THE LAST SONG






As I lay by the ocean
the waves rushing all over me
I had a flashback of my life
mine that i end letting my soul free


I thank you mom, I thank you so
for showering me with nothing but love
I'll miss you dad, its so true
miss your hand,in winters, warm in the glove


Am going away dearest friend
embarking on a journey all afresh
I take no ticket on this train
sorry fellow passenger, none's allowed aboard but me


I take this route not cause of god
a choice I made in ending my life
Was but a weak moment, trust me I say
it takes more than just courage to plunge so deep


I dont claim chivalry
as I've proven meek at large
But it aint fear that lead me on this ridge
pushing me down hell opens as I barge


I feel the ocean throwing me back
dont belong here you fool it says
The world tried to push air through the closing stems
in vain attempts to raise me from my haze


As I lay still, I asked of god
let me live this one time
I want the world to know I love it
want to learn it loves me too


I could feel the rise of hope
feel my blood going warm again
I closed my eyes to thank god
only to never open them again.

WOMEN'S DAY - YET AGAIN

Image
So there are a million messages floating around today on how to respect the women in our lives, how each of us idolises the women we have seen as we grew older, marketing gimmicks and sales sprees in every segment - from flowers to furniture, from jewellery to kitchen appliances. This day irks me because some factions of the society go all out to “celebrate” women and another faction spearheaded by many ‘fe-male chauvinists’, not just feminists, claim that they should be respected everyday and they are asking for equality and not specialty treatment. I am also happy this day exists - it goes to show that there is atleast scope for discussion that there is a need for improvement in overall quality of life for women in general. I speak not as a women, but as a human being - not an animal that needs special rights and training. But I pose this question - should I be ‘asking’ for respect?   This day is a western thought - this statement dilutes the importance of the argument and brainw...

COVID and ME

It was the year 2020, much like every other year and was the same for everyone till it became unlike any other year. Only, it was still the same for everyone and we were all cooped up in our selves as the rulemakers made new rules by the day and the naysayers opined in empty words. I am not new to loss, joy, thrill, bereavement, elation, love, enthusiasm, anger or depression, and neither are you  which is what makes us all human and how we act upon each emotion is the thin line between sanity and madness. This time I learnt to be a better friend.

None of this happened in the wedding we had so painstakingly organised, with nothing stopping short in terms of entertainment or being unordinary. A famous person in a very famous sleeveless...

Saying Goodbye...

Wrote this more than year back, somewhere in the wee end of 2017. Farewells are never easy and every time another friend leaves, it just gets more and more difficult to say goodbye. Atleast this time the goodbye is merely physical, as only the distances have increased, but the bonds remain strong. The heart turns a heavy turn As the road ahead becomes a blur That's when I realise there's a tear Waiting to drop, will burn my cheek I fear Why this weight I do not understand This journey I wish to make backward This is how one feels at the gates I shall sit, shall yearn in quiet, I'm afraid The act of bidding adieu has never been easy Hurts even more for you, my friend As time with you hasn't been very long And my eyes wish to hold you even at the end To sit beside and tell you stories With gay abandon I wish to talk Wish distances were just numbers to do away And I be at your door at the next knock Hold onto my memories I ask For I grasp at every ...
