The year that was, 2014

Only today morning, a few of us were having this little chat and someone asked, what did each one of us feel about the New Year’s eve? While some said New Year’s eve is a day to celebrate and start off the new year cheerfully, some others said it is nothing more than just a…

Paint Me The Sky

Paint me the sky for I wish to fly high Blue and perfect it shall be With all the birds that’d be free Dance with the wind for I wish to flow with what’s not machined Bending and fluttering all over the tranquil sea One colourful and treasuring moment, it’d be Teach me to sing…

Quote of the day

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how…

Feeling Alive

“I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.” Joseph Campbell Feeling Alive. It doesn’t entail you to be a part of the most ecstatic moments ever known to mankind. Rather it is about finding that ecstasy in the trivial things…

‘WE’ or ‘ME’

 ‘Living for each other.’ This impulsive idea has been shoved into our eyes by the fantasy fairy tales, Bollywood and the likes. Right from our childhood, we are brought up like we are made to live for each other. The society we live in talks about ‘WE’ and not ‘ME’. But, a deeper look into…

When I look at you

Yesterday I looked into your eyes (willingly). I just could not hold them up there, but just hardly five seconds. Something triggered my soul and I just started looking down. Out of respect. Admiration. Or maybe it was the rampant blushing. Something did. Something just involuntarily made me look down. I could feel it flow through…

Because growing up is tough

I would say last 5-6 months have been a poignant affair for me. The daunting fear of failure, too much of academic related stress, homely responsibilities and to add to it, like the cherry on a cake, loss of the few good friends I had. In times like these, the only option is to keep…

The Path Less Travelled By

Almost every fortnight, I have an intuition of doing that one ‘rarest of the rare’ thing with an unsubstantiated hope of feeling better. A self-conceived hypothesis, that it would make me feel better about myself. I had indubitably been an indispensable part of a few erroneous deeds. And today, I look up for redemption. An…

All the time

Every morning, waking up with sun I imagine you and me having all the fun I make sure that no sadness leaves any trace I think of ways to put a smile on your face You and me, like my poem and the rhyme All the time. Every second, I feel you around me Together…

Zindagi Me Aao Tum

Phool saare murjha gaye the, par aaj phir woh dikhe khilte hue Chaand sitaare saare benoor the, par aaj phir woh tumse roshan hue Bas tumko dekha aur dekhte hi rahi, dil ki dhadkane bhi ab hai badhne lagi Meri palkein joh ashqon me simat gayi thi, aaj phir woh khwab dekhne lagi Ab bas…

Woh Beintihaan Pyaar

Doob kar teri in ankhon mein, maine sapne saja liye hain Mujhe raah joh dikha rahe, woh teri mohabbat ke diye hain Teri ek khushi ke liye main de dun yuhn toh hazaroon kurbani Kyunki tujhme basa hai mera dil, mere pyaar ki nishaani Kuch aise rutbe se pyaar hai tujhse ae hamsafar Jee rahi…

Too Hard to Handle

Good for nothing. This feeling is too hard to handle. You had been laboring meticulously to get certain things done with perfection. And, the result is a whining smile from your ancient hostile friend- the failure. That smile is too hard to handle. The worst thing about the ‘too hard to handle’ situations is that…
