you were a whiff of air


the story started something like this
from the top of a cliff,
standing there, looking at the world beneath
everything gave me a notion of it being swift.

may be that was my ignorance to the world
that was standing right there in front of me,
or my very own self indulgent world
that was more than enough to suffice me.

a sudden rush of wind brushed past my ears
tried hard to whisper what I couldn't hear,
perturbed by its unexpected emergence and hustle
there was a strong feeling of an upcoming tussle.

the stronger it became with each passing second
the better I could make its presence reckon,
feeling its every brush with my hair
I wondered whether it was actually for real.

sometimes it was fierce, cold and strong
sometimes it was tender, velvety and soft,
sometimes I loathed its fierce temperament
sometimes I feared its predicament.

seconds passes by, minutes died a slow death
hours lasted till the eternity's final breath,
with every passing moment that it was there
I could feel a whiff of pleasant air.

but then all in the while that it subsisted
I couldn't think of its non existence,
and then when finally I stand there again
I get a sudden rush of feeling that was sane!!

Life is like that...


There are times when you take an often travelled road to reach your destination but often landing up on a no man's zone which is no where near to where you wanted to reach. There are times when you buy a new dress, just on the basis of its tag, its 'in-quotient', its dirt cheap price or whatever, only to realize later that it could never be worn again and its going to spend its rest of the life in your overflowing cupboard. There are times when you give into the demands of your taste buds, overindulge in all those guilty pleasures and only later to realize the repercussions of overindulgence when the needle of the weighing machine has to bend itself hard to give you a glimpse of your fat. There are times when you start reading a novel purely by being fascinated it by its book cover and after browsing through 10 odd of its pages you realize that you have found a perfect pill for your sleeping disorder.

There are times when tried and tested things go horribly wrong; when rather than discovering your true calling, you go by what others say; when the materialistic beauty is more than enough for you to pin it down to your final choice and when you purely give in to the demands and the pressure of your surroundings.

And there are times when you don't know where your life is heading to, whether it’s all that you had actually longed for. But when you actually get it, you feel like ‘Boy!! This was unexpected but still I am loving it :D’

Life is like that, where things you disliked at the first sight, activities that you found boring and people whom you loathed earlier become a reason for you to look ahead and forward with all that positivity!!

Its uncertain, unthinkable, unpredictable, inconsistence, erratic, spontaneous, fussy, unstable, impulsive and these are the very things I love it for :D.

far away from each other

All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above.

Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all their years.

khwaab marte nahin

dreams never die
dreams are not like hearts, eyes or breath
which shatter into pieces and scatter
when the body dies
but dreams never die.

dreams are like light, songs and breezes
which the blackest of mountains can not block
nor burn out in hells of tyranny
they are banners that flutter in song and winds
they mount scaffolds with their heads held high.

dreams never die
dreams are words, dreams are light
like Socrates they drink cups of poison
and like mansoor thy mount the gallows with a smile. - Ahmed Faraz

LiNeS tHaT i CoUlDn'T ChAnGe !!!

people go far
away from you
you start wondering
what went go wrong
and the past becomes
a pleasant song.

longing to go back
to go back where it all started
when you could get my unspoken words
those times, those images
are now getting blurred.

am still there
where you had left me
shaken and broken by your abyss
the deep carved memories
of you
just refuse to make way for bliss.

after life

When the wind whispers in your ears
when the moon smiles at you,
just believe that its my voice you hear
and i am here right next to you!!
When the night falls around you
close your eyes,
its not an illusion that you are dreaming
its really me!!!
I love you I always will
far from here and eternity!!
though it seems that its the end
you will know it has only begun!!

GeT a LiFe!!!

How does it feel when someone comes up to you and say that you were the source of inspiration for him/her to do something? You feel nice, amazing, overwhelmed on hearing that people are following your foot steps. Well that is what most of the people around me behave on being at the receiving side (being referred to as a role model that is). But not me for sure. What I can’t understand is that why do people actually wait to get influenced by others to do something? Why can’t they explore things around them and try out those things on their own? It pisses me off big time, when someone tells me that they started doing something because of me. I listen to some particular music/singer because that makes me hum along with it, I like visiting monuments because I am curious to know about the history (who knows I might just get to know about my past too ;)), I like reading because reading stories takes me into a different world all together, I like watching movies because I like watching drama (and having popcorns ;)) and I like writing blogs because I just like it. The same might not work for the other person. But there is a breed doesn’t bother to think and just start doing it because they saw some one doing it and found him/her cool, intellectual..whatever!!. Getting influenced or making an impact onto one's life with my ideologies aint my cup of tea. Neither do I appreciate it. Individuality is what that matters. Doing what you believe in, identify with - should hold the utmost priority. People would keep coming into your life, keep influencing you now and then and make you drift and shift away from what you had set out to do..unless and until you refuse to take your stand.

Think over this, whether you still want to influence people or get influenced by them but don't get influenced, even a bit, by what ever I had written ;).
