Instance that changed my life!

There are instances in your life that completely change you. There was one such instance that changed me.

It was a no moon night. Cool winds blew through our faces as we rode through the dark lonely highway surrounded by miles of jungles from both sides. I was driving a black colored Mahindra Scorpio at an approximate speed of 120 kmph, changing songs in my JVC music system. The other two boys were nauseated after the limitless wine they had in the night. Tarun was about to vomit the third time while Chirag was dizzy and emotionless since we started from the palace. I was the only guy who was not drunk.

I was in a hurry to reach to college thinking about the warden’s non-stop scolding that I am going to get for getting so late. ‘Oh my God, It was one of the best New Year Celebrations I have had. But, I am going to get laid by Gopal (our warden) this time”, I said to myself as I took sharp turns on the highway, “he won’t let me in this time. What would I do at three in the night if he didn’t let me in? Ooh yes, we all will not go inside the college only. We would sit at the kabristan near the college to spend three hours and then we all will go in at 6 am!’ I was just thinking about this weird idea and I saw a person weirder than that. There was an ugly, dark man with some stains on his clothes. He would be around 6’7’’ tall, long black mustache, wearing an ugly red overcoat. He tried to stop me by making hand gestures. He was trying to say something to me but since I was in a hurry, I didn’t stop.

Cold winds blew at my face as I continued my drive and what the f***!!! I saw the same man again. He was doing the same hand movement trying to tell me something. This cannot be possible man. “Run Nik, Drive Fast”, I heard Tarun’s voice.

To tell you all, Tarun is the guy who is so afraid of ghosts that he can’t even see Ramgopal Varma’s “Phoonk” which was more like a comedy movie with the award winning role of only the crow. In short, he is too afraid of the paranormal things.

To tell you the truth, I was also afraid at once, after seeing the ugly man again. For a change, I listened to the coward and increased my car’s speed.

With car speeding at 150, after few miles of ride, I saw that ugly guy the third time. This time I slowed down. I had made up my mind to ask him once what the f*** he wanted to tell and why was he waving his hand to stop me.

“What are you doing, are you nuts?” said Tarun in a strangely shivering voice. He was shivering as if he has been kept in a refrigerator for last 3 days.

I was also afraid but I knew Chirag is with me and when he is there I can even fight with dean of the college, after all this is just a ghost. So I pulled over my car near the ghost and got down with Chirag. Tarun immediately hide himself under the seat.

I was tensed still managed to shout at the ghost “What the hell is this? Who the f*** are you?”

“Excuse me sir!” the Ghost Replied, “I am the Guard of the Palace. You forgot your car keys I was trying to tell you that since half an hour.”

There I realized that I was also badly drunk!!!

After this instance, I was completely changed…I left drinking more than 15 pegs at a time!!!

The way I would Propose!

That perfect night, the perfect smile

The perfect time, the perfect line

To tell you the truth

Another time, another day

Another boy, in another way

Gonna tell this to you

But you need to listen to me

Coz that’s gonna make me free

And that’s how I want it to be

I know that you are the one for me

 

I am alive, n I will survive

But take this dive, for my life

To make it more meaningful

I want you, n I need you

I care for you, n I love you

Gonna make life colorful

And you need to listen to me

Coz that’s gonna make me free

And that’s how I want it to be

I know that you are the one for me

 

Time will come, n time will go

The memories will always show

The love that we made

The sun will rise, the sun will set

Flowers blossom, blight they’ll get

Your beauty will never fade

Ooh please come and listen to me

Coz that’s gonna make me free

And that’s how I want it to be

You’ll always be the one for me

(P.S.1 Try singing this at the tune of Graham Colton's Best Days, you would feel the song ;) 

P.S.2 You may think bout the first prose...another boy...my thought was tht the girl is so beautiful tht she has been proposed by so many boys earlier!)

My inspirer!

I remember everything

The day when I lost my hand

Drove my bike too passionately

Met an accident and turned into strands

 

I was morose, felt miserable

And had nothing left in my life

All my dreams got shattered

Sadness and pessimism were rife

 

That day I made my mind

Coz I had to find a way-out

Went to that beautiful old valley

To give it all without any doubt

 

I looked at the sky above

Into the sun I saw straight

And took a deep breath

Prepared myself to the fate

 

At my back suddenly

Something caught my eye

It were you with no limb, no money, no family

Sitting on the wheel-chair you still carried a smile

 

You seemed happy and satisfied

Indifferent to all your miseries

And you carried that beautiful smile

How could it be, is still a mystery

 

Your smile did the entire job

Made me realize the art

Of taking the life as it is

Keeping it going through your heart

 

