The Slow Death..

Was once a kid, Not older than thirteen,
Flabbergasted by the people attracted to your sheen.

The feeling was mutual, at least that's what I thought.
Not taking much time, we intertwined just like a knot.

Trusting my new friend, I did appreciate the bond,
Unaware of the consequences that lay beyond.

Being in your company I always felt light,
Still trying to fight the urge with all my might.

Felt myself crippled, quite sooner than I thought,
Feeling the pain in my heart just like a blood clot.

The time had come when I could no longer live,
Helplessly watching you with someone else showing the same jive.

Had always overlooked the warnings written in red,
Forgetting that they call you a DEATHLY cigarette.

Yet cherishing the moments each time we met,
And not feeling the slightest of regret.

Now all I wonder is :
A stick so small, yet the pleasure so divine,
Just can't get enough of you, Not even with the finest of wine.

PremoNition

Dedicated to her..!!

A girl so tender but pretty and brave,
Experienced stuff which most only crave.

Moved on fast, winning accolades and gleam,
Overlooking the silent prayers by him.

Pampered to the core she enjoyed the feeling of fame,
And still getting irritated with the care he showed just the same.

Gave a reason so lame to shove him away,
He,understanding her intent, left without having a say.

She met many hunks and still felt quite hustled,
Wondering whether he is the missing piece of the puzzle.

Years went by leaving her still searching for Mr. Right,
Contemplating his care and prayers with all her might.

Filled with regret she did re-connect with the boy,
Only to find him apprehensive about her new ploy.

She dragged on for a while trying not to let go,
Only to find the one betraying her was her own ego.

Deep down her heart she knew her mistake,
Still feeling lonely to accept her take...!!

Good Bye..!!

Just out of my college, Was a guy with grit.

Faced the toughest of the ordeals with enough wit.

Made new friends and tried to forget the gal of his dreams.

It Wasn't easy..but he being a flirt acknowledged all his gleams.

Then came the time to NOT fcuk up with the grades.

And display his true traits towards his trades.

Smart as he was, did kill two birds in a single shot.

Grades on one hand and a NEW gal in another slot.

Life wasn't so easy on him, and the gal ditched him like a trash.

Friends got apart and she got rid of him in a flash.

Appreciations did galore and he won the flight to glory,

But being all alone, the happiness didn't suffice even for a post in a senatory.

He cut off the strings and moved on to a new area.

Thinking it would be best to make new friends in a feria.

But the attitude which couldn't be changed compelled him to come back to his friends..

In spite of being burnt by their harsh words was still ready to make amends..

Changed his perspective towards Life and work..

In the end Was blessed with friends who would never shirk..!!

Best Friend's Plight..!!

Stayed awake the whole night eagerly talking to Jane.

Poked me with full strength, while i battered in pain.

Left me at the bar while partying with your friend,

Thought you really cared for me when you did come in the end.

Fate pulled her away, and you got me all wet.

That was the day when we eternally met.

Threw me in rage, banged me on the wall,

Broke me into pieces so that she doesn't call.

Satisfied of the act, you watched me die,

Me being a mere cellphone didn't even know how to cry.

A Flirt's Lament...!!

Finds a gal so pretty, turns into a hunk

Would give anything for her, even ready to flunk.

Lost in the love, he stalks her to convey,

only to know that she doesn't entertain and keeps him at bay.

Mr. hunk, nevertheless, tries new tricks saying its only fair,

Silly gal falls for him this time, impressed by his flair.

Days pass by only to draw them close,

Each Happy with the partner they chose,

Mr. Hunk, on the other hand, still looks for prey,

knowing that 'when the cat is away, the mice do play'.

The Gal, though silly, isn't a bimbo,

Walks over the relationship, leaving him in a limbo.

Mr. Hunk, though being a flirt, not happy in the end,

Deep inside still wanting to amend.

But as the day that passes by never comes again,

Flushes her memories down the drain with pain.

A lover or a flirt aren't much different

In the end, each has something to lament..!!

What goes around, comes around...!!

Slogged like a rat the whole year, just to become a Lead

The day finally came, only to be stabbed in the back & left to bleed.

**Later in the day**

Furiously Stepped on the gas, making the engine roar,
Swirled wildly as cylinders caught fire, with all my anger to pour.

A harrowing wail pierced my ears with sudden blood on the Windshield,

My eyes grew wide, realising who the person was, about to be killed.


Lying on his back, the victim turned out to be my very own boss,
Though feeling sorry on his plight, my face lit up with an evil gloss.

My trust-once-lost in Lord, was now revamped to a new high,

Having settled the scores, my heart did finally heave a sigh..!!

An Arduous squeal..!!

Slogging for many a months, saving dollars for my tour,
The destination I had always dreamt of, suddenly failed to lure.


For long, the India I knew, was about its heritage and traditions,
Though the recent episodes only strengthened my inhibitions.


The colleagues of mine returning from India, narrate a sordid tale,
Was once a land of affectionate people, who no longer prevail?


The Streets are desolated & the nights have turned eerie,
With a thousand eyes preying on you, venturing alone is scary


Each passing day unveils severe atrocities on the foreign resident,
The situation nowhere seems to improve, with the rationale apparently evident.


Today, it calls for a meticulous transformation in changing its face,
To Revive the lost faith in women, across the globe, with grace.
