedom again,
Shouting, enjoying, rejoicing in the rain,
I wish I could revisit all those wonderful places,
That I can barely recollect now, amidst blank spaces,

But I also wish I could change some of my past,
Mistakes and sins that still sting my heart,
I wish I could wipe off all those dreadful moments,
That has given my life some irreparable dents,

Why do I wish about things that possibly could,
Never take place however hard I wish they should,
I desire, I keep wishing, in moments of leisure,
As such thoughts go in vain again; without giving me any pleasure…

JOURNEY!!

Journey!!

The journey’s indeed come a long way,
I never expected it would someday,
I did wish for it times quite a few,
But it’s always a pleasant surprise,
When your sweetest dreams come true,

What began with plain acquaintanceship,
I never even realized when,
That transformed into a substantial friendship,
And now it has evolved into a relationship,
I never thought that would happen,

I wonder is this a part of reality,
Or it is some fantasy,
Going on in some corner of my mind,
Or is it suddenly that god has bestowed,
All the luck upon me; Oh, he’s so kind,

I am neither six feet tall,
Nor do I have a six pack, my love,
I wonder what then made you take this call,
I wonder what attracted you towards me,
When in the past, no one even bothered about me,

I have always craved for this moment forever,
Friends often made fun of this wish of mine,
They said it was just a waste of time,
They called me some dumb loser,
They never gave me a chance whatsoever,

Now it feels truly special,
To give them a smack on their face,
It’s they who are flabbergasted now,
Let them keep wondering how,
This unexpected transformation took place,

I feel I am on the top of the world,
It’s time to rejoice; it’s fiesta time,
The journey has just commenced,
And now on, you would see me wishing and praying,
This journey would last many a lifetime…

GOD: MY NEW BEST FRIEND!!

God: my new best friend!!

My life’s come to a standstill,
I am losing all will,
I am clinging on to a slim rope,
I am slowly losing all hope,
I am bankrupt, my career’s in doldrums,
On the verge of living in slums,
I am seeking one saviour, a friend,
I am hoping for all my woes to end.

To withstand these testing times, I need lot of pluck,
To re-emerge victorious, I require loads of luck,
Someone, somewhere, help me please,
I am wading in troubled seas
Why am I going through all this, time and again,
Why do I have to endure so much pain,
To fate, I don’t want to surrender,
But do I have a choice, I wonder,

I am questioning my ability,
Over me lies a dark cloud of uncertainty,
When will this phase go,
I ask you, God, I am eager to know,
My mood’s day-by-day becoming pensive,
There must be some laurels I ought to receive,
But why has joy always eluded me,
Why has fate always cursed me, I ask thee.

Then one day, God came in my dream,
He told me to work hard, eventually I’ll win,
I have now found my inspiration to proceed,
I have got back my belief to succeed,
My woes will soon come to an end,
In Him, I have found a trustworthy friend,
He has changed me completely, made me a different man,
And in me, He has found another fan….

LEARN!!

Learn!!

Learn to accept the harsh facts,
Though you want to deny them,
Learn to face the reality,
Though you want to ignore it,
There’s no point living in fantasy,
No point dreaming about fake ecstasy,
Such dreams never come true,
They never do.

Learn to be realistic,
Though you want to be optimistic,
Learn to face the hurdles,
Though you want to run away from them,
There’s no point living in imagination,
No point dreaming about a reformation,
Such dreams never come true,
They never do.

Learn to live without something,
Though you badly desire it,
Learn to live without someone,
Though you immensely need that special one,
There’s no use shying away from pain and torture,
No point dreaming about a happier future,
Such dreams never come true,
They never do.

It’s high time we learn,
To live in silent pain,
It’s high time we understand,
It hurts the most when you accept it the least,
There’s no point having sky-scraping hope,
No point dreaming about a happier future,
Such dreams never come true,
They never do…..

I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!

I’ve had enough!!

You call me a traitor, I just don’t care,
You call me a cheater, I just don’t bother,
You call me shit, I just don’t care,
You call me dimwit, I just don’t bother

I just don’t listen,
To what you blabber,
Coz I know who I am,
I know my identity,
I know the reality

You tease me, you hurt me,
Every single occasion,
You criticize me,
You misunderstand me,
And put me in depression,

I keep silent, I don’t retaliate,
Not that I am afraid,
But I am fed up of your crap,
I’ve had enough,
I’ve suffered enough

I wish you guys would change,
But what I wish is never what I get,
What I get is a bunch of dishonorable colleagues,
And a life equivalent,
To a thousand deaths …

REASON TO SMILE!!

Reason to smile!!

I am searching for one reason,
That can make me smile,
I am seeking one person,
Who can make me smile,

People talk philosophy about smile,
They say, smile has the might,
That can make things right,
A weapon of non-violence but of maximum might,

People complain I smile less,
They say I laugh less,
Why should I smile just for someone’s sake,
What’s the point of giving a smile fake,

Smile should spread love,
It’s shouldn’t be artificial,
Like the one that models so often give,
Just to show their sparkling teeth,

I seek a smile that illustrates happiness,
A smile that makes problems vanish,
A smile that can force pain to banish,
I am searching for a reason for that special smile…

I seek a smile that depicts contentment,
A smile that illustrates pure bliss,
A smile that appears after your first kiss
I am searching for a reason for that special smile…

WHY DON'T I??!!

Why don't I??!!

Why am I always,
So friendly and kind,
Why don’t I give someone,
A piece of their mind,

Why am I always,
Calm, quiet and nice,
Why don’t I bash someone,
When they entice,

Why do I always,
Endure pain and criticism,
Why don’t I quieten someone,
And permanently stop their cynicism

Why don’t I speak up,
Against things I hate,
Why do I always,
Smile and patiently wait,

Why do I always say,
Forget it, I’ll endure,
Why don’t I retaliate,
And find a permanent cure,

Why am I always,
So sacrificial and timid,
Why don’t I fight,
For my rights, indeed,

Why am I always,
Content with less,
Why don’t I ever be,
Mean and ruthless,

Is it a crime being always nice,
I don’t fancy being a baddie,
I don’t know why,
But I don’t want to be mean,

I don’t know why,
Perhaps that’s how I am,
I am content being nice,
And I am just being “ME”!

p.s.. this poem's autobiographical, but perhaps, a bit exaggerated!!

REJECTED!!

Rejected!!

I never thought I would be,
Rejected right at the outset,
I never thought I would be,
Embarrassed right at the onset,

I always felt I had a chance,
Though miniscule, but nevertheless a chance,
I always felt I was meant to be with her,
By her side, in her arms, forever,

I never quite anticipated,
That it was nothing more than friendship,
I never quite expected,
That there would be no likelihood of a relationship,

All my dreams have blown apart,
In one heck of a moment,
All my desires have been torn apart,
In one split second,

I have always loved, No one but her,
I have always wanted, No one but her,
But now it doesn’t even matter,
She’s gone forever,

It’s really disheartening,
To know that there’s someone else,
Some things just don’t go your way,
This one’s just one of them,

There’s no point cribbing,
There’s no point pondering,
She’s gone; it doesn’t matter,
Be optimistic, there will be someone better,

I have to see the larger picture,

And not be too much startled,
By this small impediment faced,
Coz life goes on; happiness never ends…..

This is the reason why i am afraid to confess my love!!...i fear rejection!!

WE LOVE TO DREAM!!

We love to dream!!

We have many a dream,
We have countless ambitions,
We dream, every time, of a win,
We have innumerable aspirations,

We dream of unprecedented success,
We dream of unparalleled progress,
We want to do something offbeat and cult,
We dream always of a favorable result,

We dream about being affluent and rich,
We dream of being a VIP or a star,
We dream of milestones we want to reach,
We dream about going to places far,

We dream of strolling in the moonlight,
By the beachside, with the person you love, by your side,
We dream of many a cozy, romantic date,
And for the dreams to come true, we patiently wait,

We love being a dreamer,
Coz it’s eventually such big dreams,
That will make us a winner,
And without them, we’ll be left all alone, a whiner...

so learn to live, learn to dream, and strive to fulfil the dream!!

HAPPINESS BEYOND SORROW!!

Happiness beyond sorrow!!

Everyone’s suffered rejection at least once,
Don’t worry, don’t fret,
You’ll get another chance,
Just patiently wait.

Everyone’s been humiliated at least once,
Don’t feel you are in trouble,
You’ll soon get another chance,
You’ll soon be able to cross this hurdle

Everyone has their moments of sorrow,
When tears flow as if they’ll never halt,
Don’t feel sad, you’ll get over your woe,
This phase will soon drift and waft

Everyone feels there’s no way further,
But don’t worry, smile in pain,
Think this is just a bad phase another,
And eventually you will gain

Everyone feels down and at times, alone,
When you feel your life’s in a mess,
And when your heart is filled with distress,
But have faith, this phase would soon be gone

See the larger picture, my friends,
Do not be too much alarmed,
By the small challenges faced,
Coz just like this universe, happiness never ends…..

SUMMER OF 2009!!

Summer of 2009!!

Show me a way to beat,
This non-terminating, scorching heat,
Teach me a way to survive,
Without any hue and cry,
Enlighten me with a way to withstand,
The hot summer in this tropical land,
Someone, please illustrate me a remedy,
To my ever-increasing tyranny

I just can’t stand this heat intense,
And it’s only going to worsen, I can sense,
I feel so tired, so dizzy,
This heat’s driving me crazy,
I feel, all my day goes vain,
And this continuous perspiration is driving me insane
I feel so burnt out, I feel fatigued,
Oh, I miss the pleasant winter, I miss the wind

Give me a permanent cure,
Or at least a method to endure,
Give me a concrete solution,
To this nuisance, this problem,
I feel I have been kept in a pyre,
And not even water can end this fire,
I feel zapped of my energy,
And I am fast becoming irritated and even clumsy

Alas, nothing going’s to change; I can tell
Nothing’s going to happen,
Nothing’s going to curtail,
The wrath of the sun,
We have no choice but to endure,
This incoming surge of torture,
This, my friends, is the summer of two thousand nine,
The worst, so far, of my lifetime...

MOVE ON!!

Move on!!

Losing you was such a nightmare,
This loss I just can’t bear,
Why did I let this wretched thing happen,
Just at a time when our love was beginning to blossom,

Without you, life has lost its meaning,
This pain of solitude,
Of an interminable magnitude,
It’s truly excruciating,

You were so loving, you were so caring,
With you by my side,
I wanted nothing else, I desired nothing else,
Just I wanted your arms in mine,

We had so much fun together,
All those happy memories I still remember,
How can it get over,
So suddenly, I wonder.

Now I feel so lonely, so forlorn, so alone,
I cry, I whimper, I moan, I groan,
This pain of parting is so unbearable,
My grief now is truly inconsolable,

Alas, life doesn’t give you another opportunity,
I soon have to regain my sanity,
I have to move on,
The past is now gone,

I have to look ahead,
Where there awaits a paradise on the roads I tread,
It had to get over one day, it did,
There’s nothing to wonder, nothing to ponder,

I have to move on,
The past is now gone,
I have to look ahead,
Where there awaits a paradise on the roads I tread….

