Get Curry-ied Away!

उम्मीद

2012-02-02T01:54:00.001+05:30

. . .

उम्मीदें तो बहुत हैं

बस उस वक़्त का इंतज़ार है

जब खुशिया अमल हो

और इस दिल को जीने का एक नया मकसत मिले|

THE DOODLERS - Calendar 2012

2012-01-19T00:25:00.010+05:30

"A pencil for them is what a twig is to a bird

A piece of paper is what gold is to a goldsmith

Be it random, meaningful or abstract

They doodle what they feel like

And this common love for scribbling on anything blank

Helped them create a trio called 'The Doodlers'.
That's the thick-framed-spectacled team of
Abhijit, Neha & Sameer,
Who love eating everything and laughing on anything."

It gives me and my other two close buddies immense pleasure to announce our first attempt on print as a team.
That's us, THE DOODLERS, who have come up a collaborative doodles + illustrations based calendar for 2012. Because New Year is here and we want it to be colourful, abstract, unplanned, random, chirpy, adventurous and interesting all throughout the year.

Cheers to 2012, Cheers to THE DOODLERS.

Here's THE DOODLERS' official FB page, where you can also buy these prints: Click. Buy. Enjoy.

Distance

2011-12-31T18:32:00.000+05:30

You are there somewhere, aiming high

I am here, trying to fly

We walk, run and take a thousand leaps

To achieve those never-seen-before dreams

Two people, two parallel lives, unknown destinations

That's us, trying to make each day meaningful

We are strangers, yet insanely waiting for each other

Just as a cuckoo calls out for rains; in that voice so beautiful

On the way to this search, if I fall, I get up again

Walk till I see a dead end

But there is a path beyond that end

Which is unforeseen and filled with a mystery

I want to unveil that treasure with you

Few moments of surprises and adventure

Without a frown or any doubt in mind or heart,

There should be a beginning of a new venture

At times words are inadequate

To share the moments of joys

That's when eyes come in the picture

And say it all, without saying

But distance does us apart

Can't see those pretty eyes yet

Though this unknown journey is interesting

I want this search to cease, I want our lives to set.

CURRY HAD A LITTLE LAMP

2011-09-26T11:05:00.002+05:30

Finally, the first set of photos of my trip to Brunei & Malaysia are out. I was amazed when I spotted that this basic source of light called 'lamp' were so beautifully designed . Whether a street lamp, or the interior decorating ones, they had a peculiar intricate carving style, yet all the lamps look different! It was an enthralling experience observing these lamps. People actually must have thought I was crazy as I would just abruptly get off the car and randomly start clicking these street wonders.

Clicked with a normal Sony DigiCam, the pictures may not have the SLR depth, so my fellow photographer friends, kindly adjust.

PS: The ones which have a golden body, are actually Gold-Plated. Not Kidding! Sultan of Brunei as everyone knows is the richest man and this was certainly visible in the country.

बस ऐसे ही |

2011-08-21T01:13:00.009+05:30

नैनो ने की थी बातें ऐसी
भूल ना पाएँगे उन्हे कभी
जिस तरह लहरो में सागर है बहता
उन्ह आखों में थी नमी, कुछ ऐसे ही |

पूच्छना चाहा इन होंटोने उन्हे
की आख़िर बात क्या है?
ज़ुबान से बस निकले ही थे कुछ लफ्ज़
पर दिल ने रोक लिया उनको, बस ऐसे ही |

सोचा क्यों और ठेस पहुचाऊं उन् नैनो को
जो जिंदगी से मायूस थीं
चंद लम्हे कुछ न कहकर भी
मेरा सवाल समझ जाए, शायद ऐसे ही |

कुछ लम्हों के बाद उन् नैनो ने कहा मुझसे
कि इस ज़िन्दगी से कुछ शिकायत थी
सब खुशियों को कर लिया हासिल
पर अधूरी से है ये ज़िन्दगी, फिर भी ऐसे ही |

ये सुनकर लबों में आई मेरे मुस्कान
कुछ कहेना चाहती थी मै उन् आँखों को
अगर सब कुछ हो वैसे जैसा आप चाहो
तो क्या होती ज़िन्दगी उतनी ही हसीं, बिलकुल ऐसे ही ?

