Pain

Was it not yesterday we went out for dinner together? Then why is it that today I don't see you around?
Was it not yesterday that we bashed each other in the game? Then why is it that today there is no one to pick up the other controller?
Was it not yesterday that we had planned to zip around Mumbai exploring new places in your car? Then why is it that today you car lies in the parking without it's owner?
Was it not yesterday that we pulled your leg about all the gals whom you hit on? Then why is it that today I can't make myself heard?
Was it not yesterday that I clicked your snaps and promised to share it this time for sure? Then why is it that today I can't find you to collect them?
Was it not yesterday that we had planned to catch up on all the movies this weekend? Then why is it that today I dread at the thought of going to the theatre?
Was it not yesterday that we had planned to have a ball at the wedding of our common friend? Then why is it that today I cringe at the thought of celebrations without you?
Was it not yesterday that we were spreading news about the insane dowry prospective bride's fathers were luring you with? Then why is it that today I have no one to take offense of it?
Was it not yesterday you were right here, with all of us? Then why is it that today you are with the angels and one among them?
The memories of all the yesterday's with you. Memories of you are all that I have today! Will miss you today, tomorrow and forever!

Best Friend?

We held hands

We talked for hours

We laughed over silly things

We cried over boys

We teased each other

We never left each other

All those lunch breaks together

All those after school talks

You were my best friend

You were the one who could make me smile even at the darkest times

You fixed me when I was broken

And hugged me when I won

But then it all came to an end

School, was done.

Now its been a year since I spoke to you

And I do miss you

But what should have lasted didn't 

It probably was meant not to.

Best friends, they're so important in our lives. But we've all gone through rough times with friends when suddenly they are so important and suddenly you dont even know anything about them. Things change, people change even faster. This was a dedication to my school best friend :)

Love

Sonshu

Girl in the rain

There’s a girl in the rain
Hiding tears and her pain
I keep wondering
Who’s she?

Her hair is wet
She looks so great
I wish we’d met
Before.

She looks here and there
With eyes full of scare
There’s none around her
She’s alone.

I see through this glass
The distance between us
There’s a road I can’t pass
It’s jammed.

I can’t see her face
Amidst this menace
It’ll be real disgrace
If she leaves.

As she quiver
I step out of my car
And I walk towards her
In faith.

Seeing me come her way
She smiles at me, nay
She hurries away
In the rain.

Why would she just go?
I just want to know
Did she see me before?
Anyways…

There’s a girl in the rain
Hiding tears and her pain
I’ve a feeling within
That’s you!

...A dedication to myself and my beautiful wife on 12 years completion of our journey in love...

THANKS FOR THE SMILES you gave me By Coming back

DEDICATED TO THE COMEBACK OF OUR OLD STAR - DO I HAVE TO MENTION HER NAME? :D smiles!


You noticed the lost grin of my face
The one that Use to pump up to fight space
with The Dimples of my cheeks
Everytime I came by here at this place
It missed you... Your presence...Your verses...Your soul
I felt an uncomfort
a sudden end
something abrupt
That can't be explained!
I lost myself on this page
while missing you!

SALUTING THE COURAGE OF A VALIANT IN YOU - This is me Pulkit On Behalf of TWL wishing you a happy and prosperous comeback!
Tum Kya lautey yahan
Kuch aisa dhokha sa hua mann ko
Ki jaise tumhari jagmag se
saare aakaash k taarey pheekey pad gaye
Yun laga is rangat ko dekh k
Ki jaise Diwali waqt se pehle aa gayi

Smiles and blessings!

The tides are still high..

Pic Source : Hey that's me..!!


To the love of my life..

A n a N y a

There's magic around and the tides are high,
Our love is powerful;it's touching the sky..
There is a force in the waves from our heart,
Love is flowing from us right from the start..

It's been long and old since i found my princess;I found you,
But how do i tell you that the feelings are still fresh and new..
How do i tell you that you're still the one i love and will be forever,
Love from my heart;affection from my blood will go away never..

I still get a smile on my face when someone says your name,
I still want just you;I want no money no fame..
I still get shivers down my spine when you say you're mine,
It still twinkle up my eyes;it still makes my heart chime..

I wanna be your prince charming from the very first day,
That wish made me crazy;that wish made me say..
Say those eternal pure words which are meant only for thee,
I've so much love in my heart;I wish it was visible;I wish you could see..

Things may get worse,things may get bad,
Don't be upset for a moment,Don't be sad..
Don't think all those songs were a lie which i made for you and sang,
Because your prince charming hasn't died he'll be back with a bang..

