WheN aLL HopE FadES

When the winds of love slowly die down

The path to me is uncertain ahead.

The fate of us now rests with me

I won’t give up. Not today.

When the doubts in your mind grow too much

And the faith in me lies in shadows

The flame of my heart will light the way

And crush the demon that follows.

When each step you take grow harder

And you don’t have the strength to carry on

Whisper my name, in your dreams

I will deliver you to the dawn.

When all hope fades and you stumble

And the world left behind is full of pain

Trust your love in me, my love

And tomorrow will be better again.

MS Dhoni should be replaced as Captain of the Indian team - dismal personal performance with v poor scores, poor shuffling of bowlers - time and again - led the team to a embarassing defeat. Yet, whenever questioned by Ravi Shashtri before the start of the match, the man gets too vocal about winning. Call it arrogance if you may, but the Indian team needs a new captain.

When one compares the performance by the S.A. captain - Graeme Smith, one can't but praise the man for his team mgmt, his excelent personal performance and his on-field skills, Dhoni cuts a sorry figure.

First Glance

a 'dear diary' post

Never in my wildest dreams, never to the power infinity. And then that never 'thingy' got kicked out of orbit as she walked by.

First glance. Dressed in tight jeans and a top, she looked like everyone. Her flowing hair masked her face as she walked across the road. She hadn't seen me yet. Infact nobody ever sees me. Twice. Girls like her are not meant for guys like me. Well that's the universal rule that i have come to follow and understand. Moreover love was not something i was ready to experiment with. Seen my elder sister come home drunk, weepy eyed only to thrash the hell out of me as if i was the one to play football with her heart. And when she is sober, i have to mend those broken pieces of hers by giving her hope. God is gonna burn me to smithereens. So long story short, LOVE? na na.

And then she walked by as she made her way to the university. Even if i was an flying dragon, she wouldnt have noticed me. But she did. By God, she did. A flick of her head and her kajal-laden eyes met mine. And for an eternity of a minute, my heart raced with triple doses of LSD, hashish or whatever frigging drugs available to make you do that. I stood there rooted, not even able to reply back to the smile she gave. The sunrays bounced of the stud in her nose and all i could do was stand there as if i was tased.

Hell i was tased. With that 1000 watt smile of hers. But it was too late. She ran towards the building. She didnt turn back. Not once to look at the poor soul who was out of breath. Did i miss the moment?

SADNESS

Still miss you every passing night

And think of how we couldn't make it right

Denial of your pain only makes it worse to bear

No I am not calling you but still wish you would hear

Every expression that comes out in every falling tear

Sorry for not holding you tight when you wished to be near

Sometimes I just wish you would have made it a little more clear

The Sunrise

The Sunrise - Arv

The sun started to rise.

On a bench, by the pier, they sat holding each other's hands.

'Should we go?' she asked.

'Yes, work calls us' he said.

The smile faded on her face.

'...but we will come here tomorrow too, ok?' he assured her.

Now, her face glowed brighter than that morning sun.

p.s. - To all those old timers here... Its been a long silence and I just wanted to break it in the New Year with a classic 55 fiction :)

चाहत

बागो की कच्ची कलियों की महक 

तेरी चूडियो की खनक 

वो धुप में बारिश का आना 

वो चाँद का बदलो में छुप जाना 

पौ  फटते तेरी यादो में खो जाना 

सपनों में भी तेरा आना 

हर साँस में हैं तेरा नाम 

तुझे चाहना यही हैं मेरा काम 

चाहत को मेरी ना समझाना भूल 

तुझे पाना चाहता हूँ 

तेरा होना चाहता हूँ 

तुझमे ही आज खोना चाहता हूँ 

चाहू तो ज़िन्दगी तेरे नाम कर दूँ 

पर तू ही तो मेरी ज़िन्दगी हैं 

तुझे कैसे बतलाऊ 

दिखलाऊ कैसे मेरे दिल में बसा प्यार 

आईने में ना देख तस्वीर अपनी 

मेरे दिल में देख तकदीर अपनी 

तुझे पाना हैं मुझे 

बस यही शख्सियत हैं मेरी

                                                                 (चिराग )

The walk.

Grains of sand.
Footprints.
Washed away.
Water.
Salty.
Foamy.
Touching the feet.
Naked.
Cold.
Ears.
Red.
Sounds.
Voices.
Memories.
The touch.
Present?
Absent!
Dream?
Reality!
