You are, I am

You fumble, you stutter, I laugh at your face
But you know my heart beats so hard
I'd stay by your side, but if that's the case
It's your turn, go on, play your card.

I'll give you a ring and we'll stay awake
Into the night until dawn
I'll walk on the ice just to see if it breaks
And these feelings of love will be gone

Can you bring back my friend to me?

Can you bring back my friend to me?
Who knows not what its harsh to be,
Those twinkling bright eyes,
And the love laden heart,
Brought smiles on my face from within.

With no want of words,
Our eyes read the mind,
And the silence our hearts,
Now words too don't seem to reach.

The silence kills me,
Aloofness hurts me,
And the one-way talk rips me apart.

Can our hearts not open out
And the love soar high
And 'you' and 'I' be just 'we'.

Romancing the night


That day in the evening
the stars all shone in the sky
when you were in my arms
and the silent moon watched by;

The shadows in the waters
of trees and bush around
lay motionless and still;
only two heart's beating sound;

And a hush of leaves sometimes
of an air of friendliness;
your black eyes spoke romance
on a flawless pretty face.

A friend, not long ago

I guess I had a friend, not long ago
Not In my dreams, in reality
All the things I ever wished for
All the things God had wanted for me

With whom I could forget the future & past
& I prayed everyday for those times to last
Forever & ever so that there would be
Happiness till eternity

But the good times didn't last for long
& before I knew, she was gone
To a place far away, but just for sometime
And loneliness was at its prime

Wish I had known, in times to come
It would take long, to see the sun
Only if my tears could ever erase the distance
Wish I had tried harder & with patience......

Lost in Dreams - 2

I speak of castles, castles so high,
Sweet dreams atop, falsities - oh fie!
No spear, No sword - I thought could break,
A love filled world that I would make.

So thoughts they are, thoughts - warm and deep,
And as it were, you'd smile and weep,
For thus rolls life - no tears, no smile,
Nary a truth, Nary a lie!

A Woebegone heart in a feisty soul,
A new start beckons - a new goal,
Teary eyed no more - go forth fair one!!
A good tear shed - a good deed done.

Sob not for love, sob not for grief,
Sob if you must in sheer disbelief,
The truth so dark, the truth so stark,
Slumber no more - hark my words - hark!

Lost in Dreams - 1

A castle built of a pack of cards,
Each carefully placed.
Cruel claws tear my world to shards.
All dreams disgraced.

Innocent, unconditional smiles -
Taken away.
Teary-eyes, quivery lips -
And a teardrop gives way.

No hands to wipe my tears.
But they eventually dry.
No one to soothe my fears.
But I still try...

To rebuild my castle
For my dreams to reside.
To stand as testimony
To a fairy-tale life...

Independence

As I tuned into the radio this morning I heard the song ‘Bharat hum ko jaan se pyara hai…’ when I wondered is it so? And thought that if it’s true then why are patriotic songs played only on national holidays? Why doesn’t any one remember the martyrs on any other day? What exactly is the significance of these days (January 26th, August 15 and October 2nd) in our lives?

To be honest, for us, these are mere days of relaxation and recreation. Most of us don’t even bother to go to our institutions for the flag hoisting, we simply enjoy the day either by sleeping more or having a hang out with family and friends! We don’t value the independence just because we didn’t do any thing to achieve it… we opened our eyes in a free state, we never breathed the air of prison, we never were ever ruled by any foreign nation… should we not value the cost of millions of martyrs who spoilt there presence and sacrificed there future for us? Don’t we have any responsibility towards our nation? We have but we don’t give a damn for it, we plan for our betterment and not for the country’s!

Past Forward

Winds of change are these
Which touch our lives with
Hopes and dreams anew
And bring sad moments too.
But, look back
And thou (you) shalt see
The footprints
Which our hearts
Have held dear

And shalt
Leave stamp upon our "new" lives
Like the sweet memories of spring
That embalm our minds
During the frosty winter spells.