JEALOUS!!

Jealous!!

I don’t know the reason,
But as you walk with that girl in crimson,
Who used to be my once-upon a time sweetheart,
You give me so much pain in the heart,
It’s true, I feel jealous of you.

I don’t know what the matter is,
But as I see you climbing the ladder,
Towards the peak, towards the summit,
I just can’t help it,
It’s true, I feel jealous of you.

Jealousy ruins everything, they say,
Jealousy ruins you, I know,
But I just can’t help it,
I don’t know the reason,
But it true, I feel jealous of you.

I don’t know why,
I mean, you are a friend, a nice guy,
So what makes me jealous,
I really haven’t the faintest idea,
But it’s true, I feel jealous of you.

You have achieved everything I desired,
You got everywhere before I did,
Am I incompetent, I am now beginning to think so,
Why has success always eluded me,
I don’t know why, but I am jealous of you.

I may be being a bit paranoid,
It may be misplaced jealousy,
I don’t know the reason,
But I just can’t help it,
It’s so fu**ing true, I feel jealous of you…

MESMERIZED!!

Mesmerized!!

This poem's very special to my heart...and i have written it after a very memorable incident that took place recently!!

I feel mesmerized,
By your divine presence,
I never quire estimated,
Your beauty immense,
I had seen your pics numerous,
But now that I have met you personally,
I now realize you are so gorgeous,
As I feel, a long-time dream has come true, really.

I was truly fortunate,
That we finally met,
You made my day, you truly did,
And now I know,
One thing indeed,
I feel I am addicted to you,
And I don’t think,
I can quite live without you

Since that wonderful evening,
You are forever immersed in my mind,
I feel lost, I am wondering,
Am I in heaven of any kind,
I feel I am attracted to you,
I am sure I am addicted to you,
I feel I am captivated by you,
And I am sure I just can’t live without you.

I always desired to meet you,
I always craved to spend a moment with you,
I always knew this dream would come true,
I just didn’t know when,
But now I am so happy, so elated,
I feel so delighted, so enlightened,
One thing’s for sure,
This is the best phase of my life, dear.

You make me feel so special,
With you, it always feels so wonderful,
I owe everything to you,
You refresh me like the first drop of morning dew,
I am indebted to you, immense,
You made me live life in its true sense,
And about this, there’s no pretence,
I just want to be with you forever.

You make me smile, when I am all tear,
You make me brave, when I am all fear,
I am mesmerized by your divine presence,
I never estimated your beauty immense,
I feel addicted to you,
I feel captivated by you,
And I am sure of one thing,

I just can't live without you....

THE FESTIVAL OF COLOURS!!

The festival of colours!!

The festival of colours,
I feel, it has lost its flavour,
I can sense,
It has lost its true essence.
Holi is now being vandalized,
Just in the name of celebration and fun,
It’s a pity to see this,
It’s a shame to bear this.

The festival was celebrated in the past,
To promote social harmony,
To bring people together,
It didn’t matter whether,
You were a Dalit or a Hindu or a Muslim,
What mattered were the feelings,
Of brotherhood, of fraternity,
Of national integration, of unity

But today I am completely shocked,
At the way Holi is celebrated,
Stones disguised as water balloons,
They are being pelted at,
Travelers on road and in trains,
With just one sole intention,
To hurt people, to cripple them,
To handicap them, to kill them

It’s disheartening to hear of instances,
Of people losing an eye or a limb,
People are now scared of traveling in trains on Holi,
Just because of such anti-social elements.
Holi is now being vandalized,
Just in the name of celebration and fun,
It’s a pity to see this,
It’s a shame to bear this.

I am completely shattered,
As I read about instances,
Of women complaining,
Or eve-teasing and sexual abusing,
Especially on this festive occasion,
It has completely torn me apart,
And I feel so ashamed,
Of calling this festival as auspicious,

Is this the festival of colours,
That it was originally supposed to be,
Are we celebrating it in its true form,
I ask everyone,
I seek answers from each one,
But alas, people are in no mood to change,
They even lack the desire to change,
And that’s what bothers me even more

Holi is now being vandalized,
Just in the name of celebration and fun,
It’s a pity to see this,
It’s a shame to bear this,
I can stand it no more,
I can bear it no more,
I wish the people will realize their mistake soon,
I wish the people would change soon…….


So people, celebrate holi in such a way that you do not hurt anyone physically or mentally…Happy holi to all!!

COMPLACENT!!

Complacent!!

My overconfidence and complacency,
It has ruined me completely,
I always thought things would be done,
Quite easily,
All battles would be won,
Quite easily,
But I was wrong,
Oh so terribly wrong,

Eventually I was the only one,
Left behind, as
All my peers reached their summit,
I always thought I was the best,
This proved to be my mistake biggest,
Overconfidence did me in,
And I lost everything I had,
And ended up becoming totally mad

I was in such a strong position,
I had everything I wanted,
I had everything I desired,
But I kept living on the past laurels,
As eventually all that I had,
Disappeared all of a sudden,
And I was eventually left with,
A huge debt and a gigantic burden

My friends tried hard,
To improve me somewhat,
They told me to work harder,
But I never did bother,
My family tried hard,
To bring me back to earth,
But I never considered their advice,
To be of any worth

I have realized one thing,
In this world there are thousands,
Who are superior,
There’s no place for complacency here,
There’s no use of arrogance here,
Coz this world will bite you then,
Coz this world will torment you then,
And you’ll be left all alone,
Drenched in pain, cursing your own self

I have learnt it the hard way,
I have let my own life swirl and sway,
My overconfidence and complacency,
It has ruined me completely,
I thought things would be done,
Quite easily,
All battles would be won,
Quite easily,
But I was wrong,
Oh so terribly wrong,

But now I’ll fight back,
I have learnt my lesson,
I’ll find my way,
I still have the hunger,
To be a conqueror,
I’ll work harder,
And eventually be a frontrunner,
I’ll eventually be a winner…

FIFTY YEARS!!

Fifty years!!

It’s been fifty long years,
So far luckily, there have been no tears,
It still feels like it's just been a day,
And I wish it forever stays this way.

There were a few misunderstandings, a bit of turbulence,
Things turned at times,
A bit hostile, sometimes even hoarse,
But that didn’t hamper our flare and romance.

I still remember the day when I had proposed,
And to decide, you had taken a moment too long,
I felt I was going to be rejected,
But I am fortunate that I was wrong.

I still remember our first occasion,
When our hearts were palpitating, full of tension,
We were so nervous, so excited that night,
As we hoped everything will go on allright.

We were sitting beside a fire,
With our bodies burning with desire,
The music system was playing such a romantic song,
As we had hoped that night to last slightly long.

So many memories I still cherish,
Be it our first child,
Or to see his career flourish,
Those moments are still fresh in my mind.

It’s been fifty long years,
So far luckily, there have been no tears,
It still feels like it's just been a day,
And I wish it forever stays this way.

Even today as I gaze into your starlit eyes,
I feel mesmerized,
Even today as I hear your sweet voice,
I feel magnetized.

As I look at your slightly wrinkled face, I smile,
It’s been a remarkable race, Of many a mile
I look at your aged yet smooth skin,
And realize what a journey it has been.

It’s been fifty long years,
So far luckily, there have been no tears,
It still feels like it's just been a day,
And I wish it forever stays this way…


Fifty years...??!!...that's slighly far-fetched you might think....but surely at the back of your mind, you must be wishing that you get an opportunity to celebrate fifty years with the person you love the most...

THERE'S JUST NO REASON TO CRY!!

There’s just no reason to cry!!

The Indian society claims to be modern yet when it comes to marriage issues, parents want their children to marry someone of their language/caste/religion… My poem describes one such guy who frustrated with his parents/ narrow-minded society… at the same time, he is telling his girlfriend that everything will be all right....There’s no need to worry, there’s just no reason to cry!!

p.s...the pic symbolizes fights, hatred, narrow-mindedness....also depicting that all kinds of misunderstandings and war lead to destruction....so spread love..learn to compromise at times too!!

I just don’t give a damn,
About what my folks think,
About this relationship,
I just don’t bother,
About whether they agree or not,
To our bonding,
I just don’t listen,
When they discourage me,
Or when they try to dissuade me,
From marrying you,

I just don’t care,
About their criticism,
About their narrow-minded mannerism,
But things will improve soon,
I am sure of it,
I am confident about it,
There’s no reason to worry,
There’s just no reason to cry.

We are not going to falter,
To their nonsensical crap
We are made for each other,
And we shall always be together,
There’s no need to fret,
All our dues we’ll eventually get,
Our relation is going to stay strong,
It’s going to last very long,
I am sure of it,
I am confident about it,
There’s no reason to worry,
There’s just no reason to cry.

My folks are just being selfish,
But eventually they’ll give in,
And our true love shall win,
Love has no barrier,
Love has no constraints,
Love is just a meeting,
Of two bodies, of two minds,
My folks will realize this soon
I am sure of it,
I am confident about it,
There’s no reason to worry,
There’s just no reason to cry.

My family’s nice, really very sweet,
Perhaps a bit obsolete at times,
It’s not their fault,
It’s the society’s fault,
It makes us narrow-minded,
It prevents us from being rational,
It prevents us from being practical,
We live in the twenty-first century,
Yet caste or religion barriers,
Still prevail in this country,
When shall we grow,
When shall we evolve,
My family’s just a victim,
To the norms of our obsolete society,
But all such thoughts will banish,
All the animosities will eventually vanish,
I am sure of it,
I am confident about it,
There’s no reason to worry,
There’s just no reason to cry.

My folks would be truly delighted,
To have you as my bride,
They’ll be elated,
To see you by my side,
Things will eventually sort out,
It will take some time,
But all their prejudiced thoughts will banish,
All the animosities will eventually vanish,
I am sure of it,
I am confident about it,
There’s no reason to worry,
There’s just no reason to cry.

My love, everything will be all right,
We’ll together fight the society,
With all our might,
Eventually, our love will win,
I am sure of it,
I am confident about it,
There’s no reason to worry,
There’s just no reason to cry………

Now, it’s for you to decide whether to live in the past or make new norms in this new-age society!!!

THANKS FOR COMING BACK!!

Thanks for coming back!!

This is a sequel to…PLEASE COME BACK…that I had written a couple of weeks ago… (See the post below for the prequel)

I always knew,
That one day you will,
Return by my side,
But I just didn’t know when,
Now that it has finally happened,
I am so elated,
I am just so delighted.

You should have seen me,
Praying for your return,
All day, all night,
You should have seen me sobbing,
Tears trickling down my cheeks,
You should have seen me wailing,
For hours, days and weeks,
My life when you were gone,
It was erratic, asynchronous, and monotonous.

Thanks for coming back, my love,
Thanks for reinventing my life,
Thanks for bringing back,
Colours to my life

I always knew,
That one day you will,
Realize it was a mistake,
I know I committed a crime,
But I hope my sins are washed away,
With the passage of time,
And now hopefully I can say,
I am truly yours,
And you’ll be forever mine.