जैसे रात शबनमी होती है, एक उजाले दिन के बाद,
जैसे होती है बरसात, कड़ी धूप भरे मौसम के बाद
वैसे ही खुशियों को आना ही है
कुछ घड़ियाँ दुःख में बिताने के बाद, हाँ ऐसे ही |

ये अधूरापन ही तो है, जो सपने हासिल करने पर मझबुर करे

देखते ही देखते, हम उन् सपनो को हकीकत में बदलते रहे

अगर होता ही नहीं ये अधूरापन इस जहां में

तो क्या रहती ये आगे बढ़ने कि चाह, सिर्फ ऐसे ही |

(Pardon my written Hindi script. I know I must have made several grammatical and spellings errors.
But since it was my first Hindi attempt, I found it rather difficult to use the regional language tool)

Just Once More...

2011-06-17T01:15:00.001+05:30

Once more

I want to fall in love again
I want to sing that song
The quest so sharp that heart needs harp
To make a tune, too long

Where life was bliss and wonderful
So pure, so cool, so nice
It’s presence made your day & night
While nothing else would suffice

Ever known the way to heaven?
Ever seen those stars in sun?
Those tiny moments that gave goose bumps
Weren’t they cute, innocent & fun?

The plans were big
The moon always bright
I hope I get to see every bit of it
And never let it go, out of sight

Dear love, please come again
I hope to see you soon
I promise to be my ever best
So make yourself my eternal boon

And nature welcomes me in June...

Turning 25 !

2011-03-01T01:58:00.004+05:30

So what's the big deal about BEING 25 anyway?

FYI; Been there done that

I am 25 after all, woohoo howzzat?

Enjoyed childhood, a lil rascal indeed

Had ample of time, 24x7 fun I would breed.

School was not just to pass but score

Even after great marks I would want some more.

Every other friend was almost a best buddy

Would play for hours in the sun, get wet and muddy.

Few cute crushes grew as time passed by

In front of the 'Boys' would feel too shy.

Sometimes those cute boys smiled and winked

Had reached puberty, so no gossip I missed or blinked.

A gang of girls, we laughed n discussed everything

Anyone's PMS meant praying for her well-being.

From love to exams, life was such a big deal

A secret meant a serious pact, our mouths would seal.

Wanted to grow old as adult life seemed too cool

But while stepping into junior college I felt like a fool.

With too many happening people around

Very few friends in common I found.

Most of them were wannabes of the first order

Trying to look good was a common mental disorder.

It didn't matter to them how much one spoke

As long as the so-called friend wasn't broke.

Bunking classes was the ultimate achievement

Talking ill about teachers was the greatest entertainment.

College was only to pass, not score

And every lecture seemed, o' such a bore!

Boys became Guys, Teachers become Profs

Periods became Lectures and Geeks became Dwarfs.

But life found a goal and I became serious finally

By 12th I was back in my senses; had to happen eventually.

Hard work paid off and I entered a new zone

A kick-ass art college with creativity as it's backbone.

I don't think I can ever thank enough

To have lived that life, which never seemed tough.

Everyone was nice, hilarious, arty and adorable

My life was never so better and this comfortable.

Learnt more outside the library sipping chai

Wada Pav was the staple diet, I wonder why?!

Infinite wasting of time every single day

4 years of utter time-pass, I would say.

Each moment was worth it, I still cherish it

But job life changed the scene and I had to live with it.

Working life was totally different and new

Every single day demanded to prove a few.

Ideas, Art, Awards they needed it all

But in that cat race I would often fall.

A crying shoulder is what I wanted the most now

A perfect companion I found in my friend and how.

We spent good times yapping for hours

Life was happy chirpy and smelled like fresh flowers.

Suddenly felt like spring, it was blossom

The term called 'life' indeed was superb and awesome.

Everything seemed perfect like a mannequin in the store

I would often thank God, didn't ask for anything more.

Found a better job too so now life was great

Nothing bad could happen now to my fate.

But as you know destiny plays an important role

And a few dreams shattered which ruined my goal.

It took time for me to rise up again

Shocked & disappointed, my heart was in pain.

Life surely plays the biggest testing games

And thus I had to eradicate a few names.

But that didn't weaken me too much

Fighting back strongly is my nature as such.

I gave time to myself and that helped me come out

From a disaster that made me stronger, no doubt.

Back to normalcy in a few weeks time

Back to my nasty, naughty, the funny one in crime

A better wiser person I have sure become

Waiting for something awesome to strike, interesting ones welcome!

Have diverted my mind into office with dedication

As working hard I found to be the medication.

