Outbound!

Should I fly away with time or stop and 'cease' the moment

Should I trust the divine or doubt each new & touching fragment

Should I rest my choices or keep looking for what’s around

Should I settle in my hollow’s or fight for what’s outbound

Just wanting to move like the clouds, should I settle, burst and rain

Yet go unnoticed as if each was no different and no two were the same..

For Starters and till desserts

Life amuses me and so humour is what I find in everything around :-D
He plans, we goof-up and vice versa.

Here is some crazy food for thought.Take it with a pinch(or pitcher) of malt;-)

If only god had a base on earth
If only his strat team was dispersed
Would he be kind enough to have a one to one
Before he charts out a destiny for us
So that his plan and our course
Would never slip out of control
Present confusion, past & future joys n pains
Would never see a mismatch in plans again.
A slight hint here and a slight trick there
If only we had our own Da Vinci codes
Cracking them would be more fun
Than relying on our silly & logical conundrums
Whoever thought we could start from nowhere
Life's venture capitalism had to be a failed concept
So if at all a course correction now be done
I would strongly recommend he set up office on earth.

P.S : I love this pic for some live reactions.

The World Is Changing

And I woke up, to how swiftly time had moved, not a moment to rethink.
The grass was washed and was now as green and pious with the dew drops fallen from the night,
The times were changing , the guitar notes were done with.
The melodies were fresh , and in the azure sky the doorways to new smiles had opened with some gracefull exits and long drawn pauses.
Suddenly the abnormal made me happy, and I lived the life I never imagined would bring me joy.
Believing what came to you at first go , with no space for maladies.
And then there is now so much going inside but millions of miles away there is a composed note ringing in the head incessantly but calmly so.
And then you look at newer and newer turns and you wait for the morning with no second thoughts.
Look above and down and around and you have never been so sure.
And then you step in the sunshine and dance like the music would never end.
Like the darkness would never set in, like the raindrops would never hurt you again.
And then you begin to see the sunrise like you never saw it.

Like a butterfly just got wings shimmering with vibrant hues.

And here I was, walking in all this and more.

For real.

Of crooked streets & snow

Some memories leave a mark, bundled with moments with an undying spark

That every time you click rewind. You just sit back and smile.

Some people make you feel so loved, their ways not just words

You just can’t leave the feeling behind that you haven’t yet gone half the mile.

Some bonds are forever, meant to nurture and for keeps

Just a tear there and a smile here, not enough with their passing remarks and deed

But then everytime and day, when you jump closer to the now of things

Missing then is part of the loving now, memories bottled forever.

Just when Are you?

Just when the world is doing the usual, Are you fighting with yourself for a change ! Drastically

Just when the usual is making them all happy, Are you pushing back all those deals! Casually

Just when they are sealing it off, Are you eroding all the past layers! Clearly

Just when they are all piling cash, Are you looking at ways to clear bank accounts! Comfortably

Just when the clocks ticking,  Are you looking at making the circumference bigger! Insanely

Just when they are working at falling in love, Are you looking at ways to fall out of it all! Passively

Just when they are all gung-ho about Diwali, Are you waiting to celebrate your first Haloween! Weirdly

I Am , Are you?

Stand Out

Do whatever , But Do like noone has ever done before

Reach wherever, But be sure you can get back to the shore

Love forever  , and never leave that one asking for more

Die whenever , but thank life for what  it had in store

Hurt if ever,  but then make sure you can heal the soul

Lose however,  but fight till you find your goal.

Pre and post nothing Happiness Syndrome

Is there something like a happy moodswing?
After prolonged days of being morose and bored , dying for a change, where your boss reminds you of Dogbert , when your work life starts to suck, when you are swearing on the men you don’t want to be with and running behind the state you actually want . This state shocks me. Makes me think what is that I am doing right. So I could hold on to this forever.

After those emotional controls hanging from your ceiling fan making your head go round and round strangulating your minds independence.
There are these days when you have happy mood swings. When you are in the state of loving all that surrounds you. Where everything means a thing. Where you live in the ‘now’ of affairs and not ‘later’.


That’s when you realize that these are days when your are actually doing things for yourself. You are not knocking things down for later. You are not avoiding your own self. You are not being that self depressed lazy butt. You are not judgemental about people who love you. You are not holding back. You are just settled.

and P.S Mr. Clooney my love, why does one even need a back pack when one has no baggage to carry.

Les pluies de l'été

The thirsty drops of rain tingling onto my head,

Barren thoughts of joy that it seems to have bred .

Its the misty cloud and the virgin vapours insight ,

Its not me that seems to have indulged in this fight.

I lift up my cramped self to walk in the cool breeze ,

Thanks to the coy clouds that ease out all the crease.

Its not me to be blamed for I have no tempest needs,

Its the rain that has caressed and dampened all the seeds..
