No matter how big is the setback. No matter how badly you are hurt. No matter what people say. No matter how bad you are feeling. You've got to pick yourself up against all odds. Yes ! this is life. Sorry ? You ask me how...? Well ! the answer is ...to Dream And Yearn !!! Cause it is that 1 hope which keeps your soul ticking, that someday Dreams shall be a Reality ! Amen !

I’m born free but living chained.

My wounds are fresh & clothes stained.

Here’s another of my whims of an idle hour.

Albeit nothing’s lost or gained,

Life to me seems two-laned.

Only my side is sans sunshine

And drenched in rain.

I’m wet and cold,

I have no options is what I’m told.

They say I don’t have a voice.

I deny, find reprieve

In a Hobson’s choice

To dream & yearn

So my dreams be reality

Not reality be nightmares.

It was a routine affair by now. Mid sem exams of the 2nd semester were on and I for some reason wasn't prepared well for my Law exam too. I wasn't keen on trying to copy and  besides the strict invigilator too seemed to be paying special attention to me for some reason. As a result I was sitting idle and went into thinking mode. So, out came the following lines at that time...

Set me free of this elusive logic,

What might work is a few good wishes

Or even some black magic.

Yet again I’m sitting idle,

The paper seems like a call from a rival,

I hang up, move on,

Fantasize about my future.

How’s it gonna be like?

Does it echo success?

Or just like my present,

Even that’s in a mess!!!

Perplexed I close my eyes,

Resolving, to stand by truth always,

And never by lies!!!

It so happens in life at times, that you keep wishing for things a certain way, but you don't really act that way. As a result, time passes by and the choices you once had are no longer there. Hindsight invariably makes you feel if only you'd taken different decisions in life.

Many a times

It just so happened

When I wished to say

But my eyes did the talking.

It just so happened

When I wished to stay

But my feet did the walking

It just so happened

When I wished, for her to be around

But fate (seldom by my side) with other plans, came by knocking.

Only when you left did I realize,

Had I done what I had wished.

There would be no regrets, sulking or longing.

MiSsInG YoU ! (15th OcToBeR 2008)

Everyone has had times in their lives when they miss someone really bad. More so, when you yourself are the cause for the other person drifting far away from you.
It gets to you so much that you are willing to make any sacrifice or even beg for forgiveness in hope of a reconciliation. The following lines echo the same sentiment.

Missing you ain’t  so good

Wakes up thoughts in my mind.

Listen to me, don’t be rude.

Let me own up,

I’m sure as hell guilty

For everything I screwed.

I still remember,

When saw you 1st time

My heart said dude!!!!!!

You came into my life

Like a lovely breeze!

You brought my life to ease.

Then I broke your trust,

You left without a token.

I swear to God My heart was broken

I beg of you - let me explain

And when I’m done,

Please forgive me...So, there be no pain!

Some people come into our lives for a short while and their real purpose is to heal and get moving the wheel of our life that inadvertently gets stuck somewhere. As soon as we move ahead, they are gone and no matter how badly you wish, they won’t stay any longer. Initially their moving away makes you weaker than you were before you met them.

       You realize that it was meant to be so only when you have overcome emotionally from the situation and are at peace with yourself. Looking back then, it all seems to make sense perfectly and that's when you find the inner strength to get over it.

I felt I belong,

When you offered

Your shoulder to cry.

I felt on song,

When you said you believe,

You told me to try.

It didn't take long,

When with you,

All my troubles seemed to fly!!!

You knew I was wrong,

Still stood by me

Showed me who am I.

I grew up, became strong.

You left me alone, without saying Goodbye,

In a flash my life was dry.

All they say is destiny

I refute and say Why

Kept looking for answers

Got none and out came the Cry

Release me of my misery,

Let me sleep,

Let me die!!!

ChEeR Up GaL ! - It's YoUr BiRtHdAy :) (14th SePtEmBeR 2008 –11:45pm)

Strangely enough it'd slipped out of my mind that It's my dearest friend's(The Pretty Lass) birthday and I wished her pretty late in the afternoon. Then to make up for it and to let her know what she means to me, I messaged this poem to her around 11:45pm before the date changed(Earned brownie points just in time). She was going through a rough patch though, so wrote some encouraging lines for her.

P.S. - The Phone no. given in the last line is my old no. so don't bother calling ;-)

Shed your tears, once and for all.

Look at the spring, leave behind the fall.

Don’t curse yourself, don’t throw against the wall.

You are meant for bigger things, don’t feel small.

Face the troubles, standing tall.

Forget everything, just have a ball.

You are special to me, echoes this eternal call.

So, please cheer up – My sweet little Barbie doll!

And if u need me, feel free to call-9888476304!!!

WhAt Is SuCcEsS (28th AuGuSt 2008 –12:45 pm)

I wrote this during last IT evaluation worth 15 marks – no wonder I scored only 2.5.
There were so many things in the subject which I thought were absolutely inconsequential to my life. These lines came out of feeling why does everyone keep running after the same things in life...In the quest for certain things in life we end up losing ourselves at times !

Success isn’t money in excess.

Then what are we fighting for ?

What are we vying for ?

Is this rat race really worth its salt ?

Only if I could, for moments few,

Bring life to a halt.

Only if I could, set things right.

Only if I could, start afresh,

I’d surely change,

The way the world views,

Each one of me s and you s.

I’d erase all benchmarks of life,

Be it a plump job or a lovely wife!!!

The rational me has taken a back seat.

My life is sans any rhythm.

I feel like a zombie and my heart doesn't anymore beat!