Wen it Rains !!!


Drop by drop it has started to rain,
all I could see is only you,
'Cause when it rains I remember you.

I can feel you when the droplets touch me
and find you standing close to me,
drenched in the memories of time spent with you
'cause when it rains I remember you.

Laying on the ground, I look at the sky
I see you there so innocent, so shy,
in the clouds I try to figure out you
'cause when it rains I remember you.

It's my turn

Unhinge me, so that I can have
Another dimension to life
Let loose now, so that I can spread
My wings to soar & fly
Because it’s been so long
That I’ve been gagged & bound

All false emotions fed to me by society
But my search has lead to a discovery
Of an awareness & a new perception
Of how things are & how they should be

So I’ll walk away-nothing more to say
This calm can’t silence my inner storm,
This cocoon can’t shield me from pain,
This sugar-coated sweet haven made a numb soul,
I need to hurt myself to feel happiness again.

No clouds beneath my feet
It’s my turn to feel the heat.

The Crossing


Love is just a bountiful lake of forces,
We have little understanding of, but plenty of experiences.

Ever enjoyed waves licking at your toes on the beach,
Ever felt rushing winds blow you at the hilltops,
Ever seen the sun set or rise,
Ever seen the starry nights,
Or ever watched the moon coming out of clouds?

I have experienced these moments
And I have always felt blessed by the creation,
After such an encounter with nature.

Love is in the air

Sreenivas has been associated with his college for more than a year now and one of his favorite hangouts is the lake at the rear end of the college. Recently when he visited the place; while the heavens were obliging with a little bit of a shower from bounties of the clouds; he had a strange experience. He went to the alleyway and stood by the edge of that lake. And the sight that met his eyes made him feel like never before. The lake is naturally surrounded by plethora of trees and greenery, and the raindrops were making ripples on the surface of water. The gentle whistling of winds imparted an immaculate touch to the panorama. Crescendo rose inside him, with a landscape of such immense beauty in front of him. There evolved a mysterious sense of happiness in him. It felt as if there's an unknown bond between him and that place.

How could you ???


How could you say you love me
after you leave me
How could you say you care
if you were never going to stay
I wish it always rains
so you could not see
the hurt, pain and tears you gave me

How could you say you love me
when you loved someone else
How could you say
I can find someone else
when all I wanted was you
and all I needed were you

Rain Rain….Come Again

Sitting silently
Eyes waiting, searching, questioning
And then, I hear
that familiar rumbling
lift my eyes, full of hope
and see the dark clouds looming above,
like old friends
Theyre back!
A smile tugs at my lips
I rush outside
trampling on the soft grass
gaze at the grey sky
Thundering, bellowing clouds
announcing their presence
I close my eyes and spread my arms,
welcoming them...

Your Memories

They come,they go,
they entertain,they aspire,
they remain as the ever-growing sky above.
Accompanying me every now and then,
they prove how friendly the world is,
and just how beautiful my life is,
with them-your memories!

They suddenly stir within me,
giving me a natural,involuntary smile,
that subdues my anger and grieve,making me feel delighted,excited,loved and secured...
They assist me,guiding me,
making me feel so secured,like the company of the oldest friends...
They induce in me enough excitement,
that last for the whole day...

To My Love

Our past runs deep, for you I did weep.
your memories haunt me, awake or asleep
I had you once, but could not keep
Forever flung far yet near, my sighs do you hear..
had you once in my arms, but now I fear..
that when I will open my eyes, you will disappear
and leave my soul drowned deep inside the ocean of tears..
Fails to penetrate, its unfathomable depth, the light of hope...

As I stagger I find your hand in mine,
and forget the world for a while...
My aimless fingers no more move,
My racing heart is now at rest...

