I lay myself on that cool white sand and look at the stars
The stars at play in the dark sky I see, oblivion a blurr
Sitting myself up I feel the breeze, as it whispers in my ear
Those chills it sends over my skin, keen to let me know
I wake on that sand and sit [...]

Innocent are those eyes, deep in them I see a wonderful friend
The smile could take the breath away, i can lose my self in them
Hope to be there in troubled times are rife, though no cares of the world
Why may I doubt the intention, care I need the least?
As i walk the untrodden path, the [...]

Day in day out there is this lurking shadow I see
Its mine though I feel its someone I know not
Weeks on end I feel it feeding on me
Its as though I feed the air
Created though out of our own imagination
A figment that make the greatest fall to pieces, and the smallest capitalize
We love to keep [...]

As the hot paranthas were being served at our favourite eat out, we were in deep discussion, it seemed we could not come to a consensus on whether love was blind (as the proverb goes) or for that matter foolish. The practicality of being in love was not part of the discussion, since we all knew [...]

I remember a time when everything looked like bliss from that point of view. It is a class room filled with individuals i had the least idea about. There is a breeze blowing outside, and it seems it will rain in a while. The clouds are thundering and i am blissfully writing something [...]

Half drowsy in my senses I was oblivious to the fact that there were people burning something in the middle of the road in front of the Patna Junction, and the driver of the vehicle was moving at break neck speed honking continuously at anyone on the road. How did I get here, or more [...]

Got back to the ole place I call my hostel, waited for Friends to have food, then we decided to go for a cuppa of coffee. With the cool breeze that was indicating the end of a season of what must be the coldest weather Mumbai has seen, we walked towards the coffee shack. That’s [...]
