I have tons of dreams
Some seem a bit far-fetched
Some scare me
Some i'm not sure if i will be able to fulfill
But that doesn't stop me from dreaming
In fact with every passing day my mumber of dreams just keep increasing
And of late it's become like this addictive drug i can't seem to survive without
For me now it's like this:-
A dream a day
Keeps my mind's death at bay

If i ever let pride and arrogance overpower me
Then i will run the risk of losing myself
For my humility is all i have
I deeply treasure it
And i won't give it up at any cost

There is no end to 'earning"
No end to 'yearning'
But i've always been a bigger fan of the word 'learning.'
For life teaches you right till your last breath
So keep learning until you meet death

I want you to destroy me in whatever manner you want
I just want you to decemate me
Oh wait!..you've already done that
This is probably my inebriated and battered soul talking
It still seems to be in a state of daze
But i don't blame it
After all...the hurt you gave is gonna take some recovering
You see you've demolished every inch of heart
Every layer of it has been poisoned with hate
My soul feels so very empty
Coming out of this will be one hell of a miracle!
Now I'm not saying that i don't believe in miracles
But truth be told i ain't ever seen any
So that really doesn't leave much room for hope now...does it?

My heart has been broken so many times that now it can't bear any happiness
Happiness seems like an alien to it
For it has always been familiar with sadness
And no matter how hard i try to explain it to my heart
It just doesn't seem to get what this 'joy' stuff is

During my childhood whenever my favourite toy broke i would weep inconsolably...tears just wouldn't stop streaming down my face...Then i grew up...got a real taste of life.I saw the many facets of life,learnt many lessons and now my condition is such that even after suffering a heartbreak i hardly feel anything....is it absurd??...abnormal??...often i ask myself these questions??...why don't i feel the basic human emotions anymore??....emotions like lust,greed,anger,love or sympathy.Has my heart suffered so much that it's gone completely numb??Have i grown up too much or may be the truth is i never ever grew up...i guess i'll never quite figure it out.

Sometimes i feel like i can't keep pretending to be human anymore.The mask is slipping and i seem to be running out of ideas.What are my strengths?what are my weaknesses?Why does everyone misunderstand me?What is the one thing i'm good at??....so many unanswered questions....it's F** frustrating...Tick!Tock!.....the clock is ticking....time is running out...Last man standing wins...it's either me or the devil imprisoned within me....it's a fight till death.No one's a winner here...the victor shall be referred to as the Heartless Slayer.

You gave me so much love and adulation
Alas i can't give you much
Coz i've nothing
Childhood took my innocence away
Teenage years took my sanity away
Adulthood took my dignity away
And now life has taken time away
And now as i'm left alone with my room and empty walls
I wait patiently to be taken away from this world
No one hears my cries save for the walls
The mirror is my only friend
It's been with me through every thick and thin
Whenever i looked into it there wasn't much of a face looking at me
Rather it was the vision of a daily predicament...
...somehow getting through the day unscathed
Poverty and desperation are pretty powerful motivators
It makes you do things you don't want to
I sold my soul to the devil a long time ago
I still feel the repercussions
I'm sorry for all the wrongs i did to you
I hope you will understand why i did what i did

I'm by nature a very shy and quiet kind of person
While this nature didn't win me a lot of friends
It certainly did give me less of foes
And yet the tragedy is...
...Inspite of this i never really felt the absence of foes
'Coz the people who are close to me
Who matter to me
More than played their part in this department
Sometimes i wish i could somehow find myself a female version of me
That would be interesting you know
Neither of us would talk much
We would merely exchange a few words and smiles
And yet we'd enjoy each other's company!
And most importantly she'd understand me

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

You left me heartbroken
I was shattered
I felt miserable
It felt like my entire world had collapsed
But you also left me stronger and wiser
It wasn't easy to move on
I had loved you
I had trusted you
But those never meant anything to you
And so i told myself that i wasn't going to waste my tears over someone who wasn't worth it
I deserve better