I went back from the valley

And turned into a survivor

Coz you my friend, yes you

Are my true inspirer

The Silent Waters

She stood on the wall of the well

Looked deep down to find the silent waters

There came all the memories to her recall

Back came the days of those slaughters

She was being forced by her father to get drowned

And she did not want to suicide

But what else could the man has done

    It was a matter of the man’s pride

For she was being left alone by the family

And they were going too far

Her little brother was mourning too

How that innocent would know it was a war

When India and Pakistan were made apart

Families faced condition so miserable

All came to kill each other

Be it Hindus, be it Muslims

The girls had to die

For they had no other choice

She didn’t want to suicide

But did she have any voice?

The young girl suddenly got down and ran

To find a place to hide

Her brother calling her not to go

He was also crushed in the tide

All of them gone, no Hindu left

Her family also disappeared

And there came some Muslims

They saw her shivering with fear

There was a good one among them

Who saved her and married

And she was forced to get converted

Quran in her closet since, she always carried

And there comes the day again

She is standing on the same wall

For the previous time it was her father

This time it was son’s call

The merciful day came when she saw her brother again

But they were no more her family

Now she was Hindu no more

She now has a son who listens to her barely

He calls himself a “Jehadi” now

And hates the so called blasphemous

He also became doubtful of her

Asked “whether you are still one of us”

What could have she replied

She, herself didn’t know

Molded herself to time

But it was her time to go

She stood on the wall of the well

And looked deep down to find the silent waters

There came all the memories to her recall

Back came the days of those slaughters

This time she made up her mind

She had come here after all the prayers

Be it Quran, be it Jap Sahib

She read it all with taught flairs

This time she came prepared

She could not have taken any more

And “splash” she went down

‘Coz she was broken from the core

The only doubt she had in mind

Before this quirk …

Which place will she be going?

The Muslims’ Jannat or Hindus’ Swarg!

(Inspired By a Pakistani Movie: Khamosh Pani, The Silent Waters)

P.S.: If you get a chance don't miss this movie..you will get another perspective of how the females are treated in this part of the world...they are always forced to adopt what thier parents, husbands and sons choose for them. It was a heart melting time when I wrote this since my Grandparents have been through all this during the partition. My Grand mother had to stay inside a heap of agricultural waste with a child of 3 years  for more than a week to get out with safely. She was pregnant that time.

I Love These Rains

O God! Please listen to my prayer

Please don’t keep the sky so clear

And bring the shadows of the clouds

Let them pour and roar out aloud

 

I feel so lonely and so sad

I wish to cry and get so mad

But I don’t want them to know

About my misery, I don’t want to show

 

O thank you God, for listening to me

Thou poured from heavens and blessed me

These clouds I feel are just like me

Full with emotions but still don’t plea

They just burst out aloud

And let their pain get drowned

  

O, I have always loved these rains

For they help me hide my pains

Now, I can walk along the path without any fear

And they would not be able to notice my tears.

I Don't Know!

Life’s changing, I am changing

Why I am changing? I don’t know

They say be yourself, but I can’t see them doing the same

Their closeones are changing, they are changing

Why they are changing? I don’t know

My friends laugh at me; they say I am a fool

I feel sad, I feel bad

Am I a fool? I don’t know

I see her she sees me, we walk together but

She’s quite, I am quite

Why are we quite? I don’t know

In my dreams I see her smiling to me

Her shining eyes, her beautiful voice

Am I in love? I don’t know

May be she is not for me or she  won’t accept me

But does that makes any difference?

May be yes, may be no

Am I afraid? I don’t know

Now I Realize!

Hi Friends, Thanks for inviting me to the Writer's Lounge. This is my first post and so i thought to post the first poem i have ever written...hope you would like it...

You sung a hundred songs

With beautiful words

And we sat under the tree

The chirping of the birds

But now I realize,

They were all lies.

 

It looked so beautiful

When everything was calm and cool

But now the days are gone

Your heart turned into stone

In the climate, I felt the heat

And it became harder to breathe

And you made me realize,

That they were all lies.

 

You told me how you felt

And I had to regret

Coz I made mistakes

Your ego was at stakes

And now I realize,

They were all lies.

 

You asked me to move on

Like it never happened

But how can I forget

The plans that I had set

My life became a misery

But now it’s a history

Coz you made me realize,

They were all lies.

 

You told me right

It was just a dream of the night

And the night was gone

So why should I mourn

Now I made my mind

That I shall not be kind

And I have to fight

This battle like a knight

Coz now I realize,

They were all lies.

 

Yes, I realize

They all were lies.
