Straight from my heart...

How could you?? How could you hurt her, She’s my best friend, When you had promised you’d be with her, Forever, till the end, How could you bring, Buckets of tears in her eyes, And for months she kept waiting, Every moment, every day, amidst anguish and cries, How could you not care, When once you claimed you loved her, Do you know, you transformed her, Into a zombie, aimlessly wandering here and there, How easy it was for you to say,  It won’t work, It’s all over, When you had promised to be with her, In good and bad times, come what may, You hurt my best friend, You shattered her dreams, She blindly did everything you said, But you never understood her, it seems, How could you be so filthy, And so callous and mean, And if still you think you’re clean, Then, that’s the joke of the century, She's my best friend ,                ...

The root cause of fear!! Recently, in an interview, I was asked, “What is the root cause of fear?” I said, “Undoubtedly, LOVE.” The interviewers looked at me, skeptically, and said, “please justify.” And thus I began… “There’s just no fear, when one has nothing to lose.” This is a maxim heard so often. And it’s probably, one of the very few ones that I find realistic and acceptable. Have we ever wondered why we fear the terrorists or any other anti-social element, for that matter? Why do we fear our children travelling in crowded trains or buses? Why do we fear every time our children don’t return our calls or don’t reach home on time? Or why do we fear when our spouse is stressed about work? Why? There’s a simple four-letter word that is, according to me, the root cause of all kinds of fear :: LOVE! It is to be noted that LOVE is the root cause of fear, but it isn’t the cause of “phobia” or obsessive fears that are related to the psyche. Anyways, what makes me say th...

Like a pillow, like a rug!! I say this, as I give her a hug, "I don’t know how to start, For me, you are like a pillow, like a rug, You reside deep in my heart, I don’t remember how I fell, In love with you, Or what attracted me towards you, I just can’t tell, It wasn’t at all planned, All of a sudden, it happened, I had met you by coincidence, And my love for you grew, every fleeting instance, Each day I woke in the morning, With a new dream about you, I wanted to spend my entire day with you, And that feeling sure was exciting, I thought about countless ways, Of proposing to you, But I kept delaying it by days, And eventually for accepting it, I thank you, In your company, twelve years have gone, There were moments tense too, But our love was true, And effortlessly, we hung on, In the world of pain and darkness, You are the only light to me, You enlighten me, you enliven me, And make me smile even in ...

Just not made for each other!! It was nice to meet you, It was nice to know you, But we can’t have a future together, We are just not made for each other, I know you love me, And it’s deeper than the sea, Or bigger than the universe, And growing with every passing instance, I know you’ll make me smile, You won’t let me be sad, even for a while, But we can’t have a future together, We are just not made for each other, I know you must be wishing, You had a magic wand, But towards you, I don’t have any romantic feeling, I do hope you’ll understand, Always remember, this isn’t the end, It’s a fresh beginning, Of a new chapter, of a new inning, And I hope you’ll soon get a girlfriend, You are truly a nice guy, Don’t blame your luck please, One instance of bad luck shouldn’t make you cry, Life’s long, your happiness will not cease, It’s all about withstanding the pain, So please don't lose hope, keep believing, There are enough girls waiting, You...

Don’t worry, I’ll always be near!! I hate you shedding even a single tear, So please smile, And drift your mind to, All the memories happier, When it was just me and you, And you’ll feel better, at least for a while, Do you remember you said once, You hate and dread silence, So why aren’t you talking, And please don’t worry, Our love will last till eternity, Just keep believing, Even if you won’t see my sight, I assure you, it’ll be all right, Two years will go faster, Than you really think, I’ll be back sooner, Than you really think, Who the hell says, Long distance relationships don’t work, Baby, we’ll make it work, Coz we are different, And remember I am just yours, And I’ll be, forever and always, We are meant to be together, And nothing can stop us dear, From being in arms of each other, So don’t be so morose, Coz I’ll be near, Holding you close, Tonight when we physically part, I want to see you smile, From your eyes, from your heart...

I am a failure!! “I am a failure!” is a cliche heard so often, It irritates me, makes me want to run, Away from all those poor children, who, Keep calling themselves the unlucky few, Why do they feel down, Why, on their faces, is a constant frown, They appear always so dejected, And think it’s the end of the world if once they failed, Parents got to realize this, Their children aren’t some machine, They need to expect less, And not be obsessed about their child’s success, Parents get frustrated and say,”You are  a failure!”, Though in reality, their children are not, Who the hell are friends, family and peer, And to call one a failure, what right have they got, Alas, we are a redundant society, Full of preconceived wrong notions, Why do we want our children to become a doctor or an engineer, Isn’t there anything else that is no less inferior, Alas, we are a redundant civilization, Where marks are just about everyt...

Let us come closer!! You are the one my heart seeks, You are the one to whom my mind drifts, Every moment, every hour, It really doesn’t matter where you are, Nothing is perfect, but with you, My life could be, coz my love is true, So let us come closer, Coz we can make it a journey to remember, With you, I dream of, Visiting places I’ve never heard of, I dream about you smiling, And enjoying, and laughing, I dream about going to the beach, Where we had first met, I want to watch the beautiful sunset, And count the stars out of our reach, I dream of texting you, Daily, many a romantic messages, I dream of forever, living with you, And creating many a wonderful memories, Since I learnt driving, In my car, I dream about, Taking you, so often, out, On a long ride; it would be the best feeling, I dream about marrying you, And having cute babies with you, So let us come closer, Coz we can make it a journey to remember, I dream about many futur...

And as for “PRIPU”, well, keep reading, folks!..By the way, i assure you, I haven’t thought of this strange title keeping “bunty aurr bubli” or “raam aurr shaam” or “Raja aurr Rancho” or any other such name in mind. My title is original. Anyways, why am I blabbering? And what the hell am I saying?...well, it does prove one thing, people are right..“I am a dumbo”!!     ...
