In turns...

I was a wonderful kid. I had energy, wit, sense and doggedness and a taste for blood. I have always let the sayings of my mind rule the things of my heart. I have fought the battles to the end. I have almost never given up. I was relentless.

Now it seems I am changing. I seek what I abhorred at one point of time in my life. “I know you much more and much longer than anybody else,” she says. “ You analyze way too much.” Yes, I know its true. I do. Everything and everybody has been weighed and found wanting. One “interest” after the other. Fine Arts? Sports? Politics? Gaming? Programming? Quizzing? Literature? Wow!!

It was the maniac in me that sought things, that could be mastered and I lived on. As the sheen became dull, the maniac moved on, but I could not. It has been a load, an overwhelming one. People think I am joking when I ramble on about things that I know related to the topic. I am trying to get sober, mature...

I am actually on my way to becoming a well-tuned human being!! Somewhere deep down, I’ve stopped expecting from people, learnt to make room for the fact that human beings are just a bunch of lost souls in a world that is too big for them, and that every person must find their own way home themselves.

I have started allowing myself space to make mistakes. I have allowed myself to go to sleep leaving tasks unfulfilled. I have slowed down considerably on the learning path. Why am I letting the fiery animal inside of me, die this death.

Come on... Once again...
This song was the thing that carried me into the new year. 
Zindagi mein koyi kabhi aaye na rabba

Aaye jo koyi toh phir jaaye na rabba

Dene ho gar mujhe baad mein aansoo…

Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba - 2



Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba



Dil ke jo armaan the, dil mein hi reh gaye

Aashiqui jo kee toh ham, ashqon mein beh gaye -2

Gham ka fasaana hai, dard ye puraana hai -2

Itna bhi koyi yaad aaye na rabba

Zindagi mein koyi kabhi aaye na rabba

Aaye jo koyi toh phir jaaye na rabba

Dene ho gar mujhe baad mein aansoo…

Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba -2



Ashq aankhon mein bhare hain, jigar jalta hai

Kya qayaamat hai, kya qayaamat hai

Kya qayaamat hai…

Bhari barsaat mein ghar jalta hai



Yahi sochta hoon kaise usko bhoolaaunga

Na woh kabhi aayegi na, usse bhool paaunga -2

Jeene ka thheekaana hai na, marne ka bahaana hai -2

Itna bhi koyi bhi sataaye na rabba

Zindagi mein koyi kabhi aaye na rabba

Aaye jo koyi toh phir jaaye na rabba

Dene ho gar mujhe baad mein aansoo…

Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba -3

Zindagi mein koyi kabhi aaye na rabba

Pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba

Can life teach?

It actually began, quite reluctantly. Unnecessary as it may seem, life teaches you what you allow it to teach. Even Life cannot teach you what it offers you. One has to let himself dissolve into the experience and let it sink in, and that I might call religion or education. Whatever the other person is willing to accept. Nay. Does it matter? Nay. Life is about teaching oneself. Being a self-thought-taught "person", picking up bits and pieces from various experiences, I tread on a path; I have myself laid out for myself. Never have I asked, in other words, begged for words, from "messiahs". Never did I think myself of having enough virtue, call it patience, to learn from others. So "rich" were my experiences. Things change, dynamically. Responding to an open question, throwing caution to the winds, I immersed myself into a debate, with people who thought, had streamlined their thinking apparatus and abilities. Gradually, they pestered; read "lee...

Can you hear me?

When the last tree has fallen, When the last drops of water are polluted, When the last bird ceases to sing, Will “they” realize that money cannot be eaten. Reading these somewhat crazy lines, I was joyous, at being finally able to have convinced myself, that this human race has faintest of hopes of living out the new century. I had been troubled for a pretty long time at, what seems to me, a race to extinction. I am an educated, liberal and informed individual. Having been educated at the best of the institutions, I developed a deep admiration for Mother Nature and her so “wily” ways. Listening to my Guru and his talks on “biomimetic” methods, I sensed a deep concern in him. Of late, all he talked of was “Green” Chemistry. I connect to people, people my age and people “not” my age, irrespective of who and what they are, thanks to my rootless upbringing. I used to be appalled at how short sighted “genuinely” gifted men can be. Talks of Dollar salaries, Ivy League scholarsh...

The void...

I feel empty. I feel raw. I feel rotten. I feel like not feeling. I have nothing to show, if someone to ask me about what I have achieved in my stay on this planet. Nothing. what is a few flirtations with literature, knowledge, pain and sweat. No blood. No tears. No medallions. No gallantry. Ah! I am disgusted with myself for being so ordinary. I deserve the void for I do not work half as hard as I could. I am wasting my life.
