If it hadn’t been between friends
I won’t have thought twice
After all,
She came to my liking
But of course she ignored me
'was so rowdy,so dandy after all
Like any one else of my kind.
But-
She never came close to me
Closer than a casual bench partner
Any how,
‘shifted to another town
Gosh I saw another girl
She seemed almost like my lost love
-a love which I had not shown
This time—
I didn’t falter
I showed my liking for her
But never did once she looked at me
Not even a gaze
Not even an ounce of sympathy.
Countless times,
I crossed her paths—
-consciously or sub-consciously
But she never gave her sole attention
Aha, but one time—
A time I will never forget
I some how met her alone at a fair
‘Somehow’ for her not for me.
I had just introduced myself
Then came some one from my past
Someone whom I never achieved to forget
‘coz I saw that face in every image of life
There she was—
My first image of beauty
Whom I’d come to like
But a dilemma I was, in deeply
Both I liked, latter equal to the former
It showed as beads of sweat, on my—
--cool, calm shaven face.
I turned back to ‘show
To ‘slowly’ recognize her
I looked in her eyes
Transfixed in her beauty
Consciousless moments later,
I suddenly turned back
Remembering a little someone
But she was not there—
My second image of beauty was not there
I saw her,
Going away with her other friends
With a mysterious smile on her face
And fingers crossed behind her back
I could never understand that smile
Did it symbolize my meeting with my first lady
Maybe as a gift from a mysterious friend—
A friend who ‘knew’me.more than I knew her
This is my longest poem ever,written in August'1995.I observed some face expressions amongst a group of friends at a fair,the rest is this poem.It is a teensy bit confusing but I was just beginning at that time..someday will write again on this topic to see where I have reached since then ;)

Time And Me
Time asked me
That what’s it gonna be
That u wanna live
Or just u wanna leave
Time came to me
Askin’, how much I will give
For what I wanted
And, for whom I wanted...
Time expressed its glee
That I felt so free
And will It wait for me
If I needed that to be
I talk to Time
Coz, time isn’t on anyone’s side
I listen to It’s tic-tock
Like It listens to my chit chat…
And I leave it to Time
To allow me decide…
What’s it gonna be…??
I always wanted to write a song,tried my hands through this...I don't know what it became
That what’s it gonna be
That u wanna live
Or just u wanna leave
Time came to me
Askin’, how much I will give
For what I wanted
And, for whom I wanted...
Time expressed its glee
That I felt so free
And will It wait for me
If I needed that to be
I talk to Time
Coz, time isn’t on anyone’s side
I listen to It’s tic-tock

Did You Observe
When I am with u
Did u observe that
I don’t look into your eyes anymore
When I am away from u
Did u observe that
I don’t call u at all the wrong times
When I am walking with u
Did u observe that
I don’t walk too close and..
…not so far away
When I am talking to u
Did u observe that
I take time for all your simple queries
When u ask me what I’m hiding
Did u observe
Your heart felt something my heart’s hiding.
Tell me
Did u ever observe
I had fallen for u
And am trying to rise out of it.
I looked at the question..why is called falling in love..and I came up with this answer..Written in June 2005

Same Heart
Oh how I wish I could write once more,
But the mind seems so empty
Just like my heart
No more risks it says
Even shattered pieces have limit
Can’t shatter’em any more
Too much happiness has no effect on me
I turn back to shadows,
Allowing nothing to light my way
Ask myself sometimes
This is not me…..
My brain’s the same
But the heart no longer skips a beat
It just keeps beating…..
That melancholic monotonous beat
Nothing seems to have happened
But everything did…
Someone says ‘the heart will go on’
Yes it does….oh it does
Want to move on
But come back to same old grounds
I hate the memories
And yet I live in them
Nothing else I guess to write
Well I put on the poetic cap after like 2 years or so..this came out..written in Oct 2004

