I had booked a table for us at ten,But the night was already magical when,I last asked her if I could see her again?She blushed, "I hope I see you more often." Dinner was thrill, her glee was pure,the best part of the night. I was sureI wanted to be with her all the more,I … Continue reading Love in Monsoons

Something Warm
I'm looking forward to feelingsomething warm, something quiet.Time's been rough on me, old buddy,I haven't got a smile in me just yet. Give me something that eases my mind, something that takes the voices out.Give me something smooth to forget what my day's been about. Let me dwell here for a moment longer,even though I … Continue reading Something Warm
Man: The God
I picked a rose today,for my girlfriend who smiles and says,“Thanks, this brightens my day.”And thus, I win her over every day. The rose existed for that purpose,I’m sure, because it brought smiles to us,De-thorned and de-nailed, this rose,Scissors rendering its evolution to dust. But what’s the big fuss about?I killed it and gave it … Continue reading Man: The God
बातें/ Baatein
कुछ तो बात छुपी है तेरे दिल मे,बातों से डर नहीं लगता।बातें जब तक चले, सही,गुमराह मन के भी साथ हुं रहता।। आपस में बीताया ये समय,आपस में रहे हम साथ।इसी याद में कह दो मुझसे,क्यु कांप रहे हैं तेरे हांथ? ये आंखों में आंसू की छाया,ये माथे पर डर की लकीर,चुप रहके सहती हो … Continue reading बातें/ Baatein
Conversations on Platforms
I hurried along the platform, anxiously checkingthe time. That’s when I felt that gaze upon me,following my bags, with eyes as dark as night.I had some time to spare, and I was curious.I called for him, he looked at me, and I stopped.He was no more than five or six- dirty,shy, ashamed and worryingly thin.‘Could … Continue reading Conversations on Platforms
Today and Every Day
Every day, I wake upand stare at my roof.Another day to tackle,numerous chores to do. I wish I slept some more,I could have postponed today.But today would still be here,waiting for me to come. The days don’t stop, the job goes on,It makes no sense; life won’t wait for me.That’s the way it works- this … Continue reading Today and Every Day
Reflections
I sit here and judge,watching myselfthrough the mirror. I wonder why he is who he is,why he does what he does? I guess I’ll never really know. I don’t mind, I’m sureHe must have had a reason.After all, all his choices got me here. The person on the other sideof the mirror can handle life.I just … Continue reading Reflections
Song of the times
There is a song in all of us. A song that we used to singloud and bright as children. A song that used to annoy,prickle, and confound the greymonotones of adults. Someway along the road of life,we start going to school.We meet other people, hear other songs.We try to sing along, join a band,instead … Continue reading Song of the times
Sunrise
Sunrise, I wake to thee.I rise to meet my destiny.I marvel at the joys to be,feel myself rise in glee. Sunrise, I wake to thee,I ride to paint my tapestry.I know not what I see in thee,You just evoke something in me. Sunrise, I wake to thee.Birds chirp in harmony.I will soon rise and see,a … Continue reading Sunrise
Uneven
Uneven are the emotions that I feel,Whether in my life or of those around me,There is a lot to be said about lonely apathy,Is that the only solution to preserve my sanity? Uneven is my mind and the decisions I take,Too many times I flip-flop and take a break.There is a lot to be said … Continue reading Uneven
