FREEWAY!!

HEY!! HEY!! HEY!!

So, we meet again!!
All the silent vows of never looking back,
left far behind,
to make room for a long forgotten hope..
that will destroy, both YOU and ME.

It was eventually written on the stars,
that all the freeways we walked upon,
will lead us back, to where it all begin..

And the mutual need for each others ill desired company,
will bind us together,
and do us in.....

AAMEN!!

the rear view..



I remember,
failing in the History exam in VI,
I wept till my eyes turned pink...
was new in the school, teacher gave an ugly look,
said..another looser comes here..
Don't wanted to face Dad..
felt like running away somewhere..

I remember,
the Finals with APS,L in XI,
last wicket,eight runs per over..
A freaky bowler and an aching head,
but the game depends on me the coach said...
The very second ball, I saw my bails go in the air,
disappointed,deserted, disintegrated everything i was,
wanted the pitch to sink and fossilize me than and there..

I remember,
my breakup in the III yr,
I ran and ran to catch up the time,
hoping like always some,how i 'll make things fine.
nothing got sorted, time dint stop
saw my pyramid of hope, crumbling from the top..
Realising not all life's best things stay forever...

I remember Roomil leaving us forever, last year,
I didn't cry, not even a single tear,
Stood dere and watched my bestest buddy go up in flames..
Just felt like looking up and asking god..
why was I the chosen one always here..

As I sit here and remember.
a billion such craps that i have survived..
fell ,rose and fell again,
but never gave up int the game called life..

I might not have still figured ,
how winning is done..
but some how along the course of life I have learned,
the way living is done..

though the elementary lesson of cricket still hold on,
life is one bouncy track..
the ball will not always come on to your bat..
stay on the pitch,keep moving your feet..
Someday,you will learn to live that bouncy pitch..

Life@rear mirror...


I took my soul and left
my world in a rear mirror

I tried to run and I did try
but the light came by and by
and your face would reappear..

then i thought maybe these clouds will someday clear,
and with me my beliefs will adhere
but you left when u decided to
we became unstuck when u wanted to
Was fate ever in my hands???

Ever gave it a thought,
when we both become a memory
will I finally be me?

Driving looking at my face
I promised myself,i will never give up my pace..

'coz its you that made me see
the garden past that big old tree.
I still owe you that..

Maybe i should thank the mighty believer,
for building the rear mirrors
the light still shining in
you left...and now I begin...:)

नियति..




उड़ान ,
विचारों की मेरे,
हैं ऊची.....बहुत ऊंची...
आकाश जितनी॥

पर अक्सर ..
उड़कर
ऊचा,
गिरता हूँ नीचे..बहुत नीचे॥
की पहुँच जाता हूँ कही पाताल की गहराइओ में,
और फ़िर पड़े-पड़े वही,
औंधे मुह... सोचता हु,
की थी जब नियति गिरने की...
तो की ही क्यूँ कोशिश उड़ने की॥
कोसता हूँ,
कभी
ख़ुद को... कभी फलक को।

और फ़िर सोचते सोचते ,बदलता हूँ करवट...
फ़िर दीखता है वही धुला आसमान...
और फ़िर दोबारा शुरू हो जाती है... एक नई उड़ान :)...

इसी प्रकार बार-बार दोहराती है "नियति", मेरा इतिहास ॥

Ambition...

I longed for the twinkling stars,
To be within my easy reach….

Trapped in the oceanic whirl,
Thought for being at the beach…

Without caring for broken legs,
Tried to conquer the highest peak…

Wanted to see the hydrosphere,
As a mighty drop inside ostrich beak…

Thought for walking barefoot over the mighty sun’s surface,
And to see from there every planet, like a perpetual blossom around thy face….

You need light,
I am a fading lamp…

You like attics,
I am a camp…

You like calm & peace,
I am a champ…

You desire soft and tender,
I am hemp…

It's October again!!


It's October again

Leaves are falling down like rain

One more year's come and gone

But nothing's changed

Wasn't I supposed to be someone

Who could face the

things that I've been

running from?


Let me feel

I don't care if I break down

Let me fall

Even if I hit the ground

If I cry a little

And die a little

At least I know I lived

Just a little

Let me feel

Let me fall


I become much too good at

being invincible

I'm an expert at 'play

it safe' and 'keep it cool'

But I swear this is not

who I'm meant to be

I refuse to let my

life fall over me


Let me feel

I don't care if I break down

Let me fall

Even if I hit the ground

If I cry a little

And die a little

At least I know I lived

Just a little

Let me feel

Let me fall


Yes, I'm gonna be someone

Ya! gonna be someone

If I take it as it comes

If I face the things

that I've been running from

I've been running from


Let me feel

I don't care if I break down

Let me fall

Even if I hit the ground

If I cry a little

And die a little

At least I know I lived

Just a little


Let me feel

Let me fall


It's October again

The leaves are falling

down like rain Oh...
