LOST

Don’t repeat my mistake young men,
I am here alone, and through all pain,
You will realize all that am saying when,
The moment you stopped being sane,

Its been six years and I really miss her,
There has been no turning till this time,
Not until I heard, “ Do excuse me, sir”,
I moved away and noticed my ex prime,

The one for which, I had breathed life,
The one who changed everthing in me,
The one who claimed would be my wife,
The one who swore will ne’er disagree,

I lost her, my better half, in a fit of rage,
Just because, she was out with a friend,
Never showed maturity for my own age,
When I felt falling in love was one trend,

I saw her today here, with her only son,
She looked back at me, slightly confused,
When both knew nothing can be undone,
Where I was the only one to be accused,

Just a ‘Hi’ is all that I got as a reply then,
7 years now, and you will be blown away,
So stay calm and patience, my dear men,
Keep all that faith, love alive, don’t slay,

What’s lost is lost, will remain really gone,
Use your head more than…… young man,
Sorry, I meant your heart, now don’t yawn,
Don’t always sit right on retirement plan,

I spent five minutes with her, so precious,
That’s the best I could, with her son crying,
For food and she had to go, less to discuss,
She leaves me there, with tears, so dying,

I stood there, as she walked with her son,
That pretty lady, I had loved, only loved,
For my act of stupidity, on November one,
I am paying the price, gone my beloved,

She turned around once, to give me a smile,
I realized in love,she had gone past a mile,
Noticed her son’s hand, waving a good bye,
There she leaves me , with one big sigh,

New York ! City of dreams, just dreams,
Heavy rain, breeze that was so untrue,
My heart out with loud and big screams,
Do keep your love, between me and you.

Dil Chahtai Hai

Learnings…. From Dil Chahta Hai

You cannot find another grand movie,
I just don’t mind if you find another one,
But, these are my versions and stories,
Doesn’t really matter if you really care,

Words you can say, lines you can write,
Recollect today when you got to a fight,
But, if you stand away and spend time,
Just forget this poem and some rhyme,

You see Sid, Sameer and Akash around,
All those who played in college ground,
All of us now busy with everyday work,
Most of the fun, forgotten for one perk,

Sid, you are and you have all that talent,
Why feel shy to love some older woman,
Is it so wrong to be a good , nice gallant ?
Ya’ can still remain a good Mother’s son!

Sameer, you have that charm and spirit,
You love doing and explore all you want,
Of course you will be loved for your wit,
You can tell all that you do, to your aunt,

Akash, this is yet another funny man here,
He is that person you see, making all fun,
Who lives a splendid life that’s so premier,
Who will get normal like us, in the long run,

Shalini, sincere and loyal lady, I see you there,
Pooja, my pretty lady, you took so very long,
Girls like them are not hard to find, I swear,
Give your sincere love, they will come along,

Women rule, are there any second words ?
Did you notice that, hinted indirectly to us?
We have to get in line, my talented nerds,
That’s nature, now shed your go, don’t fuss,

Stronger ones are always shown as weaker,
Don’t ask why, its innate, we cannot help it,
Even if you are a god, or a pleasure seeker,
You have no choice, but gotta simply admit,

Moral of the story ? Ego, just throw it away,
Go back and find your friends, you cursed,
Don’t wait for tomorrow, do it now, today,
Give your original, not the one rehearsed,

Recollect that, there is not one happy ending,
But do your part, even if there’s no benefit,
Don’t kill your life, or leave anything pending,
It is never too late, so don’t soil and don’t sit,

You are Sameer, Sid and Akash, all through,
It is not something masculine, ladies, to you,
This isn’t gender specific, does apply to you,
Don’t lose in life, keep it between me and you.

A Rose is a Rose.. is a Rose..

She sat there in the lonely park chair,
I just couldn’t avoid looking at her,
So very pretty, playing with her hair,
As if in turmoil, as if now, in one stir,

Her cell phone ringing, loud enough,
She wouldn’t pick, but just stare at,
Should I mind my own personal stuff,
I did hear her sobs, from where I sat,

It was very disturbing and unbearable,
Should I walk up to her now, or sit here,
Did something happen, just so terrible,
What if she bursts out then, which I fear,

A neat red skirt and the top, so bright,
Expensive handbag and a gold watch,
That glistened in that starry dark night,
She might kick, me loaded on scotch,

Her pale lips wouldn’t let a word slip,
The phone still rings, she won’t pick,
Smoke almost nearing that filter tip,
Drop it lady, do it now, be very quick,

The blood ridden, dark red fingernails,
The pink cheek, that turned even red,
Her appearance, did give me details,
Did you guess it, from what was said?

I still don’t have the courage to talk,
Of course, am an alien here, for a perk,
I can’t even ask her out, for one walk,
I didn’t want her to think of me, a jerk,

The bible next to her, flipped the pages,
That surprised me, as I continued staring,
One book that survived all the dark ages,
Others looked at, what she was wearing,

He came over and slapped her too hard,
Twisted both her hands, she screamed,
I looked around, tried to find one guard,
I didn’t expect it, I hadn’t even dreamed,

She was now crying aloud, in despair,
Everyone watched them, not moving,
As if they were aware of such an affair,
Whatever this cruel big beast was doing,

The struggle and fight lasted sometime,
Things falling from her bag, well strewn,
Lip sticks, eye liners, pins and few dime,
Brightly shown on that good full moon,

A cop came in now, dragged him along,
She was pleading to leave him, and crying,
She was acting strange, what was wrong ?
The cop left the place, warning.., sighing,

She lifted him over, all blood on his nose,
She wiped all that, hugged him, to hold,
Can you alter the sweet nature of a rose?
Women are women, all from one mould!

