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'.

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......

Reflections

Though miles come between us,

and distance keeps us apart,

Nothing can ever change

The love inside my heart....

I may not be there with you,

Every minute of the day,

But you're always here with me,

In at least a thousand ways.

Whether it be a thought,

Or a moment that we've shared,

It only takes a second

To get from here to there....

Though I cannot really feel

You here at my side,

It's always nice to know,

I've got these memories in my mind.

Simply Bangalored !!!

I came to Bangalore for my job in MindTree. I was piqued to blog about the city, so I scribbled it on a notepad. The time here has almost come to an end, and as usual I'm bad in post operative care meaning I forgot to host the post. Now after long, I got reminded of hosting this post. So here it goes...

The day, I came to Bangalore, I was full of dreams and faith. And those dreams came true, and it happened in the dream city of every IT guy - The Silicon City - Bangalore. Bangalore welcomed me with open arms (pun intended). But I really want to thank Bangalore for beautiful changes in my life.

Bangalore - the garden city has become a complete IT city today with lots many IT companies in every nook and corner. Evergreen weather of Bangalore attracts so many people towards it. The land of Kannadigaas keeps a strong hold on culture and stands first in modernization. The lovely Monday traffic kicks off the week with the dreams of coming weekend. This city’s movie mania also astonishes you, when people come on roads to fight with God on natural death of a superstar or when you find that people are so crazy on a film like "Sivaji". And the good thing is you never have too many problems because of language. In fact, if you know few words like "Maadi", "Bega", "Illa", "Gottilla" then you can survive in Bangalore easily. As being a miser person [in opinion of my roomies…it’s a common opinion I share with each one of them….for us every roomie of ours is a miser J], I feel that Bangalore is very expensive. In Bangalore, you may find good south Indian food (if that suits your taste). Normal hotels cheat you on the name of north Indian food by giving Maida Naan/Roti instead of Wheat Chapatti.

How much ever prejudiced one may be with Bombay, as is the case with me, you can't keep away from appreciating the city that Bangalore is. Keeping aside one aspect TRAFFIC congestion (which I'd not write about here), the city is awesome. Greenery all around... huge trunks lining up almost every road. Having forgotten what it means to feel the shade of a tree, living in Bombay, amidst increasing concrete blocks built as if with an intention to take revenge on trees in the city; the unending canopies of Bangalore brought a sense of inexplicable happiness.


The city is filled with parks; one at every bend and the pavements on either side of every other road are lined up with tall trees. Parks not in the sense of show case parks of Bandra, these are used for their true purpose. Starting from less than a year old toddler to octogenarian couples you see people of all ages enjoying the ambience taking rounds on the walk-way, playing shuttle while some helping their kids walk or just simply sitting in groups and chatting. I wonder what percentage of parks in Bombay ever lived up to such purpose. Also I observed that Bangalore is a city for the people, unlike Bombay where people are for the city. I observed extensive sign boards, explaining the streets and cross roads all around the city making it possible for a newcomer to come and stop by right at the door step of the destination he is looking for(unless he gets confused with the crosses, mains and blocks). Here in Bombay, I doubt if even a single colony has such route map guidance.


I have learnt from this city that we should feel proud for the land we belong to(Kuch bhi ho Aamchi Mumbai rox). There is no harm in speaking language, which you are comfortable with. There should be always a passion for our own culture and land.
To sum it up, this city is very beautiful, makes your dream true if you have patience. I wish people keep it green as it is today, and we should always be able to say that "Namma green city, Namma Bengaluru".





The times I had in Bangalore would not have been possible without the best set of roomies I had.....Arun(janavar), Gautam(laloo), Parag(pragi), Sreenivas(chini) and Vaibhav(doggie)....Thanks guys

Girl Next door

She always used to be bubbly
She always used to happy
You could pass hours with her without speaking. She’ll always have something to talk about
There have been times when I used to wonder how she does it!
She does things which normal girls don’t.
I have seen people who used go to her with their problems and she always had a solution for them
Life was going great for her…till the next bend
And when it came; her world comes crashing down
One moment everything looks fine….the second instant nothings left
She looks for someone….finds none
Friends try to give hope…she gets none
She’s got nowhere to go
She wants to cry….but tears go dry
She needs a shoulder….none to find

And then she took a drastic step…ignores it
It was too huge a burden to carry…no one to share it
She looked around for someone again…saw something blurred
She goes and takes a look
And lo sees what…a reflection….a persona of her
She realizes what to do....
She carries the burden all along
People think she has overcome it
I thought she came over it

But deep down inside she knows nothing has changed
She still carries the burden…waiting for someone to lessen it
Expecting him…he’ll come
GOD knows when…but he shall come
She goes back to be the same old person
The one whom people knew…could relate with
But nothing has changed


I have seen her going through things which I cant’ even think about
She has faced things in her life which you never think of
Even after all these things she has come out of it undeterred

The day will come when she can cry her heart out…
The person will come who will get her out
I hope it happens soon
I know it will happen soon
I am expecting it to happen soon

Inspired by two important persons in my life

Friends

There used to be a time when you used to proclaim that you had a lot of friends. The word ''loneliness'' never used to exist in your dictionary. Life used to be rosy and great. People used to assume that you were an easy going guy who only knew how to cheer up people. Till a state of emptiness is created. All of a sudden, there’s a vacuum in your life. No idea when it came and how it came.

It’s that emptiness which you feel when friends separate. These were the same friends with whom you enjoyed every moment of your life.Recollecting those things used to tell me that how inseparable we were. We would promise, "We'll be friends forever. Nothing can come between us!"This phase invariably occurs with each one of us. Remember how you'd troop to each other's homes and keep calling each other. Now, each of you has gone your own ways, pursuing paths that possibly led to opposite directions. You have an urge to connect, to touch base. But you dither and hesitate. Instead of picking up that phone, writing that note, sending that e-mail, you only think about it, and do nothing. You wonder how your pal would react, whether he/she would reciprocate your gesture, or even remember you.The more we worry about what people will think of us, the less spontaneous and natural we are in our relationships. This leads to extremely controlled and restrained interactions. Your own faulty premise sets you up for the very thing you don't want: formality and detachment.So buck up and take that first step in rekindling the same old friendship. It may also be that the other person may have been waiting for you to take the first step.

This is inspired from an article which was published in BUZZ
