Though we've been born as humans ...it's pretty unfortunate that with every passing day we are becoming less **humane

We began as alphabets
Two solitary letters discovering each other in a world full of vowels and consonants
Then we turned into words
And gave a meaning to the alphabets
I'm hoping that someday together we can form a sentence
'Coz that'd be quite something....wouldn't it?'

There is none that can match his class
He can play well on all surfaces but is undoubtedly the emperor of grass
On this surface where many slip and fall
He moves with immaculate grace and stands tall
The centre court belongs to him
He has conquered it seven times
Can he make it an eighth
That's the question on everyone's mind
At 34 he is still going strong
Winning an eight Wimbledon crown would be for him as sweet as a love song
He is the son of the courts of SW 19
Can he make it beyond slam number 17? (i definitely believe he can)
Go Roger!!!

Memories may fade with the passage of time
But they never die
They will always remain a part of your existence

You say that you're better than me
'Coz i'm bad
I accept that i'm bad
But i'm still better than you
You know why?
'Coz unlike you i don't pretend to be good

You see...unlike you
...acting has never been forte
With me
You get what you see

Patience is not the ability to wait but it is the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

In your eyes I can see the fury of the sun
Never ever do they fail to stun
In your eyes I can see the beauty of the moon
When I look at them I just swoon
In your eyes  I can see the magic of the stars
Tonight it feels like I’m on mars!!!
In your eyes I can see the magic of spring
Your eyes they have that spark..that special thing
In your eyes I have seen the cool shade in summer
A day without you is a total ******
In your eyes I have felt the festive spirit of winter
Baby you make my heart run like a sprinter
In your eyes I have seen the dreams of a lifetime
In your eyes I have seen that love sublime
Your eyes….what do I say more?
That depth
That passion
That magic
That sensuality
They command attention
And deserve adulation
Your eyes are the kind which sometimes scares me
‘Coz they are the kind I can never lie to
And should I ever falter in my steps
I’d never be able to look you in the eye
I hope that I die before that day arrives

Life is full of surprises
Some good ones
Some bad
And no matter how much you plan and strategize
Always expect the unexpected
Don't relax when things are going good
And don't lose hope when things are going bad
Both situations can turn around pretty quickly

Don't leave me alone in the house
For just like me the house refuses to function without you
The TV seems uninteresting when you are not there to watch it
Food loses it's taste
The taps refuse to co-operate
The curtains tease and torment me
The cat doesn't want to eat
For just like me he seems lost without you
The fans and the air-conditioner seem useless
For only you can calm the fire that burns my soul
The lights don't seem to work
For nothing is as illuminating as your presence
The house without you seems like a graveyard
So please come back
'Coz the bed just like my heart is getting cold....

I am a lamp and i burn bright
My work is to provide light
I'll keep going till my last spark
For i will not rest till i have dispelled the dark
Tell the wind that it's conspiracy doesn't scare me
All it's tricks and deceptions i can clearly see
And I'm confident of combating them
For now i don't depend on any ship...
....i simply believe in me

Dear ALMIGHTY,
  
Please Bless entire humanity with peace
Let all wars end and violence everywhere cease
The innocent have been suffering for long
Protect them from wrong
Make them strong
For they have no one to turn to, save for you
Take them in your refuge, GOD
Bless us with sanity
So that we can stop this insanity
'Coz the direction in which we are going,honestly scares me

Help us GOD
Please help us
I humbly beg you

I will love you in sickness
I will love you in health
Money don't matter to me baby
For you are my real wealth

I promise to be faithful
I promise to be sincere
I will respect you and always be there for you
I won't let any trouble deter me
Till the very end i shall persevere

You give me a reason to smile
You give me a reason to live
Every ounce of love that i have in me...
...that to you i shall give

I promise to be your man
I'll never ever leave your hand
I will make you proud my dear wife
For you truly complete my life

