A ROLLER COASTER RIDE...

LIFE...
As stirring as a hot cup of tea
As painful as the sting of a bee
As soulful as the art of Da Vinci
As serene as the sight of a calm sea
As innocent as the love of a newly wed pair
As stern as a monarch’s glare
As joyful as a toddler’s smile
As shrewd as a wizard’s guile
Full of highs & lows,jolts & strife
Oh Dear!it’s the journey called life

I AM DOOMED...

I AM A FAILURE...

Different times,a different day
no change in my fortunes
no harm in hoping for sweeter music...
but when did i expect devastation to play in my ears as the only tune

I don't know where i come a cropper
where do my efforts go wrong...
my road to happiness is full of rocks,
& is really,really long

Maybe,having lost everything,i shouldn't fear
maybe,i don't belong here
Certainly,i'm a failure...

WHY DID YOU GO...

BROTHER,I MISS YOU…
When even my soul seemed to desert me…
I knew I could count on you,
When cronies suggested I was the best god had ever created…
You grounded me with your unbiased view

You don’t choose your blood relations…
They are provided according to the lines on your forehead,
But if ever god granted me a wish…
Rather than asking for a fortune,I would have chosen you as my brother instead

You never gave me a chance to complain…
But one grievance I shall always hold,
You went away leaving me alone…
Leaving incomplete the greatest tale of friendship,that was probably never told

Everything will slowly come back on track…
Even without you,my life won’t end,
But till I breathe my last breath…
I’ll miss you,dear friend!!

DEATH...!!

DEATH & IT'S UNCERTAINTY

have i ever felt so weak before...
when my entire existence is shaken to the core

i try to stabilize my senses again...
d heart it seems,has conquered the brain

i wish i were a saint or a sage...
so that i could calm down my irrepressible rage

man tries to complete life's jigsaw with his self created dots...
not knowing,that somebody up there actually calls the shots

all the struggles for power,clamour for money...
it all now seems so funny

the world will still be the same...
except,that somebody's erstwhile heartthrob,is now part of a photo frame

impeccably dressed in lifetime,now lying beneath a wreath...
it's the uncertainty,of a very certain DEATH!!

WHAT DO I SAY?

These few lines are dedicated to a very special friend of mine,whom god just snatched away from us...i am not in a condition to say much,except these few words.MAy god place you in heaven buddy,may be we weren't good enough to keep you as comfortably...bye forever brother.

IT'S A DREAM...

IT WOULD BE NICE ...

oneday I will wake up
in a different world
where people won’t fight
over few pieces of gold
where blood won’t spill
over idols & gods
where harmony will prevail
against all odds
when men won’t be butchered
because of their surnames
when we all will co-operate
to achieve our common aims
when love won’t be bounded
by boundaries drawn on some maps
when humanity will finally come out
of these worldly traps
when all my prayers are answered
when all my dreams come true
when success would be by my side...
with whatever i do

one day I will wake up
in a different world…

PLEASE GOD...FINALLY!!

NO MORE PAIN…
I have duly made a new start…
Now it’s fate’s turn to play its part

My efforts would be whole hearted I promise…
You won’t be able to blame me for any blemish

It’s an unchartered path I am going to tread…
Retracing my steps is an event I dread

‘Give me some sunshine,give me some rain’…
Give me anything god,but please spare me from any more pain!!

we shall overcome..??

A NEW START
I have to put an end to this…
To resurrect my life,which has gone totally amiss

Shutting my doors on the thing called ‘feeling’…
Once again in the race of life,I have to start winning

No room for any more failures…
I don’t care if I have opposition from enemies,or support from my peers

As I bid goodbye to my broken heart…
Grant this wish of mine god:make this a brand new,auspicious start

PRAY FOR ME GUYS...

