Kaash - If Only

The sun was bright in the clear blue sky
The breeze was mild and sweet
The twinkle in her eyes, the smile on her lips
Weehoooo !….my heart skyrocketed and skipped some beats
Her face is glowing and everything else is bleak
Mildly, I am loosing the focus and she is moving away
There’s so much to express but I did not say
And now I look back to my lost love… I only regret
Kaash – I had told her
Coz no matter how many you will have, First Love is never to forget


The dreadful night and the buzzing ambulance
My sight is fuzzy, could not control the tears
He held my hand and spoke in the trembling tone
“Son, You have been good and I want you to stay the same.
Take care of your mother, When I am gone “
That’s when I realized , there’s nothing worse than helplessness
I know, some things in life we can never control
Kaash – I had told him
That I owe not only my life to him, but also my soul


The music is growing with every moment, it’s farewell time
Laughter, dancing and the shouts, we are on cloud 9
Some went to business and some to the job
College used to be our world someday, now it’s the globe
From India to US of A , among the continents, we are scattered
“Hi” and “Wass Up?” is now what we came down to
“FB” and “Orkut” took the important places in our lives, things that mattered
Missing the “Sunday’s cricket”, “straying around the girl’s house” and “group discussions ”
Kaash – I had told them
Dudes! No matter where we are, we are Friends forever. No confusion


Crux :
Express - When you can coz Life won’t give you a second chance .
C’est la vie.

August of 47!!!

When the earth cried and the sky blazed
Anger engulfed the nights and days
Villages are deserted and streets are bloody red
Not just the body, the souls are dead
Shallow mourning of the helpless infants
Crying over parents’ corpse, curbed by the religious chants
Bleak is the difference between a brute and a human
So is my country, looking at August of 47.

Humanity is going through this ruthless test
As we walk past the time, when all Indians were abreast
Fighting for a unified cause, the freedom of the nation
Enemy is not outside but lies within, mere self realization

“But what about the kins that we have lost ?
Only blood can satisfy the thirst of blood”
That’s where the rationality must sneak in
And we must put our reason ahead of our action
“But what to rationalize, when your loved ones are gone ?
When revenge rides the mind, it claims life of someone”

Then I realized , It is way beyond the specter of religion
It is merely the humane traits of anger, revenge and satisfaction
History is going to bear the deep wounds of this mayhem
It is not over and won’t be over for the generations to come

But, “Who started what” is petty against “When is it going to end?”
That is how, my country needs to wake up, in the August of 47.

If we can’t live without our history,
Then we need not live IN it either
Peace and humanity among the people and across the borders
That is how we can overcome the August of 47.

Peace.

The Day Has Come

O My Friend!

The day has come
When rationality is an unknown virtue
When the knowledge is experienced, just by few
When truth is lost in the shadows of lies
And the prejudiced-captive self, cries
Reasons no longer possess the conviction
Morals are vanishing, the nihilistic attrition
When the bleak light of hope is slowly diminishing
Fears and distress, is what we can see

So, I say, My Friend!

That the day has come
When, to save humanity, we must unite
To claim our SELF, exploit the will and might
Hold onto the light of hope, we must see
Beyond our fears and disparity, beyond just “ME”
To make it happen, we must be the change
In pursuit of truth, must surmount the pain
When we seek life, beyond the barriers of our prejudice
Then only living, My Friend, is worth it !!!

Peace.

P.S. – If you are not able to get the jest of writer’s thought, then no problem. All you need to do, to get this one is – Read something that is partly spiritual, partly philosophical, partly psychological and humanly. And spend some time to see the chaos around you blended with introspection.

Who Am I ?

Message: The writer does not intend to shake anybody’s beliefs and opinions. The sole reason for the creation of this piece is the human ability to think/reason and the mysteries surrounding the existence of GOD assumingly Generating/Observing/Destroying our lives. The writer just wants you to reason your outlook and search for the answer on your own.

Who am I ?

