Frozen…

White as far as it can be concealed,
The earth below fine, nicely sealed,
It’s all around and right before you,
Hiding all things that was out of true,

I have you, and all things taken care,
I have leveled the fields fine and fair,
As you now begin to walk and slide,
Glance for all things that you denied,

Let it Go, Let it Go,
Make a new impression, as you go,
Let it Go, Let it Go,
It’s never too late to gather and grow,

Its time, you take your first stride,
Recall all the things, you cast aside,
Safe and sound and hiding inside,
Leave them here and look outside.

Make a fresh set of marks, walk now,
Treat life and struggle like the snow,
Never fear to hold hands when in need,
You are never alone, feel then freed,

Let it Go, Let it Go,
Leave the self behind, and so you go,
Let it Go, Let it Go,
It’s never too bad to melt yet glow,

The field is open, the scene is set,
Fresh new living, all you can whet,
As you walk and drive through this,
Make it real good, but do reminisce,

One more chance, one more change,
At the jolt, you will feel a lil’ strange,
Who cared anyway, what you were,
Go live your life, let criticisms deter

Let it Go, Let it Go,
The pride and sins like a gliding floe,
Let it Go, Let it Go,

There’s more to offer, than you know…

.. a walk in downtown

As good as it was once,
Walking the lines and streets so dark,
Smoky as it was, people waiting and talking
With Men staring and women so inviting,

The nights so young, and yes they were,
Too many people talking, yet you can hear,
And paid a dollar, for every glass of beer,
Kept walking until it wasn’t really anywhere,

Sirens, smokers, hookah, walkers, stalkers,
The flashing lights, the troubling dark lanes,
Someone smiling and offering you a drink,
Drunk and broken, breakups and curses,

As you walked past every feeling that night,
Bars, churches, restaurants, vendors, drugs,
Love, passion, loners, liars, thugs and hugs,
It will seem only clear, on one dark night,

And realize that it wasn’t just another night,
It was your life that you were walking past,
An aimless journey isn’t really a waste,
As you walk, where your legs lead you,

You can choose to stop, where you want,
And then walk in, and blow all that you have
In a minute, and sit there with empty pockets,
Five minutes worth of dancing in the dark,

And then there is not one, no one but you,
You walk down the aisle, past the poles,
No one looks at you….
Fresh air again, but again nowhere to go,
Few crumpled dollars in your jeans,
And then you see a distant light

You stop by the one small bar, out there,
That flashes $3 for $4 for shots and beer,
You walk in, and still see those familiar faces,
Smiling, wailing, walking, talking, stalking,

.. you are there, finally for just one more beer.

As good as it was once,
As good as it can get, everything’s different.

….. it just got better ;)

If and Only If...

If you can keep your head, when all around you,
Are losing their heads over scotch and rum, and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself, when all cops and bouncers doubt you,
Still try hard enough to prove you aren’t done, still pose sober
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait in the big line outside the dance club,
And not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about being served meat over veggies, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated by other men for dancing with style,
Don’t give way to hating,


If you can dream—and not make those drinks your master;
If you can think—even after rounds and rounds of partying,
If you can meet with vodka and tequila at the bar,
And treat those two imposters just the same,
If you can drink enough, to hear the truth you've spoken
(to your wife), that you haven’t had more than two glasses
Or watch the things around you without breaking them,
And stoop and build some good relationships with a smile,

If you can make one heap of all your tequila glasses,
And risk it on one more glass of pitch-and-toss
Collapse them, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breath, when you are asked for a DUI test,


If you can force your heart, nerve and sinew,
If you can greet everyone at the dance hall and still be fine,
If neither friends, foes, bartenders, waitresses, wives, spouse can hurt you,
If all women count with you, but none know your wife,
If you can fill those unforgiving 6 minutes, with
12 pieces of REDHOT wings at Buffalo Wing House,
If you can hold on, till the clock strikes 00:00:00 and can still
Wish every person next to you, 
“ a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2014… “
Yours is the Night and everything that is part of 2014
And --- which could be even more ---
You’ll be a Man, my brother!

New Year resolution 2014


No more new resolutions for the year,
Life begins once again on the low gear.
I won’t be here; yet I won’t be gone,
Got to work, breaking New year’s dawn.

Another year gone, now one year older,
2013 goes quietly in my archive folder,
Didn’t turn wiser, but saved memories;
Life subsists on e-diaries or lost histories.

Newer challenges and more new goals,
Need to stop writing them on toilet rolls,
Those that I never read, nor like to see,
When all is done, I am sure, you all agree.

More things to do; added to my task lists,
There is not one template that pre-exists,
You plan for one; you end doing the other,
Replan, rewrite all over; my dear brother.

Then a year would come, with December,
Then you start thinking; and remember,
You succeed in finding the list; all still blank,
Your dollars on e-cloud; but zero in bank!

I hate new years and all that are inspiring,
I am so really looking forward to retiring,
Not with dollars, plastics and e-accounts,
But with no-guilt-in-life that really counts.

Human as I am, breathing, burying, caring,
As life goes by earning, winning, un-sharing,
Today, the only checklist, that I will need,
Take it out, one at a time, life’s rising weed.

No plans work; no checklist will do things,
With life tangling between invisible strings,
Of temptations, fears, doubts and losses,
A puppet by nature, loitering race horses!

Little dreams; positive plans, smaller goals,
Goals on no toilet rolls, nor with loopholes,
Setting ones that work, ones that are real,
Will only mark those ones that really appeal.

No more new resolutions for the year,
Life must begin once again on the low gear.
I won’t be here long; yet I won’t be gone,
Got to work, breaking New year’s dawn.

Paradise on Earth...