As pockets fill up, my smile gets bigger

And I love to see the increasing bank account figure.

Obviously I love my life and I love myself yo!

Being 25 couldn't get any better, so many more to go.

While friends are busy getting married or hooked

I have a date with myself, an awesome dream has been booked ;)

☉ ~ Clicketey Click ~ ☉

2011-02-24T00:19:00.006+05:30

My First ever experiment to grab few moments, few monuments, few memories in a serious way. My best friend's wedding was the reason for my much deserved break to Udaipur.

Loved those 4 days of naach-gaana-khaana-peena-band-baja-foto-shoto-shopping-vopping-travelling and most importantly relaxing~

It was my friend Nikhil's camera (Nikon D100) and totally loved the experience.

Here are few pictures of my rookie experiment. Well, few of them are out of focus, few could be just unnecessary too! Pardon my shaky hands and no knowledge about photography. Locations are : Mumbai (home) , Ahmedabad (Adalaj Steps) & Lots of Udaipur.

So presenting my clicketey time. Oh and now I have to rhyme.

A photo is a memory to cherish. As these moments from mind won't perish!

Irshaad..Irshaad :D

Its that time of the year...

2010-12-31T10:18:00.000+05:30

When we look back at what happened the whole year.

When we try analyzing what went wrong.

When we smile thinking at the funny and pleasant moments we spent with others.

When we get amazed at how quickly the year went.

When we decide to make some changes in our daily routine.

When we regret few steps and revive some moments.

When we plan for some resolutions (which won't be followed for more than a week).

When we think of how we could settle down in life.

When we set some targets to be achieved exactly in the next 365 days.

When we celebrate the remaining last few days with our favourite ones, family and friends.

When we certainly wouldn't want to be alone, but if we are, it's a good time to spend some 'ME' moments.

When we want to party, have some chilled beer, step up and move our feet.

When we feel the good vibes are flowing around.

When we experience a sudden optimistic vision in our minds & hearts.

When we want to smile, feel happy and wish it remains like this the entire coming year or rather the whole life!

All Smiles To 2011 :)

Another year passes by...

2010-12-18T02:23:00.004+05:30

So, one more year coming to an end. 

2010 - A year filled with rather all possible emotions. A whole movie could be made for this year, if my life is taken as the key subject in the script. Is fillum mein action, drama hai, comedy  hai, emotions, suspense, dhak dhak, dard, khushi, gum, paisa, kangaal, naya ghar, purane rishtey, naye rishtey, fights, shouts, rona dhona aur super music ka zabarsast combination hai. Ye film mein sabkuch hai, isiliye zara 'hatke' hai!

I have never had such a roller coaster ride before in my life. 2010, has indeed been a benchmark for my maturity, stability and the birth of a new, improved and fresh curry...Ready to be dipped, as always! (Ok, i was highly paid by a publication house to write about my maturity and self development. I usually don't praise myself, do i :D)

I define 2010 as an antonym of emotions:

A day in my life...

2010-12-08T00:58:00.000+05:30

Days are good
Days are bad
Some make us happy
Some leave us sad
What makes us different
Is how we deal with it
We either sulk in distress
Or find a way to live with it

Into the Stars ✭ ✭ ✭

2010-11-23T17:59:00.003+05:30

I'm going to the stars,

You can come along...

Where the skies are blue

Too good to be true...

I'm going to the stars,

I can be there for long... 

Coz the peace is inviting,

And the air's fragrantly pure...

I'm going to the stars,

Where the dreams meet you... 

And you feel that gush of bliss,

Along with nature's kiss...

I'm going to the stars,

So blue yet so bright...

Serene and shining all throughout,

Shall erase all my troubles out...

I'm going to the stars,

To sink in the twilight...

Wont care to come back,

Once I find that one bright star...

☼ ♥ Madhu Chandra - Honey Moon ♥ ☼

2010-11-10T17:10:00.000+05:30

Imagine a conversation between two newly married aliens.

What would THEY call their honeymoon ?

Guess they would literally go on the moon to do coochy-coo.

Or wait a minute... Would they even have a moon like we, the cute lil earthlings do?

Please don't keep wondering, don't waste your time thinking for an answer to this million dollar question. It really doesn't matter! I just made some random art and usually write at least something about it, no matter what. So pakaayaa.

