The way we are...

The way we said our last goodbye
I don't remember seeing you cry.
To me, each second seemed like a year.
You didn't feel the same, but maybe I wasn't there.

It took time but I found my feet.
I tried to reason why, but never could see.
You tried to talk and I turned away,
Pushing too hard and stumbling down darker ways

And then it wasn't about you anymore.
I saw people around me who could take no more.
Building walls too high to scale,
Snatching my bricks, they pulled me awake.

By then you had already given up.
Turns out, it was a good thing the jig was up.
After all we had been through,
You still let go so soon.

Although each day feels like a fresh new start
It still feels like we were never meant to part
Yet, here we are now and I can do nought
But see how it turns out...

Modern Parenthood in Amravati

A tiny life under the sun and the moon. Parents bright with ambition and drool. "Mine! Mine!" the mother says, "Yours! Yours!" absconds the father. "Who am I...?" wonders the daughter. "Housewife or 'Mod' wife" replies mother. "If you study hard and get good marks... You will surely escape Amravati, for the better." "Who am I...?" wonders the son. The father replies, "Hopes and dreams of everyone..." "Except yourself..." added he. "For you know too little, "and are a little too green. And 'green' as you know, isn't worth a dime nor a nickel" "Daddy what is this?" inquires the child. "I don't have time beta" says he, sunk in his mobile. "Mummy can we play?" pleads the child. "Just let me finish watching this forward", mummy groans and sighs. "My child just doesn't let go of the phone!" Cries the parent in school. Onc...

Infectious Symphony

Crawling out of the obscure darkness, Seeping into your brain. Hints and waves of sharpness; Of thunder and orchestrated rain. Crashing, then receding An ecstatic hold on souls. Surrendering and tapping As it rushes from brain to soles... Tickling and thumping With every rise and fall. A world of beats syncing, Melding into a united call. Calling, pulling you deeper within Swirls of ancient calls Hidden and sunken beings Awakening and returning the calls. And every light and hue Of earth and seas and all A symphony growing and spreading; Infecting and uniting them all...

A few stray stands here and there...

1. If you can define freedom, it's not really freedom, is it? 2. A child's curiosity is insatiable... The day it is satiated, is the beginning of adulthood and it's the most disheartening thing to see. 3. Books are like glass... They show you your magnificent reflection when there is darkness outside and show you the beautiful outside when there is darkness inside. 4. If you want to know the truth in any religion, ask the "big guys" what they consider sacrilege. 5. It's no wonder that silence resonates with us; well, figuratively speaking. It is after all the body's natural state... 6. Funnily enough, you don't have to be happy to help someone else find happiness... Although, in the process you might accidentally find something that makes you happy... 7. We are brought into conditions unwillingly, become situations obliviously and then shape conditions unknowingly. What you do today does change the world, whether you want it or not. 8. ...