Aftaab kay dhalnay kay baad
Chaand ki roshni kay jadoo may
Sitaron ki chadar kay nichay
Tumhari kaali zulfo kay talay
Meray khwabo ki jannat hai
Ek arsa ** gaya woha gayay huay
Kabhi ek martaba ayo toh mera pass
Meri rooh ko ek ajeeb sa sukoon milega
Aur Mera dil ka ghar khushi si khil uthega
(Urdu and Hindi)

English Translation

After the setting of the sun
In the magic of the moonlight
Under the blanket of stars
Underneath your black hair
Lies my paradise of dreams
It's been ages since I've been there
Just come to me once
My soul will feel a strange sense of comfort and relief
And the home of my heart will flourish with joy

The stars have descended on the ground tonight
They say they want to meet the source of their inspiration
Darling...they are talking about you

Our souls have been barren for far too long
What doesn't **** you only makes you strong
So have faith my love
This is just a passing phase
I know it seems as tricky as a complicated maze
But believe me….
Our souls will be drenched in love again
I know sometimes love can get tough
And we feel like we have nowhere to go
Just surrender yourself to me and let your feelings flow
Material things don’t matter to me really…
…they never did
I only want you my love,whom I value dearly
I've not given up on us
I still hold confidence and trust
Life has put us through many hells
Now it will do what is just
Light shall dispel the dark
And we will re-discover our missing spark
Broken hearts shall meet again
The indifferent clouds shall weep again
The distant sun will shine again
Like a phoenix from the ashes….our love will rise again

The wind in my hair
Fire in my soul
Love in my heart
Courage in my mind
Dreams in my eyes
The stars as my guide
The trees as my shade
The birds as my friends
The fields as my bed
The seas as my pool
The hills as my night-camp
The skies to watch over me
The moon to sing me a lullaby at night
The sun to fill me with energy
An insatiable appetite for exploration
And you as my companion
What more do i need?
So come with me
Let's go explore
And see what the world has to offer

I want to love you
I want to be with you
I want to cherish you forever
But why do you make it so hard for me to do so?
Slowly but surely i can feel us drifting apart
It wasn't like this from the start
We were fearless
We were crazy
We were insanely romantic
And now there's just no spark
All the great moments that we spent together now seem so very hazy
I feel as if the best is behind us
Now there's just no communication
We're losing trust
And it hurts so bad
It pains to see you being so indifferent towards me
Our love has now become a pale shadow of what it used to be
I wish we could go back to what once we were...
..Fruits of the same tree
Two bodies.. one soul
Two persons..one heart

I miss the old 'us'
Please don't let our love fall apart
Just talk to me
Just work with me
You are the air i breathe
And i'd be a dead soul without you

The morning rays of the sun
The freshness of the air
The sweet taste of your lips
The intoxicating smell of your body
Playing with your beautiful hair
Looking deeply into those ocean blue eyes
Watching you blush
Listening to your sweet voice
The perfect start to the day.....
I wish i get to experience this every single day of my life

There might be a smile on your lips
But your eyes are giving it away
You can try and pretend
But there's nothing that the eyes don't say

First i'd break through the egg
With closed eyes i'd enter the world
Oblivious of everything around me
I'd be making those weird cute noises
My parents would guard me...
Feed me
Watch me grow
Gradually i'd be growing feathers
And then finally that moment would arrive...
...my first flight!
Oh what a thrill!
My parents and siblings would look at me with such eager anticipation
Imagine the excitement i'd be feeling!
Imagine the pressure!
My parents would be encouraging me
And then gathering courage...
...i'd start flapping my weathers with great intensity
Gathering momentum
And then voila!
I'd be off
No one can catch me now
Pumping those feathers with sheer ferocity
Cutting through the air
Gliding smoothly
I'd be roaming across the vast sky
Sailing through the clouds
Getting up close with them
Oh what a feeling!
I'd go wherever i want
Whenever i want
Then someday i'd settle down
And start a family
I'd build the most beautiful nest
Then my kids would grow up
And someday they too would fly away in the distant sky