When i think about you
My thoughts seem to have a proper sense of purpose and direction
They feel much more organized and beautiful
Rest of the times they just seem scattered all around
You had once asked me as to what i like about you
It's hard to pinpoint what i like about you in particular
Truth be told...
...it's a little bit of everything
I love your child-like smile
Those beautiful deep blue eyes..
..almost like the sea
I love your smell..
..it's intoxicating
I love your sweet voice
I like tasting your lips
I love holding you in my arms
I love the things you say to cheer me up when i feel low
I love how you motivate me to keep improving myself as a person
I love how you make me smile just with your illuminating presence
I love your long locks
I like playing with them
Running my fingers through them
I love your sense of calmness
I love your incredible mental strength
I love your demeanour..
..so relaxed,so quiet and yet expressive
And above all i enjoy our companionship
You're a blessing in my life
And i thoroughly and sincerely cherish you
Thank you for being a part of my existence
You provide it with a significant meaning

My heart was a barren land
Devoid of any nourishment
Untouched by love
Thirsty for a healing touch
It had withered away
It was in a really bad state
I had lost all hope
To be honest i had completely given up
Then you came
And along with you came the rain
And my heart was changed forever
Flowers started blossoming on a land where earlier nothing grew
The land was painted with green
The birds sang
The heavens rejoiced
It was a miracle
And now after so many years of your residing it
Love thrives in it
My heart is now full of life
A hustling and bustling city of positivity
I have never been more happier

Sometimes all it takes is a special someone to come into your life and enrich it like never before.

I've tried it on many ocassions
But each and every time i tried it
It just didn't satisfy my soul
And so i have finally come to the following conclusion
...coffee is just not my cup of tea!!!
I was,am and always will be a tea person

When two people detest each other
And still find a way to make it work
That's  'effort'

When two people deeply love each other
And still can't make it work
That's  'tragedy'

My mind is a forest full of dreams
It's mostly nightmares though
And no matter how much i try to hide from them
They just don't seem to go
They make it very difficult for me to sleep
I just toss and turn and weep
I'm literally scared to sleep now
Will i ever be free from of these nightmares...
...and if so how?
As soon as my eyes shut
They come out to play
And as long as i sleep
They continue to make hay
I fear one of the days i'm going to insane
And the mental asylum is where i'll land up
Perhaps they will give me some prescription pills
Which will help cure the pain
Until then i will have to somehow survive
And if i'm lucky,death will help me out

Let your mind wander in the garden of love
Let it constantly think of the Power Above
Let it not mingle with hate and jealousy
Keep it safe from arrogance and falsity
Let it not worry about any sort of fear
Courage is always here
You just need to go a little near
Keep nourishing your mind everyday
So that it keeps moving in a more focused way

If you can have a certain amount of control over your mind
You will have better control over your life
'Coz in the end it's all in the mind

Do this everyday:-
Momentarily blank your mind completely...fear,insecurity,worry,jealousy,....flush out all the negativity.Meditate.Every breath you take in and every breath you leave..make it count.Every moment should mean something to you.Have a positive outlook towards life.Interact with your inner self.Try and channel your thoughts towards a positive direction.Offer a prayer everyday.Get up close with nature.Don't break down at the first sign of a problem...rather take it up as a challenge.

Remember...unless and until your mind is at peace,you will never find peace.It's not an easy task to do this..but you need to make the effort.

Day by day the pain just keeps amplifying
And the wounds just keep flourishing
I'm not surprised though
You do a pretty good job of nourishing
them
You regularly water the vulnerable areas
And feed them with an overdose of harmful pesticides
Thanks to you...
....in my world of pain and despair
There's never a drought
What did i ever do to deserve that?
I loved you
I was sincere and committed to you
And yet you had to break my trust
And shatter my heart
Guess i was never good enough for you
I had thought the ugly part of my life had ended with the war
But no.....
Little had i known that my greatest enemy would be the one to whom i gave my heart
You dismantled me in such a manner that i never ever recovered
Piece by piece
Bit by bit
Flesh by flesh
You took away the best of me
And left me bleeding and all alone
And now as i wait for a miracle
As i hope for a saviour to come into my life
I sometimes still think of the glorious moments we shared
They were glorious....
...make no mistake about that
The tragedy is that you gave me some of the best and also some of the worst moments of my life

Love and oxygen is all you need
Rest are merely accessories

I haven't seen angels
But i have seen mothers
Selflessly
Tirelessly
They go about their daily routine
And quite often don't get the appreciation and respect they deserve
The sacrifices they make is unimaginable
Words are not enough to express gratitude to mothers all around
Even managing a country is easier than managing a home

It doesn't matter as to who wears the pants in the relationship...the tv remote always belongs to the lady of the house.