Happy New Year
A year has come and gone
Time we spent together has moved on and gone
What is left are the memories
Which will soon be forgotten
I wish there could be some changes made
To the days I was not with you
So that all my lone hours
Would be forlorn and forgotten
What would be left is
You…..your sweet smelling self
And Me……my lucky self
Hope such a year will come again
Where there will be wonderful changes
And many superb surprises
Which will improve our friendship
So for you and me
Let GOD make a wonderful year
And for all the people around us
A hope for the BETTER
Written 1999 year end,on a team mates' request..the chap needed something to spruce up his New year wishes to his Girlfriend..and I got a different topic :)

The Flight
Phantom's a real killer
man how it dives
There goes my bogie
i'm left alone now
Smoke's curling up
from that radio tower
the superior will be happy
........but,oh no............
've hit people
but how can it be
the snaps're so precise
I can see the people dying ,crying
that smoke's taking the form....
.....form of a dog
rearing up it's hungry face
it's engulfing one & all
taking in bones and skin
all human...sometime ago
The teeth are shining....
like the blaze at the mouth
of the cannon
it's whining ....
...as if a thousand bombs struck
Oh, the victims
so desolate ,so desperate
Wish I could do something
but that dog,that war
even 'm one of it's bloody teeth
And who's baby is it
is it me,is it the victims below
No,it's them
behind cushy chairs,
under huge bunkers
they're the one's to blame
The bloodhound once unleashed is unstoppable
except by it's own master
but this one won't stop
unless it's teeth are all red
But....
this tooth has fallen
Beware , listen my message
'coz dying men don't lie
This was written around the time US invasion of Iraq happened.It's ab't a pilot who hits a target thinking it is some enemy base but then sees people dying coz of it..who is to blame..his last thoughts :(

Do They Think Like us
Zillions of times away,
there is someone..
...who is looking at me
as I do the same
I don't know whether they have come to us
or not
But there is some link between us and them
What is that link?
I know...
...'coz I can feel it
it's the greatest gift we've been given
and maybe to them too
...it's the gift of LIFE
But do they like us
do they look like us
Do they feel like us
I don't know & I don't care
'coz one thing is common among us
the LIFE itself
Since it's been given to us and them only
so HE must have seen something common...
.....among us
Our paths will cross
one day not someday
When we meet,
Then the history will start ...
...writing it's pages
And we will be not spectators but
players
I love sci-fi movies..so inspired by that..written in Aug '02

Another Sight
When I saw again,
I din't know what to do,
except that I wanted to...
to talk and be talked to
I wanted to go up and say hye
but I din't,
A lot of buts came up in the mind
one was will I be talked to,
or be swept away
like that fog being swept away by the sun
I gradually came to my senses,
but still not there
So I came out of it all,& saw...
...no one
It was a rude awakening from a dream
or reality
I can't say,I can't know
It had all just glued together
with my acuaintance gone...
...or maybe never there
where I wanted her to be
Written August'02 based on an encounter at HM-sec 17 ;)

That Tootie Frootie Feeling
I'm hurt some place,
some place deep
Which is unfathomable
remorse maybe there
But how to express all this,
Can I say it's a feeling
or maybe a premonition of...
of something ab't to happen
Look all around I see faces
but none I can call mine
coz mine is a MINE
pardon me,not a goldmine
but a coal mine from which even ...
...diamonds or sapphires might arise
But that's rare,unlike some other people
See i'm floundering,can't even keep-
-thoughts,my feelings at bay
that's why I'm calling it a tootie--
--frootie feeling
coz'it can be sweet and it can be sour
But this feeling is in everyone
who is insatiable
who is mortal
who is HUMAN

Away From Home
The word home is so securing,so enlivening
I know I would never like to be away
I know there are many--
-- who think the same way
but end up being away
They say u never know unless u try it out
'm quite sure they 're right
How one becomes so independent
one never knows
he has to have a seperate circle--
--develop a comradree
It has to be a home away from home
but don't forget your parents
without u it's no home for them
'coz for them u are everything
So when at home,cover up --
--the gap
give them your 100%
and see how they remain
with u always