I need you a lot, dear,
I missed you so much, always,
All these past thirty days,
I have been searching for you,
Looking for you everywhere,
I am just so glad,
Now that you are back,
You stopped me,
From ending up insane and mad

Thanks for coming back, my love,
Thanks for reinventing my life,
Thanks for bringing back,
Colours to my life

I promise you, my cutie pie,
I’ll never make you cry,
I’ll never hurt you,
I’ll never betray you,
I have now realized,
What true love is,
I have now realized your importance,
I have now realized your worth,
You are my love,
You are my life,
And all the moments with you,
They are precious,
And they’ll always be immortal.

Thanks for coming back, my love,
Thanks for reinventing my life,
Thanks for bringing back,
Colours to my life

Let us pray it’s a new era,
It’s a new beginning,
Let’s celebrate,
Coz today’s a day truly great,
Thanks for coming back, my love,
Thanks for reinventing my life,
Thanks for bringing back,
Colours to my life……..

PLEASE COME BACK!!

Please come back!!

In life you make mistakes that you regret later…my poem describes one of those instances!!

There are times when I feel afraid,
There are times when I feel dead,
There are times when I feel alone,
There are times when I feel gone,

Hey, love, I miss you the most,
Please come back, I need you the most.

There are times when I feel depressed,
There are times when I feel distressed,
There are times I feel low,
There are times I ask, why did I let you go,
.
There are times when I feel the cold breeze,
That’s when the world seems to freeze,
And my mind drifts to all our beach-dates,
As also I think about the first time we met,
.
There are times when I hear the birds chirping,
That’s when I imagine your melodious voice,
That’s when all the past memories come alive,
And that’s when I unknowingly lose all my poise,

I know I was very selfish,
I now realize I was very foolish,
All that I did was utter rubbish,
But now I have just one wish,

Without you, I’ll always feel incomplete,
Like a night without stars,
There were many occasions when I hurt you,
And gave you all those brutal, mental scars,

But now I have understood,
The meaning of true love,
The meaning of true bonding,
The meaning of true commitment,

Without you, my life has lost its motion,
It has lost all its purpose,
It has lost all its direction,
It has lost all its importance,

Hey, love, I miss you the most,
Please come back, I need you the most.....

JUST ONE MOMENT!!

Just one moment!!

(the clock signifies a moment...)

It takes just one moment,
For all your hopes to get shattered,
It takes just one moment,
For all your dreams to get buried,
It takes just one moment,
For you to fall in love,
It takes just one moment,
For your love to drift away,
Strolling on the beach,
With some other guy,
She's gone out of your reach,
Smiling in his arms,
Wishing it would last for life.
As you feel helpless, you cry,
And even while being physically alive,
You die.

Till yesterday, I always felt,
I had a serious chance.
When we were talking the other day,
I felt mesmerized by her,
And even she appeared,
To be in some kind of a trance
But she thought of me only as a friend dear,
And never as some lover
I always wanted to ask her out,
She might have refused, no doubt,
But at least, I had a chance,
But now as I see her in his arms,
I feel jealous of him,
I curse myself,
Why didn’t I tell her,
Why didn’t I ask her,
Why didn’t I confess my love,
But now my feeling,
It has no importance,
It has no meaning.

Soon, she won’t have time,
For a once-upon-a-time friend like me,
Now I’ll be all alone and lonely.
My heart and my mind are still shocked,
I feel I am constantly looking,
Into the vastness of an empty ocean,
I am completely blanked out,
This pain will take a long time to heal,
About this, I haven’t the faintest doubt.

It takes just one moment,
For your desires to be burnt,
It takes just one moment,
For your breathing to stop,
It takes just one moment,
For your heart to cry,
It takes just one moment,
For you to ask “why”,
It takes just one moment,
For you to start cursing your fate,
It takes just one moment,
For your love to drift away,
Strolling on the beach,
With some other guy,
She's gone out of your reach.
Smiling in his arms,
Wishing it would last for life.
As you feel helpless, you cry,
And even while being physically alive,
You die………



It takes just one moment for everything.......so make every moment count!!!!!!!!!!!!!....fall in love, and do not be afraid to confess it....or it may just be a moment too late..

BETRAYED!!

Betrayed!!

I have kept one thing a bit unclear as to whom this poem is addressed to… it may be a friend, it may be a colleague or even a teacher or even a mentor…

You won’t ever see me complaining,
You won’t ever see me whining,
You won’t ever see me crying,
But that doesn’t mean,
That I am not feeling,
This sharp pang of pain,
This unending wave of sadness,

A tincture of madness.

I always thought that you were right here,
By my side,
To guide me, to support me,
To pull me out
From manholes, deep and wide
But as always,
My prediction turned out to be wrong,
As you ditched me,
Right at the last moment,
As you betrayed me,
Right at the last moment

I know you have helped me in the past,
But when it mattered the most,
You bothered about me the least.
One thing’s for sure,
You are a savage mongrel,
You are a beast.

Now I know you are feeling guilty,
I can sense this feeling,
You want to repent,
But I don’t give a damn,
Coz you have always treated me like dirt,
Or like the lowermost step,
Of some huge ladder,
And I seriously wish I could break your head,
With some huge boulder

I turned to you for advice,
And you treated me like lice
I turned to you when I was in deep trouble,
But you squashed all my hopes,
I was hanging on to a slim rope,
But instead of helping me survive,
You cut the rope,
And you let me fall.

Now, my mind’s in such a dilemma,
I don’t know whom to trust,
I don’t know whom to turn to,
For help, for guidance, for advice
I never expected,
That I would be betrayed,
That too by a person,
Whom I greatly trusted,
And now, I am spending my time,
Wishing I were happily dead.

Now I do not know what to do,
I feel hurt, I feel crumpled,
I feel distressed, I feel hassled,
I never expected,
That I would be betrayed,
That too by a person,
Whom I greatly trusted,
And now, I am spending my time,
Wishing I were happily dead…..

VICTORY!!

Victory!!

This poem describes the speech of a project manager, who is being felicitated because his team had made a fairly impossible project possible….and instead of bragging about himself, he has dedicated this victory to his fabulous team….we need more bosses like him who praise their colleagues for their work!!

I am not worthy enough,
To receive such accolades
I am not worthy enough,
To be acknowledged for this victory
I do not deserve these praises,
Nor do I deserve these bouquets of roses
It’s you guys, who did it all,
It’s you guys, who stood tall,
It’s you guys, who made it possible,
It’s you guys, who made it achievable

I am no genius,
I did nothing at all,
To turn the tide over,
I did nothing at all,
I have not contributed much,
To this grand success
It’s you guys, who did it all,
It’s you guys, who stood tall,
It’s you guys, who made it possible,
It’s you guys, who made it achievable

I am not being modest,
I am just being honest,
I just made vague plans,
I just made vague ideas,
But it’s you who worked,
It’s you, who toiled,
It’s you, who gave direction,
To my plans, to my ideas,
It’s you guys, who did it all,
It’s you guys, who stood tall,
It’s you guys, who made it possible,
It’s you guys, who made it achievable.

I enjoyed being part of this fascinating adventure,
I enjoyed being part of this captivating venture,
I enjoyed it more,
Because of you guys,
You never gave me any reason to complain,
You never gave me a reason to criticize, to whine,
Instead, you guys gave me a reason,
To enjoy, to smile
It’s you guys, who did it all,
It’s you guys, who stood tall,
It’s you guys, who made it possible,
It’s you guys, who made it achievable

I dedicate this success,
To my fabulous team,
I dedicate this victory,
To my extraordinary team,
But guys, keep one thing in mind,
This is just the beginning,
Of a new era,
Of a new inning,
We now have to keep improving,
We now have to keep progressing,
We have to keep winning,
And this new phase begins,
Nine o’clock tomorrow morning……

POVERTY!!

Poverty!!

Poverty in India is a disease,
It’s not going to wipe out with ease.
Kids are in such a deplorable condition,
About that, do we even need to mention,
For days at a stretch,
They die a slow death due to hunger,
Or at times, to the harsh weather,
They have to surrender.
They live in such unhygienic slums,
Their life’s in doldrums.
They are in such a pitiable state,
And alas, they can do nothing about it,
But curse their poor fate.
Someone got to do something about this,
Someone got to take the initiative,
Someone got to eradicate,
This omnipresent disease

The government makes big plans,
But never do they make any real efforts,
To improve their condition
These poor kids are given free education, no doubt,
But about the quality of knowledge,
We do not even need to discuss about it.
They are given mid-day meals, no doubt,
But about the quality of food,
We do not even need to discuss about it.

The kids are daily exploited,
At the hands of some anti-social elements,
They are forced to quit school,
They are made to beg,
Against their will,
They are taught to steal,
They are taught to kill,
They are taught to betray their kin,
They are made to commit many a heinous sin.

I remember one such incident,
That has really jolted me.
I had gone to Agra once,
Where I saw such a dreadful sight,
Beggars circling rich foreigners,
Tormenting them, irritating them,
These kids felt no shame,
They felt no sadness,
About the things that they are losing,
That the best days of their life,
They are really wasting them by begging.
I was ashamed of these kids,
But at the same time,
I felt pity on their helpless condition,
I have realized one thing,
They beg not because they want to,
They beg because they have to,
That’s the only way,
That can help them survive.

Yet another day.

I feel helpless,

I feel like crying,
We talk about the developments in our country,
We talk about the rich industrialists,
Or the richer sportsmen and film stars,
Who thrive in our country,
But do we ever bother,
To speak about those,
Who form an integral part of nation.

Do we need some damn movie, (read...slumdog millionaire)
To remind us of poverty,
Can’t we do something,at least,

To tame this ferocious beast,

Can't we put in our best effort,

To wipe out this dirt.
Can't we emphatically say,
We love our country,

And we'll make it free from poverty.

Can't we emphatically say,

We love our country,

And we'll make it free from poverty......

So people, if we do our best, we CAN and we WILL eradicate this omnipresent disease known as POVERTY....

AUTOPORT 2.0!!

Autoport 2.0!!


This poem describes my experiences when working for autoport 2.0…I am sure everyone feels the same as I do!!!


Last year’s autoport,
It was a complete failure,
So we had to now,
Prove our mettle,
We just had to get out,
Of this mess,
We just had to let go,
Of the mistakes of the past,
We just had to make autoport 2.0,
A roaring success

Two months ago,
We formed a team,
That was ably headed,
By Raj, Viraj and Bean
We had just one sole intention,
We just had to succeed,
We just had to win.

We divided our work,
We were given specific tasks,
We were made to sweat it out,
We were made to bleed,
But we just had to succeed,
We just had to win.

Time and again,
There were endless delays,
Time and again,
There were countless changes,
This left us completely frustrated,
Time and again,
Our hopes got shattered,
As we were left,
Torn and tattered.
But every single time,
We put it all behind,
And made a fresh effort,
With just one sole intention,
We just had to succeed,
We just had to win,
We just had to make autoport 2.0,
A roaring success

We had to make several changes,
In our lifestyle,
We learnt to spend sleepless nights,
Sometimes in the hub,
Sometimes on football ground,
We learnt to live without food,
For hours at a stretch,
We learnt to live without sleep,
For days at a stretch
We kept bunking lectures,
At times even pracs,
With just one sole intention,
We just had to succeed,
We just had to win.
We just had to make autoport 2.0,
A roaring success

The month passed so quickly,
Without any of us even realizing it
Everyone did a fine job,
Only then was possible,
For this event to become,
A visitor’s heartthrob

The journey has been memorable,
The journey has been exciting,
We have gained so much,
We have enjoyed so much,
That now post autoport 2.0,
Life would become so boring,
So monotonous and dull,
Oh, I feel so bad about it,
I feel so sad about it,
But alas, we can do nothing about it.