Date Vate

2010-10-29T03:55:00.006+05:30

Chalo jaayein hum date pe,

Gaadi nahi toh rickshaw se

Jaakar kahi hotel mein

Khaayen peeye bhar pet se

Thandi beer aur rasili wine se

Shurwaat kare hum shaam

Chicken lollipop paneer chilli

Ke baad bahot aaram

Dhakaar aaye toh zara rokiyo!

Accha nahi yoon karna

Impression jamaana hai bhai

Nahi hai humko marna

Abh hotel ke baad next kya?

Chalo karte hai garden mein sair

Phool patte jhaadi aur hum

Naughty na baniyo, its not fair!

Arre dekho baarish aa gayi

Bheegne mein aaye bada mazza

Chhatri ka kya kaam yahaan?

Zara zukaam se de do khudko sazaa

Phir chalein hum samundar ki ore

Wah! kitna breezy hai yahaan

Kuch geet gaaye , thoda naache bhi

Ekdum romantic ho jaye wahaan

Uh oh ghar jaane ka aa gaya time

Phir kab miloge ye mat poochna

Kal hi miltey hai kisi aur jagah

Milkar kya karenge ye zaroor sochna ;)

Someday it rained.

Someday it was breezy.

Someday it splashed.

Someday it was dry and easy.

It knew I was coming.

Always gave me a warm welcome.

The endless horizon & dancing waters,

Always helped me overcome

As if it knew my pains.

As if it knew I needed a hug

With it's wide arms stretched to no limit,

It helped me fight the worry-bug.

When I walked on it's sand,

It tickled me, brought back my smile.

We were accompanied by the rhythmic waves.

We sang, whistled, plunged & enjoyed the mile.

Only there, I found solace.

Only there, I found the real me, no one else around.

The sheer fact of taking a stroll there,

Would pep me up the whole day round.

It made sure I had the best time

It made sure my frown was gone.

With those positive vibes and beautiful quotes,

It saw to it that I moved on.

Here I am, much better, wiser & stronger.

Waiting for another walk by the beach.

With so much treasure to share & spread,

I'll wait for it to embrace me again and teach !

Sundartaa = Ek Abhishaap :P

2010-09-02T17:53:00.007+05:30

Jiska mann sundar,
Woh dikhne mein bandar!

Jo dikhne mein sundar,

Dama dum mast kalandar,
Thumbs up, taste the thunder!

How?

2010-08-10T14:35:00.006+05:30

How to forget the past?

How to live in the present with a smile?

How to not worry about the future?

How to ignore the failure?

How to embrace the current situation?

How to believe in destiny?

How to forgive the sinner?

How to expect nothing?

How to accept everything?

How to not cry for what's gone?

How to simply move on?

A-D-D-I-C-T-I-O-N

2010-07-02T17:58:00.013+05:30

Addicted? Accept it. Fight it. Get over it damn it!

The dictionary meaning of this word is "being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming". In rather simple words, it means an abnormally strong craving.

Ok, full marks for that. So what? We all know what it means. Why am I preaching then?
Well, I am simply laying my thoughts out of experience here!

Being committed to something is like an addiction. Be it to drugs, alcohol, internet, work or even people. But there's a slight difference between being 'attached' and 'addicted'. You don't get addicted to everything you are attached to. But yes, you are attached to things you are addicted to. It takes a while to realize that this habitual dependency on something/someone is rather more serious than mere attachment . The moment of realization occurs when this habit is suddenly cut-off without prior notice and you become restless. Sometimes your brain functions only the way you want to, ignoring the after effects. So here, you start getting withdrawal symptoms. And trust me, they can make your life hell. You start regretting. You start thinking why the hell did you even get addicted to something so unworthy. Yes, you finally accept you are an addict. Someone who is so ardently devoted to something that life without it becomes completely impossible. This abrupt deprivation of the substance produces certain negative energy making you weak; psychologically, physically and emotionally.

You feel hopeless without it.
You feel useless in this world suddenly.
You feel like giving up on life.
You feel like a fool to have been involved in it.
You feel compulsively restless.
You feel helpless like never before.
You feel your core existence is so meaningless.

You want it back. And quicker than ASAP! Gosh, how do I deal with this? Why did I get into it at the first place? Where is the CTRL + Z button when u need it? Or SHIFT + DELETE would be an even better option. I didn't know I was running behind a hypnotizing vicious circle. Your mind is blocked. Everything is blank. You see no future and you don't want to remember the past. You are compelled to heal in the present but you want to run away. The horizon seems farther, the sky looks wider and you can literally count every second of life. Time just doesn't seem to pass. Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease which traps your mind and controls it. Because it was omnipresent. The more you try running away, the more you crave for it, unknowingly. The very thought of being away from that one dear thing you thought gave you energy and purpose to live gives you shiver. But heck o' life, how can I just cease my contact with it, when I thrived on it for so long?