Spending time with you
No matter how little it maybe
Is worth it
'Coz when i'm with you
Every single second i feel stronger
Happier
And more positive than i've ever felt before
I don't know what it is about you
But you just seem to radiate so much positive energy and goodness
It's like you were born to inspire people and spread happiness
Your words
Your thoughts
Your beauty
Your charm
Your grace
Your simplicity
Your humility
They all just ******* away
I feel so safe with you
I can talk to you about anything without being judged
You understand me better than anyone else
I love listening to you
I love talking to you
I love kissing you
I love inhaling your scent
I love holding you in my arms
You truly are a very special person in my life
And i feel fortunate and blessed to have someone like you in my life

Nowadays whenever i go out
I keep a small candle in my pocket
For who knows in which street the evening of my life might come about

There are more mysteries contained in a woman than there are in the entire galaxy.If i were to consider life as an enigma(which it mostly is)..then women would certainly be the greatest part of it.I have at times tried to decipher women...but have failed each and every time.So what is it about a woman?...what makes them so different from us men?..what makes them so special?..i guess for starters they are emotionally so very complex,which makes them hard to read..they can cry at smallest of things and stay strong during the toughest of times..they are extremely expressive when it comes to the emotion of anger and happiness.They are no less than men in any field..in fact i have absolutely no qualms in admitting that they are smarter than us.They multi-task so effortlessly.I'd be lying if i said i don't admire and envy a woman's physical form..especially the hair..there's just so much more that can be done with it as compared to a man's hair..but then again,i'm no fashion expert..so what do i know?
And secondly her smile..i mean i'd **** to have a smile as charming as a woman's.
In the end i'll say this-'the world is blessed to have women.They truly are unique.'

Drugs and medicines will not help you get through depression
Rather it is your courage,willpower and effort which will help you overcome depression
When going through depression..try and divert your mind from the thought that is depressing you
Engage your mind in some sort of an activity or the other
Sometimes a change of environment helps..travel to some other place
Offer a prayer everyday
Write down what you feel..don't keep it imprisoned within you
Talk to your close friends and family
Talk to people who you think will understand you
Try and accept the reality and move on
I know it's all easier said than done
But that's the only way
I have gone through it many times at various stages of my life
And i know it's not easy
But if you want to defeat depression..you have to conquer yourself first
Remember..no one will be able to help you unless and until you're ready to help yourself

It heats up your mind
Makes you lose your senses
It makes you lose control
It  makes you do things which you later regret
It is never a pleasant thing
But sometimes it’s just a natural reaction to a certain thing
But never take any decision when under the influence of it
When angry try and curb your instinct to react unless and until you feel that you must react
At times keeping your cool is not easy
But it is the smarter thing to do
If a confrontation or an argument can be avoided then try to do so
Anger mostly leads to something undesirable
You will come across people in life who will constantly provoke you
And by reacting to what they say you will just be making them feel important
We all have rage inside of us
But rage can be displayed in a non-violent manner as well
When angry write down what you are feeling
Just distract your mind
Get away from that place
Channel your anger into something productive
I know at times it can be a bit difficult
Sometimes things reach a boiling point and you just want to burst out
And at times you should probably do that
But in general try and curb your anger
For it never does you any good

As Aristotle had once said:-
“Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.”

Boy when you lose your health..you really do lose your mind!!!
It's true what they say..'health is truly wealth.'

As you look at me with those seductive eyes
I can tell that you want me
As you slowly undress me with your words
Bit by bit
Layer by layer
And arouse a fire of passion within me
I feel stimulated like never before
I'm losing control over my senses
I just wanna get lost in you
Hold me tight
Till the end of the night
Let there be no distance...no space
I just wanna feel your warm embrace
My bed has been a witness to my loneliness
Let it see the unision of two souls tonight
Let my morning be different for a change

Your religion or nationality doesn't define you
Your words and actions do
It's pretty sad that a lot of people still think that people belonging to a particular religion or country are terrorists
Terrorism has no religion
When a bomb goes off or when a bullet is fired
It doesn't pick and choose it's victims

There's something so very liberating and soul-satisfying about redemption
A chance to make ammends
A chance to eliminate the ghosts of the past
Life doesn't give you a lot of those
So whenever you get one
Make full use of it

The following are four of my closest friends(these guys really get me!..over the years i've developed a pretty strong bond with them.)
1)Silence
2)Loneliness
3)Pen
4)Paper

What a world we live in
The rich,famous and influential can just buy their way out of trouble
While the common man is harassed by the police at the smallest of mistakes
The police has now become a tool in the hands of political parties
A man is shot just 'coz of the colour of his skin
The wrong-doers are granted relief by the courts
While the innocent are wrongly framed and put in jails
The wronged keep waiting for justice
to be delivered
But it never arrives
Or by the time it arrives they are long gone
The way i see things..
..that day ain't far
When no common man will ever approach the police or the courts
'Coz both are becoming corrupt with every passing day

Trust,commitment and communication are the three pillars of a relationship.