Autoport 2.0, for us,
It is an inspiration,
Now we have ourselves to beat,
We have to keep moving on,
We have to keep bucking up,
We have to keep progressing,
We have to keep improving,
We have to keep winning……………..


Dedicated to all those who made it possible!!....three cheers for the entire autoport team!!....three cheers for SRA!!..................

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!!

Straight from the heart!!

I couldn’t think of any other title…except this one, coz it’s really written straight from my heart…straight from my soul!!!!...

You won’t ever be a part of my life,
Coz you are my soul,
You are my whole.
You are my love,
You are my life,
I’ll be there for you physically,
Till death takes us apart,
But even beyond,
My presence shall be felt,
Till every cube of ice shall melt,
Till every grain of sand disappears,
Till every drop in the mighty oceans,
Shall cease to exist
I’ll be there for you,
Forever,
I’ll be there till infinity,
I’ll be there till eternity.

You are the sole reason,
For my existence
You are my morning sun,
You are my twinkling stars,
You are my day,
You are my night,
You are my way,
You are my light.
You are my dreams,
You are my reality,
You are my angel,
You are my God.
You won’t ever be a part of my life,
Coz you are my soul,
You are my whole.
You are my love,
You are my life….

You are the sole reason,
For my existence
You are my journey,
You are my destination.
You are my country,
You are my religion.
You are my adventure,
You are my fantasy.
You are my joy,
You are my ecstasy.
You are my smile,
For you, my love,
I can walk many a mile,
Even with bare feet,
In the scorching heat,
You are my angel,
You are my God,
You won’t ever be a part of my life,
Coz you are my soul,
You are my whole.
You are my love,
You are my life….

You are my whole.
You are my love,
You are my life.
I’ll be there for you,
Forever,
I’ll be there till infinity,
I’ll be there till eternity……..

BRUISED AND TATTERED!!

Bruised and tattered!!

I have struggled enough,
I have had enough,
My plans keep getting foiled,
All the hours I toiled,
They go in vain,
Down the drain,
Yet again

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

Be patient, just wait,
You’ll get your due soon,
This is what my folks say,
This is what my friends say
But as usual,
Fate plays spoilsport,
As another vital task,
Slips out of my hand

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

I keep asking,
Why me and only me,
Every single time,
But I get no answer,
I get no reply.
Doesn’t anyone care,
About the number of hours I fry,
In the scorching afternoon sun?
Doesn’t anyone care about the hours I work,
Late at nights, even early mornings?
I have been waiting for my turn,
Since the past nine years,
But as usual,
Fate plays spoilsport,
As another vital task,
Slips out of my hand

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

Who is to be blamed,
For this miserable condition?
Is it my own fault,
Or just my poor fate?
Why do our elders teach us,
God helps those who help themselves,
Why are we taught,
Work hard and you will succeed.
Why are we taught such lies,
Why are we shied from,
The harsh realities of life.

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please.

I have struggled enough,
I have had enough,
I too have dreams,
I too have ambitions,
I want to be rich,
I want to be famous,
Even I want to achieve,
I want to receive,
Praises and accolades.
I too want a stable life,
I too want to live,
At least one day,
Without a smirk,
At least one day,
Without a frown
I want to enjoy,
I too seek happiness,
But life has always given,
Pain and unending distress,
Every single day,
For the past nine years.

I am left begging,
I am left wanting,
Now completely bruised and tattered,
My life’s in shambles,
Help me now,
Help me recover,
From this shock,
From this pain,
Support me now,
Support me please .......

THE MAN WE CALL FATHER!!

The man we call father!!

Dedicated to Dad!!

A child is emotionally attached to his mother,
But about the man we call our father,
We never even bother.
A father always gets sidelined,
As we never try to find,
What is going on in his mind.

For us, he is just another man,
Who shells out big bucks when we need,
Who pays for our education, our parties,
But beyond that, do we even care,
Do we even bother?
About the man we call our father….

He comes home late evening,
Or at times, even at night,
But instead of asking how is he doing,
We burden him with petty sibling fights,
Do we ever ask him how his day was?
No, we don’t even care,
We don’t even bother,
About the man we call our father.

We often criticize his ill habits,
But do we ever appreciate,
The way he handles problems,
The way he manages everything
We just don’t care,
We just don’t bother,
About the man we call our father.

But today we take this opportunity,
To thank God, for having gifted us,
Such a wonderful, at times a bit stern,
Yet a truly kind-hearted guy,
Who we call our Dad

Today we apologize to you, Dad,
For all the innumerable times,
That we have hurt you,
And made you go really mad,
For all the times, that,
We made you cry,
We made you weep.

Today we apologize to you, dad,
For all the promises that,
We never did keep.
But today, we say this,
With a big smile,
We love you,

We care for you,
We really need the man,
Who we call our father……….

"WE "symbolizes…both myself and my younger brother!!

p.s....luv u, Dad!!

PROMISE!!

Promise!!

The poem describes all the principles that a mother wants her child to follow and the promises that she wants her child to keep

Right from childhood,
You are given,
Just one advice
Come what may,
Never break any damn promise.
But you keep repeating the same mistakes,
Time and again,
As your mother’s words go in vain,
Yet again

Promise you will never follow the path of violence,
And will you always maintain dignity and silence
Whenever others entice you to fight,
Promise me you will never showcase your might.

Promise you will always complete your tasks on time,
Coz a stitch in time saves nine
Promise you will always be regular and methodical,
And never will you do anything shameful and disgraceful
Promise that you will always be ready,
To help the poor and the needy,
And never will you be selfish or greedy.

Promise you will treat everyone as equal,
And never will you hurt a human or animal
Promise me you will never accept things from a stranger,
And promise me you’ll stick on to my words forever.

Right from childhood,
You are given,
Just one advice
Come what may,
Never break any damn promise.
But you keep repeating the same mistakes,
Time and again,
As your mother’s words go in vain,
Yet again

Promise that you will always be a good guy,
And never will you swear or utter a lie
Promise that always you will keep aiming for the pinnacle,
And never will you be disheartened by debacle
Promise your love for anything or anybody will be selfless,
And never with your words or actions,
Will you cause anyone distress

Promise me that you will have immense patriotism,
And never will you resort to any kind of fanaticism.
Promise me you’ll never hurt anyone’s feeling,
And to my words will you forever cling
Promise you’ll keep all the promises,
Promise you’ll cling to my advices.

Right from childhood,
You are given,
Just one advice
Come what may,
Never break any damn promise.
But you keep repeating the same mistakes,
Time and again,
As your mother’s words go in vain,
Yet again

Hope, after reading this, you will start keeping promises...

TIED DOWN AT HOME!!

Tied down at home!!

This poem describes the life of a person who is fed up of being tied down at home, due to various reasons such as his health, sometimes the natural calamities and sometimes due to even the terror attacks and man-made calamities…..


Tied down at home,
Due to severe cough,
Here I am,
Cursing the cold weather so rough,
Here I am,
Wishing my body was a bit tough.
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

Tied down at home,
Due to non-availability of trains,
Here I am,
Cursing the weather, cursing the rains,
Tied down at home,
Here I am,
Feeling the mental pain,
Hoping my fate would change,
But in vain, yet again
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

Tied down at home,
Due to fright, due to fear,
Fear of being killed,
Fear of being slaughtered,
Fear of being shot at,
Fear of being burnt alive.
Here I am,
Hoping for world peace,
Here I am,
Wishing this ongoing tension would cease
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

I wish the weather would change,
I wish my health would improve soon.
I wish the world would change,
I wish the society would improve soon.
But what you wish is not what you get,
What you get is a life,
Equivalent to a thousand deaths
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please.

Happiness has always eluded me in the past,
And I am turning into a pessimist fast,
After every dark cloud,
There’s always a silver lining,
But when will this dark cloud blow,
I seriously do not know
I am continuously whining,
As my mental pain continues to grow
My life is at a mode, so decisive,
There must be some good things I ought to receive.
But why does joy always elude me,
I ask you, God, reply me please……

PSYCHOPATH!!

Psychopath!!

This poem is inspired from some of the novels (about psychopath killers) that i have read over the past few years....hope this poem does justice to their mindset!!

Right from high school,
Even in college,
All I ever received was,
Refusal and contempt.
I still remember their devilish laughs,
Comments that hurt me even now.
That’s when I decided,
I’ll break free from this cage,
I’ll surely avenge,
My dejection, my humiliation.
But now my traumatic past,
It doesn’t even matter.
Coz I am damn sure,
My future will be much better,
Coz my tormentors shall die,
Each one will be slaughtered,
Cut into tiny pieces,
That shall lay scattered,
Till time eternal.
I have turned myself,
Into a psychopath,
I am really proud of it,
Happy that I have evolved.
There’s nothing now that can curb my wrath,
There’s nothing that can stop me, the psychopath.

What was my mistake, do tell me,
Why was I always treated,
Like a lowly branch,
Of an ever expanding tree.
Why was I never loved,
Why was I never cared,
All these years,
I still remember their devilish laughs,
Comments that hurt me even now.
But now my past doesn’t even matter,
Coz my future will be better.
There’s nothing now that can curb my wrath,
There’s nothing that can stop me, the psychopath.

Why was I always treated like any outsider,
Or just a bystander,
Or a beggar by the roadside,
Why wasn’t there ever anyone,
To support me, by my side.
All these years,
I still remember their devilish laughs,
Comments that hurt me even now.
But now my past doesn’t even matter,
Coz my future will be better.
There’s nothing now that can curb my wrath,
There’s nothing that can stop me, the psychopath.

Seven people, one each day,
I’ll kill them all,
Each time in an unique way.
I shall devour their last cries,
I shall laugh ever so loudly,
Every time each one dies.
I shall take revenge,
I shall surely avenge,
My dejection, my humiliation.
All these years,
I still remember their devilish laughs,
Comments that hurt me even now.
But now my past doesn’t even matter,
Coz my future will be better.
There’s nothing now that can curb my wrath,
There’s nothing that can stop me, the psychopath….

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I am publishing this post one day in advance......

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Today is the thirty first of December,
A day that everyone does remember.

Tonight we usher in a new year,
We celebrate this special occasion,
With everyone so dear

As the clock strikes twelve,
The lights are put off,
The crackers are burst,
Greetings are showered,
And hugs are given.

It’s a moment of pure bliss,
A moment you otherwise miss.
This instant we all cherish,
Simultaneously, we also see,
The effigy of the old man,
Burn and perish.

