LOSE MYSELF TONIGHT

Image
This one's dedicated to one of the pictures of my friend Alok Jaiswal which prompted me to come up with a caption and the nothingness of the night and this worldly contemplations together reslulted in this poem! I do not wish to sleep tonight, for the stars outside shine so bright! Seeing the horizon light up the sky, with hazy dragons and little fireflies The heart plunges into deep thought Of this heart and those little battles it fought Times have gone when this heart felt sane The days of dancing in those lashing rains That warm smile at the descending of laughter Those little burst of joys my words were after Thinking about oblivion, bounded within rage Mind lost in wanderings, bloodshot eyes and this heart encaged In submission I've lost all my fears, my mind is running for the sky I stand in bliss rued by my ignorance, memories flash me by My life is a haven now, I see the lit horizon in sight Nothing matters anymore, wrong or right  Let me forget mys...

WHAT LIES AHEAD

Brows of a nightmare, lashes of sorrows, False promises of better tomorrows Signs of a devil dressed in a holy robe, Descends like an unchecked force unleashed The flashes of memories that pass you by, Remains as a reminiscence of the unalterable past. Deep within lies a latent retrospection That hardly surfaces to ever bother the mind The hidden cries in the voice, the depth of the tone Concealed with perfection with the laughter of a clown What amazes is the subtle change of senses Remnants of a feeling of impossibility That once plagued this anxious heart To the point from there was no return The strange feeling of not knowing yourself, Of being a stranger to the world you know so well A sense of being out of place Dampens all the remaining spirits Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Or another cloud of darkness waiting in despair? Moving forward is the rule of life, I simply walk on wondering what lies ahead! Peace

A FEW PRICELESS ENCOUNTERS

Image
Travelling has always been of great interest to me. It opens me up to the infinite hidden things that we miss and those many more people who change the way you percieve things! He asked me if I needed anything to eat.  "Saab vada pav, pav bhaji, misal pav, kuch khaog e?". I shook my head in disagreement and moved forward neglecting something that struck me right away. An impulse of acknowledgement, that something was out of place but I ignored it and moved forward to where I was headed. This was in Panchagani, where I had come on a family visit. We had gone to visit a place called 'table top', so called due to some god forsaken reason that I dint bother much about! So after the trivial encounter or so I thought, I moved forward to the ground which stretched to a circumference of 8km roughly and had a breathtaking view to say the least. We had come around dusk, so we watched the sun with awe and sat there soaking the diminishing radiance of the setting sun! Als...

TILL I FINALLY FADE AWAY

A very old poem. Had lost it and found it thanks to my friend Soujanya Mandadi who preserved it somehow.. :).. An honest effort at overcoming the inner darkness and shining in the basking glory that the almighty showers upon us. Have fun reading it :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - -  It was a drastic and catastrophic sight, The darkest of all nights. I thought I was going to die of fright, I believed this was the last time I would see the light. I was broken from within. Bitterly disappointed again, Why from my mistakes could I have never gained? I thought frantically and came with no reply, I willed to end it all in one final try. One jump from the top was all it would take, To end this infinitive misery for heaven's sake. I took the jump in submission, losing all alternatives in sight, The jump took all my remaining courage and might. I had given up to the life I once adored setting any disappointment apart, All the sweet memories of life f...

HE STANDS TALL

"Corruption has eaten into our country like a deadly virus". How many of us have actually uttered these words? How many of us have just concluded that nothing can actually happen of this country, that this corruption will one day be so common that nothing will seem different. How many of us have frowned upon the thought of the level of corruption in India? I'm one of those people who have thought on these lines and somehow concluded in my mind that nothing would happen unless people changed themselves. That nothing would happen unless we ourselves stop being a part of it. How easy is it to be a part of corruption and escape, like for example bribe the traffic policeman after violating a traffic rule and escape the headache of a court hearing. How easy is it to bribe a person at the transport office and get a licence or learner's licence in an instant. Corruption in a way has made our lives easier but at what cost? It is at the cost of disabling and crippling a cou...

PEANUT BUTTER DELIGHT

Peanut butter, a boon to mankind according to me. Tastes amazing when teamed up with a few other things. So well, I tried coming up with a few recipes of my own (copyright TM). I'm not a big foodie but I love to experiment with food and create weird combinations(some taste good, and let's not talk about the others :P). I love good food, I think everyone does! Experimenting with peanut butter has been an amazing experience simply because I never expected the product to taste anywhere close to good(worth eating would be apt perhaps) but somehow it always did(not that I'm a great cook, I'm decent though :P). So, here are 3 dishes I've shared with a few of my friends, Just thought more people deserved to know. There is no limitation as to how much of what to put so the recipe can retain the mark of your own originality.. So well, starting with the PBCNB sandwich(veg) To make this, take brown bread, toast it slightly, apply normal butter on one slice and peanu...

SOMEONE'S THERE

Lonely nights and dark clouds, Flimsy glass sparkled with rain drops, 
 Holding to yourself you lay alight, There is someone who thinks within. 

 The pain you feel is not yours alone, 
 The eyes aren't as expressive as they used to be, You lay submissive with a broken heart, 
 And someone breaks from inside into a thousand more pieces. The rain lashes the far fields, 
 The lightning frays its wrath aloud, 
 The broken pieces are now beginning to hurt, And someone dies from within along. 
 The mountains beyond speak of an evil wind, One that swept away its only love, The clouds have thus moved far beyond the horizon, And someone sheds ironical tears. 

 You lay afloat this heap of misery, 
 Brought upon by unfortunate misapprehensions, You try to battle your mind in conquest, 
 And someone battles for you. You wish the agony would for once subside, And lead to peace in mind and soul, 
 That the anxiety would just disappear, ...