Trust is like paper..once crumpled it can never be perfect again.So never break it.It's very hard for a relationship to sustain itself once trust issues start creeping in.
Commitment is crucial.It is important that you are committed to the relationship and from time to time keep showing this to your partner.
Communication is often undervalued.It is of paramount importance and lack of it is often one of the major reasons for relationships falling out.Whenever you have an issue or there is something that is bothering you..talk it out with your partner..don't keep it concealed within you..he should know what you feel about him and the relationship.

Iphones,ipads,ipods
3d,4k,Imax
E-books,online music and movies
Herbal tea,Green tea...and what not health drink
Six-packs,designer clothes,diamond-studded watches
E-mail,video chat,social networks
Selfies,groupfies,swimfies(God help us!!!)
Racism,discrimination,advanced weapons system
Fast cars,fast motorcycles,fast life
The modern day advancements and sophistications at times baffle me
Have they actually made life simpler?
Or have in fact complicated it?
The era i grew up in
We didn't really have that much choices
We had to be content with whatever was around
And we were
In fact we were pretty happy
And now look at us..we are spoilt for choices
We don't know what to leave and what to take
I miss the era of the '80s and the '90s
We used to look forward to going to the fair
We loved playing out in the sun
We loved reading
I miss writing letters
I miss looking at black and white photographs
I miss taking autographs
I miss cassetes and tape-recorders
I miss taking a walk at night without the fear of getting mugged or shot
The kids today at times they scare me
The things they do....
...At times it's hard to tell whether they are super-intelligent or super-dumb!
Computer games,getting laid and smoking ***...that's what a lot of them seem to think about!
They seem to be so engrossed in their phones..that at times it's hard to tell whether they realize that there is a world outside of their phones
And the norm now just baffles me
You wanna dump someone..just text that person
No calling or even meeting that person
They don't even got time to talk their parents!
Sometimes i wish that i was born in the early 1900's and i died in the same era
Agreed that back then there wasn't so much amenities or facilities like we have today
But life was much more simpler and peaceful
And most of all people in general were much more tolerant

I'm thankful for each and everyday i see
Irrespective of how difficult the day might be
I'm thankful for being blessed with a beautiful heart and a decent mind
I'm thankful for being blessed with wonderful parents
I'm thankful for being able to use all of my senses
I'm thankful for having food,shelter and clothing
I'm thankful for being able to get an education
I'm thankful for being able to experience the offerings of nature
I have received way more than i have ever deserved
And i'm deeply and sincerely indebted to Almighty
I don't express my gratitude to Almighty that often
And i definitely want to change that

I was earlier a non-believer
And then she came into my life
And transformed me into a whole-hearted lover
Maybe i couldn't resist her charms
But boy she makes my soul feel so ecstatic whenever i'm with her
It's hard not to be blown away by her incredible presence
My heart feels so very lonely in her absence
And then when we meet again
It's like getting to know her all over again
She is one of a kind
And she is the one who rules over my heart and mind
I never thought i'd ever find love
Perhaps this was an arrangement made by the heavens above!

I've really missed you
These days without you were so hard to live
I have cried so much
Everyday as the tears streamed down my face
And slowly met my lips
And then seeped through into my mouth
I felt so very saltish
And i just hated it
Now that you're back
Please do me a favour
Kiss me and make my mouth taste sweet again
I wanna get lost in you
Don't hold back tonight
Every inch of me is longing for you
These sheets haven't seen anything for months
Let's mess them up tonight

Your love is like the sun
It warms my soul
And provides me relief from the harsh cold winds in my life
And yet at times when it is at full might...
...it burns me
But it is my only source of energy
And i can't live without it