We say goodbye to the evil,
And all its many a devil,
We pray for a new era, a new age,
A new beginning.
We forget all the pain, all the rage,
For the time-being,

We enjoy this day,
In a very pompous way
To our celebration and manner,
There’s certain amount of grandeur,
Coz it’s indeed a new beginning,
A new year,
Where untravelled paths lay,
And the path starts from today.

The past year was good,
Hope this one will be better.
I wish there will be no interlude,
To joy and happiness,
Hope there will be no fear, no tear,
To everyone,
This coming year

I wish one and all a happy new year,
I hope your joy lasts forever,
I hope your sweet smile stays this way,

Forever, forever......

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS!!!!....luv u all!!

HUMANS...!!!

Humans…!!!

This is not exactly a poem but a few stanzas, written in a haphazard way…and I admit, it could have been better put…but I hope, I strike a chord with the readers, and hope what I wish to portray through the poem can be understood by all….cheers!!


What are humans exactly,
I do want to make out,
I want to understand their race,
In spite of them being complicated.

Humans are known to be technology crazy,
Always keen on experimenting and progressing,
Yet, why do they cherish an obsolete gramophone,
To add to the grandeur of the living room.
Why do they dream to buy a brand-new Porsche,
Yet they also cherish a nineteenth century wagon,
Isn’t that known as duplicity…

Humans are big-time hypocrites,
Lectures are given to villagers,
To stop being obsolete and superstitious,
Yet, why does the city crowd read the astrology forecast daily,
And why do they change their names,
Just for the sake of numerology,
Yeah, that’s nothing but two-facedness.

Humans are heartless,
As countless animals are slaughtered,
In the name of food or offering,
Why don’t they ever see these animals suffering…..
Yet sometimes the same humans fight,
For protection and ethical treatment of animals.
Humans are indeed strange,
And I am talking about humans of any age.
They always need someone,
By their side or on the phone.
Yet, why is it that they tell,
The same person to leave them alone,
In moments of anger or grief.

Humans are indeed eccentric,
I also think they are immensely lazy.
At times, they fake they are unwell,
Just to save them the trouble,
Or at times, they work double,
In spite of being really weak and pale.

So, what are humans exactly,
I do want to make out,
I do want to understand their race,
In spite of them being complicated.

Technology is expanding,
But so is violence.
Medicines are being created,
But so are death inflicting weapons.
Peace is being constantly talked about,
Yet no one does anything,
To stop the ever-existing apprehension of war.
Yeah, humans are indeed power-thirsty mongrels.

Humans are dumb and claim they are helpless,
Humans are born idiots and claim they are improving.
Humans tame animals and claim they are the greatest,
They have made calamities detecting instruments,
Yet animals sense earthquakes before they do.
Humans cry for food and shelter,
Yet animals build their own house and earn their prey.

It’s time to give the humans some advice,
Learn from the bees, who sacrifice,
Just for the happiness of one queen.
Learn to unite like the ants,
Learn persistence from the spider,
But can the arrogant all-knowing humans learn,
I don’t think so.

I find it slightly disheartening,
To see the humans tame the poor animals.
If it were the other way around,
Life would have been so much better,
The city would have been so much safer,
The world would have been so much happier,
But alas, what you wish is not what you get,
And one would never ever achieve,
Complete happiness and world peace,
Due to the self-proclaimed greatest creatures,
The so-called humans......


So humans, prove that you are the greatest living creatures on earth. Do something!!!….hope this satirical take on your race and this criticism will make you improve and make this world a better place to live in…….cheers!!

KICKED OUT!!

Kicked out!!

The poem describes the feelings of a person who was fired from his job recently…

I have been in quite a shock,
For the past couple of days.
I am spending my time,
Trying to retrospect, trying to understand,
How did I get into such a sorry state.
What went wrong with my life,
Where did I lose focus and direction,
And how did my life draw closer,
To such a motionless still state.
And why was I kicked out,

That too, all of a sudden,
I haven’t the faintest idea,
I haven’t the smallest clue...

Now, I keep blaming myself,
For all that has happened.
I am holding myself responsible,
For all the grudges,
People at work held against me,
For all my failures,
For all the battles that I quit midway,
And others that I lost comprehensively.

But I always put in my best efforts.
Then why was I kicked out,

That too, all of a sudden,
I still haven’t the faintest idea,
I still haven’t the faintest clue.

Why did everyone around,
Ditch me all of a sudden.
They expected me to shoulder,
Such a huge burden.
I was given many a mighty task,
That was definitely more than what I could accomplish.
But I tried my best,
Yet, unfortunately, failed their test
Thus, I was kicked out,

That too, all of a sudden,

To sit at home and rest...

I am, rather was,
The only earning member,
Of my family of six.
But circumstances changed so drastically,
And now I am in a total fix,
Also completely worn out,
Both physically and mentally.
I used to laugh mockingly when,

I heard news of people getting fired.
But never did I realize,
That such a thing could happen to me,
That too, all of a sudden.
But now I know how it feels,
To be kicked out.
Yeah, it sure kills!!!!

The classifieds section of the newspapers,
That I had never bothered to check,
Is now my only hope for survival.
I keep praying day and night,
To relieve me from this pain and fright.
Get me a job quickly, please,
Even a meagre salary would suffice.
Show me bright sunshine again,

I shout out loud,
Enough of this dark cloud.
Enough of this rain.

God, somehow please ease this pain.
I am getting awful nightmares of late,
God, please get rid of them soon.
Do something, get me employed,
Coz I have talent, I know.
But one thing I still do not know,
Is that why was I kicked out,

That too, all of a sudden.
But now, I know how it feels,
The pain of being jobless is excruciating,
And yeah, it sure kills!!!!!!............

A STRANGE DREAM!!

A Strange dream!!

She came in my dreams yesterday,
For the very first time.
However,
The time we spent together,
Was enough for me to know,
Yeah, she’s the one,
The only one,
I am gonna spend,
My remaining life with her,
That’s for sure,
Definitely…

She was wearing a pretty, crimson gown,
Awesome.
Her presence made me go tickle pink,
Aww, her looks,
Breathtaking.
Hey, I do not want to wake up.
She’s my soul mate, my life,
And I am gonna marry her,
That’s for sure,
Definitely…

I told about this dream to my mother,
Who burst out laughing.
Wake up, sonny,
It was a dream,
There ain’t a real girl.
Dejected.
I tried to convince her,
She exists, mom.
Yeah, she does.
How am I gonna find her,
A big question.
Where am I gonna meet her,
A mighty question.
Did she have the same dream,
A million-dollar question.
Lots of questions but no answers,
But yeah, I am gonna find her,
I am gonna meet her,
I am gonna marry her.
That’s for sure,
Definitely…

Twelve months passed,
Very quickly,
I had almost forgotten about her.
But destiny had other things in store,
Just for me.
That particular day, I was in a bit of a hurry,
I was already late,
And there was very slim chance,
Of me catching the desired train.
As I reached the platform,
The train was gone,
But towards the far-end I could see,
A girl bent over her knees,
Picking up some stuff I couldn’t see.
I went towards her,
May I help you, I suggested.
She tilted her head slightly.
And I immediately had a sense of deja-vu.
The same crimson gown,
The same breathtaking looks,
My dream…
She had recognized me even,
I was surprised..
Her eyes said it all,
Yeah, she was looking out for me,
For the past twelve months.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of relief,
Or was it elation,
I do not know...


Now, twenty years have passed,
We are married,
Have teenaged twins and still very much in love..
Dreams are meant to be pursued,
Mother always said,
Thank goodness, this one got fulfilled,
One thing’s for sure,
This one dream twenty- one years ago,
It was the only real dream of my life,
That’s for sure,
Definitely….


Well, friends, you might call it fantasy….but hear it from the horse’s mouth….it’s true!!

ONE LAST TRY!!

One last try!!

This poem describes the feelings of a guy who was in love, but didn't confess it and now he sees the girl going out with someone else...in short, it's a poem very close to reality....

Why didn’t I give it one last try,
Alas, now there’s nothing I can do,
But whimper and cry.
Why didn’t I give myself one chance,
Why didn’t I confess my love for her.
Why didn’t I muster enough courage,
And just ask her out once.
Well, she could have denied,
To be my companion,
But at least I ought to have tried,
Just once I should have brought my thoughts,
To her notice and attention…

But now, there’s no point thinking,
What I should have done,
The thing is, I didn’t express my feeling,
And now this pain of loneliness is excruciating,
And I don’t think it’s even healing.
Why didn’t I give it one last try,
Alas, now there’s nothing I can do,
But whimper and cry.

We have been nice friends now for almost an year,
And I didn’t want our friendship to end,
That’s why I didn’t ask her out,
It wasn’t fear of refusal,
Or lack of pluck,
But just I didn’t want to lose her,
As a friend, a sweet buddy, so dear.

But now as I see her with that tall, muscular guy,
I just ask myself one small thing,
Why didn’t I give it one last try,
Alas, now there’s nothing I can do,
But whimper and cry.

I am a bit jealous about the pair.
And I am trying my best to forget
That once I had a crush on her.
It’s really hard to forget your first love,
Harder if it’s as gorgeous as her.
I liked every trait of her,
And I wished to be with her forever.
Yeah, she was a bit dumb at times,
But she had managed to put a smile,
On my usually solemn face,
That too many a times.

I wish I could have given it one try,
But alas, now I can do nothing about it,
But whimper and cry.
I wish her all the happiness in the world,
I wish her all the best,
After all, in my opinion,
she’s just the best……

EXPERIMENTING WITH HINDI!!....my first venture..MAIN NAHI JAANTA!!

My first hindi poem or shayari…whatever you prefer to call it….

Main nahi jaanta!!

Chup chap kamre ke ek kone mein,
Baitha rehta hoon main,
Sham savere.
Kuch nahi soochta hain mujhe,
Unn saekdon palon mein,
Par man mein ummeed ki kiran,
Jagroot hamesha rehti hain.
Kash koi mujhe iss halat mein dekhe,
Mere bhaavnaon ko samjhe,
Aur pyaar se do lafz kahe.
Meethe se aur sneh bhare,
Jo bhula de meri saari pareshaniya,
Aise shabd jo mita de sabhi duriya,
Par ab tak na aisa hua,
Kya aage aise hoga,
Main nahi jaanta…..

Mujhe kyon nahi dikh raha hain mera bhavishya,
Kyon iss chote se kamre mein hi,
Simta hain mera aaj,
Meri phooti kismet ka kya hain raaz,
Main nahi jaanta.
Kaha kho gaya jeevan ka saara ras,
Kab nikhregi chaaro ore phir se khushiyali,
Main nahi jaanta.
Har pal aasu kyon tapakte hain aakhon se,
Main nahi jaanta…..

Aye zindagi, kis suran mein dhakela hain tune mujhe,
Jaha se bahar nikalne ka marg,
Main nahi jaanta.
Aye zindagi, beech raaste mein,
Kyon chod diya tune mera saath,
Iss kuwe se ubharne ka khwaab liye,
Jeeta ja raha hoon main.
Aye zindagi, iss sadme se Ubhar paoonga ki nahi,
Main nahi jaanta…..

