There Are Days

Some days you wake up hating everyone
And on others you scamper around with a grip on the gun.
Friends vaporize and the sun never rises
And the rain chats away, flooding pots of all sizes.
The silver lining seems like a big fat lie
And nobody hugs you as the tears roll by.

But then arrive days wrapped in sheer joy and love
Your head spins like a wheel and the world looks like a painting from above.
You says things never said before
And don't realise how to keep getting more.
When your vision is blurred and you don't realise
That you've never felt better or how quickly time flies.
Every wrong turns so right
And every colour that day has never looked so bright.

So breathe and wait
For these days to arrive and alter your fate
Because you'll get what you want sooner or later
And you'll find that person who's never meant greater.

I love you more than cheese loves wine.
I love you more than a girl loves retail stores.
I love you more than Romeo loved Juliet.
I love you more than the Earth loves the Sun. Or the moon.
I love you more than a marriage loves its baraatis.
I love you more than Mark Zuckerberg loves Facebook.
I love you more than you love the old saint, the wise monk.
I love you more than Apple loved Jobs. Or vice versa.
I love you more than the horizon loving the sun.
I love you more than starry nights. Or just a Mazzy Starr night.
I love you more than a gujju loves his theplas.
I love you more than people who love their BBs.
I love you more than any meal cooked just for me.
I love you more than a John Mayer, Adele and Coldplay concert.
I love you more than Bombay loves its traffic.
I love  you more than Kareena loves to over-act.
I love you more than the soil loves the first rain drops.
I love you more than a musician loves his first composition.

With all my mush and blush-self, thank you.

Taking Care

Penning down notes, stringing hearts to a heart
For bridges are burnt sitting a feet apart.
Feeding our innate appetite to be loved
Pushing yourself forward without being shoved.
When careless whispers hurt more than a spear
When mouths ramble on without any dignified fear.
The smallest gestures ease your pain
'Cause urns brimming with love are washed with disdain.
Words are uttered with no real meaning
Your heart is wilting even when you're beaming.
Incessantly cleansing yourself like a omnipresent shower
For there is no shame in being a wallflower.
Swimming around in a stream of thoughts
Trying to shape a world, connecting those dots.
Eyes meet and emotions are expressed
But you wring inside cause your floating soul is depressed.
Please thank those who give unrequited love and care
I never learnt to bargain, never got my share.
Shutting down can only help so much
For you need that vent, that healing touch.
Life goes on, some might say
But what is life if you die day after day.
And if reading this makes you think I'm sad,
Just don't think, share a hug and I'll be more than glad.

Cheers.

Seven Days In Bandra

We turned to each other to lift our spirits
And fit like a glove being society's misfits
Taking long walks on crowded roads
Unburdening our inhibitions, our mundane loads
Being blunt has never been such an understatement
You knocked in some sense, smoothened my dent
Ideas merged trudged along many a fights
No one knew what followed after honest nights
Seven days in Bandra never seemed like a week
It's been a comical ride with an impressive streak.


For Namesake...

What We Do

Stuck on a ride on a number 8 Running against time, always late. Masquerading ourselves, putting up a show Searching for a halo, the holy glow. Tying loose ends, building a story Making music out of What's Your Morning Glory. We live a million years in a day We die in a second to nobody's dismay. Love is found & momentarily lost You care & they hurt at no one's cost. At the end of the day it's a face known & a lesson learnt The journey matters till you lose your breath & your existence burnt. Scars are formed without a knife It's called The Circle of Life.

A Public Apology

I apologise to all the imbeciles I'd befriended. I should have known you were of no good. 
I apologise to long-lost friends. I should have kept in touch, and not just leave you etched in my heart. 
I apologise to the family. I should have said 'I love you' more. 
I apologise to the boyfriend. I should have known what to expect and thanked you much more. 
I apologise to my best friends. I should have given you more credit for bearing with an unbalanced soul such as me. 
I apologise to the nation. I shouldn't have given up hope on you. 
I apologise to AIESEC. I should have fought harder. 
I apologise to Bombay. I should have known you're irreversibly contrasting and clunky. 
I apologise to DeeTee. I shouldn't have taken you for granted. 
I apologise to my health. I should have given you undivided attention. 
I apologise to my conscience. I should have known your insane bouts kept me grounded. 
I apologise to my emotions. I should have known you're the only thing that rendered me my humane-ness.


And I deeply apologise to myself. I shouldn't have undermined you. I shouldn't take away my dependence on your independence. I shouldn't curb your string of emotions or skills. I shouldn't ever let you down. I shouldn't ever leave you deserted. You deserve much more.

The Blind Fury of Love

Watching you sleep, in my arms, it pains my core to let you go away. Your breath on my neck smells like a lost heaven, brings me back to life. The strength of your arms, the warmth of your embrace, the simplicity of your love have only engulfed me and left me intoxicated. The truth in these eyes can conquer many hearts, can break even more. The stillness beside me makes life flow within me.
The delay sparked by greed makes me wanna hastily find the unknown profound. Find the missing link. The real meaning because I've been made oblivious by selfish choices.
The TV has nothing on its screen, like the faces of people who've come and gone.
The blades of the fan keep rotating, never stop, like the love along with anguishing pain.
As you lie beside me, I wanna shut my eyes too, and dream. Not of the euphoric heaven or the boundless love. I wanna be trapped in fury that's devastating, only with hope, that you'll wake up and save me.
