I'm Lost Again....

Darkness all around….
Loneliness everywhere….
Going through a mind block, I stare into empty spaces….
Wondering where I’m….
Strange feelings have crept in…and….
I’m lost again.....

I feel like a psycho….
Doing things, not really knowing if I actually want to do them…
Not knowing if I’m on the right track…
Or was I never in the race…
Strange feelings have crept in…and…
I’m lost again.....

I feel like a plagiarist….
Donning and aping others’ ways….
I wonder where my original self has mysteriously escaped.…
Strange feelings have crept in…and….
I’m lost again.....

I feel like a hypocrite….
Putting on situational masks….
Erasing away my true face….
Just to earn a worthless plastic image….
Strange feelings have crept in…and….
I’m lost again.....

I feel I’m lagging behind….
Far behind the world ….
Who have depicted selfishness and successfully backstabbed….
So I decided to stay behind….
Far behind….
The strange feelings are turning weird….
I’m really lost again.....

Have I Crossed The Line....

Have I come too far….
Have I made things too close for comfort….
Have I evaded personal space…
I often wonder….
Have I crossed the line?...

Is there a need to construct boundaries….
Is there a need to build an intangible barb wired fence….
Is the situation really very bad…
I often wonder….
Have I crossed the line?...

Do I need to depreciate my emotions…
Do I need to reciprocate my feelings…
Do I have to stay a little out of the way…
I often wonder….
Have I crossed the line?...


Should I stop taking liberties….
Should I give up the need of being taken for granted….
Should I, forever, stay away…
I often wonder….
Have I crossed the line?...

Can I let those long preserved memories disappear
Can I let those cherished moments evaporate…
Can I just presume that things were never as good….
Can I just know….
Have I crossed the line?...

I Want to be left alone...

Humans, now, don’t amuse me …
With sadism they seem to have grown….
Their activities, now, stings like a bee…
I want to be left alone

Corruption, to them, has become lucrative…
And, to the society, negativity has flown…
This human land doesn’t, anymore, seem a safe place to live…
I want to be left alone

They have proved to be highly intolerant….
Apparently, in them insecurities have overgrown…
Sadly, they can never turn benevolent …
I want to be left alone….

They have become highly flagitious…
Signs of incompetence they have shown…
Only contributing to a chunk load of mess…
I really want to be left alone….

YOU WALKED AWAY....

Millions of questions I wanted to ask....
Hundreds of reasons I wanted to know....
Of the mistakes I blindly committed....but....
You walked away.....

I wanted to talk....
I wanted to apologize...
I wanted to make eye contact and express my heart...but...
You walked away.....

The time we were together and happy....
Seems nostalgic now....
I was pulled back to the harsh reality....
And I tried to stop you....but...
You walked away.....

Misunderstandings had crept in....
Differences had erupted from nowhere....
I wanted to explain and break the barriers....
And free my heart from the ever growing pain....but...
You walked away.....

There was a time when we stood together....
Arms in arms and inseparable...
Surpassing hurdles and yet staying united.....
Everything is all shattered now...
I wish we could go back to normal....but....
You walked away.....

I sit alone and think....
From being more than best friends, till this point of time...
how close we've evolved....
But just one violent wind has blown away our surprisingly vulnerable relationship....
I wanted to ask...
Why isn’t there left any 'Faith ' anymore ...but...
You walked away.....

I’m now soaked in my sorrows ....
And now the only desire that remains....
To see you for one last time....
To walk along and hold your hand....
To bow down and express all my emotions....
But tears trickle down my eyes.....because....
You walked away.....

Left handedness, I’m loving it…

The first time I moved a limb…
I must have moved it the unconventional way ….
I must have held out my left hand….
Left handedness, I’m loving it….

The first time I must have reached out for a toy….
The first time I must have held a bat…
The first time I must have thrown a ball…
I must have held out my left hand….
Left handedness, I’m loving it…

The first time I held a pencil in my hand….
With a piece of paper in the front….
I must have scribbled with the unconventional hand…
Left handedness, I’m loving it…

The first time I must have danced…
The first time I must have greeted someone…
It must have been instinctively unorthodox…
Left handedness, I’m loving it…

I still play ball….
I still scribble…
I still dance….
I continue to greet…
And the instincts are still the same…
I’m proud to be a lefty….
Left handedness, I’m loving it....

INDIA,what a country we are...

Unity in Diversity exists, is what we say....
But 2day, Intolerance is prevalent and has gone too far....
100's of different gods we pray....
INDIA, what a country we are......

Children at 11 n 12 work at dangerous places....
I fail 2 understand why there isn’t a lower limit age bar...
In them, of childhood, there are no traces....
INDIA, what a country we are......

Celebs bask in their own glory...
Each one is considered a star....
The media is behind tracking down their day to day life story...
INDIA, what a country we are......

People follow stock market with great enthusiasm...
Rolling their eyes along every steep fall& a fair hike above par....
Leading to ignorance towards the prevalent menace of violence n terrorism...
INDIA, what a country we are......

We have the richest Indian as a trillionaire...
Being compared to the richest Czar...
But millions of slums still exist everywhere...
INDIA, what a country we are......

Poverty and Unemployment are ubiquitous...
Illiteracy is riding at par....
We seem to be in a total mess...
INDIA, what a country we are......

A patriotic movie can inspire us...
Making us think about the beauty around, for hours...
Yet for a foreign degree and job we cry and make a fuss....
INDIA, what a country we are......

The Judiciary is taken for a toss...
The handling by the powerful, rich and famous is bizarre...
For justice, this is such a big loss...
INDIA, what a country we are......

Yet i don’t regret being born in this country...
Holding on firm to where my roots are...
Because I know, from these obstacles, one day, we will be free...
INDIA, what a country we are......