Suna tha bhagwan sabko chappar fadke deta hain,
Toh kyon nahi di usne mujhe do waqt ki roti,
Kyon nahi diya usne mujhe hausla,
Sab thik ho jaayega,
Yeh kyon nahi diya dilasa,
Kyon ek bhakt ko yu tadapne ke liye chod diya,
Main nahi jaanta….

Chup chap kamre k eek kone mein,
Baitha rehta hoon main,
Sham- savere.
Kab tak yu hi kat ta rahega mera jeevan,
Main nahi jaanta.
Jeetegi mrut hoon main,
Par mukti kab prapt hogi,
Main nahi jaanta.
Main nahi jaanta………


So, Tell me, how's my first attempt?...i know I am not good in hindi, but I need feedback, suggestions on this new venture of mine…so be free to comment…criticism highly welcomed!!...cheers!!

NEGLECTED!!

Neglected!!

I am feeling neglected,
As if people are secretly wishing I was dead.
I am very disappointed,
As when any step I tread,
The road seems to vanish from under my feet.
I am feeling left out,
And there’s gradually building in me,
An immense amount of self-doubt.

I am feeling neglected,
As if people are secretly wishing I was dead.
The people who I called my very own,
Are not supporting me anymore.
The people whom I had trusted,
Have in turn betrayed me.
And thus, my life has arrived,
At such a dead-end.

I am feeling neglected,
As if people are secretly wishing I was dead.
I did only those things, that
Suited me the most.
Initially, I even had the support,
Of colleagues, family and friends.
But they just left me hanging,
And now, all my past decisions I keep repenting.

I am feeling neglected,
As if people are secretly wishing I was dead.
I had all the things that I wanted,
Coz I was always given everything I demanded.
Then, why wasn’t I given peace and freedom,
Or a solution to my never-ending tiredness and boredom.
I was gifted things I desired,
But why was I shielded from those I deserved.

I am feeling neglected,
As if people are secretly wishing I was dead.
Why is my life so confusing,
And why am I alone and weeping.
The ones who let me down weren’t crooks or thugs,
They were my colleagues,my family, my friends.
I feel, now,there’s only one solution,
To seek companionship of alcohol and drugs.

I wish my life would change,
And somehow, it would pacify my rage.
I seek someone who would be my guardian,
And who would relieve me from this pain and tension.
I seek divine intervention,
Who would bring in me a transformation.
But what one seeks is not always what one gets,
What one gets is a life equivalent to a thousand deaths……

DESERTED!!

Deserted!!

This poem describes the feelings of a guy after he was deserted by his friends…


I always thought friendship was eternal,
But circumstances have made me think otherwise.
Like most other relations in this world,
Even friendship is mortal,
And every happy memory eventually turns into a nightmare.

I haven’t the faintest idea what went wrong,
But I just drifted apart from the rest.
People used to be envy of our group,
And even I was elated to be a member,
Of this eccentric, fun-loving group.

If I knew it had to someday end,
I would have been better prepared.
But it was all so unexpected.
Now, my heart’s bleeding,
But is there any use crying.

All these years, I had this one fear,
I would eventually lose everyone dear.
My phobia has now become a reality,
As I was suddenly shown the door,
Yeah, it’s true; they don’t care for me anymore.

No, I am not contemplating suicide,
But it does matter that my buddies are not by my side.
Without them, I will always feel incomplete.
Their presence had made my life synchronous,
And now it will soon become monotonous.

I do not blame my friends,
For all that has taken place.
I must be responsible for all this fiasco,
I ought to realize this soon,
There must be some truth to their unpleasant allegations.

Yeah, I know I should have been more high-spirited,
And not the silent types, the boring ones.
I should have been more of an extrovert,
But still, they should have understood.
Now, I am truly hurt at being treated like dirt.

I am experiencing an unending wave of sadness,
There’s also developing in me,
A tincture of madness.
All my dreams ended in just one single moment,
As my life gave me yet another irreparable dent.

Life’s such a mighty examination,
Such calamities prove this notion.
I need to look into the future,
Maybe God has better things in store for me.
I have to forget this incident soon,
Coz, after every dark night,
There’s always another day.
I have to keep smiling,
Even though my heart’s crying,
Coz, there’s always a glimmer of hope; a ray,
There’s always a way,
There’s always a way…….

LEAD US!!!

Lead us!!!

.
This poem is a kind of a vague desire expressed in the form of a prayer!!!...the plural form “us”,” we” symbolizes that this desire is commonly expressed by more than one individual…


Lead us to some faraway place,
Where the wind blows constantly over our face.
Where we can observe the swaying of the trees,
And where the whole world will seem to freeze.

Lead us to the countryside,
Where we can see greenery by our side,
Where we can see the flowers blossom,
And gazing at them we can say, “They’re awesome!”

Lead us to the lush green meadow,
Where life seems to amble so slow.
Where there’s no need to hurry,
And we can enjoy life,
Without facing the brunt of people’s fury.

Lead us to the wonderland,
Where everything’s available to us,
Only at one flick of a magic wand.

Lead us to the forests deep,
And away from this brutal world,
That constantly makes us weep.

I want to hear the birds chirping,
And not the neighbours quarrelling.
I want to enjoy the creations of You, the Almighty Lord,
And not hear the constant bickering of the landlord.

Lead us to a place full of pleasure,
Where we can enjoy a complete day full of leisure.
Lead us to lands till now concealed,
Where with joy our lives can be filled.

Lead us on adventures and many a trek,
But far away from this world so fake
.Take us on a mighty excursion,
But away from this life of congestion.

Lead us to a place where there’s no cruelty,
Where there’s no crime, no poverty.
Take us to any damn place, in any country,
Where there’s no responsibility, no worry.

Lead us, Lord; we don’t want to live here,
Where there’s torture inflicted upon everyone so dear.
Lead us to Paradise, we don’t mind dying,
At least, it must be way better than such a living………………….

CRICKET----THE GREATEST GAME, IS IT??!!

Cricket----the greatest game, is it??!!

This poem is a satire on the over-hyped game of cricket.. it describes all the existing flaws in Indian cricket…so, if u r a cricket lover, better skip this one!!!



Ask any Indian to pick one sport that is great,
And out comes the reply, “It’s cricket!”
Cricket is “said to be” a gentleman’s game,
That has given thousands name and fame.
All over the world, it is played by millions,
And, more so, it is watched by billions.
Whenever India is on the verge of a win,
On our faces, we do have a wide grin.
Now, think about the various occasions,
When our cricketers have let us down,
And immediately their posters are burnt down,
And nasty slogans about them are said throughout the town.
In India, cricketers are “demi-gods”,
And when India loses, they are turned into frauds.
Do you remember the incidents “Down under”,
When one of their cricketers was called a “Bandar”.
Imagine the amount of sledging,
These players nowadays indulge in.
Imagine the extent of cheating,
They do to snatch a win.
Where has the spirit of sportsmanship disappeared,
How can you call cricket a gentleman’s game,
When such incidents continue to spoil its name…


To develop the game of cricket,
Number of boards we have set.
But do we really bother to know,
What happens to the millions it hoards.
We need cricketers to run the board,
And not some dumb, politicians.
All BCCI cares about is money,
Someone ought to stop this tyranny.
The board appoints a bunch of selectors,
But only one or two of them,
Have ever played at the highest level.
Do you know the biggest irony,
The rest haven’t even played at the grass root level.
Many a times, these “jokers” select a player,
Who, in his entire cricketing career,
Has done nothing but was a complete failure.
They say he deserves “another chance”,
In other cases, why is someone “rested”,
In spite of scoring a hundred.
They say this guy has “aged”,
God, wake me up only when this hypocrisy ends…


Why is there so much hype in India surrounding cricket,
I do not have the answer till date.
Why can’t people enjoy a Federer-Nadal clash,
It’s way better than some India-Bangladesh match.
Why can’t one enjoy an hour and half of soccer,
Than watch a cricket match that stretches forever.
Now, if I ask you to pick out one sport that is great,
Out “should” come your reply,
IT’S ANYTHING, MATE,
BUT DEFINITELY, NOT CRICKET!!!!!!

FRIENDS TILL DEATH!!...AND EVEN, BEYOND!!

Friends till death!!...and even, beyond!!



[This poem describes true friendship until death plays spoilsport…the guy who is narrating this poem is dying and has been rather unfortunate in life, yet he has been a very happy-go-lucky sort of person. and now for the first time, he’s cursing his life…he has lost all his family members at a very tender age and now has just his friends to add colour to his life….VERY TOUCHING!!..thts how i can describe this poem!!]








Life can be a bit cruel at times,
People always said so, but I never cared.
Life always gives you a hundred reasons to cry,
But, in my case, just one is enough to make me weep.
It’s high time I realize a fact,
With Death, I’ve made a pact.
No more than four days I am going to live,
But, in return, to my dear friends,
Hundred years He ought to give…

It’s really unfortunate for me, that
Life hasn’t given me another chance,
To meet my lovely buddies, my companions, my friends,
Friends who shared jokes while we ate,
Friends who kept pulling my leg time and again,
Friends with whom I’ve partied,
Friends who have cured many of my problems,
Friends who at times, have even been my problem,
Friends who taught me how to live,
But, in turn, I have never had anything to give.
I do not need my friends beside me anymore,
Coz they should now learn to live without me.
I do not need their sympathy and support,
Nor do I need love from them.
I’ve given them enough trouble already,
No more pain shall I give them at this fag end of my life.
With every passing breath, I realize,
I am another inch closer to death.
With Death, I’ve made a pact.
No more than four days I am going to live,
But, in return, to my dear friends,
Hundred years He ought to give…

Lying on the creaking bed in my hospital room,
My mind drifts to happier times,
To the most memorable moments I’ve spent with them,
Playing cricket or football in the rain.
We shared the same love; the same passion,
We shared the same zeal; the same enthusiasm,
For sports, movies, and in general, life.
They helped me stand, they helped me recover,
From many setbacks and unavoidable circumstances.
But in a couple of days time,
It’s really gonna be all over.
My time has come to part,
I’ve realized deep inside my heart.
I begin to miss them; I begin to weep,
Suddenly, I feel another pang of pain,
I begin to choke; I begin to hyperventilate,
And for the first time in my life,
I begin to curse God; I begin to curse fate...............


[ He passed away three days later, but he has left behind countless memories and an ideal example of friendship….may he rest in peace!!!]

WE SEEK PEACE!!!

We seek peace!!

I am feeling extremely traumatized,
To see the extent of massacre that is happening.
These terrorists have an unassailable amount of fanaticism,
Instead why can’t they have even the slightest feeling,
Of humanity and patriotism.

Seeing the grave calamity on television,
I am left wondering how bad would be the real situation.
I see the terrified look on the faces,
Of people belonging to different religions and races.
Innocent civilians have been left stranded,
But that’s slightly better than being dead.
At least, for them, there’s slight hope for survival.
But, in this world of fear and panic,
Is there any hope for revival.

I look into the eyes of the families of the deceased,
All I can see is hatred and utmost grief and despair.
It’s such a pity that,
For all that has happened,
There’s no cure, no repair.
From this worst extent of manslaughter.