I just sat there, wondering if it was worth,
Why would women be warm, I’ve no clue,
Was it programmed in them from the birth,
Only they can answer, to convince me and you.

I hate this HIKE !

Every year this comes and goes,
Whether you support or oppose,
Some complain that it is so bad,
This drives everyone really mad,

This is a regular topic all in April,
Some in harmony, but most yell,
They say, it’s just nothing to take,
No mercy for us, for Christ’s sake,

The walk and talk is about a rise,
People curse loud up to the skies,
Some blame god, some, so quiet,
So think about balancing the diet,

But, the media blows it so much,
They lose it, that common touch,
April, this is the talk of the town,
He feels like being one big clown,

Is it just me or everyone feels so,
It’s at times high, or just very low,
It really does decide all weddings,
It even decides, all your beddings,

Once it’s announced, you’re crazy,
You decide why work, I’ll act lazy,
You think then, is it really just me,
Or is this with all, in Bangalore city,

Is it okay to ask her, how she felt,
He hissed to kick, below the belt,
Oops, now that’s so wild, I get it,
I won’t go now, he says, I will quit,

I tried hard to explain him, well,
He said he feels like being in hell,
I said, it happens, Dude, for us all,
He felt so sick in his intestine wall,

Well, that’s what he said, for real,
I told him stop being just, unreal,
But, you’ll forget it over the time,
It’s all easy to say using this rhyme,

Huh ? There is some confusion here,
Well, let me make it just very clear,
I was lamenting all this while only on,
The SUMMER that has come upon,

Even his girl friend says stay away,
Let’s see if events vary, after May,
Felt so bad for him, I really mean it,
I promised to quote this, in NameIT!

Steep fall and hike in mercury scale,
Was all I was addressing, in my tale,
I don’t think I was hinting anything,
I am praying for good, for a SPRING!

Isn’t it APRIL, when summer begins,
It sweats for, even the Gemini twins,
I did not talk about anything so blue,
I gave no clue, between me and you !

In Times of Failure....

The one time you start chasing your dream,
Self-respect which you consider supreme,
You realize it is hard to live the right way,
Fight for what is right and good, everyday,

Truth, what the ones above you, fails to see,
Struggle to keep calm to a tolerable degree,
But, being weak you really tend to burst out,
With practically very less knowledge about,

What is reality and what will keep you long,
It is not just a big poem, some inspiring song,
You’ve to swim your way through the gutter,
To earn for yourself, some bread and butter,

Is it so hard, my dear friend, to be honest,
This is just another painful, a stressful test,
But, you cannot live it, the way they want,
Even if fear surrounds, don’t let them haunt,

Tell yourself, all is well; all is just too well,
Keep your head above, in heaven or in hell,
Don’t let yourself down today, deep inside,
Even if you were disregarded or cast aside,

You are what you are, and you are that one,
Never ever give up, in your miles’ long run,
The only thing should you ever get to chase,
No one will help; you have to run your race,

This is not one relay race to pass the baton,
It is your HOPE you are holding, so hop on,
Grip that harder, every single step you take,
Don’t loosen it or let it go, even by mistake,

Do not change your own self, for anything,
Future, your opponent, in that wrestling ring,
Audience all around you, wooing and booing,
There is just one chance, there is no redoing,

Live your life right, this very moment today,
Because this is your very own game, go play,
When you have run all those miles, look back,
Everything that’s history, leaves a bad track,

Past is one vanishing step, you leave behind,
Choose every step ahead , that you can find,
Be the right one, you need not repent later,
Don’t sit and cry, for being your own traitor,

Everything I told you, is just for me my dear ?
Pass it on to everyone who are far and near,
Why am I saying this ? I know you’ve no clue,
I wish, I were smarter, between me and you,

Me..

What will I tell you,
When I don’t have a clue,
But, I can try that out,
Leave no place for doubt,

The darker side is me,
Its so not difficult to be,
Still balancing the sanity,
With abundance vanity,

There is one road I know,
To none I really bow,
Another egoistic leo here,
Closed spaces I do fear,

But, there is one thing,
Flowers, smile I can bring,
Loser in first impression,
Not all here, my confession,

Can make your head spin,
Betrayal, to me, a big sin,
Well, I sure must tell you,
You will like me, my love,
just between me and you.

Good Morning., Bangalore

Hello all, a very good morning,
Am sitting here, quietly yawning,
I can see you, agreeing on that,
Even if I say now, the world’s flat,

Welcome this week, with all smiles,
Start arranging your desktop files,
Time to get busy, do some work,
Give no time, for even one smirk,

I know it’s hard, these Mondays,
But no one wants, if it’s all Sundays,
Change is permanent, my dear,
Work is god, so just don’t fear,

They say this one line, just clear,
Every challenge, far and near,
Is some opportunity in disguise,
So do smart work, be really nice,

Just trying to keep your spirits up,
Grab CCDs black coffee, in one cup,
Every day has to be one big mystery,
There is no point, talking of history,

What is said and done, is all done,
What you can do is, just have fun,
Laugh over all your blunders now,
Do it your way, just don’t ask how,

Every day that you see, is a mystery,
No one cares after 12th , about history,
Just doesn’t matter, if Emperor wins,
In no way, does it really wash our sins,

Don’t manifest your darkest fears,
Forget them over a couple of beers,
This is a world of winners and sinners,
Just go and have dates and dinners,

Be positive, stay calm and do your job,
Don’t be revolting and be another mob,
More things get done, out of silence,
Nothing is ever achieved with violence,

That doesn’t mean you practice lies,
I never said you should always be nice,
Play a game, when you know the rules,
This they don’t teach, in our schools,

You got to be smart, to go to the top,
Never, ever give up, never ever stop,
Patience, trust me, is truly is a virtue,
Again, I end this as, between me and you !
