The walk back home....

Tokyo is a very nice place.It has been the best place I have ever been to in my short life span.Its better than the place where I took my first breath,the same place where I hope to take my last.No doubt,Tokyo has been good to me so far.But my world is some place else.The world that I don't wanna share with anybody.
This is dedicated to my family and my buddies who mean the world to me.


The dawn of the dusk and I trudged to my place,
Bemused slow steps set the soul to race,
These steps looked so far and forlorn,
As far as my heart that stayed at home.

Each step it sounds familiar and heard,
even if they were unseen unspoken unheard,
These old steps that each day woke my sleep,
& stopped by me as each night would creep.

(Walking down this alien road...)
Lost in my thoughts, I had a fumble,
Hold me dear friend, before I crumble,
You were the one who was seldom harsh,
Trust you blind, you are never a farce.

(Walking down this alien road...)
Lost in thoughts,I bumped into Mr. John,
The look in his eyes were full of scorn,
In my land,they would care a damn,
even if you were run over by a tram.

(As I walked to my door...)
For the keys in the bag,my fingers slid,
The soul was lost in the chirp of a kid
The smile that took my gloom in its stride...
Sigh!! but a Dark silence awaits me inside.
The cold of the door knob, it sometimes killed,
The warmth had long died,my place served chilled.

The world here is aplenty and sauve,
But nothing for me to be in awe,
Not that was I born with a silver spoon,
(the one that fed this kid,)
It shines no less, though its a humble spoon.

When I hit the bed, the soul felt,
the ice could wait before it melt,
tears could freeze,even if its a crime,
for there is some more time till its time.


As an afterthought...

when friends say distance breaks many a heart,
And strains of time stretch the STRINGS apart,
these STRINGS that bind my heart as one,
the ones these strains could never sway,
are the ones that drive these strains away.

Stuck in a Jam

I am in a block.I have to write something.

I started atleast 5 things and they all have failed to reach termination-point. A river that flowed with energy, all of a sudden seems to have dried up before it could reach the seas.This could be frustrating.
To start things and then leave them in between because something holds you back and try as you might, it doesn't seem to end.Reason???.A place, a person, a thing, a situation, a conflict, a blank mind, a confused mind or a lazy mind that just refuses to think further.
This, from personal experiences I say, can happen in various facets of life.All the steps that you took seem to end just short of zenith.
You are in your job and suddenly you realise you are going nowhere, never mind if, from the fence, it seems you are on course, going with the flow. A wandering nomad who might just go all around the world just because its in his nature but everything appears same and he awaits a lifetime for his nirvana.A budding partenership may stall in the middle before it could grow fruitful.A relation might dry up before it could rest in bliss and peaceful harmony.
So what do you do then? Trace back your steps? Leave those unfinished business?Put down your shovel and decide "I will take a new path"? Or put down your foot and say, "No matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, I am gonna complete it"?
I have decided to take the last option.It will give me a satisfaction that what I had started has reached its fruition. I would like to see my ideas grow and shape up the way I want them to.Just like parents see their babies grow into something that they could be proud of.It will also prove, not to the people I call my world, but to me, that I have taken some decisions that I am convinced about and I can never go wrong with them.That I have made some choices and I will stand by these choices to prove they were the best that was there.
Right now, I am in a block.It won't last for long.

A Tribute to the Best of My Generation

A man, A mountain.

This is for the lovely people I know who have paid a heavy price for being the sweet-hearts they are & in a manner that would make us shed tears--smiling and laughing.



There is a mountain in my village,
For ages dealt with floods and storms,
It stood alone to the test of times,
Failed it did but very few times.


A fortunate soul who lost his way,
He built his home to live and stay,
The mountain gave him all it can
It gave the best it possibly can.


It seemed such a beautiful sight,
When the place glowed in saffron light,
The sound at dawn of the bird chirping,
& the chilly breeze would pass by flirting.


It blossomed with flowers in the springs of madness,
Drenched in tears in the rain of his sadness,
Autumn came as their bond grew twofold,
Tender felt the winter as you saw love unfold.


When all looks rosy and colors bloom,
It creeps in quietly like a pale gloom
He sought glory to be a suitable groom
Setting their union on the path of doom.


For greener pastures and a content life,
For servants plenty and a beautiful wife,
Leaving me alone is not a crime,
I am your friend till your time.


The rocky monster was left in shock,
Bereft of a companion,its the smiling rock.
It stood alone, it stood tall,
The mountain in my village will never fall.

Lost Something ?!?!

Quite a few things around me have been lost these days. And of course the sadness and grief that accompanied all these things have been the same.

There is a friend who lost his cellphone. Another who lost his car.
One lost her precious safety pin while someone else lost his bank PIN.
One lost her CYCLE (the vehicle) while another, her boyfriend.
Someone called me up to tell me that she lost her virginity.
I lost my entire source-code.
I lost my prospective wife. I lost my prospective girlfriend too.
I lost my pair of socks as well.

People call me ABSENT-MINDED. Is there a relation?

I have lost my mind.

Overheard.

A guy and a gal in the coffee shop.

Gal: You know whenever a gal asks a guy out for coffee, the guy feels the gal is there to be taken.That she is a slut.

Guy: Definitely Not.I don't think every gal who does not ask me for coffee is not a SLUT.

Thank you V.
