PASSION...

Everywhere I search for you...
Your words..and your silence too...
This bruise so deep...so mean...
Hurts more and more...
Every time I breathe...
Come...Heal me...
Come...Feel me...
My fear...my wish...my fantasy...
My soul rests in agony...
I feel like I am deep inside the sea...
Salt burning my wounds...
No mercy...
Plunging me into deeper grief...
The water reminds me of life...
The darkness my decay...
Your touch is what I crave for...
Come...Take me away.....

VANITY...

Black...Blue...Red...
All there..
Purples...and Greens...
Add to the assets...
A closet of 365 dresses...perhaps more...
Lets move a little towards the door...
There comes a box...
Full of weird things...
I don't really understand...
Where it all fits...
A stick...
Long and colorful...
And another..and Another...
Then come the paint brushes...
All sizes...and colors...
Bottles of various shapes...
All labeled with exotic names...
A thousand things here and there...
When everything is correctly placed...
A hundred faces turn and sway...
A life...so colorful...certainly...
But One Day..when it all breaks...
I think I do not need words to potray...!

Paa!

Today...
I remember those times....
When my wishes were granted as soon as I spelt them...
I remember those shopkeepers who asked me to pick anything..
They knew 'Papa paise denge' (My Father would pay)..:D
I remember struggling to keep my cycle straight..
And Him running behind me all the way..
I remember getting those badminton strokes right..
After hours of tiring Him out..
I remember those hours of night..
Spent entertaining me..just for a smile..
I remember the thousand captured memories..
Me being the 'mega-model'..!
I remember the fights I always ended up winning...
I remember returning home..angry..and irritated..
And the aroma that awaited...
I remember the tears He wiped away..
I remember all the laughter..
All those jokes..
Invented only for us...!
The endless laugh..in the middle of the night..
Infinite support..Infinite Love..
And...Infinite Smiles!


Love You Paa...! :)

A..B..C..D

I saw her running across crowded roads and the busy town...
With a hope so high.. and the shine in her eyes..
Confident.. that the world will guide!
She skips..she hops..she jumps..she shifts!
And in the end a hand she lifts..

The light turns Green..
And the cars pass by..
Each owner..
only just saw the sight..

Hope still alive..
And the next Red light..
And again..she laughs..
The same old style..


A childhood so harsh..
A world too wide..
Yet she only..
Remains a small little scar..
To the world's eyes!


People reach out..
No one..but..manages to touch her hand..
The only thing they can part with..
Is a piece of their land..


She needs..
Not a hand...
But..a part of their lives..
And the busy world has..for her..
Only a sad smile..


The Days pass by...
The Weeks pass by..
She only dances to the tune..
Of the honking vehicles nearby..


I wish..i could..
Make a difference..Bring a change..
But..like all others..
I only pass the blame..
Tell me one soul..
Who can hug her tight..
I know..
I am a part of the crowd..
Which says..It cares..
Only when there is some boredom lingering by....

THE WOMAN

"Bhaiyya! Metro Station jaoge?"
"Haan Madam, baitho baitho!"
"Aao Aao! 12-22! Gol Chakkar! Gol Chakkar! Gol Chakkarr-r!"
"Baitho Bhaisahab! Aap aage a jao! Madam..aap peeche baitho!"
"Jaldi! Jaldi!"

"Aage peeche ho jao! Baitho..jaldi!"
"Kaha baithaega bhaiyya? Jagah kaha hai?"
"Arre bhai! ek pe chaar chaar baith-te hain!"
"Ladiez hain..kitna aage peeche karvaega?"
"Arre bhaisaab..rozi roti hai..din mein kitna kamate hain..usme ye sab kaise dekhenge!?"
"Tu chal..main tujhe do sawari ke paise deta hun! Chal Chal!"

"Toh bas..apni zarurat hai..toh..kuch nahi kar sakte.."
Burrrrrrrrr...Budddddrrrrrrrrrr.....rrrrrrrrr...!
The WOMAN...subdued!
She has the power to bear...
But..remember..she can rise! Rise...to extremely dangerous levels!
It's sad to see the plight of women all around..
Where we live..is Heaven!
We hardly get to know..what happens outside our shell..
We have so many people..who guide us..take care of us..at every step..
But..there lies..a world beyond!
A world where..a woman..has to struggle everyday..to reach home safe and sound!
There are women who kill their ambitions for the fear of having to bear the consequences!
There are women..who..inspite of all the odd things that happen to them in crowded buses, trains, shared autos, metros..stay silent..and move on!
There are woman..who are not even allowed to go out..because of the 'brutal' forces that are waiting to attack them..if they see light!AND..there are women..who FIGHT back!
Those..who tell men..they can stand brave and dignified and confident!
!Be the latter! Stand up for yourself!
Even if the world does not!
And..to all the men for whom..'Respect' does not exist in the dictionary!
A woman is the one who makes you complete!
A woman can step ahead of you..trip you over!
And if she does that! You will have to go into hiding!
She is the one..who is emotionally strong..physically calm..and mentally focused!
Don't disturb the calmness! Or else, you will have to pay!
Respect Her!
PS : Stop killing the girl child, Start allowing her to FIGHT!
