Shadow...

I shall be there for you

If one day you feel like crying
Remember and then call me..,
I don’t promise that I will make you laugh
But can assure you to cry with you
Said my shadow to me;

If one day you feel like running
Think and call me..,
I don’t promise to stop you while running
But can hold you hand to walk with you
Said my shadow to me;

If one day you feel like staying alone
Think and call me
I cannot promise to leave you alone
But can claim to be a part of your loneliness
Said my shadow to me;

If one day feel like not listening to anyone
Call me....
I don’t promise to make them shut up
But will surely will make myself quite
Said my shadow to me;

If one day you finally feel like calling me
Do not call me
As then I’ll be standing besides you only
Before you call me
As ill be no more since am “Am’ you only
Said my shadow to me..!!!

The man in looking glass

The man in the looking glass

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you kind for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what the man has to say to you
For it is not your father, or mother, or teacher
Whose judgments you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring at you from the glass?
You might resemble someone and chisel a plum
And think that you are wonderful
But the man in the glass says you’re only a burn
If you can’t look at him straight in the eye
He’s the fellow to please- never mind all the rest,
For he’s clear with you up to the end,
And you’ve passed your most dangerous difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend,
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats in the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartaches & tease
If you cheated the man in the glass.

Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams I lost my dream,

in the middle of night, I heard the children scream,

with all their might. the street was crowded,

with faces that were shrouded, waiting with their hands folded,

with fear writ large on their forehead,

they watched their houses being raided.

The dream was full of colours and joy,

like a rainbow over the indigo sky.

They had laid down their arms, all had went back to their farms.

The street were full of voices, of children who were joyous.

No fear in their innocent eyes, No tears streaming down their cheeks.

Mothers sighed and prayed in their minds, to their gods who were kind.

None had lost their limbs, to mines, guns or bombs.

The guns lay scattered, the tanks rusty and battered,

Loneliness...

LonelinessSometimes,

I wonder by the shore

Oh! sea, what do I search in your core?

Is there anything deeper than my mind?

Anything more tumultuous or refined?

anything more stormy than my emotions?

anything more beautiful than my notions?

anything more wavy than my moods?

anything oh! anything happening the way it should?

In quest, waves emerge, come to surface and reach their shore…

I could not have asked for anything more!

you have your limits, my mind is unleashed,

you want to cross it, while I want it leashed,

yet… I keep returning to you, your outstretched arms keep calling me!

alone by the shore I see…..

no one more lonelier than you and me!

ONE QUESTION - MANY REPLIES.

My one question had many replies

That was a forwarded message to me. That suddenly an idea clicked into my mind and I picked up my cell and forwarded the same message further to my few friends to get to know their opinions for the same. The message carried a question that was supposed to be answered by the recipients of this message of mine. The question was “What is the first thing that comes in your mind when they think of me. And the was to be honest while replying and not to play any pranks on me. Now excitement was gearing up within my heart waiting eagerly for the replies.

Gradually my cell started buzzing up and my excitement level was going up. The first reply was from my school friend’s side which said that he reminded of the good times we had spent together at the school life. That was a genuine expected reply. Another friend replied that he was reminded of my sweetness and my caring nature. Another friend of mine could recall of my first meeting with hers and so on. But I had been eagerly waiting for the replies from my 5 friends.

And finally the waiting hour was over and there came the reply from my sweet pal. And her statement was “U SHUD CHANGE.” .I thought it to be a good feedback but in its reply back when I asked her what kind of change was she interested to introduce withi then she was answerless. But why? Don’t know. May be she didn’t want to answer then or may be even she wasn’t known to the kind of change to be introduced within me.

Second was the reply from my bestest pal who had said that she was “REMINDED OF OUR SWEET FRIENDSHIP THAT WHAT WE HAD THOUGHT OFF AND WHAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING.” She even consoled me for being there with me whenever I needed her.

Third was the reply from my cutest gal who said that she thinks “DAT Y DID GOD MAKE YOU LIKE DIS??” and when I asked in return like wat?? She replied that u already know that what u had been in the recent past and what u r presently.

Moving further another friend had a statement for me “U YOURSELF CHANGED UR IMAGE” And my reply was that I know the reason for dis but will you never ever talk to me... then he very affirmatively said “look lots of things have happened in the recent past with us, so it will take time; a bit time but v’ll talk for sure.” And I was happy to see this nice consolement from his side and showing me a ray of hope that we could have a fresh commencement for our friendship.

Fourth was dumb but still an expected answer for me that was a single beautiful word with all the meanings hidden in it and word was “NOTHING”

This whole write up of mine might appear to you all the mere wastage of time but it’s a true page of my life. and if you concentrate all the 5 replies carried a bit similarity among them “U SHUD CHANGE” (with no answers further meant that I need to help myself in my case with none of the suggestions to be approved). Second reply wanted me to give up my abrupt change that I had brought up and start up with new beginning. Third answer was given to contrast the comparison b/w my beginning days of college and the present. Fourth was to give a thought to my worsening image and try my best to improvise it. Last but not the least “nothing” was speechless to make out any suggestions in exceptional case like me

THANKS TO ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS FOR KEEPING ME IN THEIR KIND CONCERN AND GIVING FEW MINUTES FROM THEIR BUSY SCHEDULE ………Well that was a part of my senses and contemplations and had one conclusion only from whole lots of these suggestions
“….EVERYONE DOES NOT MARCH TO THE SAME ROAD AND CANNOT BE CASTED WITH THE SAME IMAGE EVER…..”