At once the whole world seemed cooperative,
for your presence brings slight rays of hope,
that makes my face bright...
lit up with a smile, that once i thought was lost,

With every skip of my rhythmic beat,
I still wait..
With a hope that you will never let go...
the emptiness in me eased,
though my heart is heavy, and my eyes full,
the pain for a moment ceased,
by a tender touch, a loving smile..

Enlightenment


The flame shimmers in the wind,
As the last drop of oil dries,
It burns out...
To give away light.

Enlightenment...
The darkness fades away,
I reach out...
In the blindness of the night.

I reason...
The existence of known and unknown,
I search...
For the answer somewhere and everywhere.

Art of Bargaining

When India is referred to as land of diversity , the diversity does not only direct to culture, people region climate etc but it also includes the variety in the markets present here. The markets all over the country provide numerous options...options which include various materials... options that help us enhance our art of bargaining!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be it Linking road or fashion street in Mmbai, m G road at pune or your local market, believe it or not, but it's always possible to get great discounts wherever you go even if the sales aren’t on. And it's up to you to haggle whenever the right opportunity arises. You can do it just about everywhere, from electrical stores to markets to car showrooms, as long as you're aware of the rules. Here are some of bargaining tactics you should know for effective transactions you can have everywhere.

Art of Driving

I have been driving in Mumbai since quite some time now and also had the experience to drive in some other major cities of India like Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Pune. Driving in all these cities has something in common and following are my observations about driving. For the benefit of every Tom, Dick and Harry visiting India and daring to drive on our roads, I am offering a few hints for survival. They are applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer.

Indian road rules broadly operate within the domain of karma where you do your best and leave the results to your insurance company.

Art of Travelling

Local trains … the ‘life-line’ of Mumbai…. Thousands of people hold onto this life-line everyday to keep pace with their lives... And here I am... One of those thousands... trying to go ahead in life using the life line … so cut-to-cut that even one minute’s delay can cause me to be behind others!!!!

Daily adventures or misadventures in the train are very common. If I start writing on those, this post would never end. So this is my way of actually saying that Local train traveling is a very adventurous way of living!!! Adventure that begins from running to the station, to get on a train at odd times like 9.23am, 10.56 or 19.44 etc amongst which is suitable for me till getting in that train and from there till being in one piece to getting out of it!! But then every adventure no longer excites you if over done; you get tired. So I think I have started getting tired of it!!!

Art of Lying

Well yes, lying is an art, though only people who get caught while lying seem to know it. They only understand how tough and skillful the art of lying is. It needs a man with common sense and commanding presence of mind to speak a lie.

I admit I am a liar and a seasoned one at that. Well that's nothing unusual, we all lie or I assume most of us do. It is just that some people never accept it. There are some who even claim that they don't lie, they have never lied in their life, and this is something I find hard to believe. Those who claim to be always honest and truthful may never have been in any difficult situation. This is something I can bet upon.

Usually we all lie in a trying situation; lying is an easy option. Here I am not talking about habitual liars, those who lie without purpose, just for the sake of it. For instance, there are some individuals if you ask them what they are reading they will answer "history" hiding the "geography" book. This post is not for them. This one is for sincere liars. People who lie when needed.

Silent Love


It started with a glimpse, on a cold winter day,
A young lad was walking on a narrow dusty way
He saw her for the first time, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen,
They walked past each other, a magical moment to him it seemed!!

That night as he slept, he dreamt about that girl,
About her crystal blue eyes, about her long hair curled,
He desired nothing else but just another glimpse of her,
Another magical moment in the near-future

And that moment arrived shortly, on the following Sunday,
They met again, this time on the market way,
His heart skipped a beat, it raced faster and faster,
His eyes only saw her smile, his ears only heard her laughter.

If 6 were 9


What if 6 were 9
Wouldn’t that be fine

If you’d be me
N I’d be you
Would I really be free?
Or just wish it weren’t true...

It would feel like having it all
But nothing at all...