A Reason To Laff
How can there be a reason to laff
've always thought laffing to be unreasonable
But wait a minute,me thinks there is one
laffing brings that openess in u ..
..that which is always lacking
Laffing attracts attention towards u..
..that which u are always craving for
Laffing can take u into someone's heart..
..whom u have always wanted
Laffing can take u overboard in a civil manner..
..that which u can't do even when u are drunk.
..or want to believe so
But most importantly,laffing is tax-free
maybe the only positive thing which..
..deserves to be so
SOOOOooo...laff away all your worries
my dear friends
and let a tension free life take over
LIFE THRU LAFF,GeT iT

Road To Success
Whenever soft light glistens over
wet hard roads
Somehow I don't know why
I feel as if it's questioning me
Why I can't believe that--
-life is hard like a road
but it's the light in us
which enlightens this road
But how to explain this`light'
can I call it my own possession
Even that glistening light is possessed by
a whole new environment
Maybe this enlightening light inside me
is tribute of goodwill to me
surpassed by nothing new or old
By the world around me,which has tested me
time and again
Satisfying itself that I can tread the countless roads
to SUCCESS
written in 2000,while studying for CA Inter exams..oh cleared them btw:)

WIND OR A FACE
Wisps of wind are coming around
wisking me to some other time
Which has passed or will pass--
--I don't know
I see something,I hear something--
--I can't say
It comes again & again taking--
-- my attention
I'm so confused,I can't even write
These winds are winds of some fragrance
maybe a phantom of my mind
but I sure do recognize them
Funny I use the word 'recognize'
'coz,I can't bring together that-
-that name,that face
But these winds they will help
Written for no reason in 1999...

Oh Valentina
I never knew what valentine's is
pardon me ,I thought it was a --
--shakespeare's novel
Just today I came to know
it's a saint's name
& it's lover's day
I can 't say I am a lover
Can I ask you something--
--what is a 'lover'
the def.. confuses me
how come guys who have 6 girlfrs--
--can say they are true lovers
to each one of them
when all the time they are thinking..
..how to get rid of this gal
And talkin' of gals,
how come,their choice
has become so bad
how come they like such boys
who like to show off
don't they know--
-- they'll be feathers in ..
..already overstuffed hats
I bet,there are a no. of other guys--
--your 'secret admirers'--
--who dream of only you
can't u spare a thought for them now
or,maybe some time else
I know among you,the no. of V-cards --
-- is sign of rep,of being hep
you don't consider the feelings anything
It's ''just timepass''for you
So go ahead enjoy another V-day
But remember dear 'valentina'
this 'valentino' will..
... not send a card!!!!
I don't believe in Valentine's day..and this poem has the reasons for same.Written in Nov 1998

Living With Something
I've heard --
-- everyone lives with a secret
Living with something ain't that strange
believe me in the depths of mind --
--there's always something lurking
something you wish to shy away from
but it does not leave you
'coz the secret's you
your identity is in the secret
your mystique is the secret
you take it or leave it
that's for you to decide
and other's to keep away from
after all how many people can survive
with their secret's exposed
to be the gist of all talks--
-- talks that are ab't you
ab't your secret
still there are people
who are so selfish --
just thinking they are so open
ask them to come out just once--
with their own secret
and they'll run as if..
...they'd seen a scurried rat
that rat they are themselves
Dedicated to all those people who feel it a sense of pride to poke into other's lives.Wrote it in Jan 1999

Eyes My Fathom
They say ocean is unfathomable
Well so is the human mind
But not for me,
for me eyes are the fathom
Judging anger and snear is my forte
No one 've seen,who gets away --
-without telling me something ab' t himself
Love is the easiest feeling to observe
that longingness in the eyes
that desire to get
that upper lid movement
so many expressions,one word ..
've talked to people thru there eyes
without there even knowing
I know more about them
then they would like one to know
If there's one thing I don't know
It's a fathomless mind
I know I can measure it roughly
even to that person's inconvenience
Well sometimes eyes speak more than what you want to say..

