The monsters of past

06Jun08

Hard as i may try to ignore it,
this beast finds me out and stares down at me,
it was born of me, and i feed it daily..
when i try to be wise in retrospection.
It was not there when I was me,
it was born when I tried to be some other soul,
It is bigger and better than [...]

Alvida

29Sep07

Chalo is kitaab ka aakhiri panna palat lete hain
Jaam ki aakhiri boond zabaan pe rakh lete hain.
Chaand se chandni alag kar ke,
Chalo is raat ko bhi amavas kar lete hain.
Vida ki baat or ankhon ki nami ka rishta ajab hai,
ghataon ke baad boondon ki rasam ajab hai,
jaante boojhte jo zakhm liye hain humne,
un kuch zakhmo [...]

The Silent Crossover

29Jul07

The Silent Crossover
Silence spoke a hundred words tonight,
pain has set a hundred passions alight,
tears as pure as nectar wash my eyes,
to the heavens above I bellow…this cant be right.
The moon’s beauty and the sun’s blaze are passé now,
Many sacrifices are mere farces now,
Of a distant past, all pleasures seem to be,
Withered with denial, frustrations line [...]

Faith…… and the costs attached

15Mar07

You look at this person with total faith. You find this person completing your sentences, you find this person to be the gift that you never asked for and yet were bestowed with. so many things you would have to say about him, there would be periods of silence when you sit together and yet [...]

Bikharte Rishtey

03Mar07

some feelings got the better of me and i ended up writing this poignant poem… thanks for bearing wid me.

Aas paas, kuch rishtey bikharte dekhe,
preet ki basti me,kuch ghar jalte dekhe,
dhuan jab sanso me ghulne laga,
humne apne bhi honsle pighalte dekhe.
Baagh me phoolon ka vaada kya hua?
sapnon or khushiyon ka sauda kya hua?
salon se seenche [...]

A short story… real this time

17Jan07

She died today after a 2 day long struggle with old age. It was expected, but the finality of seeing her body inside a fragile glass coffin was disturbing. Not as disturbing as seeing her husband sitting by her body. This old man cannot walk straight, moves while sitting, and for 7 months now I [...]

Long time no see/sea

22Dec06

This post is a proof to a fact:-
When we say goodbye to someone, we take so many things for granted, when i wrote my previous post, i did not imagine that Mumbai would be rocked by a series of bomb blasts, that the site of blogspot would be blocked and that i would be writing [...]