My night is not complete till i have tasted your lips
You see you are like that sweet dessert
The delicious kind
The tempting kind
The mesmerizing kind
The intoxicating kind
The kind that drives a man wild
The kind that makes a man lose control
The kind the taste of which stays in your mouth long after you've tasted it
No matter how much of you i might've had..
...i always have a little room for your dessert
Our lips touching and biting
Tongues exploring each other
Passions overflowing
Hormones going crazy
Till we can't stop
And finally give in to our fever of ectasy
And as we lie naked on the bed
With the stars and the moon as witness
The more i look at you...
....the more i appreciate the magnificence of the female form
It's sheer perfection
It's subtleties
It's flavours
It's aura
It's magic
It's mystery
It's power
Each and everytime i look at you
Each and everytime we make love
I discover a new side of you
I feel more enlightened and alive
Sometimes i just don't want to close my eyes
I just wanna keep looking at you
Taking in every bit of you
So i'll give you every ounce of love that i have in me
I was reborn by your touch
And together we shall die

I know that hope is a dangerous thing....it's risky..perhaps at times a foolish thing...may be we expect too much from it...may be the burden of expectations is starting to take it's toll on it....i don't know...but the the truth is that it's the only thing that keeps me ticking....i honestly don't know whether i would survive the lack of it...i dread this a lot..and so i always keep telling myself all the time...no matter what...i won't give up hope.

By giving someone a smile...a few words of kindness or a helping hand you will not lose anything or become poorer....So try and give these whenever you can.

Sometimes you realize the importance of a person in your life only when you need that person the most or when that person is gone from your life or when that person is no longer alive...that person had been there in front of you all the time..supporting you,loving you,always being there for you...all that person wanted was a little love and some of your time..but you just overlooked that person the entire time...later you feel remorseful...but sometimes it's just too late.

It's difficult to resist you
When you have sensuality draped all over skin
I know this is wrong
But looking at you..I can't stop myself from committing this sin

Your lips are like an aphrodisiac
Once i get i taste of them...i'm hungry for more
Tonight i'm gonna be your beast
Tonight i'm gonna roar

Your **** black lingerie is putting ***** thoughts in my head
Let's not waste anymore time
Let's go to bed......

The wealth you earn(no matter how little it might be) is useless if you don't give a part of it to the needy.Actual wealth is not measured by your bank balance or property...it is measured by the number of people who genuinely love you,respect you,give you their blessings,remember you in their prayers and the number of lives you've touched.When you are able to use your wealth and help make a difference in someone's life...that is wealth well spent...just seeing a smile on that person's face is priceless...this is the real achievement.

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Red seems to be the colour of the day...while some look forward to this day..some dread it...the absence of a special one in your life hurts not 'coz you miss the physical part..it's because you can't share your moments of joy and despair, your dreams, desires, hopes and fears with anyone...sure if you're lucky you'll have some good friends and great parents...but neither your friends nor your parents can make up for the lack of love in your life...love is possibly the most beautiful emotion that there is..the best drug for the soul and yet at times it can be so harsh and inaccessible.

It's been ages since i've kissed you
Oh!..how badly i've missed you
Your taste still lingers on my tongue
To each and every memory of ours even till now i've clung

You were my shade in the summer
Life without you was a total ******
You were my sun in the winter
When you'd kiss me..my heart would run faster than a sprinter

We had the world at our feet
There wasn't a day when we wouldn't meet
Together we went to so many destinations
You and me...we were like the constellations
Lighting up the night sky
Giving each other hope

So where did we wrong?
I loved you like a love song
Why did you go away?
I so wanted you to stay
We were two bodies..one heart
So why did we fall apart?
Well...doesn't matter..you're back now
So lets forget the past
And give ourselves a fresh start
Let's not waste what we have
Let's give ourselves a chance

There is this one particular trait of politicians that has always baffled me and it is not limited to any particular country but in general worldwide...and the trait is this:
Whenever there is an upcoming election more often than not very rarely will they talk about what they would do if they were to come into power...rather they will spend an awful amount of time pointing out the flaws and deficiences in the other candidate...they'll say things like..the other candidate has done so many wrongs and has 100 faults and i have 99..so i am the less worse one..so pick me...if a voter doesn't even know the agenda of a candidate how is he supposed to decide?....i gotta say at times it's really difficult being a voter...you wish you had the option..neither of the two!

