Absolutely void!!!!!

In the midst of the crowd,
Where everyone is pretty loud,
Even the winds howl,
And scare each soul,
 I feel void,
It lingers even if I avoid,
The footsteps race swiftly
The path isn’t lonely,
No time to be lazy,
And thoughts aren’t hazy,
Yet I feel void,
Making me feel annoyed,
Each day brings a new hope,
To be able to cope,
Without a smile that’s lovely,
Without a voice that’s husky,
I just feel void,
It's turning me paranoid!!!!!

 

I wonder who they are?

I was told to keep quiet,
As if it was everyone’s right,
I was made to speak up,
Then they attempted to shut me up,
When I remained aloof,
They labelled me a spoof,
When I grew close,
I heard their distant echoes,
One day they came back,
Another day they just turned their back,
 I love them for what they are,
Would never forget the way they care,
I won’t speak a word,
Even if they poke a sword,
I would silently weep,
Yet I have no secrets to keep!!!!

Back to Life!!!!!!!

The lonely me,
Writes with no glee,
Smiled at all,
Yet couldn’t get them back at all,
Made peace,
Yet not at ease,
Hugs and smiles is what I need,
Yet no one paid any heed,
Then eyes made a deal,
And heart made an appeal,
To dig in the sorrows quietly,
And Smile sweetly
And be happy and chirpy,
For the rest of my life!!!!!

I will never look back!!!!

Dedicated to 2 of my friends ;)

I wish to see you again,
I wish to walk with you in the rain,
Arms clasped around even in pain,
 Yet I say, I never want to look back,

I wish I could peep into your eyes,
Every morning when I rise,
To share the happy skies,
For your heart that cries,
Yet I say, I never want to look back,

I wish I could smile,
For all the while,
When we together walk a mile,
Yet I say,  I never want to look back,

I am strong,
To be without u all along,
And this time I can’t be wrong,
 And I will never look back!!!!!!

Imperfect I am!!!!

You met me in the moonlight,
It was a beautiful sight,
Your eyes met mine,
And made a pretty sign,
My heart danced,
And eyes glanced,
You seemed to me just perfect,
Yet I wondered y did you neglect?
Hiding my tears I walked a mile,
With a fake smile,
Still lost in my thoughts about u,
I had no clue,
That I am Imperfect for you!!!!!

The Peeping Alice!!!!

In my school days the very thought of ‘travel’ would make me feel enthusiastic. Right from dressing up to walking through the by lanes holding my father’s hand would make me feel on top of the world and then comes the most beautiful part of the journey, the train journey. Unlike these days, waiting for the train to arrive was fun. The very thought of sitting beside the window made the journey irresistible and to my brother’s dismay I would fight for the window seat, which he would eventually give up. Sitting there would give me a feeling of undisputed empress. I would peep through the window just like an ‘Alice in the wonderland’. May be I was wondering about the magic of the Mother Nature which never failed to mesmerise me or I was wondering why are these trees and land moving with me and of course I was happy that the I was much faster than all of them.

Nowadays that enthusiasm is taken over by tiredness. The curiosity of observing things around is missing. Initially I thought all this was of the fact that I wasn’t the innocent Alice anymore, but now I realize that this was because of absence of beautiful things around. I am surrounded by people all the time who have different attitudes. Some are rebellious, some are calm, some are tactful, some are talkative and surprisingly some are busy, because they have mastered the art of working in absolute chaos. The train is a droplet of the people ocean which tells us that ‘City has grown manifold but society hasn’t­ where people are not ready to share their public space. Now peeping through the window was not at all fun as I could only see uprooted trees, concrete jungles, slums and filthy surroundings. Moreover I am so busy safeguarding my own space and constantly thinking of getting out of that crowded hell that there is ‘no time to stand and stare’. Maybe I am also one of those ignorant human to nature…

Ignorance has made this earth a ‘living hell’. It’s all because I think that my one waste plastic bag would not make any difference if dumped on roads. It’s because I think how would my spitting on roads will affect the environment? It’s because I think how would I by being corrupt and insensible make this place polluted? It’s because I think, I am not responsible for all this destruction it just happened so, when man was just trying to make a better place.

