Changing times..

There were more of good days and less bad days I'll ever forget the times we had I had expected the same from you, but I was wrong The times are changing for you those memories are slowly fading away Hoping against the hope racing against the time  I pray and will continue to wish That someday things will be normal you'll realize who we were who I was in your life unless you were faked till now The clock is ticking with every second, the times are changing holding onto past is something I can't do now because there is no assurance if my past can be a part of my time to come Caring for you in past was unconditional but now why should I Shedding the last one from the parched eyes I live in fear that you'll be gone yet as times change I let go of that fear, Fck You!

World, Life and Moments..

Image
Every second of our life is, in gist, directly related to some purpose of this journey. Everything we do has a consequence..EVERYTHING is connected in some way or the other, just that we need to figure out how these dots are related. We all have been to school/college, if one person had not been put in some section X, the class could have been entirely different. The same analogy is applicable to almost every domain of life.  People talk about changing life by doing big things but even a gentle smile on the street can change someone's life. If a grasshopper hopping from one place to another can cause a tornado on some side of the world, what do you think a bungee stunt can do? We all talk about efficiency, Maruti's models are promoted for their efficiency( kitna deti hai! ), inefficiency has no place in this world. Life is not so inefficient or even lazy/miser that it would have just one purpose.  To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, Newton said....

Umm..when was the last time..

Late night car rides help me think, especially when I am returning from work. Letting someone else do the driving while I stare unobservant out of the window with light music soothing my ears, hardly stopping for little or no fellow riders - the world moves. All this is actually sanative. The wide, shimmering roads were like canvases - ready to absorb the colors from the painter's mind. At a traffic signal, a baby in the car next to mine smiled at me. It was such an innocent smile which left me wondering - When was the last time.. I smiled at a stranger I gave up a seat for the snr. citizens? I refrained from bargaining a daily wage vendor? I inquired about the well being of my domestic help, the cab driver, their families? I thanked those guys who wipes the table at the restaurant and serves food? I went for an early morning walk I saw the sunrise and the sunset? I gave myself a break And just lay on the grass, social network and all forgotten When was ...
Lukewarm drops of water leak from above Of a barren derelict well Trickling down, catching the bits of sunlight Amidst the littoral of aches at the bottom A lone daffodil lies tossed in the turbid abyss The plain beauty returns to the long-buried well. With the soft aroma muffled in the quagmire The scent lingering in the air like a vibgyor bow It lies dispiritedly in the darkness, panting for breath Expecting the fugitive breath of life When the halcyon rays falls from the heavens The nights soaks the shining light creating a starlit silent path of life Like the sound of crushed glass rubbing against silk the wind suspires overhead The daffodil settles in darkness again After the spark dies and waits. Some suggest to seize any good from the depths of the well Leaning against the worn out stones to pull up the waving daffodil Reaching for its stem the invisible thorns fires back, bosoming its foe The blood courses from the palms The daffodil sti...

Understanding..

~There are times when understanding is more important than being right! Sometimes it is about understanding Understanding the unspoken Hiding behind the curtain of silence Understanding the one who is hurt Held back behind a veil of silence Understanding the wounded Concealed under auto-rebelliousness Understanding the unusual happiness Understanding the yearning the forlornness, the anguish tolerated So, when you really understand The reasons behind the moist oculi and apprehensions The dreams and needs The thoughts which drives the action The confinements which dominates and the want of the psyche I know, I understand, can say that When you truly understand you can pardon anything, admit everything ..and probably truly love..

Traffic signals!

Image
This is not the first time that I saw a traffic signal,but there was something peculiar about this series of signals in Bandra(W). Not only there were 6 signals within a distance of 1km, interestingly all were of different colors at any given point in time. Sitting in a cab, with blaring horns all around I decided to put my earbuds to good use and started observing the various activities happening on the road to hell. The cab driver, an impatient one, kept on pressing the gas pedal without realizing the neutral gear. The light turned green and I was sure that it'll be my first drag race experience while sitting in a cab but to my disappointment the super attentive female driver of the front car was busy day dreaming. Suddenly, her common sense kicked in, the car moved and I exclaimed - "jal gayi batti madam ki"! As the cab moved, I noticed a cute baby in the adjacent car, as a friendly gesture I waved my hand. But the looks which the mother gave were enough to...

The Keeper of the stars

It was no accident me finding you Someone had a hand in it Long before we ever knew Now I just can't believe you're in my life Heaven's smilin' down on me As I look at you tonight I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars He sure knew what he was doin' When he joined these two hearts I hold everything When I hold you in my arms I've got all I'll ever need Thanks to the keeper of the stars Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine It takes my breath away Just to look into your eyes I know I don't deserve a treasure like you There really are no words To show my gratitude So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars He sure knew what he was doin' When he joined these two hearts I hold everything When I hold you in my arms I've got all I'll ever need Thanks to the keeper of the stars It was no accident me finding you Someone had a hand in it Long before we ever knew
