Dedicated to the two pillars my world stands on...


when the night was dark
and the way unknown
how did u still
lead me back home
when the body was bleeding
and the weapons gone
tell me how
u still fought on
when emotions were still
and eyes were dry
u still kept smiling
tell me why
how do u make all moments so bright
why do i feel u r always right
why does every fairytale
make me believe
your values will prevail
why do all deceiving eyes
convey to me
that truth will rise
whenever the wrong
battles the right
wat makes me speak
"i will fight"
yes it is your firm conviction
that truth is always
mightier than fiction
its your belief that makes me say
that my footsteps
will never go astray

no, gratitude would be too small a word
to tell you dear parents
that YOU ARE MY WORLD!!

बचपन का वो आश्वासन
शायद था अंधविश्वास
दोषी भी तो शायद
है अपनी ही आस

स्वार्थ लिप्त इस दुनिया मे
भावनाओं का मोल नही
गूंगापन मंज़ूर यहाँ है
पर मन के सच्चे बोल नही
रह जाता है पंछी फड़फ़डा कर अपने परों को
तोड़ने को आतुर वो लोहे कि उन छड़ों को
एक एक कर ढहता है धीरज का हर स्तम्भ
आहत मन का दंभ है
या है साँसों का हड़कंप
आंखें जैसे खोयी हों
टूटे सपनों की समीक्षा मे
निगल ना जाये रात इन्हें
भोर कि प्रतीक्षा मे

फूँक कर रखने हैं कदम
कहीं छूट ना जाये संयम
और टूट ना जाएँ कहीँ
"सुसंस्कृत" समाज के
ये दृढतम नियम

ambition!!


silent creatures
silent skies
silent r these waking eyes
but thumps away the beating heart
all set to tear itself apart
and the active roving mind
oscillates far n behind...

when the world sleeps
they r wide awake
choosing to put
all at stake

its a constant drive
a blazing fire...
an unsatiable deep desire...
to keep the storm blowing by
to keep the tides rising high...

there r numerous embers in the urn...
still alive n ready to burn.


the anxious surge of blood n passion!
the strong emotion..tamed ambition..!

A Contrast With Life


All the while i struck
a contrast with my life
with tons of grief in my heart
I have learnt to smile

while I'm mum like a doll
and emote like a toy
I wonder whether its my sorrow
or my search for joy


To talk about all else
but keep shut my grief
to relieve others' cravings
and myself crave for relief

The distances are too long
its so hard to get ashore
not a glimpse of the land
and hurdles such galore

its a battle.....a silent one.
its a battle......that can never be won.

for i had dreamt of the sky
which was pretty much too high
and the nature's wierd rules
are too tough to defy

so I struck a contrast
with my beloved life
and amidst the looming darkness
I lit my torch alight

yes..life is a lost battle
but I prefer to fight
to enjoy the course of the strife
and go with all smiles..

Sometimes u win
and u dont know it....
this battle where both of us lose each day....
Sometimes u manage
to make me feel
the heat from ur soul smouldering away...
when your meandering melancholy seeps quietly
through the invisible barriers I have created......
and i watch helplessly-the long gathered heaps of my strength...melting away..
transforming into fluid compassion....
And i know u won again
when my heart breaks into a billion pieces...
watching u cling to a thin thread....
oscillating between the fear of losing...
and the meaninglessness of winning....
But what u fail to know is...
I know, I feel, and I die everytime my realisations come alive....
We both are fighting......u your fears....and me my pretence.