The wait was long, and the journey just began,
This is the paradise land, of islands before japan,
The honeymoon just sets in, and heart full of joy,
Did they ever bring her here, the Helen of troy?

The vastness of space and the zephyr all around,
The splendor of waves, nature’s parade ground,
Carved out of anger, clamor, passion and power,
What lies beneath, earth’s own meteor shower.

The west was earnest and the east nearly divine,
Partaking the sun’s rise and fall, in their very shrine,
No time to lose your mind, or just to rush around,
It’s a Shangri-La on earth, which someone found.

A new rainbow of sands; green, black, white and grey,
The Black Mustang convertible in hand, to drive all day,
A walk through the clouds and the milieu below,
A chain of waterfalls and lands not carved long ago !

The longer you ramble, there is more to become,
The gushing streams under your feet, crafting a thrum,
No camera can match the view, of your very own eye,
So shut it down, and relish that sight from your lanai.

Walking on the land, that once sailed hot and wide,
Entombing below it, some of bad men’s land and pride,
A new land, once feared, but now a continental slope,
A new green grass and flower, expelling a ray of hope.

Surely not a life, that you would want to relish alone,
Have the one by your side, a love, in the tropical zone,
You would never feel alone, with them on your side,
Your dear one and the Nature, one  perfect life, beside.

A small island next to the big one, Maui is its name,
Buildings, roads and noisy people, embarrassing its fame,
But if you prefer serenity and love, just for the two,
Go along the east coast, or just simply stay by the blue.

The room on the beach, and the waves splashing tall,
A lovely overview of the ocean, of sands weaving a shawl,
That you can use to snuggle, and watch the sun sink fast,
Go down the glistening ocean, flattering a tick of the past.

But wait! It is not all done yet; stalk a few more seconds,
Now is the time, you stare into space, and the sky beckons,
A magnificent golden sky, adorning a blue blanket so bright,
That’s an addendum note from day, for the night sky’s invite!

Blue turns violet, violet turns pretty, a dauntless starry sky,
A perfect time for love to bloom, dinner served with a spry,
The welcoming stars, the distant lights and sound of conch,
The end marks the beginning, the beginning just so staunch.

Hours into minutes turn to seconds faster, as the days pass by,
With sandals in hand, along the shores of waves, you walk by,
All you carry are memories, all you leave are footprints on sand,
There is nothing more to take back, expect your love,
That is holding your heart and clasping your left hand!

The Legend Ends.. 04/27/2012


The longer were days, but lesser the time,
It’s a bad man’s race, but war’s not a crime,
Hours turned to days, days grew into years,
And then he writes, but then he disappears.

The curtains will rise, newer wars to fight,
Every fight’s a war, and it’s one fright night,
Challenges to face and changes to embrace,
It’s season’s finale; someone in your place.

Then play your game, you lose or you win,
All heads around you, don’t let them grin,
For winners aren’t sinners, losers told so,
When you win, don’t forget to take a bow.

He knew it all along, that it wasn’t the end,
There was no message he wished to send,
The face behind this mask, loves the dark,
Who is He ? That’d be a big question mark.

The deeper those fears, the longer it takes,
When it comes out, the giant world shakes,
You choose your life, and prefer the way,
You are the dark knight, choose your prey.

Here he lies, mask to light, face to ground,
A killer so named, and so he was crowned,
Neither friends nor foes, would know him,
You’ve seen this face, in the light very dim.

As serene you come, quiet must you leave,
Drown all your past, then stride to achieve,
The newer world awaits, more new battles,
Break first the skull, don’t own those rattles.

Light of that dark shadow, now shines down,
He’s neither a knight and nor another clown,
The decision taken, and it’s time to move on,
Better sun rise, it’s got to be one new dawn.

The curtains will fade, the light will show up,
Take a sip in your gains, but empty that cup,
And now he would fade away, out of the blue,
The legend ends here, for him, but not you.

Rajni Kanth, is his Name

A really wonderful week to start with,
Talk about this man that isn’t a Myth,
A god to some, of many small things,
Someone the fan worships and sings.

Rajni Kanth, a living standard of style,
He can make you wink as well as smile,
Whether you worship or see him crazy,
On the screen he is so active, not lazy !

Emails, videos, songs show him funny,
But his character is relentlessly runny,
Whether you love him or hate to core,
The heart’ll say, Yeh, Dil Maange More.

Every hero has his displays of fashion,
Which he embraces with some passion,
Rajni Kanth is one hero, of that creed,
Admit it, he did sow the style of seed !

What he reaped was success and love,
That kept him soaring up and so above,
He is an example of what we think deep,
Result of good seed, success, so you reap.

Many an actor, tried to adopt his ways,
Fans of all ages stay and watch in daze,
How does he really live up to all of that,
His bones so intact even if he falls flat !

The only thing you will like about him,
That he really stays fit and just so trim,
Unlike the Heroes of his age and time,
Acting as a Hero in 60’s, is not a crime !

Whether he splits one bullet to kill two,
Whether his body is fit to chew a screw,
Whether he can fly like that superman,
Kill a virus from infecting corporate LAN,

Whether he can travel faster than light,
Or at the speed of light, vanish for sight,
Whether he can defy gravity of the earth,
He is an Alien from Mars, here from birth.



Despite all things, he is one star of a kind,
He believes to live by heart than the mind,
A Star on screen, yet likes to live so normal,
Loves to wear attire, that are just informal.

My best wishes, for this hero, this very day,
Living in the heart and soul of millions today,
Rajni Kanth, the brand behind what is style,
If you start, you tend to write for one mile!

Stay neutral and love him for what he is,
Can sit back, close your eyes and reminisce,
That’s him the Super Star, out of the blue,
He is one Entertainer, for all, even me and you !