Talks and logics are of no help
What I need to explore …is my inner self
The Architect…The Demolisher of my life..is just me
The Regulator…The Caretaker…he cannot be
Arguments are created and it’s mere perceptions
Theism and agnosticism are only conceptions
It’s not the vanity, neither boasting the self
Belief in the deity is just a way to help
Help…For miseries….Somebody to address the blame
Help…For relief….Something to cut down the pain
Everything can be checked….Sin and Virtue
How it depends on the Almighty ?…Aintt got a clue
The Good and the Bad are nothing but internal facts
Why does he wait for reincarnation ?..To punish for the errant acts
Karma is required…to exercise control and tame the MAN
Animals needs to be disciplined.. even in human clan
Mind holds the key to heaven and hell
Religion is just a product…anybody can sell
There’s nothing beyond life..nothing was there
Just a VOID ….no painful tortures…no fancy fares
There’s no destination…just a road to tread
It’s simple…either you are alive or you are dead
Scriptures are mythological….Proven by the history
Hitler was reality, but The Almighty…..well still is a mystery

We created GOD or GOD created we
Matter of belief….Thou believe in him…I believe in Thee
It’s not about showing the path and offering the light
It’s just a plain question to yourself …. “WHO AM !?”

Peace

My Love!!!

My Love…

When I was 6
Had a crush on my Miss
The way… she spoke and she moved
Made me happy, got me drooled
I realized it was, just one sweet dream
When…In her marriage, I had my ice –cream

When I was 12
It came about again
Characters changed but crux was the same
I knew she is the one and it’s only her
When she talked to me and asked for an eraser
But good times seldom stay my friend…..
I realized when I had her “Rakhi” on my hand.

When I turned 18
Was high on adrenaline..hunting for my queen
And she appeared like an angel from the sky
Did a full profile check …for her Boyfriend and Bhai
She was in my practicals and we shared the bus seat even
Thought finally it’s the time and world became heaven
But that’s only how the fairy tale ends
She broke it on 14th…with…”We Are Just Friends”

Now, as I am 24
I realize everything… can’t ask for more
My love…I looked out for...did not like me
My love...Someone had for me….did not strike me
And like all failed lovers, only gyan I can give –
Times change and so do our life
Save for your potential kids and wait for your wife

Hakuna Matata

Change!!!

Change
When I was a kid, I wanted to be someone
Color the whole world and kill the criminals with a gun
Didn’t care about tomorrow, as today was the craze
But could not hold onto it, life was meant to change…

When I was young, there were many things to do
Riding on adrenaline, was living out of the blue
Revolutionizing the world around me, out on a goose chase
Was dumb enough to realize, life’s gonna change…

When I was a little older, it occurred to me
The purpose of living, the light of my sky was…She
Love bloomed in heart and soul…was one crazy blaze
When the marriage bell rang, I realized… time is bound to change…

When I had a kid, the feeling was over the top
It was tough, but I skipped the bars...to visit toys’ shop
Parenting was not easy, failure fright was one big faze
I saw him grow….and then… I saw him change…

When I grew old, I contemplated my life
The fallacies of fate and my struggle to survive
Looking down from the exit, it was one hell of a maze
It was just me…by my side, solely living the change…

Now, as I am going to die……
It’s time to leave… to say goodbye
Life was nothing but a see-saw
Knocking me down and taking me high
Getting a smile and making me cry
When people grew tough and things went strange
The only thing impervious… was THE CHANGE…

Amen.

Cocaine…

The flickering lights and the shabby room
The spinning head coz the music grooves
Things are getting slower or am I moving fast
Why don’t the earth cracks?…when I can hear the blast
Lazing there, I saw..I felt…. what I have never imagined
Trying to hold my senses, slowly moving through the transition
Was it the devil himself or something moved beside me
Blood rush… like volcano erupted inside me
Wooziness is fun and I could feel the trance
Where’s the damn roof ?...Am I talking to stars?
It was just a dash…. but I think the coke hit me
She murmured something…ahh!! that pretty face……why don’t she shut it
My hands are numb and my fingers are getting cold
I laughed for the past and the surprises future beholds
I cried for the love I missed and those I messed up
My heart hobbled…Damn you!!… how many times you wanna break up?
Thirst is dancing on my lips since the start of the night
I want to punch the wall…..hey you!!…..let’s have a fight!!
I sank into the deep dark waters and struggled for a gasp
It somehow broke the shackles and am out of the trap
Somebody turned up the volume and Cobain shouted
Orange, yellow with a little red is what I could make out
I forgave the snakes and forgot the stings
I loved the euphoria…. That I was in
I thought life to be crap and people to be profane
I forgave them all……coz I found my cocaine.

Peace