'You have a lot of birds',she said.

'I like to keep birds..i love to look at their beautiful colours..i love to hear them sing',he said.

'You know something...birds that are caged..they don't sing..they cry',she said.

Tu chali gayi thi bina kuch kahay
Mera dil ek veeran reygistaan ** gaya tha
Andhera hi roshni lagta tha
Tanhayi kay siwa kuch nahi tha
Ab itnay arso baad tu waapis aayi hai
Par tu abhi bhi mujhsay kuch bolti nahi  
Ekbaar mujhsay kuch keh toh sahi
Meray kaan taras gayay teri awaaz suun nay ko
Nafrat ki nazar se hi sahi
Par ekbaar mujhay dekho toh sahi
Meri aankhen taras gayi hai
Teri aankhon say milnay ko...
(Urdu and Hindi)

English translation

You had left without saying anything
My heart had become an empty desert
The darkness used to feel like light
There was nothing except loneliness
Now you've come back after ages
And yet you still don't talk to me
Please just talk to me once
My ears are yearning to hear your voice
Even it's a look of hatred
But please look at me once
My eyes are yearning to meet your eyes...

There is no love in this world which is as pure and powerful as a mother's for her child.No one can ever know a person the way his or her mother knows that person...a mother takes care of her child in a way only she can...a mother is unique in every single way...love her,cherish every moment you spent with her,respect her and try not to judge her...take her blessings..they will take you ahead in life.

They all said he'd fail
Never gave him a chance
And look at them now
All queuing up like thirsty crows
Just to be a part of his success dance

Funny how some people's perception of you changes once you succeed
They start treating you differently
Up until the point you are succeeding ... i.e. your struggle period
They don't even give a **** about you
And then post your success they start acting like they're your best friends!

2 points i want to highlight i here:-
1)Never let anyone's negativity stop you from you achieving your goals..those haters can say all they want...just shut them out and focus on your goals.
2)Those who are with you during your bad times are your real friends and not those chameleons who start gathering around you when you succeed.

Few excerpts from an amazing short film i had watched a few years ago.The name of the film is 'The F word'(Here f stands for fat.)

Thoughts of  a woman-
'I was so angry with myself...it was one of the stupidest things i had done or tried to do apart from dating a couple of losers.I mean why was i becoming so desperate to lose weight?..Why was i suddenly so conscious of my figure?..Who was i doing it for?..Whose approval was i seeking?..The Society??...they were just a bunch of unknown people..their approval hadn't mattered to me earlier, so why should it matter now??....Just because a few friends and relatives told me that i was looking fat, i had to run to the gym..Why was i behaving in such a foolish manner??..I have never worked out in my life....i am happy with my life..i have no complaints.'

Thoughts of a guy-
'When i was in college i was in a relationship of about 2 years with a girl who was a bit fat and during the entire duration i always met her alone..i never introduced her to my friends...in fact i never even told my friends that i was dating a girl..it was as if i was embarrassed of the fact that i was dating a fat girl...so that tells you of the kind of society i've grown up in or what the society has made me.'

I just want to say this to anyone who has ever been called fat or too thin…if you’re happy with yourself then it really shouldn’t matter what anyone says.I have faced this myself and even did a few stupid things in this regard and suffered some consequences.It's really disheartening to see that even today people are categorized and in some cases even discriminated on the basis of their physicality.A person's physicality doesn't define him...it's his mentality,his words and his actions which matter...Society...GROW UP....SERIOUSLY!!!