Time waits for no one..
That's what i'd heard
But whenever i'm with you
You prove this saying wrong
'Coz when i'm with you...
...time stands still
The stars come out to play at night more often
The moon seems to smile more
The clouds seem more beautiful
The sun seems to shine stronger
My soul feels glad
And my world seems so much brighter
I wish you're the one i can die with

As a child i used to feel scared of the dark
I couldn't even bear a moment of it
But then as i started growing up
I realized that the best way to get over my fear of it was to embrace it
Make it a part of me
Treat it as a friend instead of a stranger
And i did that
And now i kinda' enjoy the dark
The night just feels more comforting to me
It's like in the dark of the night
My soul feels safer
And less exposed
And i'm able to express myself better

It's a night filled with passion and desire
Our bodies entwined under a sea of blankets
I stare deeply into your eyes
I can see that they want me
So i start kissing you
I caress your *******
I play with your hair
I shower your tummy and hips with kisses
I write poetries on your back using my tongue
I then focus on the area between your legs
My tongue is now writing with vigorous intensity
Loud moans one after the other
You like it
You hold on to the sheets
And finally i can taste your sweet nectar

Punctuality is a very good habit to have
Unfortunately a lot of people don't take it too seriously
Personally if i were to speak for myself..
..When i have to meet someone or be somewhere at a given time
I always try and be there at least 15 to 30 minutes early
I always like to have that extra cushion of time in my hands
I don't mind waiting
But i hate to keep someone else waiting
I always say this..
'It's better to reach early and wait..rather than reach late and suffer the consequences...if you don't value time..time will never value you.'

I don't fear facing the winter of my life(if i were to make it that far)
I just fear spending it alone
Not a single soul by my side
And me-all fragile,wrinkled and weak
Just my pen and paper to get me through the days
You see the thing is no matter how much i would like...
...pen and paper simply cannot make up for the absence of love
Deep down we all want that someone special in our lives...don't we?
They say-'patience is bitter but it's fruit is sweet.'
Well...it's been ages..
...i'm still waiting for that sweet fruit that patience promised!

As a kid superman was my favourite superhero
Then as i grew up and started experiencing the dark side of life
I realized that it is only because of the dark that light exists
And so gradually my preference shifted towards batman

You start with something small
Something pure
Something promising
You have zero expectations
You're not sure how far you'll go
All you have is a flame of hope in your heart
And a burning desire to succeed
You give it your all
You leave no stone unturned
You keep working every single day
You endure every hardship with a strong heart
And then when you finally get your first taste of success
It just feels so incredible
Gradually this thing that you started grows into something big
Something beautiful
Something that exceeds all your expectations
At that moment life just feels so surreal
You ask yourself-
'Is this for real?'
'Is this actually happening to me?'
It's hard to put in words what you feel at that point of time
A feeling of elation
A feeling of pride
A feeling of satisfaction
A sense of achievement
Your dreams have finally turned into reality!!!
It took a while
But it was worth the wait wasn't it?...
...i guess all good things take time

There is no place like your motherland
The place where you were born
The place where you grew up
The place which has given you memories of a lifetime
This bond that you share with your motherland is special
You can never forget the fragrance and flavours of your motherland
It's people
It's food
It's culture
It's hopes
It's dreams
It's issues
And no matter how far away you might be from your native land
Someone or something will remind you of that place
And your mind will wander there
And your heart will always beat for it

I'm looking at the night sky
It's a clear sky tonight
Not a patch of cloud
The moon is shining with all it's glory
But unlike other nights i can see just the one solitary star
I guess this particular star wanted some time alone with the moon
I wonder what they might be talking about
Perhaps they might be sharing some beauty tips or secrets i guess
'Coz let's be honest...the moon might be the jewel of the night sky
But the night sky is incomplete without the stars

I often wonder what drives a person to work hard and keep trying day after day
Day in day out
He puts in the hours
He puts in the effort
He doesn't get enough sleep
Sometimes he skips meals
Is it the fear of failure?
Or is it the lust or hunger for success?
Is it the fear of becoming an outcast in society?
Is it the fear of being isolated by friends and family?
Or is it this constant thirst for attention and adulation?
Is it this uncontrollable desire to amass wealth?
Is it the fear of falling behind his counterparts?
Or is it the hope of getting recognition?
Is it an effort to improve?
Is it just merely an effort to survive?
Or is it an effort to provide?
If i were to be honest and speak for myself i'd say it's a bit of all of the above