You're my baby,you're my girl;you're the one i love the most,
The tides are still high,they are not on the coast..
Close your eyes and hold me steady and tight..
Let's fly over;Let your magical eyes be our light...

The backbone..

Doctors,Engineers,Chartered Accountants make our country.That's all we know.But somehow we forget about the people who are our backbone.This is just a small attempt to make everyone remember that backbone.The people who make this world a better place to live in for all of us..

To the people who make me feel safe..


"The Soldiers"


Sweaty on the head,
With metal in his hands,
All he could see was,
Blood on the sand..

It's was so long,
Since he was there,
He killed enemies,
Without any fear..

A land with scorpions,
Was now his home,
He was still fighting,
And he was not alone..

He shot bullets,
He went out of his mind,
As he missed his wife,
And his innocent child..

He missed his family,
He missed everyone,
He missed all the love,
He missed the fun..

Still he had no grudges,
Had nothin to complain,
He had all the peace,
He forgot the pain..

For he always knew,
He was serving his motherland,
Making the nation safe,
He was the helping hand..!!

It's my turn...

To the love of my life..

A n a N y A


Your beautiful dimples took my heart away,
The magical smile made my love sway..
Lost in you,your innocent eyes i saw,
I smiled as i was left in an awe..

I never felt the way I was feeling,
I was confused,I had no single clue..
It took me some time but I discovered,
I was already head over heels in love with you..

It was you in my heart,You in my soul,
I thought 'Without her i would just be a mole'..
Your gorgeous smile was all over my mind,
With your gesture so humble,Your voice so kind..

I kept thinking,I kept dreaming about you,
I wanted you even if the moments were a few..
My heart was beating to the rhythm of your name,
I was wondering if you were feeling the same..

My hidden attraction was now the love of my life,
My heart called you mine,My heart called you my wife..
I couldn't believe i was in love,I was feeling this way,
I wanted to call you mine,My feelings I wanted to say..

The day came,'I think I've started loving you',I said,
'You think?',came from you wondering if I was afraid..
'I love you',I said as it came all from my heart,
'I love you too',You said nervously and we had a start..

Sweetheart,Since then I've always been the happiest man ever,
You've been with me in my thich and thin,You've been there forever..
It's my turn to make you feel special,It's my turn to be there,
I promise i'll be with you with all of my love and care...

A DreaM DaTe..!!

Remembering the most beautiful day of my life with my girl..

A n a N y A



Imagine your first date with the girl you love the most on St.Valentines Day itself,you people will say "What's so special in that,a million would have a date like that?" Well try to imagine this - Your first date with the girl you love the most on St.Valentines day,Your girl crossing a thousand Kms for the date,Spending the day with you and returning back the very same day,6 hours of togetherness with a promise of a lifetime,all of this when you meet each other for the very First time..!!


Confused? Try reading out the tale of love..


Ananya and I became friends through a mutual friend,who did nothing good till date but one thing - he was a medium set up by God himself to make us meet.She's from Delhi and i'm from Nagpur,a thousand miles apart.From sharing jokes online to Pj's through sms I tried everything to impress her,to get her attention.Hell,I got it!I proposed to her on 21st Nov,after a long session of leg pulling she said a "YES!"And here we were,in a soulful pact with each other,a pact to give each other all the happiness and love.The flames of love started burning bright.The cupid had struct and he made us fall madly in love with each other.A love free from every selfish need.We never saw each other,We never met each other!Still we fell in love!Soon the mobile network "Airtel" found half of it's revenue coming from us with the phone calls never coming to end.People around wondering if we both were planning to build a nuclear weapon togetherly by talking so intensly for hours.It went on and on until it was two and half months.

The fire was burning inside.The fire to see each other,meet each other.But how?

Moreover Valentines day was coming over,we had to be together in some way.For others God may find the way,for us she did!She decided to come.She booked a ticket for Nagpur.She had nobody in Nagpur but just me,still she decided to come trusting me with everything.I was flatterred and all in love with her again.Here it was 'Our first date on St.Valentines day itself,The dream date'.I'll be watching her for the first time,i'll be meeting her for the first time.For a moment i felt like a 5 year old going to get wet in the rain for the first time.Yes'it was the rain of my life.The rain of love..

"I've to make it special for her",I spoke to my heart.

With her favourite Orchids and carnations in my hand I went to the airport.I was damn nervous,I could feel the shiver in my legs.I think when love is in the air everybody can feel it and that's what happened to me throughout the day.A man looking at me said to me watching the flowers in my hands,"Girlfriend?,Valentines day?".I said,"Yeah,how do you now ?".He replied back,"I can see it on your face".
Back their in the flight my princess was receiving tips to relax from a fellow lady sitting besides her who could see her nervous too.

