The coolness of the moonlight
That shines in the dark blue sky tonight
Is trying hard; unsuccessful though
To create the magic
Like your smile bestows
The moon out there is trying hard
To give its best
But its efforts are scarred
Creating magic is not that easy
And whatever it does ends bleakly
But one thing the full moon
Out there doesn’t know
The lord made you much before
And since then has sat and reclined
To enjoy the beauty that he defined!

The Crossroads
Stuck at the crossroad again
Don’t know from where it came
I skipped all the paths
I had taken before
To be cautious this time
But the new way that I found
Although different in appearance
Leaded me to the same point
Without any finite ends
Without any good choices
I am ended again with the same troubles
I am ended again with the same problems
I am ended again with the same miseries
I am ended again with the same indecisiveness
I am ended again with the same situation
Which I wanted to avoid
Which I wanted to run away from
Which I wanted not to face
But Stuck at the crossroad again
Don’t know from where it came
Don’t know from where it came
I skipped all the paths
I had taken before
To be cautious this time
But the new way that I found
Although different in appearance
Leaded me to the same point
Without any finite ends
Without any good choices
I am ended again with the same troubles
I am ended again with the same problems
I am ended again with the same miseries
I am ended again with the same indecisiveness
I am ended again with the same situation
Which I wanted to avoid
Which I wanted to run away from
Which I wanted not to face
But Stuck at the crossroad again
Don’t know from where it came

LAFS
Who believes in love at first sight?
I didn’t; its true
But then when you walked; passed by
Questions were raised in this purview
The first time I saw you
The glint in your eyes blinded my soul
Your dad was also around
So I had to just control
When we crossed our paths
The very next day
The smile you throwed
Played inside me Bob Marley’s reggae
I wanted one opportunity
And I got that night
Chatting with you
Trying to get a “healthy” insight
You told about your birthday
I thought I would surprise
Trying to make an impression
Dammit I forgot there were other guys
In search of more time
Couple of days ran through
Every night in that baddy court
I never did find you
The way I first messaged
I didn’t go by the rules of the game
I was desperate and
My anxieties got my logic tamed
The way things went ahead
I got so confused
To do or not to do
That night I sent the message and snoozed
The very next morning
Uncertain of what the future holds
I wrote this poem
The entire situation behold
I don’t know what will happen
Henceforth and may
But my idea is to read this poem
Sitting besides you one day
This dream one day
May govern my entire life
But my question still remains
Do you believe in love at first sight?
I didn’t; its true
But then when you walked; passed by
Questions were raised in this purview
The first time I saw you
The glint in your eyes blinded my soul
Your dad was also around
So I had to just control
When we crossed our paths
The very next day
The smile you throwed
Played inside me Bob Marley’s reggae
I wanted one opportunity
And I got that night
Chatting with you
Trying to get a “healthy” insight

Trying to make an impression
Dammit I forgot there were other guys

I didn’t go by the rules of the game

My anxieties got my logic tamed
The way things went ahead

To do or not to do
That night I sent the message and snoozed
The very next morning
Uncertain of what the future holds

The entire situation behold

This dream one day
May govern my entire life
But my question still remains
Do you believe in love at first sight?

Gift
Wanted to give something special
I sat to think what to do
Not many things came to my mind
And the time just flew
Wondering what can be done
Ideas just didn’t brew
Your friendship means so much
Hence this I couldn’t blew
To give you something special
I had to come up with something to askew
It had to be my style
And something I am much into
Books are something I love
I guess you always knew
This story I always wanted
You to read and review
Its about friendship
Ours was in my purview
I hope it last forever
And we never say adieu
I sat to think what to do
Not many things came to my mind
And the time just flew
Wondering what can be done
Ideas just didn’t brew
Your friendship means so much
Hence this I couldn’t blew
To give you something special
I had to come up with something to askew
It had to be my style
And something I am much into
Books are something I love
I guess you always knew
This story I always wanted
You to read and review
Its about friendship
Ours was in my purview
I hope it last forever
And we never say adieu

Our "Best" Tie
This tie maybe more colorful
But the “tie” that bonds us is much more longer
This tie may touch very soft
But our “tie” is harsh and much more stronger
This tie will bond you
To things that you always wanted or not
But I know for sure
Our tie has always been the one
That liberated each one of us
This tie may fade away one day
But our tie will shine on even when it will grow older!
But the “tie” that bonds us is much more longer

That liberated each one of us
This tie may fade away one day
But our tie will shine on even when it will grow older!

Our little fights
Throughout Day and throughout the Night
Ours talks were random but never polite
The way we both put our side
Looked like a big armored fistfight
The discussion took less time to ignite
You with you and I with might
But one thing for sure we both realized
It was always fun and our rite
With you now gone out of my sight
It will take me some time to respite
Whatever I do, despite
Things will become a little offwhite
Those fun and times in my hindsight
Tell me now
With whom am I now going to fight?
With whom am I now going to fight??

The dying art of conversation
Face2face--Letters--Telephone--Emails--Chats--Scraps--Status Updates--Tweets--?
As time has passed by we have seen a lot of development around us. The above line is best example of the chronology of development that has been witnessed by us. From the era when writing letters were the most convenient form of communication we moved to the invention of telephones which changed the world drastically. By telephone we were able to contact and communicate with any person living anywhere in the world. However if we thought at that moment that telephone was the greatest invention that we had then what would have said about the internet?
The internet was again able to drastically affect our communication patterns. First came the email. This gave us the feel of a letter but one which can reach a person instantly. It was faster in travelling that even a telephone. Further updates to the technology like chats and social networking really changed the way we communicate in a world today. It helped us to not only select with whom we communicate but also deselect people with whom we don't want to! While writing this down today there is only one thought in my mind. What will happen tomorrow? What would be the new form of communication that I would be using in my day to day life?
But the technological development not only changed how we communicate but also how "much" we communicate? Imagine the endless face to face communication we use to have to the status updates which are generally much much smaller in comparison. Or remember the length of the letter that we might have received atleast once in life, which surely ran for pages, to the 140 character tweets that we receive today. So the technology change is not only affecting the medium of our communication. It is also affecting the message of the communication. The message which has always been the centre of communication. The one that matters the most is being changed and twisted to support the medium that we use. What makes me worry is only one thought. Is this what we really wanted? Technology is always looked as something which makes our life easy and simple. But can we afford a simplicity which is affecting the subject. Is Simplicity elimination of complexity?
What I feel is with the message being changed is affecting our ability to communicate which results in lost of motivation. I still remember the endless talks I use to have with friends who were in USA telling them about what was happening in my life and knowing about theirs. Then we started chatting everyday and letting the other person know about all the details of our day to day life first hand. It felt like tremendous power. You know about something that happened with the other person on the very same day. As we knew all of the things about the people then what started happening was during telephone conversation we were stuck by the "Aur Kya?" syndrome, which I personally feel is the worst kind and the most dangerous syndrome. It is the syndrome when you don't have much to talk to the other person and have lost the motivation to talk. But you cannot hang up because you just cannot.
The power of twitter and other social media is to give us updates about the ones we care and also about the ones we don't instantly. But this is fueling more to the Aur Kya syndrome! I feel this is making our conversations very hollow as well as shallow! Conversations have been the most important form of entertainment that has made us survive for so many generations. This is what distinguishes a man from not only animals but also from other men. What we have not realized is that over years all these developments have acted like slow poison. No doubt it has helped us in many forms but the end results if we see is not something that we ever wanted!