Someone Somewhere
There has to be someone out there--
- for everybody
I know there's someone for me
I din't believe in all this
but somewhere along the way
I felt it in my heart
the last time my heart broke
the last time I cried
the last time I felt sorry--
-- for myself
'm just waiting for that signal!
from UP there
and when it comes I'll try anything
to get her,my LOVE
Wrote this after watching Dil To Pagal Hai movie....it's punch lines inspired this one

Never Too Distant
It's never too distant to think about you
wish to come to you,to embrace you
but can't!! Why I don't know myself
It's good you know,to keep away so as--
-- to be near
You'll remain always in my heart
not in a corner,mind you but --
-- whole of it, 'coz you're my heart
As long as my heart beats,
a wish a desire will always stay there
the wish to see you in form
not in a snap,but in real
We'll definitely meet someday
but an alas!! for now!
Romantic lines from a romantic poet...:)

Keep Your Way
Some times,it happens
you wish for something
and you get it
But when it does not happen so
your wish keeps away -
-& slips away from you
Just for a second you are in it's shadow
& that shadow becomes a mist
before your very eyes & you're -
-never going to achieve it
DON'T lose heart,just keep on your way
and a Sun will rise when that mist turns
into a fog which you can feel
& then lo!there's your wish in form
One of those poems u never know u wrote till it has been written but I believe this one is to toiling hard and to inspiration
you wish for something
and you get it
But when it does not happen so
your wish keeps away -
-& slips away from you
Just for a second you are in it's shadow
& that shadow becomes a mist
before your very eyes & you're -
-never going to achieve it
DON'T lose heart,just keep on your way
and a Sun will rise when that mist turns
into a fog which you can feel
& then lo!there's your wish in form
One of those poems u never know u wrote till it has been written but I believe this one is to toiling hard and to inspiration
An Eternal Love Story
Here I was sitting in the park
on that same bench after a long time
thinking ab't someone,I'd met & courted there
People are moving here,there
seems as if my old times have returned-
-though as a shadow
Am I seeing things or what,
that's her!!
How come she's sitting there
It's been such a long time since -
since I saw her right here
Right there where I left her--
with tears brimming in her eyes
but,but she had..
I never expected her to be here
I am going to meet her,
to put words to the reality
I went straight thru her
as if moving thru a fog
!!SHE was not there
I sat down on that bench
from where she had been looking
looking as if stright thru me
And,then my eyes fell on ---
--something carved on the bench
"In death we shall meet again"
signed my girl's name
Truth fell upon me,like--
--like a white bolt of lightning
SHE had died waiting for me
who had not even cared for her
there then I died,to meet her--
--in the after life
Our pure form has intermingled
TO BECOME ONE
forever and for ever.....
Wrote this poem somewhere towards end of 2000 and till date my most favourite poem.Hope u like it :)

If I had been someone else--
I would have never known
The sheer joy of what I am,
what I could be
I have seen love scattered around me
by my family...my loved ones,
I couldn't have asked for anything better
Only thing I want is--
to be SELFLESS..
like they have been selfless in serving me
Wrote this one in 1998

Gone are the days...............
Gone are the days...............
Gone are the days when our heart was beating in
our body
now it beats in someone's soul..
Gone are the days when games were played on the road
now we code on road on laptop.
Gone are the days when we stood to watch birds
now we see and hear them in mpeg files.
Gone are the days when we chatted up friends in parks
now we chat in rooms.....
Gone are the days when we were in college running for bus
now the company bus comes to pick us up
Gone are the days where we studied just to pass
now we study to surpass our job
Gone are the days where we had no money in our pockets
now we have the ATM and credit cards
Gone are the days where we shouted on the road
now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days where we got lectures from all
now we give 'gyaan' to all
All has changed! Life has changed...
We are going to live the same for the coming years of life
It's better not to forget the past memories
remember & cherish them
Or still better, not to change at all.......................

