Hello!

Passing months, and all the passing days...
Far far away... they all go by...
But, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?

Riding alone...
Gliding unseen, though the rusty roads...
Blowing winds, beating me...
‘Coz you’re not here to hide behind...
But, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?

Singing rains, shatters though the glass...
And brings the chill, that flutters the heart...
How far away, your warmth has gone...
But still, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?

Burning the heat within, silence runs onto the mill...
Lost in work, too far away to watch the behind...
Perturbed, but should we disturb?
Only hopes, will they catch your eye...
And still, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?

[An attempt at weaving a song]

dubious dreams

Am i sleeping?
or
getting awakened...
Is the reality slowly striking?
or
is it the clock tickling away...
Would anything change?
But everything does change...
isn’t it?
So many questions
still no answers...

Stamping across the closed door...
Would the bleeding hands
pass though?
Or
shall faint
at the vestibule...

i hear a faint call
Someone is singing!
or
is it the ringing
alarm for another day...

getup gal!
Time to smile for the world again...

fall for resurgence

As my heart pounds
and i reach the threshold
I can see the approaching peak
Only few miles to go...

I close my eyes
take a deep breadth...
I see your smiling face
Calling on to me

Gathering the last strength
I reach to the top
hoping to see you again
just before the fall...
feel your arms around
The last time
And
opening my wings
I fly...
The last time...

I open my eyes
re-newed energy
burning the veins...
itching...
for another mount
for another soar...

born again?

fleeing with time

The time runs away...
Do you know where?
I look at it from 2... to 2...
But you I cannot find
And I bring myself
to leave everything behind...
why you come there and then?
‘Sup?’
And I find myself
Running backwards
Just to find you gone again?
What is the play
hidden in your eyes?
The running to-n-fro
Making me weaker
by each day...
Please stop!
Tell me what you want?
I’ll give everything away...
But please...
Let me flee with the time
Never to be back again...

ne plus ultra dayz

morning 4am
till where i stand
tears in eyes

what shall i call
it today
this day
that makes me smile
or the same that aches my head!

same day, same day...
glorious epoch...
same day, same day...
grazed with dazed tyre crush...

compliments surrounded
left on an empty esplanade...

first time felt
the gender danger
first time felt
helpless and tottered

'friend'
knows now
what it means

drove alone
this night today...
what else written
left to play?

tuckered out
ne plus ultra day!
all smile
or a sorrow to say?

mindanomalies...

Thinking buds
about growing into trees
the strength the power
standing tall as tower
but where was to know
a sentimentalist within

still the vernal
quests the
why grow?
the responsibilies
the pains
the tension
the heartbreaks

all the good and
all the rights...
who is to define?
where is the line?
show me,
coz i have no eyes

guiding the wanderer
to be a tree
who would hold
the wind so free
cruel is the age
that cuts the wings
from the...

9/11

hijacked attacked
many killed
many tears
many lives collapsed
under 110-stories...
exposing the hollow US
inside out!
clamorous cries
the doomed year 2001
scribed forever
on lost souls
hallow them
mark this,
at least 3000...
i remember still...

4am rain

Clouds humming,
thunder lightening
the darkness of the night...

the sweet touch of rain
slowly
melting in nature...

like a candle burning
in the night...

i look at the clock
4am
slowly tickles away...

eyes
lost the sleep...
cascaded away...

spilling rain,
though the windowpane...
4am

gloom goons...

Ahmedabad Serial Blasts...
16 places blasted... with 30 killed and 100 injured (as reported so far)

After yesterday's mishap, i was not calm...
Somehow the sadness was still lasting in me...
as if something more is yet to come...

The Bangalore blasts seemed, a smoke screen...
or perhaps a hoodwink for the bigger boom!

There was 14-page mail being sent to all news/media channels. Not only that... there was a warning sent 3 days... mind it THREE DAYS AGO... What was done?? Why we were not able to act fast?? Where is the administration lagging?? were we all SLEEPING???

Every time these things happen and the carp is set on that we do not have adequate special task-force to handle such situations...

My question is what is done for the same each time?? The budgets are being sanctioned... ya, we hear that every time... but where is the force being created?? where are the people being trained??? why are we lacking in blink action... why?

Jaipur... Bangalore... Ahmedabad... Next... WHERE???

looming gloom

Hollow cast
hollow doom...
snub mass,
creeping gloom...
why?
This is the phrase that crossed my mind, with the terror cast from the blasts in Bangalore today... till now 7 blasts have been reported with 2 causalities and 20 seriously injured... source identified as the gelatin sticks with nuts and bolts used as shrapnel and explosive of the quantity of 1 or 2 hand grenade...

But sadly, forgetting the injured people, the media is more vocal about the blame game... who is behind all this, terrorist SIMI or LeT are being pointed...
Why can't people and media be more focused on the issue at hand... why they roam around in circles, round and round the issue without really getting their hands into it... Making a 'Big-Fat-Fish' out of the sentiments of people is what always done...
And unfortunately 'we' become their preys willingly... panic... loose our common-sense and give in easily...
Where our logical thinking goes when it is actually needed?

But (not to forget) some of the new-age-gens are so much advanced and computerized that the when they get the ill-fated-news... the only reaction is to call home, check if everything is fine and go back to their precious computer screens... as if allz well!
How?? how can we be so in-humane??