She came.She conquered.She became the queen of my life just in one moment when she came out of the airport.My jaw dropped as i was watching the most beautiful girl ever.She came and I gave her the flowers asking her trying to make a conversation,"How are the flowers?"."Beautiful",she said blushing away bringing the colour of love on her cheeks."Has to be,they are for a beautiful girl",I said still stunned at her beauty.

She sat on my bike keeping her hand on my shoulders(She had to otherwise she was too nervous to do that).I took her to a nearby CCD where I had made a arrangement for a table.I made her see a note of love i had written for her on a board featuring messages by lovers as a surprise.I gave a her big card with poems written by me on everyside of it below her photo i had pasted in it.She had tears in her eyes as she read -

"Oceans deep and long,
affection soothing and warm,
In this fill of liar,
your truth I admire,
Innocence of a child,
Stength opf the wild,
Naughtyness the spice,
Is what i see in your eyes..!!"

A few lines completely describing her.

The manager of the cafe was a friend of mine,I convinced him to play songs of my choice(Ofcourse they were all her favourites).As the song "Dilko tumse Pyaar Hua" started playing,I started singing it for her holding her soft hand in my hands.People around us stopped doing everything just to watch us getting lost in each other.A group of school guys and girls looked in and smiled as i kissed her on her cheeks after the song.I kept telling her how beautiful she I found her,how much crazily I was in love with her.Our eyes met for a second then looked down making us more nervous again and again.The house was on fire with the flames of love burning brightly and everybody tried becoming a witness to it.


We came out of there.She sat on my bike again,it was more special because she had never been on a bike with anyone before.We saw some "Shiv sena" people trying to stop us.But I guess Shiv Sena too recognises pure love.They let us go without saying anything.We roamed around the whole day until it was time for her to go back again.
She boarded the flight.We had tears of joy for we realised we were soulmates now.My cell beeped as i saw the text message from her -

"Lifetime membership confirmed.Thanks for coming in my life.I love you baby"

I smiled to myself feeling even more in love with her.

It has been nearly 2 years now,but still every moment of that day is every fresh in me.For i was born again on that day,born again to love to get love.

That is surely the best day of my life,My dream date!

Her love is eternal and pure and so is she!

I love you baby!

Wanna be with you all my life!

Happy Birthday Grasshopper! ;)

Dearest Grasshopper ;) :D,

Before I say any goddamn thing, I am really sorry... my bloody sleep ditched me last night... could not call you at 12...but yes, I remember I called you at 1...

But... here's wishing you a very very very happy birthday! :)

*HUGS*

You are one helluva friend to me FL...trust me on this guys and being a narcissist he is, he will completely agree to what I just said about him. A completely adorable dodo, a sweetheart completely obsessed with himself.

Identifying him is so easy...he is that average college-going guy, wearing those wacky one-liner t-shirts, with a look of you-can't-take-me-to-your-mom. Lol... sorry! (I know i'll be killed for this.)

You know something? Amidst all those negatives, the first positive I saw in you was that you are diabetically sweet...and as adorable as a kid!! :D

This is one time of the year when you can get to know everything nice about you...and I won't miss this chance to thank you for all those sweet things that you have done for me in the last one fantastic month of my life!...from running for shelter in rains to shelling out all those extra bucks to those Chennai autowalas just to make sure that I don't wait alone! ;)

You are my bestestest friend...(I promise to you that) and you'll always be one! The bond that we both share is hard to be understood by anyone else. Its love...but the one that bestestest friends have, it is friendship (of course), its that kiddo-kiddo bond, its like...something that words can't describe.

Thank you for coming into my life...I needed someone like you very badly...like a fresh ray of hope you came and promised to stay forever...what else could I ask for! ;) Thank you so much!

All the best to you...keep your girl happy. (Yea guys, I am not the one and now, thank you for all those raised brows.)

Don't fight with me for anything written over here because its your birthday and I want you to stay alive and kicking atleast till its 12 AM again! Lol...

God bless you with all the happiness and success that you have always desired. Stay happy and I just pray that this birthday turns out to be the best till date!

Akele chalti rahi jaane kiski ummed mein

Dekha tujhe toh laga sab kuch alag sa

Hasna seekha tujhse

Rona bhi tha aaj tune sikhaya

Par woh aansu na nikle they dukh se

Har dukh mein bhi khushi mili

Jab thaama tha haath tune

Aye dost, fir mujhe ek nayi zindagi mili...

