In name of Honor

Today morning in the news paper I read about the killing of one of the journalist in Delhi. Previously it was assumed to be a suicide as she was found hanging in her own house. But when police tried to uncover the story they came to know that this was actually a murder. The culprit behind this was her own parents. The journalist actually had an affair with one of her batch mate in college and wanted to marry him. She was also supposedly pregnant with his child. But the guy was from a lower caste and so her parents were not agreeing to this marriage. The parents however argued that they had to protect their honor. This brutal and sad story made me think what could be the state of the mind of a father doing such a thing. Tried to pen down the dialog, that maybe the father would have wanted to say.

My Gurl, My Gurl

How do you do?

I know there were less troubles

The time when you grew

I gave you all the teaching

A wise man could prove

But the things that you did

Were very gruesome and untrue

Outside in the world

You started bringing your own cues

You questioned the rituals

And other people’s purview

The shape of the society

You started to askew

You actions left me scattered

With only consequences left for review

So I have to sit down

And question my own virtue

For all the things I did

Now hovers like a taboo

Everyone questions me

And think I am your lieu

Hence I have to do something

For my own rescue

Your shameful deeds

Had to be outdoed

I never wanted to but

Options with me were very few

I had to protect my Honor

For that I don’t rue

Old will always be there

There is really no place for the new

My Today

Every morning I get up with two thoughts in my mind

The demons of the past and what lays ahead in time

In this tussle of past and future my present is left behind

But now I have decided to make things a little less sublime

What has gone,has gone and happened in its prime

No use to sit back,cry and question all the time

The lessons learned the hard way but now need to wind

But today's chapter is still open so let me commit my crime

What will happen,will happen it is He who sings the rhyme

There ain't really no stitch that can save the nine

No matter how hard i think or try the control is not mine

But today's chapter is still open so let me commit my crime

Yesterday affects today affects tomorrow and it works in this outline

There was a today in past and it will again be used for future to define

So the crimes committed today are only for that frame of time

And when you carry it forward you cry forever and whine

Ash ko mein...

Yuhi kuch sawaalo ke jawab

Dhundta phirta hu main

Ash ko mein jeeta hu, dosto

Ash ko mein palta hu

Kyu, Kab, Kaise, Kaha

Jaanne ki tamana rakta hu

Par jaan kar aakir inka karu kya

Issi soch mein har waqt bikarta rehta hu

Chahu agar tho har sawalo ke jawab khoj du

Par unka saamna karne se thoda darta hu

Ash ko mein jeeta hu, dosto

Ash ko mein palta hu

Kafi waqt guzaar gaya

Bhag bhaga mera sab kuch bhigad gaya

Thehrav sa aa jaye

Kismat bhi ullaj jaye

Sabhi ko suljane ki himmat rakta hu

Ashko mein jeeta hu, dosto

Ashko mein palta hu

To let go

Ten thousands stars

And beneath I lie

Wanna snatch one down

But away it flies

No matter what

How hard I cry

Times change

But that hope never dries

A day will come

When my tears will shy

I don't want to

Still I ask myself Why

But I promise one thing

Before the goodbye

Will move on till again I fall

And again I try

Beyond the Secret

Today i will tell you

One very important secret

For all the good and all the bad

We are ourself the culprit

So lets not stop for the past

For the future to come today has to exit

Don't wait for someone to raise the curtain

Cut the threads and release the puppets

All the choices to be happy

Nothin is hidden but served in palate

All you need to do is make your choice

And then make it a habit

There is more to life..Beyond the Secret

God,III

You told me about God
And the concept of pain
And I Believed

You told me about Nutopia
And the county I never imagined
And I Believed

You told me about the Mind
And the games people play
And I Believed

You told me about the Truth
And the way people make it sick
And I Believed

You told me about the Karma
And the instant it gets you
And I Believed

You told me about Peace
And giving it a chance
And I Believed

You told me about the working Heroes
And the agony they control
And I Believed

I Believed it in all
And followed you around

And then one day
I heard from you
“I don’t Believe in Beatles
Yoko I only believe in You"

The reality you said
Is “I Believe in Me”

Stuck me hard

And so I agree

From now on

I will change all my Beliefs

I also want to be a Hero

But I won't follow you
From Now on, anymore
I don’t believe in You

Hold on

As days passed by
Things will change
Your magic over me
Will never be the same
I know it's a struggle
That I'll have to face
But getting over it
Is today my aim