WILL WE MEET AGAIN
A small gathering of people,no of friends
Friends who came close just recently
Friends who were there forever
How can you expect
--they will stay near forever
Some cant ,some wont.
Within me,
Is this burning question
Will we meet again??
Or,
Will we also turn into some waste paper,
A card,got long ago
A card ,priceless then,
Losing its value now..
Will we,
Turn around when we meet at some place Or,will we just go about our jobs...
Would guys think..
that gals will be hassled by them
Would gals think
That boys are flirting..
My reasons,
The multiplicity of characters,
Of shadows within personalities..
My fears,
Of our over-protective friends
And of over protective culture
Of distance between lives
Of paths within our life..
I am a bit confused right now,
I dont know ,
What would actually happen,
When all this really happens..

June Posts !!
Wheel of time churns on
wheels of vehicles swoosh along
thousands of us just ply on
In life we do have different roads
but on mettaled roads..
...we have the same directions
In world we have differing pains
but in corporate jungles...
...settles in same unsettling feelings
In mind,we have hopeless demands
but there on those malls...
...we pick and choose the same supplies
In heart we have ridiculous aspirations
but seated in those cinemas...
watching those movies
...our aspirations have same inspirations
We survive seperate lives
but we have same mediums
...to LIVE through those lives
This weekend....
Live it up !!
Written on 23rd June'2006
We do have time for parties,
but do we have time for people
We do look with awe at our inspirations
but do we have time to look through them
We do forgive people,
but do we really forget them
We do have a blast in our present
but isnt present just turning into past
Future does beckon....
but do we really learn from our present
Do look up your present...
it lies somewhere between...
cobwebs of a tomorrow bygone
and the winds of tomorrow just around
Have a Great Day!!

Sounds of raindrops
falling on dark hard roads
seem like sounds of thousand cathedrals
falling on deaf ears
road still pitters-patters with sound
but our ears sleep away
all lost in their reverie
Wake up the sounds of nature
wake up to life beyond your stature
Wake up just this morning
and reciprocate back to nature

When Clouds and Sun play hide-seek
I just look back and take a peek..
at clouds behind which hide memories
and Sun of wishes shining..
guiding me through these quagmires
Thanks for your wishes!!

Me and time once went up the memory lane
I was amazed..
sometimes It walked slow
and then began to run
I requested..
why don't you stop
catch your breath
It contended..
to make you walk..
I have to run,
to make you stop..
I have to go slow.
If I stop..
You won't have any purpose
if I stall..
you won't have any meaning
While You fib over me
I worry over you
My talks with time will go on....
Meanwhile,
You have a Great Day and an Awesome Time Stopping Weekend :)

Last night I dreamt once again...
after a long long time
past ,present future...
all collided together
what I saw was not ..a mix of colors
or a play around of shadows
It was the color white
purest form if one ever saw so bright
What I dreamt uptil now..
was all black..
as black as the color of night
Good Afternoon,Good Evening and Good Night ;-)

What is the meaning of life
Thinkers spend time,
thinking about it
Rich people spend time at holy places,
learning about it
Influential people spend time being ambassadors,
working for it
Writers spend time being PHD,
theorizing about it
Fearful people spend whole life,
worrying about it
We the people ,What should we Do?
Just live it up
make life stand back and look us up!!
Another gala day...
live it up !!

Walking aside a river
came across a sliver--
was on verge of joining waters
A year on,
It was still on that verge
awaiting waters to converge
to have itself submerged
Today-
It’s left it’s shore
paths so unsure
For us,
Our paths don’t need time
they converge,diverge all the time
We don’t need a river
don’t need to be a sliver
River outisde is not our momentum
For us inside is the momentum
Be that momentum…
This day ….this weekend
Have a Great Weekend !!

