My Undisclosed World Of Thoughts

There was India and then there were dire straits, And along came this lad Riding on the stroke of genius did he play, he drove the bowlers mad He willowed all he saw, Cut his bat through the breeze Relentless as he was always, he always ruled the crease His team mates called him Jammy, the world called him the wall Not a word could anyone have against him, He still stands mighty tall He walked the team to victory in countless number of games Dependable was his synonym, such was his fame A great ambassador, infinitely humble and dignified For a lot of people who've seen him bat, he was patience personified One man who moved the masses with his style Witty as he always was, he answered criticism back with a smile Playing in the shadows of legendary contemporaries as he did but still standing out Was one of those reasons why you could praise him aloud He still hasn't got his due from India cricket, deserves a world more He was the one who held the team together on...

"Never miss a good fight", I had read. Catch hold of a coke, pop corn and sit there comfortably enjoying the tussle. In fact there was this ad on TV that showed two policemen who enjoyed watching two people on the road fighting it out over a car accident and the senior policemen standing there and instructing his junior to just let it be while sipping a coke like he was at peace with the world. So yeah, coming back to reality, this was just one of those days when I was late for my CAT class( FYI I'm always late due to some reason). CAT class was merely 4 odd kms away from home, a matter of about 10-15 minutes but the traffic just seems to bloody multiply when you're late and it did just that on that day. So I got into this bus numbered 49M which would get me at least till clock tower and leave me to walk another half km. The bus looked relatively full and I had no time to think of another one so in I went without another thought. Now, this happens to me every...

Looking outside the window, I saw two tracks that seemed to go on forever They looked at one another with distant familiarity Yet that feeling of uncanny knowingness struck their hearts They went on and on parallel to one another Staring at each other day and night A growing sense of knowing each other beckoned them close And they knew eventually, that all would be right Going on playfully with childlike frivolty They arched, they bent, they fell, they rose Yet they knew in their lonely hearts That their story would make a lovely prose They woke up one morning realizing they had diverged Looking far across the horizon but to no avail They had been separated, caught unaware And it was just sadness that prevailed Hope is what kept them going That one fine day they would reunite That one day they would meet and rejoice And all would still eventually be right. They looked everyday at the setting sun with hope depreciating At not being next to one another once...

I wish those smiles would last, I wish those joys would stay In the midst of a misty ocean, 
 Lies the frail spirit of dismay 

 Memoirs of a thankless life, Sets this wandering soul ablaze 
 Waiting for the sun to rise, 
 Hope lures the sense of redemption 

 Life seems to unfurl in this really funny manner, 
 Like a new chapter was written every page 
 To mock at our sense of judgment at each step, 
 And lead us to a whole new way   

 Striving for that one little thing from life, we all live, 
 something that someone else would easily acquire 

 And life smirks at us and takes that away, 
 Leaving us in this pain inducing solitude 

 Wisdom is all that pain gives but leaves a scar behind, 
 One that reminds us of how we were irreversibly ruffled 

 It's a blessing in disguise that these scars are invisible, 
 Because if they were visible, we'd all be so ugly! 

 Peace

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...

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

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...
