Pictures

-   There is something weird about pictures At times, they are a memory and sometimes a pain. They evoke emotions you want to forget, Erase happy moments in a snap, And in a moment, turn you upside down, Like, if you’re happy it makes you sad And vice-versa. We click pictures of what we love, right? Selfies too fall into the same category, if I am not wrong, Then why people disappear from pictures? For several months, same faces share a picture together, And within a time period, the face changes, Why? You know, I too had a picture very dear and near, And every picture, like they say, spoke millions of words. But now when I see them, they are so shallow. While I smile in every picture like he is the one, his smile, His smile is that of those people, who just adjust, These kinds are not really a part of the memory you’ve created, But in that moment, you just feel so happy that you don’t notice. Anyway, so when I just go thr...

LOTUS (A poem for a dear friend Mehak)

She is the lotus I found in muddy pit Blooming irrespective of world’s glitch Hid behind the bushes so quiet Shied away from even the sunlight I was a sunflower, attracted to fake light Never listened to her chirps or chit-chats When reality struck me hard, I took a corner Falling apart, with no support or shoulder Her petal fell apart to give me shadow Said I don’t have to be the only to swallow The hard times, words and shit that people gave me She became the precious one to shame, blame even praise me.   Time went by, we grew closer For a sunflower like me, she become the soldier She healed me and I too heard her long stories of sorrows And one fine day, she was over everything and I was still standing with my past ghosts. I didn’t like it, I really didn’t, I swear But she was somebody for whom I cared So, I didn’t create rifts, I still loved her But her words were like swords at times and sometimes, I don’t know I just wonder....

I hope you find someone

I hope you find someone whose eyes take you to the beauty of Galaxy,  Makes you think of stars, roses, all those beautiful things that are usually associated with romance.  And when the greys, Browns and all those dark shades of life takes away your smile, she, with a magical wand, just do something stupid to make you smile and send those grey clouds wandering over your sunshine to a far away land.  I hope you find someone who covers up your mistakes,  erase them and write a story that makes you a hero, Become a shield to your scars and a chest to keep your secrets.  When you take your sexy side, she melts like a yummy dark chocolate and gives you immense pleasure, Takes the ball in her court when required, but also gives away her sword the very next moment for you.  When you are confident, happy and feel like a king, she equally gets strong, When you break down and want to stay in your hideaway, she becomes the door you can lock...

Imperfect Espresso

Knocking on your window When the sun shines on your face The Rays wakes you up from your sweet dream phase You'd find me holding a cup of tea for you, Kissing your nose and making your every day forever new. When you move out of your blanket to dress yourself up, Slip your strong feet in those soft slippers, Rub your eyes and hold your face, You'd find me thinking 'oh such a cute face' I'd find you the best pair of shirt n pants, Give you a matching tie, oh you don't know, you've got looks like nobody else, Flush at the thought of watching you drying yourself, I wish, I was the towel instead. At times I'd wish, you wish not to bathe alone, You've no idea I've thought about everything of what can be done under the shower, I've been naughty, you know that. I prefer being cute, well that's my choice. When you'd comb your hair, Or polish your shoes, Well, it's a boring thing, but you make it so beautiful, To l...

6 months

6 months  Standing on your door, It's been 6 months to me,  And in those 6 short months Ive looked at changing weather,  People, time and moments, But not me.  I've looked at that tree in front of your house,  Shedding its leaves for my misery,  Youve been deaf to the songs those birds have crooned for me.  You've bothered me unknowingly with the little that you gave, Oh my, I still remember the feeling of kissing your face,  You've forgotten the bold stories I told you with no regrets,  Or the trust I had on you than the rest,  Or it was a dream, a dream that I'm going to live for a lifetime,  With a tear of mixed feelings in my eyes.  Those creaking sound of your door  Or that fragrance on you,  I've kept like a rose petal in between pages of a book, They are hard earned memories, I've kept them safe.  No matter what you say, every drop of love ...

Dil Bhar aayega

Kuch vida kar,  Kuch gale Laga, Beti ki yaado ko, Zara tolkr dekh  Dil Bhar aayega.  Kuch shukr mana Kuch aafat samjh  Dekh uss sindoor ki taraf  Tere Naam joh saji hai  Maang uski Teri umr hai  Zara jaankr dekh Dil Bhar aayega  Narm haatho ko chu  Chumb unn lakeero ko  Teri izzat, Tera vansh  Tere khwab ko  Tere pariwar ke khwabo ko  Apne paro me sanjhoye  Udegi par apni raftaar se Zara chot mein bhi haste Tere beti ke labo ko dekh Dil bhar aayega Uss Aanchal me chupe daag ko,  Kuch chupaaye hue dard, sikaayate, pyar ko,  Saree ke border ne usko toh baandha,  Tujhe udaan di,  Uss maa ke pallu ke silvato me chupe unn ankahe tyaag ko dekh  Dil Bhar aayega.  Choti si chocolate,  Badi si cycle,  Apni salary se tera phone, Tere girlfriend ki maange, Tere rishte naye puraane, Tere galtiyo par parda Yun toh be...

Unexpected number 10

Unexpected number 10  It's funny how we strive to get love from someone but can never really appreciate when we have it around. Kalpana did have someone who loved her like crazy for six damn years but she could never fit him in the frame of a partner but a best friend.  On the contrary, she kept falling for all sort of guys who found reasons but not to stay to leave. Some were months long and few years.  As far as I could remember, the last thing she could or wanted to do was to break someone's heart. In beginning of her 'teenage' she would say yes to everyone who expressed their love to her. But as soon as they started, they would end too.  Kalpana was a person who followed the saying- ignorance is bliss. Not that she wanted to ignore things around but for her, except people who were close to her, no one really mattered.  She was one naive girl whose childhood was not a bliss for her and adulthood, well that was too adult.  She w...