I wonder when I will enjoy “Peeping through the window” again in my life. When will I have the same curiosity to explore the beauties of Nature? When will people start sharing their public space? I think all this questions will have only one answer......

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world”.

       

   

'Mercy'......its just a word!!!!

I looked around,

With no penny or a pound,

With a helpless face,

But an endless pace,

Covered with mud and dirt,

And not with a shirt,

I gazed the glee in their eyes,

And stared the abundant hands,

I did stretch mine,

Which wasn’t a good sign,

As I pestered,

They angrily gestured,

Pushed me hard on the ground,

Thud!! Was the sound,

Weak as I am,

Got up and moved on,

It’s a morsel of food I need,

But no one ready to feed!

The day started with all your smiles,

We just used to walk some miles,

Giggling and chirping over a lost pound,

With arms clasping around,

Pulled each other’s backpacks,

Laughed over someone’s knacks,

And sadly part ways,

Only to meet the next day,

Pockets were penny less,

And moments just priceless!!!

For My Valentine!!!!!

One wonderful dawn,

We both were blessed to be one,

To commence the journey of love,

With lots of dreams to owe,

No matter the pains,

Let’s witness the gains,

From young to old,

From to silver to gold,

Gold to platinum,

And platinum to forever,

We promise to care evermore,

And stand by each other

Transcending the horizons,

Of Love, Trust and Togetherness!!!!

You are the one!!

Observant yet cannot see you,

Patient yet eager for your cue,

Brave to discover ways, yet bidding you adieu,

Shy yet audacious to ensue,

Ugly still hope to love you,

Somewhere I seize to be myself,

But doesn’t matter ignorant thyself,

Still I pretend peace,

I act at ease,

The only thing tats true,

Is love for you!!!

Handsfree!!!

The day was boring than usual. With a heavy bag on my shoulders I managed to run and catch a fast train to my place. Today, I witnessed a miracle happening. I got a seat within few minutes. I heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at the lady who was considerate enough to offer me a seat. Quickly I fetched my ‘handsfree’ and my book so as to kill the boredom. Soon the world around me seized to exist. After a few minutes I looked back to see a blind man coming towards my seat. I just removed the handsfree and tried to listen. He was humming an old and by all means a meaningful Hindi number “Dil sacha aur chehra jhoota”.

His soulful voice pierced through my ears. Some people were just too engrossed to adjust their handsfree according to the FM signals that they missed listening to his soulful voice. He sang the whole song and easily managed to replicate the magical nodes in the song. Some coins were thrown at him.  He got down in the next station to fetch another compartment.

I also found myself fitting in my handsfree to enjoy the not so peppy number after he left. I realized that our life revolves around meaningless things.  I was so eager to listen to lots of songs which has no quality to call it one. I listen to them because everyone else is doing so. I anyways have to kill time and what if I kill myself while doing so.

I reached my home and was fast asleep. The next morning was chilly. I managed to get out of the bed obstinately. Coffee was tastier than usual. May be I was happy to get a holiday after a long time and hence everything seemed to be just perfect. I enjoyed every sip of it while standing in the large balcony of my home. Suddenly I found something was missing. I couldn’t listen to birds chirping especially I couldn’t see my favourite bird ‘the sparrow’. I reached out for my mom and yes she also did not see any of them since a long time.  This earth was too brutal for it to live a beautiful life.

I decided to go for a walk that morning. After a long walk, I saw a calf fetching water near the hand pump. Soon some school going kids ran out to help with the pump. It drank loads of water. Some started fiddling with its tail and then pelting stones on it. It cried for help and as usual its cries fell on deaf ears. Everyone including me was busy with ‘no work’.  

We are nothing but self-obsessed individuals who are just ignorant to even look around. We ignore the people, voices and happenings all around. We fail to realize that we lonely souls need a ‘handsfree’ to walk around. Every minute we think about problems and hardships we face and easily ignore the other creature’s woes. We escape from listening to voices which are real and consider ourselves practical, commonsensical and rational. We are nothing but blissfully ignorant souls who can carry a bag loaded with books but fail to carry a piece of responsibility.

We are named the brainiest of all,

For us important are just phone call,

Hits head against the wall,

But money makes us do all,

We are the fiery fireball,

Soon we will witness our downfall!!!!