I too checked home, checked with all my friends if they were fine and situation was under control... but i was not able to return to my work...
I looked around, people were busy with client calls, meetings... laughing... the daily office routine...
But... i just couldn't laugh... I went to my fav place to calm myself, but that also didn't help... so i decided to leave office by the very first bus leaving the campus since i hadn't come by my bike today...

As majority of the crowd was leaving early, I had to commute standing. And while standing in the bus only the above phrase came into my mind...

All the questions of the changing computerized life... thinking how people love machines more than fellow humans... How easily they communicate to machines, but when faced with a real person, they seem lost on words...
When did this transition happen?

But suddenly one guy asked me to take his seat... and i was like... curtsy still exists... humanity still exists...
But still, are people not losing the touch on how to express... how to initiate... how to bloom a smile... how to show the love...?

8 Blasts in 30 Minutes, 1 killed and 9 injured

de winged

You awoke
my insensate soul
Whilst the sunset casts the last glow…
You unknowingly became
my fiduciary
Whilst counting the glistening stars above…

You gave me
twilight dreams
Whilst slowly stroking my tender hands…
And I wished
I could be your anodyne
that ceases the creases on your heart…
Whilst you inspire
my poetic soul
And the glow of
a dreaming spirit…

even then
Never would I hold
you captive…
but still you possess
my wings
upon your eyelashes, ever so…

Dance

When the night
seems too long...
when the heart
beats no sound...
when the hands
become cold...
and you find
yourself alone...
play the music
that you love most...
dance and dance
till you drop dead...
dance on the snow
till, The End
of the show...

broken pieces

never love with your complete heart
'coz
when it is gone...
it pains a hell lot
and
you have nothing...
nothing left to live for...

purity...

Purity,
always questioned...
Just a whiff of smoke,
shrivelled soft petal...
Dead,
for life...

But
purity surrounds,
even the dark...
Like a lotus...
Flourishing,
inside the filthy pond...

where is it?
in the heart,
of innocence...
where is it?
in the words,
words of kindness...

It’s a moment,
crystalled timeless...

time

sometimes love is for a moment,
sometimes love is for a lifetime,
sometimes a moment is a lifetime...
you have given me my lifetime,
some treasured moments,
never to be forgotten...
also i find,
sometimes some moments are guidelines,
sometimes some moments are lifelines,
sometimes a life is
a timeless moment...
and that is my life time
lost
in your time...

iota care

don't care an iota...
falling every slope
fishing daily,
only for a look...
eyes closed cross by
quite...
waiting...
looking some sign
don't care an iota...
each day comes,
and creeps by...
quite....
counting
engrossed whole...
closed for some smiles
living
life goes by...
question
ten thousand answers...
but why?

Old, No More!

Why can't I stop the time...
Why can't I make it still for you?
Make it still, so that you grow no more...
Stay where you are,
Stay with me for days to go...

Same sweet warmth,
same sweet smile...
Same sweet frown,
same sweet scowl...

The feeling of safety
The feeling of purity
The compassion in your arms...

Let me hold the time!
Please let me hold!
So that you grow old no more...
Stay in your arms,
stay for days to go...

Running back crying,
cursing the world...
Hiding behind you,
from the devils unknown...

Tender Touch,
Care so Pure...
Everything is alright,
Tears washed sore...

Please make time stop!
Make all illness go!
Please make time still!
Make you old no more...
Please stay the same,
stay with me for days to go...

See me smiling,
see me crying...
See me growing some more...

Maybe I am running
Running from the truth...
Maybe I am selfish
wanting you every morn...
So please, just stop saying
Baby, I'm growing old!

cross

Why cross heart,
every time tried to come close?
Why grouch,
everytime tried to make smile?
What is the mistake,
that behave so?
Vulnerable,
to you
Disclosed whole,
to you
that you very well know…
only mistake committed,
given the right to growl…
only mistake committed,
given the right to know…
but truly,
is it a mistake?
but truly,
otherwise would have been better?
do you feel something?
or just a casual passing?
You care?
tell a-more…

Dream

Nurtured dream,
slowly slowly…
passing all the odds,
passing all swords…
going alone,
finding alone…
crossing all the shits,
crossing all the pinch-pits…

Nurtured dream,
slowly slowly…
Taking face,
taking pace…
coming real,
shaping from surreal…
growing with each day,
growing with each pray…

You came,
joyous dream shared…
You came,
took it, all of it…

You came,
blotted black and white…
You came,
gave back the remains…

Nurtured dream,
where is the place?
where is the grace?
carcass is what it became...
Nurtured dream,
what out of the blue?
what now to do?

Plz talk...

Please talk...
Say something at least...
Don’t be this silent...
I love you so,
So much, don’t know what to say...
I know I’m wrong,
I always do something or other
That annoys you so...
But please talk...
Say something at least...
But don’t be this silent...
I know you too love me so,
So much, that this much you care...
I cry everyday...
Seeing you online,
Away or idle...
Every time, I try to say,
Please talk...
Say something at least...
Don’t be this silent...
We have been together so,
So much, that I can’t Be,
without you anymore...
Please talk...
Curse me shout at me,
Blame me cry with me...
But please talk...
Say something at least...
Don’t be this silent...
I miss you so,
So much, that my ears,
awaits for your calls...
You are and would be always,
a part of my heart...
even if we are,
so far apart...
Your silence hurts me,
like a knife cutting,
bleeding bloody heart...
But it only cries,
just for your voice...
Please talk...
Say something at least...
Don’t be this silent...
I love you so...
