Bombay Bombay !!

                Its been a while that I have been living here now. And I promise I have never seen a city so electric. Everybody is a star here and yea everybody has an urge to be successful !! Yesterday I met a man , he sold us two packets of lays and charged extra rs 10 just because we bought it at marine drive, on asking he says ,
                "Toh kya hua saab, aap toh paisa kamate ho na itna, mereko bhi aamir banneka hai. "
It doesn't surprise me though because Bombay does gives you wings, Wings to fly to the gateway of dreams & the vigor to chase them.
               Everyday I see the city reborn for a several times, as the day seeps into the beautiful Arabian sea.
''Arabian sea '' I somehow find the name magical.Like I could find a hidden treasure or mermaids or pearls on its shore... I find her occupied in the mornings, busy in the afternoons, a mixture of cheer and tire in the evenings and sexy at nights.
               When it comes to liking a place , I like to call people 'the sea people' and the 'mountain people' because it always ultimately comes down to which place do u want to go back to when you think of home.
For me it has always been the sea. I like the sand slipping underneath the feet when you stand at the shore,the salty smell, the damp air, the sunsets and sunrises, the conspiring sky and water at the horizon and Oh My! My! the sound of the waves at the shore..
               Bombay is beautiful(i somehow like the name bombay, more than mumbai) ! I would even call her extravagant ! Her art deco buildings , the wide streets , the trees which do not seem sparse before the hoard of vechicles, the sea link and the feeling you get when you get your head out of the car's window to see the suspended strings falling behind..the sky scrapers , and the markets !
              These days I see myself falling for her..hopelessly, madly !! I stay here or otherwise, she would always be the first city I fell in love with. She gives me a high keeps me soaring ..At times, even makes me feel beautiful ,stylish...

thoughts

"  Sometimes you don't want to be anywhere near tangible,but disappear. And appear at a completely unknown ,unseen platform.At thoughtlessness. And you get there and you realize you still cannot sleep.Maybe the pang of not knowing what you feel is way too much to be able to sleep. 

Thoughts follow the code of book. Code of perfectly straight pages of a virgin book. The way they become crooked around the corners with the passing time and you simply find them too stubborn , to give in to your frustration, of not able to bend them right! 


They, the thoughts are stubborn. Unyielding . Perspective less. Nasty. Good. Bad. Tender. Harsh. Gentle.



  • They do everything but heed you! "

lets meet someday

Maybe we should meet someday,
we wouldn't talk about what happened,
who went wrong,
who forgave , who held on..
I think taking a walk would be a better idea.
By then,
maybe you would agree that quiet 
does not cut the wings of conversation,
that distances do not create voids.
Maybe i would start laughing abruptly,
followed by your confused gaze,
i will tell you a memory recollected 
and this time we would crack together,
out loud !
Ask about each other's children,
talk about us looking different..
And possibly get lost in some thought,
probably the thought of 'us'...
or of the lost years or maybe the silence 
would just mean a delicate understanding.
And then we may part, hoping for some other day...
The eyes wont well up, the tears wont splash.
Perhaps they will just absorb.
The moment!.
Its splendor!

ethereal meeting

Pointless strolls.
Soundless sobs.
A reasonable anguish.
Ethereal meeting.

Gushing airs.

Snuggled silences
me and you
fragrances mingle.
Unanswered questions.
Not intruding anymore.
Meaningless whispers.
Ethereal meeting.

A delicate touch.

Eyes translucent.
Vain restrain.
Ethereal meeting. 

years bygone


Wrinkles on face have begun
speaking of lessons learnt ...
And eyes of lessons absorbed...
A ballad with time all these years...
Trying to customize things ...
Folding and unfolding of actions
forcing to encounter an unknown
uncertainity... sometimes...
Strange...
A selfish being has begun to search
for traces of sincerity...
And sincere, of notoriety...
Of laughter and silence...
Of sorrow and happiness,
One is prisoner!
Addicted to change the picture of life...
perfect or imperfect
time after time...
Yes,
Wrinkles on face have begun
speaking of lessons learnt ...
And eyes of lessons absorbed...

secrets

Few things are best kept unsaid...
A secret from your own self...
Tongue held,eyes closed...
become companion...
This deceit with your own 
feelings giving a full stop, 
to an otherwise unending debate
between right and wrong...
Its good to remain a fool..ignorant...
To be aloof from the catacombs of 
an over burdened night...
For it lures to think...
In the backdrop of a misty evening, 
Its better to be just lying down...
And wonder about the eternal
sane conspiration of the cosmos above
and caress your insane mind...

a dream

So beautiful to be fondled in your dream's arms..
I blink slowly...
Immersing as much as I could in the vastness of their wings..
For I know of no boundaries there..I can fly..gladly...
Trying to reach the safest haven on my ground..
Trying to touch my reveries...
Oh Lord...Thank you..You endowed me with dreams!
Where I soar..and vaporise..where i sob my noiseless sobs
And smile my silent smile...
Where I try to see you..and get closer...
Where I don't blabber..don't search for words...
Where my eyes read out my poetry for you
and my frail words do not wander in search of expression...