Happiest birthday to you ever FL... take care! :)

Your PENGUIN!! :D :D

P.S.: Guys, can we just flood this post with wishes for my grasshopper, please?? :)

Don't scare me please

This song is dedicated to a friend in lounge. Real scary experience. Please anyone taking sleeping pills send a group message that you will be asleep for 12 hours because someone out there might fear the worst. That does not mean I promote sleeping pills, they are still bad. stay away from them.



the tensions rise so fast
that you don't know what lasts
everytime a bleak of hope comes
things just don't get their pace
I know so much more how awful it feels
But don't scare me please
I know so much more how bad it is
but don't scare me please

Everytime you feel real low
get up and take the vow
Not today but tomorrow
will be the end to your sorrow
Superstar take a break, let in the fresh air, but don't scare me
Superstar I know your life
is different and fast and weird to some
but don't scare me please

The last time it was pills
they gave me the chills
this time I was aghast
fearing the worst
Ring after ring superstar pick up the phone
shout, cry but don't scare me
Ring after ring superstar
real scary time don't scare me please.

The tunes of love..

To the love of my life...

A n a N y A




A guitar in one hand ,a book in other..
A joke on my lips as i move furthur..

Am i your prince charming..?
Am i your man..?
Don't say 'No'..
Becauce i know i am..

I want you to be close,
I want you to be near..
Just hold me tight,
and there'll be no fear..

If you feel alone,
Listen to me,just hold my hand..
Your loneliness will go away..
It'll start slipping like sand..

Whenever you miss me,
See me as you close you eyes..
You'll feel me all around,
As you look at the skies..

I know you love music,
You love the beat..
I'll tell it in your way,
I promise i'll not cheat..

"When you love a song,
You just go into the flow..
You ignore the darkness,
You just look at the glow.."

We may have a dark day,
We may have a dark time..
Groove in to the music of love,
It'll sound like a elegant wind chime..

For i love you the most,
You still make my heart skip a beat..
The tunes of love will flow through my heart,
Always making a new lovely musical feat..

Will love you always sweetheart...!!

I love you..!!

Princess.....

Pre-Script: Yesterday, I managed to do the "almost impossible"! I managed to cage the elusive Asbah for some time. And when I got her to write again, it was pure bliss. Here's the poem that was conjured...part by her....part by me! A humble dedication to one of the founders of the lounge.......the Princess of Arcane Lands....to Asbah herself....! Hope you guys enjoy her work as much as I do! :)

Sun rises to an arcane land,
Twilight cruises over classic skies,
With subtle grace descends to kiss,
The dewy petals of pink orchids!

The bees hum a strange fore-lore,
And leaves nod intoxicated,
Of love, of dreams, a tale of yore!
And a girl who was hated!

Beyond the pane of shining glass,
Caged by her self, she stares,
Her soul rambles across the land,
On scroll, her heart she bares!

Fountains of emotions spout,
As words escape her quill,
Papyrus damp with ink,
And tears of living against her will!

In her dreams she breaks free,
To rule beyond the horizon,
Where heavens paint the glee,
Where, the war has been won!

A prince, she awaits to set her free,
Every wish fulfilled with twin dreams,
Unknown to her, in silence he waits,
In her freedom, a lost soul he redeems!

A song for you

Hey fellas .. lets dedicate a song to our lounge and loungers today ... just write the lyrics in the comemnts ... Here's my dedication :

"Mera Tujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi..
Dekho Abhi Khona Nahin
Kabhi Juda Hona Nahin
Ab Khel Mein Yoohin Rahenge Hum Dono
Vaada Raha Ye Is Shaam Ka
Mera Tujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Maane Tu Ya Maane Na .. "

Happy birthday Thoorika!!!

Happy birthday Thoorika,

Ste!!
& your Writers Lounge family:)

Jacko No more..

Michael Jackson - a name which everybody in the world knows irrespective of anything.I remember when i was 5,I heard someone saying 'I wanna be Michael Jackson'.Young or old, rich or poor, Black or white, everybody knew who he was.

The friday morning was shocking and tragic for all his fans around the world revealing 'The King of Pop' to be no more.He died at the age of 50 following a cardiac arrest.

50 years of life, with a career of 45 years, yes folks he started singing at the age of 5.From a child star to being The King of Pop, his journey has been remarkable.He never stopped, He never got tired, he just kept floating just as his very famous 'Moonwalk' which was first featured in his video 'Billie Jean' in 1983.I was not even born then but still i very well know what moonwalk is!! His 'Thriller' in 1982 was a smash hit with over 5 crores copies sold as of now.One can never forget the time when he came to India and created waves with the crowd going crazy over his 'Dangerous' act.His 'Black or white','Heal the world' created awareness helping the world to be a better place.Such is the charishma of the person that even the most talented dance artists in the bollywood film industry are inspired by him.