I see the terrorists holding many a gun,
I can see the sadistic pleasure,
As they see people panic and run.
They begin to shoot and BANG…
At the same time, another bomb blows off,
Another hundreds die,
But alas, we can do nothing about it but cry…

I am feeling traumatized and full of grief,
But to see my family and friends safe,
There’s even a slight feeling of relief.
What the FUCK is going on, I ask,
Someone explain it to me, please.
I can stand this pain no more,
I begin to cry; I begin to weep.
At the same time, another blast blows off,
Another hundreds die,
But alas, we can do nothing about it but cry…

Tonight, I take a pledge,
I’ll do the best I can,
To save my country; To save this world.
I’ll stop these terrorists; these bastards,
I’ll fight them like any brave stud.
I need your support; your co-operation,
Only then can succeed this difficult operation.
We’ll eventually wipe them off completely,
Coz, we are united, like one big family.
We’ll end up being victorious,
Coz, it’s we who are true and virtuous.
We will do it eventually,
Coz we are one big family……..

JAI HIND!!....

p.s ….this poem is dedicated to all the civilians, armed forces men who have laid their lives for the country….we promise that their work will not go in vain….jai hind!!!!!!!

PRISON!!

Prison!!

I don’t know where my life’s heading,
There’s no path ahead, no hope,
Only an ocean full of solitude and darkness.
For all the sins that I’ve committed,
There’s no cure, no repair.
Sitting in a six by six room,
As, clutching my forehead, I sit,
I feel I’ve let down my own self.
But there’s no point feeling guilty now,
There’s no use begging for mercy now.
I have to stay here for life,
Yeah, there’s no place worse than prison….

I am really feeling homesick now,
I am missing my wife and daughter,
Why did I, in the first place, steal and slaughter,
Men, women and innocent children.
I have, in the past, been tergiversate,
That resulted in plenty of enemies and foes,
To add to my list of existing woes.
It has left me tattered and devastated,
So I had to take these extreme steps.
But there’s no point feeling guilty now,
There’s no use begging for mercy now.
I have to stay here for life,
Yeah, there’s no place worse than prison….

Sometimes I imagine my old buddies,
Waiting for me outside the premises.
They’ll forgive me, I know.
I am missing my group, I really am.
I wish I had one last chance,
To chat with them; To laugh with them.
Just for a moment, a second,
But one that I’ll never forget.
But there’s no point feeling guilty now,
There’s no use begging for my release now.
I have to stay here for life,
Yeah, there’s no place worse than prison….

My inmates here are brutal dogs,
Savage mongrels they really are.
Life of celibacy has made them really frustrated,
And some of them have even turned gay.
They like expressing their frustration,
On a new inmate like me.
I can see their sadistic pleasure,
As they continue to exploit and abuse guys like me.
I should have tried to entrench myself,
In a stable job; a career.
It would have surely prevented my life,
From ending in such a trench.
But there’s no point repenting now,
There’s no use begging for mercy now.
I have to stay here for life,
Yeah, there’s no place worse than prison….

I don’t know where my life’s heading,
There’s no path ahead, no hope,
Only an ocean full of solitude and darkness.
Daily, for more than an hour,
We have to stay queued,
For obtaining just a morsel of food,
That is both inedible and crude.
Countless swears that I must have muttered under my breath,
Only thing that would relieve me from this pain is death.
I am missing every pleasant memory,
That is soon going to be a part of history.
Sins of the past continue to haunt me,
My life continues to taunt me.
My misery has become an integral part of me,
But deep inside, I still hope to be free.
There’s no point feeling guilty now,
There’s no use hoping for my release now.
I have to stay here for life,
Yeah, there’s no place worse than prison….

TO YOU, MY MOTHER!!

To you , my mother!!

Today I really want to say something,
To you, my mother, my creator.
Thank You, for everything you've done,
I need you, I really do,
Please stay by my side forever....

I remember a day of the past,
When you held my little finger,
Took me to school the very first day.
I was crying, terribly upset,
Coz i didn't want to stay away from you.
I remember how i used to cry,
When every morning you went to the dispensary.
I needed you then, i need you even now.
I need your guidance, your advice.
I need your backing, your support.
Today I really want to say something,
To you, my mother, my creator,
Over the past few years,
You've become my guide, my mentor,
I need you, i really do,
Please stay by my side forever....

I am indeed very lucky,
To have a mother as sweet as you.
I am indeed very lucky,
To have someone who cares for me,
Who appreciates my achievements with glee,
Yet equally stern when i am wrong.
You have a heart of gold, my mother,
Please stay by my side forever.
You have always shielded me from pain and torment,
You also made me mentally tough,
To withstand all the storms that are rough.
You have been very lenient,
Yet never let me cross the forbidden lines of discipline.
You taught me how to live,
But in turn,i've nothing to give.
People adore my nature now,
They find me really kind and mature,
It's all because of you, my mother,
Please stay by my side forever.
Countless times that I argue with you for more freedom,
Yet you bear with me, with never a frown.
I love being with my friends,
But that doesn't mean i hate being with you.
I love eating outside,
But I do relish food made by you.
I forever want to be under your protection and care,
Without you, Life would tear me apart.
I need you, I really do,
Please stay by my side forever.....

All the things that you've done for me,
I promise, they'll never go waste.
For you, i am more than ready,
Just to put my life at stake,
And this assurance is anything but fake.
Thank you, my mother, my creator,
For everything that you've done.
I need you, I really do,
Please stay by my side forever........

p.s.....luv u, mom!!

POISON!!

Poison!!

The poem describes the hazards of smoking, drinking and even doping...in an unique way.....(hey, i deserve an award from the health ministry for this conribution to their no smoking/no drinking campaign)

I never seem to understand why people smoke,
It's a poison that ruins a fine, young bloke.
Why do i see people dope,
They say, their life's a waste;
There's no hope for survival,

But by doping, would there be a revival.
Why do i see people drowned,
In the vast oceans of alcohol,
Why is it that that they can't stand a fall,
When will they end it all.....

I never seem to understand,
Why is it, that the countless pressures that they can't withstand.
Why are they in so much of distress,
Why do they need a cigarette to relieve this stress.
Some think, drinking or doping is cool,
When will they realize they are nothing but a fool.
Why do people drink to forget their sorrow,
Why can't they just work harder for a better tomorrow.
Why is it that people can't stand a fall,
When will they end it all.....

I never seem to understand why people smoke,
It's a poison that ruins a fine, young bloke.
Why, in parties, do they need a drink in their hand,
Is it elixir coming out from a magic wand.
It all began in the late teens; it continues even now,
Some say, by smoking, you can stay awake till late.
But all these myths are nothing but fake.
Why do you need booze or dope,
To make your life interesting.
Do you wish to be hospitalized so young,
Why is it that you are screwing your liver and lung.
Why at the mention of failure you seem to quiver,
Why do you need so often a can of beer.
Why can't you let go of your frustration,
Why do you crave for coccaine, at its slightest mention.
Why do you need a poison to calm you down,
Why do you need an ocean of alcohol to drown.
Why is it that people can't stand a fall,
When will they end it all.....

Do you ever see your loved ones' tears,
Pleading you to stop, for the better.
But all their goodwill seems to falter,
As another round of drinks is poured at the platter.
Some try hard to break this habit,
But most just can't get enough of it.
Why can't one say no to smoking,
Also to drinking and doping,
Without them,Is life less worth living....

Why do people need a booze or light,
To make their life interesting.
Why is it that people can't stand a fall,
When will they end it all.
Why can't one say no to smoking,
Also to drinking and doping,
Without them, is life less worth living........

EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

Every single time!!

This poem describes the feelings of a adolescent child, in love...but what's the best thing about this poem is that it has an innocent flavour to it...


Every single time i glance at my cellphone,
I wish you would give me a call.
Every time i hear my phone ring,
I wish, on the other side, it would be you.
Every single time i sit online,
I wish to see you there.
I really don't know what is happening to me,
But this eerie feeling inside my heart sure is exciting...

Every single time I look at the setting sun,
I imagine we are at the beach.
Looking at the horizon, the sky so clear,
Paddling in the deep waters, without any fear.
We are walking hand-in-hand,
Feeling the breeze; we're at peace.
I wish the moment would last forever,
But such a dream becomes a reality never....

Every single time i listen to my favourite song,
I imagine you're dancing with me.
I just keep staring at your face,
You are truly enjoying, i can sense.
I wish this moment to last forever,
But such a dream becomes a reality never.
I really don't know what is happening to me,
But this eerie feeling inside my heart sure is exciting....

Every single time i close my eyes,
I dream of us, alone and together.
We are on an island, just you and me,
As we are enjoying every moment with glee.
I know it's such a childhood fantasy,
But what i see on our face, is pure ecstasy.
I really don't know what is happening to me,
But this eerie feeling inside my heart sure is exciting....

I put off the lights; i prepare to sleep,
I begin to miss you badly; i begin to weep.
Once again i glance at the cellphone,
I wish you would give me a call.
The phone rings; i rush towards it,
Only to be dejected yet again.
I really don't know what is happening to me,
But this eerie feeling inside my heart sure is exciting.......

WHY??!!

Why??!!

The poem describes the transformation that took place in a guy after he began to follow the most enlightened path of simple living..a path that the sacred monks have followed over centuries....this poem is based on the book...THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI!!

Why do i nowadays feel i've everything,
Is it a miracle or is it a dream.....
Why do I keep saying, Life's so grateful,
Why am i nowadays being so thankful.
Why am i becoming so mature,
Why am i enjoying every single creation of nature.
Why am i feeling so high,
When few days back, it was all so low.
Why am i feeling so young and cheerful,
Why am i saying, life's so beautiful.
Why am i feeling free of any tension,
Why, to my woes, i am not paying undue attention.
Why am i feeling so contented,
Why is there no sadness, no pain.
Why am i enjoying this peace and freedom,
When all i did, was complain of boredom.
Why am i feeling so enthusiastic,
How did i manage to change, so drastic.
Why am i even loving cats and dogs,
When all i did, was beat them up with logs.
Why am i feeling, i've to sing and dance,
Has someone put me in a trance.
Where have all those nightmares gone,
Where have all my dreaded fears vanished.
Why am i loving this subtle breeze,
Why is it that the whole world has seemed to freeze.
Why is there no greed, no desire,
I think, as i sit alone, beside the burning fire.
Why am i loving this desolate place,
Where there's no competition, no race.
Why am i enjoying the gifts of nature,
Why am i not contemplating over my past or future.
Why is it that i've not once complained,
Why am i feeling that there's so much i've gained.
Why am i feeling so close to the Lord,
When i'm an atheist, who has no God.
Why is everyhing so perfectly all right,
Where have all the situations gone, so tight.
Why am i nowadays feeling so blessed,
When all i used to feel, was distressed.
Why is it that nowadays i feel i've achieved everything,
Is it a miracle or is it a dream...............

A STORM TURNED IT ALL!!

A storm turned it all!!


Have you ever realised the extent of my pain,
As all my days keep passing by, in vain.
You were my soulmate, I always knew,
And all I longed for was forever, just to be with you.
It was going on ever-so-smoothly,
But then a storm turned it all.
All my dreams got shattered,
I kept waiting, but you never returned....

