HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It is a long time now, since I know you..
Those long walks, and the metro talks..
The fighting, the dancing..
The water tap, and the Coocoomber(Cucumber) fat..
Dint even realize, when it all turned to Cappuccino and Pastry..
The music that connects, makes me nostalgic..
Those long hours, and the smiles..
Over and over again..
Millions of surprises..
All one sided;
(I pause and smile)

Months more than twelve..
Moments! Over a million..
I look back and see,
I left them somewhere..
I will go back and collect..
All the broken pieces..

Happy Birthday!

To you.. who understands every bit of me..
To you.. who knows before me what is right and what is wrong..
To you.. who knows everything exactly right..
To you.. who can forgive each mistake of mine..

Happy Birthday! :)

*From the eyes of a motor vehicle*

I see them coming towards me.
And i can hear them giggle with glee.
She sits in a corner. Quiet and calm.
They who are cruel cast their power.
Laughing. Cursing. Over excited.
They find her a reason to laugh.
Her mistake, I am still searching.
Is it because she is different,
Or is it because she has her way?
Is it her way of talking,
Or her way of walking?
Is it her dress,
Or her tress?
Is it her shoe,
Or is it the sock?
I find nothing wrong.
I stay still. Heating up.
I wait for my owner.
He comes. A button is pushed.
Thankfully i get to disappear.
I pity those who make her cry.
I pity those who have blank minds.
They can't see. Neither can they think.
I wish 'things' here were more real.
Did i just say 'things'? Well yes, I did.

ANGER! A random thought.

Anger makes people go mad.

A moment of anger and the mind goes blank.

One word, you cross the line;

When you go to the other side, everything falls apart.

Everyday, every second becomes difficult.

Words fall short, eyes expressionless.

Nothing can reverse, nothing can subdue.

You need to live with that, and continue!

BANGALORE

Dedicated to..Parul, Taneja, P2, Neha, n everyone else here in Bangalore.

The cold breeze brushing past excited faces..

Sun hidden behind the clouds..

Bumpy rides and tiring fights..

An unknown journey starts..

New faces..New Fonts..

New Experiences..New Taunts..

Life beckons them to prove..

Forever..On..and On..

People breaking down..

Lose patience..lose calm..

Some with sorrow down in their heart..

Proving they can win over all..

Trying to convince auto-wallas..

Communicating with the conductor..

Asking for directions..

Missing stops..

Walking all around..

Struggle begins here..

The race starts..

Away from home..

Away..from the near..and dear..

They still go on..

With smiles..and random frowns..

Supporting and Contradicting each other..

I salute them all..

-------------------------------------------------------------

Feels lucky to have a support system here..

Home away from home..

The tired faces scared me..

Would I ever be able to do what they did all alone?

-------------------------------------------------------------

Thankyou! :) @Peripa, Perima, Patima, Sadhana, Harish, Ramesh Mama,

Latha Mami, Archana, Abhishek, Dilip Anna, Kirti Bhabhi, Riyaa, Shankar Mama.

Miss you Amma..Appa..Priya..

LIFE IS LIKE THAT...

And then..everything changes..
There are Frowns, Tears, Smiles and then..there is.. Love..
There are Harsh Words.. Sweet Fantasies..
There are Weak Smiles..
There is Laughter..
There are a Thousand Words..
There are a Hundred Questions..
And No Answers..
There are Ways..
But No Path to Lead To Them..
There Is A Hand To Lead..
There Is A Hand to hold..
There are efforts to turn frowns to smiles..
There is hesitation..
There is gloominess..
There are cheerful days..
There are sad mornings..
There are happy evenings..
There are thoughts..
Deep..
Dark..
Good..
Bad..
And then.. There is Silence...
--------------------------------------------------
But..you know..
Everything is Yours..
Everything is Truly Yours..
The hand that leads you..
All the while..
Will always be there..
And the hand you hold..
Believes in You..
--------------------------------------------------
When Life is going to take a turn...
And 'four' years flash past..
When You Look Back..
And Feel Proud..
And You look again..
And a tear escapes the eye..
When there will be no faces to tell you..
Everything Will Be Fine..
When All You Know..
Is You Will Miss Everything...
All You Can Do..
Is..
Smile..
And Say..
Life Is Like That! :)
--------------------------------------------------

LUCK

I walk head high..
Into the room where there is all light..
With plans and strategies..
And a will to 'lose'..
And then..strikes..
LUCK..
minus the good..
Some sin..
Some sign..
Some ugly chime..
That is when..realization strikes..
A single tear..takes away..
A thousand smiles..
The head now hung low..
And.. An agitated mind..

To.. My Kite Runner..Manal..:)

"For you.., a thousand times over."
I remember those times, when your hair style was very popular, for being untidy,
atleast in the A and C sections. :P
Back then, you were only a batch-mate who took the same bus as me.
Then, we took the same 'Science' stream, and we became what we called 'Friends' and what other jealous people called 'you-know-what'! :D
And then, we took the streets of Mayur Vihar too seriously.
All those childish Aakash and BT incidences,
A really intersting 2007 with many new developments in both our lives,
Laughing away to glory,
Talking continuously,
Complicated Connections,
Studies,
Unlimited Fun,
All come rushing back to me today.
The streets of 'Mayur Vihar' will miss you..
The 'Chowmein' of 'Aggarwal Sweets' will miss you..
The 'Juice-Wallah' of 'DPS complex' will miss you..
The 'Uncle Chips' will miss you..
The 'Cola Candy' of 'Mother Dairy' will miss you..
The 'Momos' you neve liked will miss you..
'Eat Out' will miss you..
All the three 'Earring-Wallahs' will miss you..
'Popli-Recharge' will miss you..
'Chocolate Cafe' will miss you..
'Samachar Complex' will miss you..
'Mayur Vihar Phase I Metro Station' will miss you..
I...will MISS YOU..!