Every problem has solution. It may not be the simplest treatment but then who says life is an easy cup of cake? In reality you cannot have it unless you make an effort. At every step of life you have to prove yourself. Sometimes to your family, to your boss or to your dear one. Can't you, for a change prove yourself; for yourself?? Think about the mind which has been dedicated to you since you came in this world. Think of the organs which helped you live every moment. Think of the tiny little heart which made your days all throughout. For a change be selfish and just think about yourself. You will eventually find the 'one' way of fighting this addiction.

I am still searching for mine. My waiting eyes are drooping, tired and watery but haven't given up. One day will come, and this too shall pass.

I will conquer...................................................................................................................

It Hurts

2010-06-06T19:13:00.013+05:30

It hurts.
It hurts big time.
When you know things won't be the same again.
When you know life will change.

It hurts.
It hurts a lot.
When you know your dreams are shattered.
When you know the plans will never be implemented.

It hurts.
It hurts way too much.
When you see everything going wrong.
When you know this wasn't supposed to happen.

It hurts.
It hurts like hell.
When you suddenly feel lost & lonely.
When you never really wanted it that way.

It hurts.
It hurts like a cutting sword.
When you see no future, no ray of hope.
When you feel like a fool to have been so dedicated.

It hurts.
It hurts like a choking throat.
When you know you'll take time to move on.
When you know this time, this phase hates you.

It hurts.
It hurts tremendously.
When you know you ought to accept the situation.
When you know waiting is no solution.

It hurts.
It hurts like burning coal.
When you see someone else in that place.
When you know only you are getting hurt.

It hurts.
It hurts like a pinch during day dreaming.
When you have to make yourself stronger and harder.
When you know you weren't at fault yet face what you don't deserve.

It hurts.
But it heals.
Keep hopes in mind and things will change.
You'll be happy again just give it time.

It won't hurt again.
Have faith in yourself and in God.
C'mon life doesn't end here for sure.
You have a long way to go, so keep it cool.

It will hurt less if you smile.
Try staying happier, it ain't as difficult as it seems.
Once more you'll be the same, jolly & gay
After all, you gotta go a long way!

When music comes alive ♪

2009-07-17T18:00:00.018+05:30

♪ When music comes alive,
It just keeps flowing
It makes us jive
Whilst a smile keeps showing.

♪ When music comes alive,
Makes an 80 year-old groove,
It lifts us right
It makes us move.

♪ When music comes alive,
We shut our mind
Just get into the mood
Where solace we find.

♪ When music comes alive,
One is never alone
It is so power-packed
The world gets blown.

♪ When music comes alive,
Everything seems in place
It pushes us to survive
And keeps us at ace.

♪ When music comes alive,
It spreads the bright light
The more we hear it
The more we feel alright.

♪ When music comes alive,
It spreads optimistic vibe
Music is the key to unwind
Its spirit hard to describe!

LIKE I CARE !!!!!

Like I Care !

How does it matter if a guy wears pink?

How can u term someone ^pervert^ by a mere wink!

Why can’t a guy have long undone hair?

Or an un-waxed girl who looks like a bear.

Who made this word ‘etiquette’ so mandate?

Why can’t I laze around n start my day late?

Like I care if I don’t have matching shoes

Why the heck should I follow the don’ts n do’s?

I like to make noise while eating

I like to snore aloud while sleeping

I like disturbing the whole world with my sneeze

But hate to apologize later with an excuse-me please!

Why can’t I just be myself?

Why can’t I have an unorganized shelf?

Why can’t I keep hogging without getting fat?

Why do I need to be as clean-freak as a cat?

Why do all decide what’s good for me, but me?

Why can’t I simply take a break from the outer-me?

Why do I need to fake drink in front of my boss?

Why the hell should I always worry about job-loss?

Why can’t I be poor?

What’s the need to always lure?

How can others predict my future?

While claiming me as immature!

Heck I care, who was with my neighbour last night!

Heck I care why the dumb celebrities fight!

Why exaggerate everything as Breaking News?

Why grab attention like a bursting fuse?