'Jacko','MJ' as he was fondly called may not be in this world today but his thrilling contribution to the world of music will always be alive.He will always be alive through his music in the heart of his music fans for an eternity.

Long live Michael Jackson!

MJ - We will miss you!

Michael Jackson is no more! He left for the heavenly abode this morning after a heart attack at home. He was 51. Let’s not mourn, but celebrate his life – his songs – his words and his magic!

God Bless the King of Pop!

May his soul rest in peace!
One of my favs: MJ - Black or White

A Toast To The ROSE...

You are just like A rose...
The rose represents Your beauty.
The stem represents Your strength.
The petals are soft as Your delicate skin,
the fragrance so pure and so sweet.
The leaves represent Your arms outstretched,
always loving and giving
and
for perfection --- God made Your heart of pure gold..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! KEEP SMILING FOREVER!

To Kajal - A Wish - A Dedication

As you enter the world of togetherness
All I want to do
Is to wish you
With a wonderful life
Filled with love and bliss!

Among lot of things that I would miss
Few sleepless nights
Some mushy scribbling
An unknown quest and
An orchid or two!

May you live in love alone
May you get all you want
May you fulfill all your dreams
I wish you all that one could have
May you touch the sky!

In whatever you do in your life ahead
Just keep on writing, mate
Keep on spreading love
Keep on flying the flag of amity
And making people smile.

First Crush!

Joggling memories and joggling happiness,

The smile on my face is beyond snappiness,

The search engine worked to revoke the craziness,

And the message worked to send me in my perkiness!

Those were the days and those were the rhymes,

As I shined in the glory of my own whims,

The eyes still shine reminiscing those cute gleams,

Gleaming past me of the day of those primes!

Primes were the days when hormones changed,

Happiness and excitement seemed all trenched,

That one glance, that smile was all that worked,

Heart was all over the sleeves like it rained!

He was the new hottest cute thing in town,

She was the sweetest innocent being been won,

He smiled to speak a hello to crown,

She lost her heart like a clown!

They met everyday to play a new Maryland,

He didn’t know she was already weaving a new fairyland,

They met, they played, they smiled and they glanced in a new land,

And she didn’t know she was weaving the world around a garland!

The school was much more fun than before,

The bus stop was all about waving unlike afore,

He buzzed off in his car like always unaware of a dove,

She waited for him for that one smile to make her into a lure!

The games continued and the school continued

and the dreams flourished,

She never wanted to tell

and he never knew what garnished,

Then came the day which she always relished,

Relished in the memories of seating beside

as a queen as he whispered!

The day was a usual day but his presence was unaccustomed,

Light gleamed fast as he drove past which made her shunned,

The drive was short but the talks

and glares accompanied as the hearts throbbed,

The small moment together was enough to pass off

as beautiful forever as lives embarked!

Then came time for them to part,

like a breeze to keep the memory always carved,

He had a different destination

and she had a different arena to be marked,

But this parting wasn’t hurting

as she knew this sweet memory will keep it engraved,

And he knew he made beautiful memories

but he had to move to be able to smile and remarked!

Years past and decades past and they never interacted,

But then God wanted them to be able to be communicated,

And reminisce happiness which was invented,

And in a matter of few hours they interacted

To cover a decade which people never prompted

He hardly remembered her

but she remembered all making him intuited,

She teased him of the old memory

and he remarked at his great celebrated,

She will never tell him of the secret good memory situated,

Nor will he know of him as

Her First Crush for which she will be forever indebted!

To YOU, from ME!

He does not need any introduction. He is everyone's favorite here at the lounge...the king of humour... Arjun!

Its his birthday today...!!

I feel for you da and that is why I am writing this dedication. I have made a lot of mistakes da and I have hurt you immensely.

When I say that 'I understand'...I don't say it just for the sake of it. Believe me, I say it because I mean it.

After what all happened between us, I feel I have lost my best friend. Yes, you were one for me. I know you are hurt. But its your birthday today and I do not want to see my best friend sad!

To read this dedication or not is entirely your wish.

I really want to wish you a very very happy birthday da! :) I have tears in my eyes while writing this.

God bless you with everything that you deserve and much more. I have often heard you saying that you are not the lucky one. Trust me, you are!! A gem at heart!!

I don't know what else to write and I can't see the keyboard anymore...

A very happy birthday to you. God bless you!

I send a big hug to you on your birthday... I hope you understand!! Take care...



I had told you that I would be in Bangalore for your birthday. I might not be in Bangalore today...but I am there right besides you!!