Something special :) Sometimes !!
Sometimes I wonder...
who should be blamed
the one who changed
or the catalyst for the change
Sometimes I speak aloud...
who should be spoken against
the one who speaks too much
or the one who spoke nothing
Sometimes I look around..
who should be seen
the one whose eyes are looking away
or the one who kept eyes always on me
Sometimes I face two-faced twirps...
which face should I face
the face which helped others
or the face which now wants help coz it helped others
Sometimes I feel the thoughts...
which thought should I consider
the one which has hatred for me,
the one which wants something from me
or, one where for his good wants to manipulate me
Sometimes I see group of 'so-called' friends
who screw others
coz they want out that other...
coz they want to help their brother..
Sometimes I flounder...
in all that is to wonder
why people become so mutant
when all they should be is mature
Well Sometimes........
A Dense thought for hopefully a Simple day :)
Think about it !!
U might know someone like that around you ;-)

My Gud Morning posts
U can count no. of people I have come across
whose paths somehow I happen to criss cross
U understand what some people feel around you
whose feelings mean a lot for you
U judge other's decisions based on unknown reasons
whose validity changes with changing seasons
U can claim to know many people in your life..
Claim that about yourself..
and you will know your life !!
Written on 31st May'2006
Sitting in my college hostel room..
I though of various paths on which life would zoom
Life seemed so reckless then..just a stairway to heaven
Just mug up some notes,do some research
and u would be top of the perch
with few speedbreakers on road to eternity
Infinite seconds,
countless people
countable places later
Life still seems to be reckless...
ethernity still persists..
road still exists
but has more frequent bumps
and less frequent speedbreakers
Enjoy the ride!!
Have a Great Day :)

There are hopes on which we base our judgements
and then ,
judgements on which we base our hopes
the whole mirage of life continues...
Till something comes along
and we look at the basis of our life
the base of all this strife
what we see is heart rending
as well as heart warming
Heart rending becoz
our judgments shattered many hopes
our hopes widened distance between many hearts
Heart warming becoz
our hopes created many paths
our judgements withered distance between many hearts
Hope today be that day for you !!
Look up your basis :)
Have a Great day

Today I saw yesterday
standing with tomorrow
And I met myself..
walking behind my future self
I saw myself,
looking at things with wonder
which previously looked like blunder
I heard myself,
talking to people
who never cared to
I saw time,
and time smiled back..
said I cant come back-
- but you will see my shadow
in your future's window
I think,
I am looking at that window right now
Have a Great Day

When I was a kid..
I looked at sunday with longing
and desire for fun & serials:)
When I went to college..
I looked at sunday
as a means to complete my courseware
When I went into job
I stopped looking at Sunday
Instead I saw Saturday
2 days of pure fun and relaxation
Now,
After just one time of no weekend..
I look back and remember...
all the joys I lost
all the movies I missed
all the sleep I lost
But Alas..
Monday is here...
And I have another weekend to plan for :)
Have a Great day:)

As,
you look back.at the week gone by
do look back at our rights mauled over by....

A huge discussion has churned my thoughts..
why do we need reservation?
who deserves reservation?
I see esteemed leaders ploughing profits into their coffers
by hitting nails into our future's coffins
I see people who once were nobody
fighting as if today they are somebody
I see votes being cast
to put back reservation in it's cast
The ghost of Mandal has risen once again
this time it's not going back to return again
this time we end it here and when
no more political bludgeoning of our futures we will allow..
becoz no more in this country inequality we allow
Rise up people...
we have work to do
If leaders can't think for us
let's take them to the brink with us
Let's.......

All our world today thinks of is life on other worlds
Have we ever thought..
why no one's looking for us from other worlds
Maybe coz they've seen what life has begun to mean for us...
we are more self reliant...more centralized thus,
we are more advanced...more mechanized thus,
we are more logical...more detached thus
Maybe we are required to be more human..
more compassionate thus...
Let's be that...
Have a Great Day!! :)

Why do we meet such people
Who just romp in and we are conquered
Why do such ppl clamber our attention
Who just come in and take our life
Why do we recognize all ppl but ones..
Who should be marked devil's advocate
Why can't we see beyond those smiles
Who these people really are
Where do they get all that charm
To nudge us into seas of storm
Where do they get all those aces
To defeat us Love All
Why and where are too many questions..
But there is just one answer
Find it today…
Have a great day !!

To be honest to others..
is very easy because u can change
according to others perception
To be honest to oneself
is very difficult...because mostly u never know
what you percieve is of yourself
Try to find out !!

