Our dearest friend, Corruption.

"Of course, we all feel the pinch of Corruption but we don’t really bother until it stings us. We will not mind literally buying an engineering seat for a son until we see that somebody else paid double the amount and got away with it. We will not mind pulling strings here and there to get a loved one out from jail for being caught at a rave party until someone else gets away with murdering someone at the same party because of heavy political weight lifting.

We are like that. We do it for love. We do it for greed. We don’t mind getting our hands dirty."

Faith

"An ordinary man seeks solace in the one answer that we have all grown up with – God. He is everything one cannot find an answer to and everything that we do know about. They say that man was created as an image of god. Even an atheist would desist from refuting this statement because we are our own Gods, aren’t we? The power to change the world… the power to acquire your heart’s desire lies within the confines of this human body. Ever wondered how beautiful that is? How can one not believe?"

Happy Friendship's Day

"Khhursi par baithe..

Chuppi hum nibhayein..

Kuch na kaho tum..

Hum bhi hain khamoshi mein gum.

Tum paas na ho ke bhi..

Ho humare saath..

Aisa ajab hain humari dosti ka ehsaas.

Muskurahaton mein chhupe the woh labz..

Jo hum kabhi na keh sakein..

Darr lagta hai yeh sochke –

Kya ho gaya hain humein..

Bin tumhare ab hum lagte hain kuch adhure..

Haath thamein rakhna, oh yaar..

Zindagi bhar nibhayengein hum

Woh dosti wala pyaar."

Words.

"Until the rattle of these words awakens my mind the day seems empty. It feels like time is slipping from my hands to punish me. Since when did i fall so much in love? Now the distance makes me irate and as intolerant as a tyrant. I search for my prey to dig claws in because this hunger is making me wild. As i sit here, restless in anticipation, there is someone out there who has hunted down my feed. People wait to see me conquer and here i am, waiting for nothing. There's a blanket around my treasure that protects it from me. It says that i'm not ready to pursue all that i have gathered so far. I lost my way in the drunken slumber of lust only to realise that my love is lost. "

Let Me Be.

When the sky was falling down

I closed my eyes

What I saw, took me by surprise

Little did I know

That you would be there

Waiting for me as if this was your place to be.

 

In the warmth of the moment

A colorful mass whirled in my head

Where it took me

I didn't care.

 

All that there was to know

Is that you are here

There is no despair.

 

How is it possible for this magic to be?

No reasoning

No doubts

A fact for all to see.

 

How come I did not see this coming?

Was I really that blind?

Or was it a feeling so much a part of me

That I never realised?

 

The sky is falling down today

Everything is falling apart

Somehow, it is only today that things make sense

Somehow, there is an evanescence

Because today, for the first time

I tasted your essence.

 

My eyes are still closed

Closed to the chaos that won't let me go

Can't we stay in this comfort forever?

You wrapped around me

and me hidden under?

 

Don't let me open my eyes

Lest the magic be scattered

Wait, just for a few more centuries

Let me learn the plains

The contours

The swirls

The mess of you, of me

Please let me be.

 

The sky is falling down

While my eyes are closed

Lost in this colorful mess

Shh...

Let me be.

A day with you

This is no poem, no rhythm, no rhyme           

It's what i feel

It's what i want you to feel             

A love so warm that it melts a stone

A stone of a heart which you claim to own.

 

When you open your eyes I don't know what you see

But today let me show you the world as it is to me.

Sunshine falls on my face to wake me up

To tell me that it's time for me to buck up.

 

It's a new day

It's a new beginning

It's another reason for me to live

Cause this gives me an opportunity

To come closer to you                                                            

To feel your warmth

To touch your hands

And realize that it's not all that bad.

 

When I see that smile on your face

Somehow, this world feels like a better a place.

When i feel your warmth against mine

Somehow, every moment then on seems more divine.

Together we can walk on rainbows

Together fruits of joy, we sow

Walking steps to match yours

Ready to catch you when you fall.

 

We bicker like a bunch of hungry cats

You scratch me but I bite you.

In the end, I'll come to you

As you lick my wounds so shall I too.

 

Pockets full of chocolates I stole

Gluttony queen that you are

You ate them whole.

The chocolate smeared on your nose

Made me crinkle my toes.

How can you be so adorable?

 

Gosh! I feel like locking you

Within the wraps of these arms.

Then the day comes to a close

I stood there alone on the terrace

As the moon arose.

While gazing at stars

I got a message from you

Which said -

"Look at the moon

It has a message from me to you

No matter where you go

I'll always be there

To watch over you

So don't be scared

you are mine only."

 

Bubbles burst inside my heart

I close my eyes and wait for another day to start.

Everyday you give me a reason to laugh

Everyday I wait for those bubbles to burst

A passion for life singes inside

Somehow, you do a magic that quenches that thirst.

 

It's beautiful

It's crazy

It's all this and much more.