I look all around...
And I kiss the ground...
Only thing I’ve found...
That ain’t going round...

Wonder when heaven became hell
Wonder when things started to go so well
Wonder when life became death
Wonder why I’m out of breath

My life depends on that one choice
That is the one which will make me rejoice
Am I ready to pay the ultimate price?


What if 6 were 9
wouldn’t that be fine...

Follow Thy Heart


What your heartbeats say
just listen to its song
say the feelings to your love
so it can stay with thee life long

Always heart makes u flow in memories’ river
sometimes you laugh, at times they make you shiver
just enjoy your life and live every minute fully
so that these will become your memories forever.
Memories always govern the heart
person you like most, keeps you alert
so guide your heart and follow the way
just listen to what your heartbeats say...........

Love is the thing which is always mystic
sometimes obtaining ,at times realistic
Love is contagious thing
which attacks every being,
being attacked by love every man dreams
else there remain only cries and hurt screams

So just say the words…three
to make your heart burden free

Freedoms is all about


What is freedom?
a teacher was asked
by the youngest pupil
of the class

The teacher said

and I’ll tell you
what it means

So after the class
they went together
walking down the road
in a pleasant weather

When you are in LOVE!!!

Do you feel painless though you have many issues going around??
Do you feel accomplished though there’s nothing great achieved??
Do you feel complete though you lack many things??
Do you feel strong though timid at the same time??
Do you feel original in whatever you do??
Do you speak in rhythm??
Do you sing in silence??
Do you do things without expectations??
Do you feel life interesting though nothing great happening??
Do you still remain happy if today is the last day of your life??
If the answer is Yes, No doubt you are in “Love”!!!!
Just living with a beautiful feeling which doesn’t need a definition,
justification or a relation!!!

Just rejoice it, let it invade!!

GOD only knows!!!

Sitting here in my room,
thinking of all the past memories
Smiling my thoughts away.............
I wonder how it would have been if I told u how I felt?

Would we have been together?
Or would it have made no difference to our lives?
God only knows better.

But what I see from now…….
is a bright light that touches the sky,
entering inside me, giving me hope,
To live, to look ahead and to make a difference in my life.

Will I be able to do it all by my own?
Or will you be there with me in it?
As I carry on with my life, experiences add to it
and the learning process keeps on rolling.

What I have learned so far is the reality of life,
that could not be learned by any book.
But what I don’t know is you.

Will u be there with me or will I be alone.
Smiling my thoughts away I close my eyes
listening to my heart calling Ur name.

But will you ever hear it?

God only knows……………….

I never used to believe in Fairies


I never used to believe in fairies
Till I met you


You came like a fairy into my life
Simply out of nowhere
Turned it up and down
Like it were a gown

You infused life into this body
In spite of being a nobody
You made me feel
As if though I was someone special

You laughed you cried
And many more you tried
Your words your smile
Made me feel like a child

You changed the outlook of my life
You behaved like a good wife
Kept utmost care
But I wonder why should you care

This made me think
It made me feel
That you made me see the 'ME' in me
By putting in the 'YOU' in you

I never used to believe in fairies
Till I met you

Since the day


Since the day when I came to a halt...
Since the day your love and care stopped...
I've made a world of my own to hide...
A world which is alien to your cruelty and smite...
A world so tender and pure...
Like the love and care that we once endured...
Since the day you left without a goodbye....
Shying away to see me eye to eye...
I've made every effort to subdue my feelings that once flourished...
Made me feel gutless without you and with you courageous...
It could have been more than what it is...
If it had to end, it could have been more than a cliché than what it is...
I've trashed myself in hope to empty myself of these feelings...
Empty myself and start my healing....
Though it seems like a tedious task to me...
Then again, I thought you were madly in love with me...
I am only human to have made that grave a mistake...
Assuming to have a woman which will make my life like a piece of cake...
But since the day we went our separate ways...
I've taught myself never to dream and always stay awake...