I just had a walk through the clouds today
clouds which were blue once
they are all brown...today
I just swam through rains today
rains that were of water once
they are of acids...today
I just met some people today
people who were connected to others personally
they are connected to them technologically...today
Let's be what we were a long time ago...
let's be more human once again...
And let's have a Great Day Today!!

A look at the sea,
at all those waves running back and forth
It felt as if,
I am a rock star...
land is a big stage
and all those waves....
they are people
dancing back and forth
to the tunes I am creating
But fact is,
I am listening to the tunes of the sea
trust me,
they are far better than tunes of the land..
all those people,and vehicles !!
No,
I would rather be here with the sea...
Okay now back to land...
and yeah!! back to work too !!
Have a Great day!!

There is a story about a world which was lost to the sea
and then another about a world lost to the mind
I think our world will be the first which is still fighting a battle
a losing battle against our own heart and it's wishes
Let's win the battle
But First,
Start with a Funky Monday :)

As I look back into those eyes..
I see a lot of know-how
but just an iota of experiece
As I look back into those eyes..
I see a lot of happiness
but just a hint of sadness
I look back again into those eyes..
I see a lot of pride
but just a dot of dissatisfaction
then I look back at the mirror
which shows all this in me..
And I ask myself,
what should I observe...
the small things in life
or, the bigger picture..
A question for all .....!!
Have a Great Day and a Zooming weekend :)

As time goes on
Our interests seem to change
our habits get outmoded
our friends become memories
A lot changes in us
But for us,we stay permanent
Change does happen..
but it is in outer being
inside we are same
Stay the same,
Have a Great Day

Why do we meet such people
Who just romp in and we are conquered
Why do such ppl clamber our attention
Who just come in and take our life
Why do we recognize all ppl but ones..
Who should be marked devil's advocate
Why can't we see beyond those smiles
Who these people really are
Where do they get all that charm
To nudge us into seas of storm
Where do they get all those aces
To defeat us Love All
Why and where are too many questions..
But there is just one answer
Find it today…
Have a great day !!

To be honest to others..
is very easy because u can change
according to others perception
To be honest to oneself
is very difficult...because mostly u never know
what you percieve is of yourself
Try to find out !!
Have a Great Day

I just had a walk through the clouds today
clouds which were blue once
they are all brown...today
I just swam through rains today
rains that were of water once
they are of acids...today
I just met some people today
people who were connected to others personally
they are connected to them technologically...today
Let's be what we were a long time ago...
let's be more human once again...
And let's have a Great Day Today!!

A look at the sea,
at all those waves running back and forth
It felt as if,
I am a rock star...
land is a big stage
and all those waves....
they are people
dancing back and forth
to the tunes I am creating
But fact is,
I am listening to the tunes of the sea
trust me,
they are far better than tunes of the land..
all those people,and vehicles !!
No,
I would rather be here with the sea...
Okay now back to land...
and yeah!! back to work too !!
Have a Great day!!

There is a story about a world which was lost to the sea
and then another about a world lost to the mind
I think our world will be the first which is still fighting a battle
a losing battle against our own heart and it's wishes
Let's win the battle
But First,
Start with a Funky Monday :)

As I look back into those eyes..
I see a lot of know-how
but just an iota of experiece
As I look back into those eyes..
I see a lot of happiness
but just a hint of sadness
I look back again into those eyes..
I see a lot of pride
but just a dot of dissatisfaction
then I look back at the mirror
which shows all this in me..
And I ask myself,
what should I observe...
the small things in life
or, the bigger picture..
A question for all .....!!
Have a Great Day and a Zooming weekend :)

As time goes on
Our interests seem to change
our habits get outmoded
our friends become memories
A lot changes in us
But for us,we stay permanent
Change does happen..
but it is in outer being
inside we are same
Stay the same,
Have a Great Day

Today in my dream
I saw tomorrow
I couldn't really recognize
it then I was told...
I possibly couldn't recognize it
because I am making it change today
Let's change tomorrow as told by others...
Let today be that Great day!!