Sometimes I wish I could revisit my childhood…….back then things were so much simpler.I didn’t have to worry about career,job prospects, pay scale, having that someone special in my life, dividing my time between friends and family. Back then I didn’t have any pre-conceived notions about life. I just took each day as it came.I lived in the present without worrying much about the future. My favourite ice-cream or toy would make me happy….playing cricket in the field for hours or laughing and fooling around with my friends made me happy..watching ******-dooby doo or Tom and Jerry made me happy..listening to stories narrated by my dad made me happy…now life just feels so crazy and monotonous…those days of fun and frolic have long disappeared…i am constantly being misunderstood…each and every step I take is constantly scrutinized and questioned..it’s like I’ve lost all freedom…the burden of expectations and the pressure of life at times just gets to me…I feel like screaming my lungs out and drowning in the ocean.I sometimes look in the mirror and can’t recognize myself…who am i?..what have i become?..i miss my old self...the person i once was...I so miss my childhood.

It's good to know your limitations
But knowing your limitations doesn't mean that you shouldn't explore the possibilities
Be aware of your constraints
But at the same time also be open to all kinds of possibilities

I am what i choose to be.It might not always be what you want me to be.It's not that i don't love you or respect you...the thing is i also love and respect my dreams and my areas of interest.So if i choose to do something different from what you want me to do...it doesn't mean that i hate you...it simply means that i'm following my heart.I assure you that none of my actions are an attempt to hurt you or embarass you in any manner whatsoever.I am your son/daughter...and just like you've loved me..please also respect the choices i make in life...just let me do the things which make me happy.I will make you proud one day..i promise.

It's amazing as to the effect self-belief and confidence can have upon you
For if you have these two
Even the most daunting of tasks can be accomplished
And the greatest challenge lies in having these two attributes when things are going bad
For that is the real test...
...When no one gives you a chance
Give yourself a chance by believing in yourself and being confident in your abilities

I want to be your canvas
A canvas made of flesh and blood if you like
Paint me with your love
Fill me with the most exquisite of colours
Smear me with your kisses
Streak my skin with the colour of your skin
******* lips
Then move over to my hips
Play with my hair
Tease me
Spread your aroma all over me
Make me forget myself even if for a few moments
You have done many paintings before
But tonight i want you to make me your masterpiece

As a writer you gotta accept a simple truth...there will be days when the pen wins while there will be days when the page triumphs.

When you are going through a bad day or feeling sick and low
There's nothing more soothing like a moment of laughter
It really does work wonders
Acts as a soothing balm
Just watching or reading or even hearing something funny
It just lightens up the mood
Just makes you forget the misery of the day
Laughter as a therapy is often under-rated
It's powerful than you think it is

With every passing day, my life was getting complicated...
...so i decided to make it a little simpler
...i forgave some
..and asked for forgiveness from some
And i must say things have been much better ever since

Dearest empress of my heart...
...Don't underestimate my love
It is resilient and equally patient
No matter what i ain't giving up on us
And i ain't never leaving your side
And have i told you that i love every bit of you...
...the flaws even more than the perfections
So please stop stressing about our future
Agreed that we haven't seen it
We don't know what it holds
But that doesn't mean that we can't work towards it
Just have faith in me
And hold my hand
I'll take care of the rest

Life is a dish you eat wearing a blindfold...you don't know what is in front of you and yet you gotta taste it..you hope that the dish tastes good and some days it does..but some days it tastes bad..like real **** bad and you wonder why you got to taste it..but such is life...it gives you a taste of every flavour you can imagine.

The sun will rise without you
The birds will sing without you
The winds will blow without you
The rains will fall without you
The moon will shine without you
The stars will twinkle without you
The sky will change it's colours without you
The seasons will come and go without you
From the lovely summers
To the romantic monsoons
To the awesome autumns
To the harsh and festive winters
And finally the magical springs
The world will move on without you
Life will go on without you
But.......will it actually be life???

You can have talent
You can have skill
You can have experience
But if you don't have patience...
...then all the above attributes count for nothing
For if you possess patience
There is virtually nothing that you can't achieve

Sometimes absence is required to feel a person's presence more intensely.