Every moment now i wish i were dead,
As i blankly stare at your pic lying beside my bed.
Do you know how lonely I am,
Since you have gone, never to return.
It was going on ever-so-smoothly,
But then a storm turned it all.
All my dreams got shattered,
I kept waiting, but you never returned...

I felt you were content with me,
Glorious years together that we had spent,
I'll eventually get over this break-up,
But I can never forget the way you said,"hi, wassup?"
You made me smile, when I was all tear,
You made me brave, When I was all fear,
Your absence made me lonely,
Even when I was with my friends or family.

It was going on ever-so-smoothly,
But then a storm turned it all.
All my dreams got shattered,
I kept waiting, but you never returned.....

What was my fault, my mistake,
For you, i could have put my life at stake.
Did i ever hurt you, my love,
Then why did you have to give me a shove.
Life moves on, even i'll try,
Living in silent pain, i've realised,
Betraying someone's trust truly hurts,
Please, today to you, a request I make,
Don't ever do it again, to anyone else,
For you ex-flame's sake....

It was going on ever-so-smoothly,
But then a storm turned it all,
All my dreams got shattered,
I kept waiting, but you never returned....

A VERY YOUNG MAN!!

A very young man!! Here's a man, a very young man, Neither great nor special, He's just one of us, like you and me, Who just let his imagination run free, And ended up being the richest man in the country. Everyone wanted to be his friend or fan, Let me tell you the story of this very young man.. "Here's a man, a very young man, His youthful looks charms one and all, For he's cute, though not very tall. His boyish looks excites the girls, As they are swept off their feet in a whirl. He's not a comedian, appears rather stern, As if he has suffered yet another heartburn.. Here's a man, a very young man, His brain's as huge as his girth, Yeah, you can call him, a scholar by birth. He's extremely sharp and talented, But often his potentials get wasted, Coz he's immensely lazy, Always lost in his own thoughts, You might think he's crazy.... Here's a man, a very young man, Ego is, at times, displayed in his stance, But he has no qualms about admitting, For his biggest trait is modesty. He might be at times a bit childish, But never ever consider him immature or kiddish. He made not a single enemy or foe, To add to his existing problems and woes... Here's a man, a very young man, He likes to dream big, His dreams would eventually come true, Coz he believes he's one of the chosen few. "Self-belief is the key, mate, No point in blaming luck or fate, That should be your attitude, That's how you shall win" Here's a man, a very young man, Neither great nor special, He's just one of us, like you and me, Who just let his imagination run free, And ended up being the richest man in the country... So my friends, in each one of you lies immense potential to succeed....coz that young man dwells in each one of you...what you lack is the courage to be a winner....be courageous and u'll end up being successful!!

CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!

CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!! THIS ONE'S WRITTEN STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART AND UNEDITED..A BIT LONG TOO...BUT IF YOU ALL CAN WATCH A HINDI FILM FOR 3.5-4 HOURS.,..THEN THERE SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM!! lol!! Well, I don’t know how to write a non-poetic post but I do know why to write it...the reason being…I am really bored now, writing the same kind of poems again and again….also I believe in the saying. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT….so I am gonna write my first non-poetic post….hope u enjoy reading it, my dear friends!(if u don’t like it, well, I am gonna blow your heads off!!!....just kidding…!!) Sometimes, I wonder…why do you hate your own life?...why do you try to be someone else?....why do you copy someone?..be it hairstyle or dressing sense or whatever..WHY??...the simple reason being, you are not satisfied with life….well, not all aspects, but mostly a major aspect like LOVE… In day-to-day life, for the past three years, I have been observing real-life couples, walking hand-in-hand, as if the world doesn’t exist…the love and respect they have for their respective partners…..really makes me feel happy that even in this fast-paced world where relationships break so rapidly, love does exist…..Now have some pity for the singles in this town who feel jealous seeing these couples…they think…”wish there was someone!" I have consulted many people in the past whether looks matter..and these wise men say…looks don't matter, it’s the physical, mental and spiritual compatibility that matters....When you ask anyone about how his/her ideal partner should be, the answer usually is----"the person should be understanding, honest , sweet, smart, intelligent and blah blah blah"...No one ever says---"the person should be cute, handsome/pretty, hot/sexy and blah blah blah"… BUT IF LOOKS DIDN'T MATTER, THEN WHY DO MOST GIRLS HAVE A CRUSH ON BRAD PITT OR HRITHIK ROSHAN??!!...SO WHAT'S THE REALITY?....HELP ME OUT, PLEASE!!!!!!!!! Ok, forget it for the time-being…let me introduce you all to a new word which you all are familiar with…FLIRTING…and the word that usually comes with it…PICK-UP LINES….pick-up lines, well, I can’t define them, but some wise men say….boss, if you are going to propose to a girl, better have a pick-up line ready…my question is, would a girl say “ yes” to a guy just because he has a nice line and he is a good flirt….do even real life love stories begin with a nice, cheesy, romantic line as often shown in films??....Is real love that insignificant that it has to be displayed through pick-up lines….or to express love, is a tattoo necessary??....aren’t feelings enough?....are the people getting crazy with the increase in technology?....To whoever believes in pick-up lines, here’s my opinion….THEY ARE BULLSHIT!!...IF A GIRL DISLIKES YOU THEN THEY WON’T EVER WORK….CONVERSELY, IF SOMEONE REALLY LOVES YOU, THEN YOU DON’T NEED A PICK-UP LINE..COZ LOVE SPEAKS ITS OWN LANGUAGE….EVEN IN SILENCE!! (what a philosopher I am!...) People living in Mumbai would be familiar with the LINE MARO segment of Mumbai mirror…NONSENSE!!...let me give an example to demonstrate the fact that they are stupid…YOU BETTER HAVE A LICENCE, COZ YOU ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!....you think that’s romantic….well, maybe you think so…but sorry, I don’t!....now here’s a question to young, single girls….WOULD YOU FALL HEAD-OVER-HEELS WITH A GUY JUST BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD FLIRT?....THEN DOES IT MEAN THAT ALL INTROVERT, SHY GUYS SHOULD REMAIN SINGLE FOREVER??...(in that case, people like me should better head to the Himalayas to lead a life of a sanyasi…)… I would never be able to understand what goes on in a woman’s mind…..but maybe all my lovely female friends would be able to help me out with these questions..by telling me what goes on in their mind…..whether they agree with my point of view or not….waiting for your valuable comments!! ( And this doesn't mean that male readers are not allowed to comment....!!LOL!!)

P.S....MY POST IS JUST A WAY OF EXPRESSING MY FEELINGS....SO I EXPECT THE READERS TO TAKE MY VIEWS SPORTINGLY..NOTHING PERSONAL!!..NO HARD FEELINGS PLEASE!

SIGNING OFF!!

How was the first date, Friends always asked when we met, Why don't they put their curiosity to rest. Why this constant chat about my life, Why irritate your dear friend, With questions that never end. A little privacy is all I need, Please, let my request be put to some heed.

You are so gorgeous and pretty, For me, you are the Goddess of beauty. It feels simply special, Just to be with you. You are immersed in my dreams, I never want to wake up, For it feels so lovely, Just to dream about you. Every single moment I feel, I am truly blessed, For it feels so divine, Just to be with you. I keep thinking about you, The whole day and night, For it feels truly refreshing, Just to think about you. Months ago, all I wanted was, Just to be with you. Now it feels so scary, What my life would be , without you. You are my soulmate, I always knew, All I long for is, Forever, just to be with you. You are made for me, I always sensed, All I long for is, Forever, just to be with you. My soul feels enriched, Just to be with you. All I long for is, Forever, just to be with you........."

Only you can solve my problems, Eliminate my crisis, To help me meet the person I truly miss, Help me, it's now or never, If you have considered me your friend ever. Tell me the reason for your betrayal, When it was you, at first, who had,shown your faith and approval, Self-confidence,I think I have it, But still, I am incomplete , without your support, i expect from you, just a little bit. You can prevent my heart from being smashed and crushed, Help me, it's now or never, If you have considered me your friend ever.

Help me, it's now or never, If you have considered me as your friend ever......

BUGGED!!!

BUGGED!!! My life was full of moments truly magic, That eventually became nothing but tragic. No drug can ever ease this pain, As all my happiness flows down the drain. I feel, i've been kept in a mighty cage, And I am already boiling with rage. I am totally bugged, I say, Show me a glimmer of hope , a ray, There must surely be a way, Please show me that way....... My life is full of dullness and boredom, And I keep longing for more freedom. I need a few months of vacations, But all I get is a list of submissions. My life is full of turmoil, As I see my plans always foil. People start consoling me on the phone, And I shout, Leave me alone! I am totally bugged, I say, Show me a glimmer of hope, a ray, There must surely be a way, Please show me that way..... Just then appeared in my room, An angel so kind, I completely forgot my problems, Encircling my mind. At first sight, he looked so weird, An old sage with no moustache but a beard. He used all his wisdom and intelligence, As I felt truly blessed by his presence..... He told me to be happy and to smile, Things would eventually work out, It would take a while. He told me, Listen to music, LIsten to your heart and soul, it'll make you feel indeed, energetic. Things will be better, he assured, At that moment, I felt cured. So thats the way, the solution, To keep my life rocking,and in motion. For a moment, I closed my eyes, But he just disappeared, Without even saying Goodbyes. At first sight, he had looked so weird, An old sage with no moustache but a beard....... I am no more bugged, I say, Life's back on track, full of moments magic, And I am happy, very ecstatic. I have seen a glimmer of hope, a ray, There's always a way, And thanks to him, I've seen that way..... I have seen a glimmer of hope, a ray, There's always a way, And thanks to him, i've seen that way.......

YOU!!

YOU!!! Every morning I think of you, You are one of the lucky few, To divert my attention, To disturb my concentration, Yet to relieve me of any tension, Without even your mention... Some things I need, One of them is You. Some things I crave, One of them is you. Some things I desire, One of them is you. Some things I love, But the only girl is you... You make me smile, when I am all tear. You make me brave, when I am all fear. Your absence makes me lonely, even when i am with friends or family. You make me forget my pain and sorrow, As I hope to meet you every tomorrow..... But, how do I everyday expect, That such a gorgeous girl I'll one day get, Why would you accompany me on a date, When , for the past year, we've hardly ever met... it ain't easy to forget the first love, Harder if it's as good as you. People say, i'll get over it, Their quote, I don't quite understand it.... You may not end up being my girlfriend, But I'll keep loving you till my days end. You may not end up being my wife, But , you'll forever remain in my life. You may not be mine, That's destiny, But my love for you is infinity, Which, my dear, shall last till eternity, Which, my dear, shall last till eternity.........

The Ice-Cream parlour!

The ice-cream parlour! I was sitting alone in an ice-cream parlour nearby, When ,twenty minutes late, my date sat by, I had known her since school, She talked with only those who were really cool, And not with nerds or ugly, idiotic fools.. But I still liked.her, trusted her. But no matter how hard to woo her , I tried, She hardly cared about my sentiments , and i cried. As that scar of refusal remained forever in my mind.... Now, she realises she was wrong, Ten years later, but for the better. Few days back,said she always liked, My boyish