THIS IS MY DARKEST HOUR
When push comes to a shove…
Even the mountains begin to slide,
I have reached such a stage…
No place on the earth is enough for me to hide

It won’t be far fetched to say…
I am standing with my backs to the wall,
How I wish somehow I could do something…
To stall my free fall

None of those around me…
Care to understand my predicament,
When nobody is there to lend an ear…
Where on earth your feelings do you vent??

Pray for me guys…
This is my darkest hour,
Else don’t blame me…
If my tired soul decides to call it quits,& doesn’t go much far

IT'S A WEIRD FEELING...

I DON’T KNOW WHY
I don’t know why…
But I want to cry,
All the dreams that I ever saw
Now appear as though a lie

I don’t know why…
But I want to cry,
My heart is full of tears
But alas!the eyes seem to be dry

I don’t know why…
But I want to cry,
Tell me god,can I ever come out of this…
Or shall I die??

I don’t know why…
But I want to cry,
For I can’t answer others’ questions…
& can only sigh

I don’t know why…
But I want to cry,
The pain is too much to bear,& I wonder…
Is it time to say good bye??

I don’t know why…
But I want to cry,
Should I abandon all my feelings…
Or should I give it one last try?

I don’t know why…
But all I wanna do is cry

I AM READY TO FIGHT AGAIN

MY HEART IS LIGHTER NOW...
It's pertinent to say...
that life is a journey with problems galore,
but just like the proverbial glass half full...
it is also an opportunity for the spirit to come to the fore,

As much as the adversities contrive...
to tinker with our fate,
our inner will warms itself upto the challenges ahead...
with the same youthful enthusiasm of a guy on his first date,

Sometimes in the tug of war,the other side pulls ahead,
on the other occasions,it's our turn,
but rather than winning,it's about putting up a fight...
in any contest,it's the loser who gets much more to learn

there is no fun in a hassle less life...
a life without challenges is not worth living,
the world never had any praise for the gentlemen...
who made it to the top without any striving

The problems in my life haven't reduced...
but facing them valiantly is not a shame,
coz,taking your own fears head on...
is the name of the game!!

I AM READY TO BE CRUCIFIED

PUNISH ME GOD...
Every time i thought it was over
It came back to show me - my joys are temporary , but the sorrows are forever .

They say every cloud has a silver lining
My skies are so dark , even the dungeons appear to be shining !

Fighting against all odds is a habit i've inculcated
Somehow i know i'm one of the most ill fated .

Come on God , give me some more pain
If i am the chosen one , why shall any punishment remain ??

IT'S AN UNFAIR WORLD...

HAVE I FAILED IN LIFE...??
I am their friend…
They all claim,
Yet,for my loneliness…
Whom shall I blame??

There is no dearth of people…
Whom I speak to,
Yet,those deserving to be called as buddies…
Are very few

Everybody wants to have a piece of me…
I am a source of material gains to them,
None could ever gauge the fact…
That my mind is always in a state of mayhem

In their hour of need…
My help is taken for granted,
They never cared to enquire…
What I really wanted

I know they all are turncoats…
Who’d never fail to betray,
Yet,I keep standing up for them..
Day after day,in every possible way

They say good things happen to good people…
Its all a bundle of myth,I am afraid,
Else,through these muddy waters of pain & misery…
Why do I have to wade??

If the sun,the moon,the universe are all fake…
Then I may well have committed a sin,
Yet,every morning I wake up,& ask myself…
“why can’t I ever win??"..

Maybe,like the others around me…
I should have been a rogue,
Being good in this world,it seems…
Is simply out of vogue!!

IS ANYBODY LISTENING...

ISN'T TREATING MALARIA SIMPLE..??

Most of our colleagues are always keen...
to treat it with quinine,

& when it does tend to complicate...
they advocate the use of artesunate,

Such a pity that they conveniently forget the fact...
that MALARIA can be controlled by such a simple act,

Kill the female Anopheles,which is the boss;
As stated by the Legend himself,Sir Ronald Ross!!
