You.

It was you whom I longed for,

It's been nine months and there are going to be many more...

Because I know you might never be mine...

Which is why things for me would never be fine...

It was the first time I fell in love...

But then, it was just like you grew wings and flew away like a dove.

I will still love you forever...

Forget you, I will never.

I hope you will be there for me,

Whatever the matter may be.

Consider me your friend forever,

And, I'll be there for you whenever you need a helping shoulder.

You're a genius and very clever,

You don't deserve a guy like me ever.

I hope you like what I wrote,

I can't express more in words because I'm broke.

P.S.- It's only for YOU to understand! :D

Loneliness is what I feel.

There was a time when I wished,
Of spending lots of time with people whose memories are now only cherished...

It doesn't matter anymore,
Because I'm learning to be alone and explore...

But, I wish to spend my time with those,
Who have been with me through my highs and lows.

It hurts me when they act ignorant,
I still manage to keep patient...

Only if they understood this,
I wouldn't be as sad and depressed,
As I am today,
But, unfortunately, I have to say that,
Loneliness has crossed my way.

Dear Childhood, come back, I miss you!

Gone are the days, when playing with GI Joes was cool…

Hiding them in your bag, and taking them to school…

Lying to your parents, and going to play…

Being playful and not wanting to obey.

Homework was like a daily chore…

But, all it would do was bore!

Little did I know that all of that would pay,

And, make me what I am today!

I know not of what in the future, I am going to do…

Dear Childhood, come back, I miss you!

It's raining, badluck.

Sitting by the window,

Looking out into the open…

Into the horizon..

I see the raindrops falling...

And, the beggar still begging…

But, the rain doesn’t want to stop…

And, the beggar cannot walk.

I pity the beggar who cannot do much…

And, only beg, using his one crutch.

Sitting by the window,

All I can do is wish,

That the scrawny old man doesn’t perish.

That Indian Woman.

That Indian Woman who looks so very beautiful in a saree. That Indian Woman who looks pretty always, even in her sleep. That Indian Woman who has a nice bindi that signifies her marriage. That Indian Woman who has her own opinions. That Indian Woman who is forever ‘smiling’. That Indian Woman who has a lot of self respect. That Indian Woman who MAY NOT be educated, but knows a lot more than an educated person. That Indian Woman who has seen the world even when she hasn’t. That Indian Woman who can never dream of betraying her husband. That Indian Woman who is good with her words, deeds and money. That Indian Woman who is respected everywhere she goes. That Indian Woman who would live her individual life parallel to her family life. That Indian Woman who is determined to do everything. That That Indian Woman who fights for her rights. That Indian Woman who can say just a word and shut the crowd. That Indian Woman who would apologize to the person she has hurt just because she wants them in their life. That Indian Woman who doesn’t care of what the world has to say about her. That Indian Woman who makes such good food that everyone licks their fingers more than they do at KFC.

Everyone looks for this. At least, I do.

** A Tribute to all those very beautiful women who have made my life beautiful! **

Mumbai- The city, a pity.

It's not all clean and green as it is all perceived..

It is dirtier than dirty, that's what I see..

Infants who run from here to there,

Naked, having nothing to wear.

But, we also have big cars going from Napensey to Prabhadevi...

It's all bigger than the biggest and, that's all I can say...

A city that has produced greats like Tendulkar and Ambani..

Where nothing else matters, but only money...

Stay in this place once and you will realize..

The value of bread, butter and rice!

A little more than 'Rain Rain Go Away!'

It's raining, it's all so beautiful...

The valley looks green, and is beautiful as ever!

How we want to jump and play in the rain,

And, re-live our childhood again!

The wind blows slowly and steadily..

And, it's all calm and merry....

Let's forget about everything,

And, go down, and dance and sing...

It's a pleasant day...

Let's NOT cast it away!
