Wrongturn



Why do we trust so many people?
Why do we so care?
How many faces of a single soul do we see in in one single year?
How much of pain do you supress in your heart?
How soon will the Sun set over your eyes?
When will the light stop dazzling you?
How much of distress when piled in a load is enough to let you have a meltdown?
What are you to me that you expect you deserve an explanation to all my decisions?
You’re at least a wrongturn in the road of my life
Sunken, shrunken and dirty on all sides
Atmost you’re my night old muse
My next poem is bout how you touched my soul
Either way, you’re so shortlived my love
I’ll forget you existed by the very next noon
Shouting we’re all in the same doomed ship
We’re not, we’re alone and waiting singly for our doomsdays
Cause despite how far the bird flies from its nest
When the Sun goes down, the bird’s only welcome in her nest.

Imaginary Conversations with You

I went by your house last night again. It become a habit now passing by your place, drunk. Like it's some typical Bollywood movie. only it's not because I know what I am doing. I am in control and I'll never lose it. I looked up the window I used to always look up at. I saw me. Sixteen year old me. Patiently looking down from your window. There was a calm in her I know wasn't in her when I was sixteen. My breath grew shallow and paced up. There isn't anything the same in the both of us. You were right. I camouflage really easily and before I could know, I became this person. I think I gave in to the lifestyle; the parties booze and boys caught up to me and it's okay. I am not complaining. I won't say that that I detest the woman I have become. I absolutely do not think I should have been the way I was when I met you; fragile and easy to love. I don't want to be easy.  I don't want to love the way I loved you, like a traveller in a desert loves a mira...

Those dancing feet could be theirs

If you dance in the rain, you ought to get wet. You cannot do something and not bear it's consequence. I have seen this in my own life. Yes, my very life has been testimonial to the words I speak tonight. It's very easy to comment upon something, to say what is good to be done but to do it is difficult. That is very difficult, indeed. Life, according to me, is not about being good or bad. It never has been so. Life is all about change. That's the only constant thing in all our lives. We constantly become different persons, sometimes so different that we can't even unite ourselves to the person we were before. And we become different and thereby evolve as more matured and prudent by virtue of the choices we make in life. Life, actually, is all a matter of choices, a hierarchy of priorities. It's very easy to dub someone wrong when their priorities don't match with our's bit one must not forget that we might never understand a person completely unless we ha...

A Face in The Dark: An Alternate Ending

Mr Oliver, an Anglo-Indian teacher, was returning to his school late one night on the outskirts of the hill station of Shimla. The school was conducted on English public school lines and the boys - most of them from well-to-do Indian families - wore blazers, caps and ties. "Life" magazine, in a feature on India, had once called this school the Eton of the East . Mr Oliver had been teaching in this school for several years. He's no longer there. The Shimla Bazaar, with its cinemas and restaurants, was about two miles from the school; and Mr Oliver, a bachelor, usually strolled into the town in the evening returning after dark, when he would take a short cut through a pine forest. When there was a strong wind, the pine trees made sad, eerie sounds that kept most people to the main road. But Mr Oliver was not a nervous or imaginative man. He carried a torch - and on the night I write of, its pale gleam, the batteries were running down - moved fitfully over the narrow for...