I repeat, it doesn’t matter to me if I fail

To forward those forwarded emails

I know what’s more important in life,

So please don’t act as a cynical blunt knife...

Because I really don’t care

Nor do I need a proof to dare

Something stupid just to impress you all

Like I care if I you see me fall!

1...2...buckle my shoe??!?! naah.......

Ever tried playing with the "ever-green" nursery rhymes in a different way? Imagine, if you had to re-portray those rhymes in today's world. Well, the result may be good, funny or smart or a disaster(a complete rip-off of wonderful & innocent cute lil poems) but u can sure give a shot :D

One more suggested by a friend of mine, it's not my original though:
Jack & Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pale of water
Jill forgot to take the pill
And now they have a daughter!!

What the @#$!!%&#@!

Taw-Pick: Gaa-Lee-zZz

Well, I recently observed something really funny in the train, where 2 college chicks were arguing with a fisher-woman!

It was quite easy for the "machhi wali" to start the abusive conversation, she went on giving all the a-z gaalis fed in her dictionary, while the 2 girls tried their best to over-power her by giving few and power-less, thakela gaalis in English, which did not even carry any potential.
Result: The machhi wali won the war, even though she was wrong as she should have travelled in the luggage compartment. BUT WHO CAN MESS WITH THESE NAVVAARI SAREE CLAD PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY STRONG WOMEN? :D
The college chicks lost, because they didn't have the knack of how they could abuse the woman without even actually using the obvious words, making themselves feel less guilty about their acts.

Here I am, with something I concluded from that war. It's about how people can use alternatives for abusive words. Ever wondered how to abuse a person, you wanna badly give "gaalis" to, without actually offending him/her??

Below are the "vishesh tippanis" folks ;) am sure you all follow some bits of it, unconsciously! :D

*oh FREAK!!! (a better alternative for the "f" word

*oh FISH!!! (another one)

*what the hell!!! (c'mon,i know u want to use the "f" word :P)

*what the F! (even better)

*u r a Bloody Bean!!! (everyone knows what a she-dog means)

*Aye, saale PENCHOR!!! (the lip movements are more than enough here, no need of sound)

*He is such a chu... (yeah right, 3 letters are just fine)

*Shut up, CUSTARD!! (err, we know the B-word here, Sir!)

*BC..MC.. These abbreviations are actually easier to say, and imply less insult to the listener.

*Maa ki Jai ( well, better than specifying the eye!)

*Son of a Beast (lol, like we don't know what beast means here! :P )

Well, somehow I have also seen that it's easier to give English Gaalis like F***, a**hole or bas****, (which are most commonly used) compared to their Hindi counterparts.
Don't know why, but they somehow sound worse in Hindi! English feels less offending.. hehe!!
Please suggest some more if you've heard them, lets add on to this great Knowledge! Let there be light !

ps: Definition of Gaa-Lee-Yaa : “Gaalis” are a good stress buster when someone is annoyed :P

Retro Revival : My love for that golden era...

2008-09-07T01:24:00.012+05:30

R-E-T-R-O

The new techni-coloured era,
which has surpassed the black n white
Retro is what people are
Its how people shout, dance and strut about

Retro is what people wear
How people wine and dine
How they spend their time
In trying to make themselves shine

Retro is as cool as a mint green cucumber
as hot as scarlet burning coal
Retro is as subtle as baby pink
its an era of extreme goals

The hysterical event that began
With bold gypsy carefree mind
Is what is termed as retrospective
a complete new fresh phase of its kind

A period of 70s and 80s,
yet doesn't feel like history
because retro is never-ending
and its halt is a big mystery

Because wherever i go, i see retro
where attitude was chilled and at ease
such a strong influential phenomena
which just doesn't seem to cease...

My Super Mom!!

2008-09-06T15:09:00.010+05:30

My Super Mom!

Always wondered how you do it,
From morning to midnight, you are on your toes,
The ultimate multi-tasker in the human kind,
That's you mumma, and it sure shows!

Never seen a freckle on your face,
Never have I heard a "No" in any case.
"Sure dear, I'll help" is what you always say
to Everything that comes your way.

When you embrace me with a hug
I can feel the unconditional warmth in it
You exactly know when i need you,
And what emotions in me lie beneath.

How do you understand me so well?
Even when I seldom share...
How do you help in times of trouble;
On times when anyone else wouldn't dare!

Oh mom, you are the greatest mumma
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.

