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.
