Tempestuous

2011-12-30T16:45:00.000+05:30

It all fell apart with one angry word Immature and small Or so i was told Never rational caring or humane Just some angry fireball Impulsive, re... the list goes on These are my laurels my faults on display In this public world Wavering sanity, i had a free fall The tempest has passed A calmness prevails Over my wrecked world...

Bed-time tales

Sheets of love and muffled words blend into the square form and its limitations The longing arms caress that slight dent on the mattress to find someone And ache in its absence Yes, you were here somewhere says those fingertips which felt your breath that day And now lies numb & dead Come back here. That dent fits well with you like cinderella's shoes would do And so would the arms that

And i shall not speak

The curtains were flapping silently in the room while the fan whirred and whirred. There were a mixture of noises in the background: clanking of the utensils, splashing of water & a pressure cooker's whistle with the steam sputtering out. The rush of people getting ready to go to office could be seen with a car moving out of the compound every other minute. The honking of numerous cars on the

Unending banterOne after the othertalks & longer talksbut no information unfold... Laughter breakingthe monotonyof the same oldsame old life... Freezing of timefleeting glimpsesof the bygonethe one to have lived for... And then roll backto the mundanebut with that smileand a hidden spark... The day of freedomis not too farnot too far anymore...

Yes we were there again... when i smiled coz i could feel the curves of your lips form into a crescent moon when you shared your joy with veiled suspense when i felt your spirit filled with hope, love and trust to give it a chance and make life colourful with shades of bliss, fate & game when i knew you are with that someone you were destined to be not a stop-over but the final train Yes, we

Dreams or something else...

2011-09-13T23:08:00.000+05:30

To wake up in a sudden abrupt way and being wide wake in less than a second. A cold sweat down the back of your neck, shivery palms & dried parched mouth. That unsettling feeling that something isn't right. Peering into the unfazed & sleeping face next to you, which lies undisturbed, unaware of your fear. That acute sense of complete loneliness. That need of mom's warmth. To tell you '

Walking by

2011-08-09T12:15:00.001+05:30

I like walking alone by the sea in the night. You cant see anything other than reflections of far off stars. You hear the waves but are unsure if they would reach you this time or fizzle off before splashing against you. You are alone but you can feel the big wide world out there like the lives in the sea. There is a peace but there is also a constant churn taking you high and low like the tides.

Four, not a bad score

So who was it? Did he say it or did you pop the question? One of the most common question that has been thrown at me. Who proposed whom? And every time there is this awkward pause. How do you explain to anyone that neither of us really proposed. It was just a moment and we knew. We gave no gifts We made no speech No letters shared No words were there He held my glance i held that stare Our

As we speak again

2011-07-24T14:44:00.000+05:30

When was it last that your thought went past my mind? What a contrast from the days & weeks i spent in the dream of you making me go weak in the knees? Such is the case that within your embrace lies my last love, my last grace. i fold my hands into one but i find no one who would show me the dawn. i held my peace then. But now my smiles cease to make any sense, to ease the pain i feel every

Now how?

2011-07-07T03:06:00.000+05:30

I heard those lines Someone had read them Some other day In the same rhythm I heard those words They were the same But had lost the touch Lost the charm You said you knew I said I knew But they were forgotten As time flew Searching for the source I walk again You think it has a reason You still think i am sane Forgotten in some corner I lie on a soft bed Comfortable but numb Fearing to tread

In love no more

Just a passing thought

Up and down, round and round Up and down, round and round That is what happens when you stop the gym and eat the sweets.

A place for you, a place for me

"Why would you say that?" "It is unique. It has the woody feeling. It has the old world charm, quaint, but it is bubbling with the young and new. It is at the most obvious places, but you need to have an eye to find it. You can't see the sea, but you can smell the salt in the air. The crowd is close by, but you can't hear it. It is all of that and more..." The coffee mugs looked more beautiful.

Who loses more?

On the first page of our story The future seemed so bright Then this thing turned out to be so evil I don't know why i'm still surprised... And surprised i stay looking back at all the days turning a blind eye to all the things glaring at me Next time it won't be the same you will once again change till the next time you hit again and i fall for the same scheme It's not about who is right It's

We will both forget the breeze,most of the time... and i am happy for you and sad for me i could not be to you what you were to me... So you laugh about your life And sip into its beauty And you have your fears Some questions, somewhere... And i laugh about my life its madness, unpredictability And its uncertain turns A place of no returns... The breeze is there i feel it sometimes And at

And then he smiled. Like the sun shining after a long week of cloudy, morose days. And she smiled too. The spirit rising from the deepest trench and invigorating every bit of her body & soul. And they could sleep peacefully dreaming of a tomorrow better than the today that was gone forever.

And suddenly everything changed those who did not believe in magic never found it Somewhere over the rainbow Grace found Anthon Berg While waiting for a new dawn Abby and Anna thought Is Mumbai water fattening? Sometimes I think life is one big test and I'm in the wrong classroom And i stood alone, sordid, in the act of defiance amidst the cacophony of laughter behind me I strayed along to

A day, a life

2011-03-10T13:25:00.000+05:30

Another day of dialogues of knick knacks and some brick bats Another day of walking together of holding hands and sleeping apart Another day of lively cheer of passionate hopes and deeper fears Another day of mundane dryness of creative sparks and insane plans Another day of me and you of us and them and a million words...

No Ever After

Lifetime validity ends when the sim card breaks the connection or when the owner does not take care and the phone is damaged, Lost or stolen and with it you lose the messages of the heart the hours of open words the pictures of years past Indispensable.Unbreakable.Forever.Ever after.

Waiting for you...

Dil behal toh jaayega, iss khayal se, haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se Raat ye qaraar ki, beqaraar hai Tumhara intezaar hai... Honth pe liye huye dil ki baat hum jaagte rahenge aur, kitni raat hum Muqtasar si baat hai, tumse pyaar hai Tumhara intezaar hai... Hauntingly beautiful. One of my all time favourite composition, as reminded by my Alibag partner. That wait, that never-ending,

Someday

2011-01-14T08:30:00.000+05:30

Someday, somewhere you would wake up and i would be gone The same silly one who filled you up with laughter and cheer Someday you will glance to your left side and search for my face but find no trace... While i would hide not to be found by any chance Someday you would seek the warmth, the comfort of my hands, in yours While it will only be yours in my sweatshirt: the one i forgot to take back

Our Walk

2010-12-31T04:00:00.000+05:30

Through the push-pull doors, Near the garbage, Taking the right when all move ahead We complete our circle of loo times and lunch ends before we move to our desk Our walk of a year and a half With cups in our hands and a pouch of coffee or tea bags Through the winding corridors and lanes, prying eyes turned our way we walk and start the vending machine's march Our walk of some days and hours

All through the night

2010-12-31T03:35:00.000+05:30

Her smile enchanting and wise was no longer charming or nice All through the night She called the name All through the night She lived in shame Struggling to keep up the face She needed some cheap, some fake disguise to take "Oh, I understand I see your point plain" Those words are so bland they give her much pain All through the night the words came back All through the night she felt it

In another world. On another day.

Someone I have known for years, probably for the longest period of my conscious life, told me this: "There are lives we wish we lived and we don't". Like a move in the game of chess. You choose your move anticipating a certain response from your opponent. You also try to anticipate a number of subsequent moves by both of you and imagine a few scenarios. Sometimes you don't make a move, because