I go on with my problems,
to which u patiently give solutions
You're my cushion when I fall.
You support me whenever I call.

When times were good u smiled,
When times were worst you smiled
When i cry, you console me with a smile
When you cried, you still smiled.

Will I ever become like you?
So selfless, tender, patient, yet a fighter
Always showering unconditional love
And making the heavy moments lighter

I love your killer smile, your innocence
Everything about you, is so beautiful!
I love you so much; more than I can express;
My dearest mom, you are the most wonderful!

I Can't Write

2008-07-26T01:48:00.009+05:30

I can't write well..I cannot write good stuff..i cant write..i don't know how to write..i cant write at all..i am unable to express in writing the fact that i cannot write..i can't write n stuff..i can't write philosophy, spirituality, formal English, nice prose n poetry, nice sense-making write-ups, opening your eyes and self-realization tips, health tips, art of living tips, preachy tips, inspiring contents or any such "good nice decent and realllyyy ossom stuff"..so basically, i can't write. Yes, u heard it, i cant write. I can't write. I can't write. I can't write. I can't write. I can't write. I can't write. I can't write. I can't write. Oh ya, and did i tell you, that..I can't write?? I can't write. I can't write. I can't write. And the truth is that I can't write. I can't write!

How come you are still reading this crap?? Lol... I really can't write!

This reminds of a very funny punishment which was given in school..We were supposed to write this on the blackboard, say about hundred times (Even though if at that age, we didn't know how to count till hundred, haha).. A tribute to that 'holy punishment, with which i was always blessed'

" I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class" " I will not talk in the class!"

oh I so wished there existed "ctrl c+ ctrl v" during those punishment hours!!

Because...not just now, but even then, i couldn't write. Simply because i can't write..Ya, didn't you know that i cant write? I CAN'T write! Coz i really can't write. I can't write and i can't write!

2008-07-25T00:54:00.005+05:30

"The Green Maze" is what i call it.
A design created by me on photoshop, its something so abstract and vague, that writing about it would be unnecessary and vague too! Hehe!

All i know is that, its green because it feels like a plant with its branches growing and coming out. Or, it seems to be like a jumbled up path with various outlets!

Oh Damn, what the hell am i talking?

Plz let the design do the talking instead, and u can come up with any (or no) meaning for it...lol ;)

I AM HAPPY TODAY!

I am Happy...
As it rained today after 20 odd days!
Not only because i like rains,
but coz Mumbai badly needs to get drenched,
to quench the thirst of its overpopulated family!

I am Happy...
As I had absolutely no work in office,
In the name of RnD, i have surfed the net all day,
In the name of a "break" i have played games,
In the name of self study, i have simply sketched!

I am Happy...
As i could leave from office early!
I could get wet in the beautiful rains,
Could hop through the dirty puddles,
Could reach home early and chill!

I am Happy...
Coz i spent superb time with "myself"
The "space" u need sometimes, only for yourself,
The time u want to be alone, doing nothing,
The time u just wanna stare at the sky,
The time u wanna gaze at the mirror for long!

I am Happy...
Coz i cracked a few jokes and spread the humor
And people actually laughed at those!
Their smiles made me smile...
Their stress got a bit busted, and so did mine!

I am Happy...
Since i listened to my favorite numbers!
And while i did so, i whistled and clapped...
From Kishore da to coldplay, from rehman to green day
I heard them all, enjoyed them all, hummed them all!

I am Happy...
As i was really so happy!
One of the very rare days, when,
I didn't crib or got frustrated
How many days go like that?
There's some or the other problem everyday!
And if there isn't, we create them
Simply because, man is never satisfied.
Wants everything. And when he gets everything, he doesn't realize it!
Still wants more. The want may be superficial.
The want may be unwanted, the want may be illogical.
But still he wants, wants and wants!

But I am Happy...
Coz i got what i wanted!
From rains to a stress-free day,
I had it all!
Not just that, but i also updated my blog!
Not just the blog, but I also read a book!
Not just the book, but I also cooked a bit!
Not just the food, but I also had sketched!
Dude! Am i the ultimate multitasker??
Oh yes i am..sure i am! And so I am happy.

I am Happy...
Because you read my blog.
You ACTUALLY did!
Oh i am so lucky,
and indeed very happy.
More happy coz i cud stay happy the whole day
Yippieeee! I am happy ..oh so Happy!

who me is...

2008-05-23T16:50:00.009+05:30
