The System

I have nothing against men, but patriarchy.
I hold no hatred against the other religions, but the ideology of communalism.

I don't hate you old friend for breaking touch, but this fast paced life.
I don't hate you my love for leaving me, but the circumstances that led us there.

Mum, I don't hate you; but the work that kept you occupied.
Dad, I don't hate you; but your socialization.

Me to Me

I close my eyes
and I am taken to this place I seldom visit
where i am alone
where its me to me

these fancy things boil down, here, to hard realities
what I have and what I don't
does this even matter?
does this even matter,
for you are not here...

Whatever I achieve, wherever I get
the child in me would always crave for your love
But,
the mould in which it was cast has changed
and the breezes among which it flourished and flowered have veered away.

With all due respect Mr Obama

‎Should India give in to America's another bate after Green Revolution era?
"We see India as a huge MARKET for America in future" - Obama ( And he expects us to feel privileged! )
1.Has trickle down effect worked yet that we expect it to work in future?
2.Would it not increase the pace of already increasing disparities between rich and poor?
3."Growth" as Obama calls it - Would it be inclusive? Or like always would excl...ude the major chunk of population?
4.Obama appears over-simplistic when he makes ethnocentric assumption
about similarity between India's and America's value systems, nature of
democracies, nature of ambition and aspirations of both countries.
Mr Obama, you are here with a lopsided view of India.
‎5. Indian intelligentsia is not as naive as America's population to give in to Obama's words which are often loaded with extreme confidence but no substance. What are American bureaucrats doing?They could have at least given the right backdrop to their president.
6. Is it too late for India to restructure or at least rethink about it's model of development? How long would agricultural base remain neglected?
7. Obama talks about "developing" tribals. Again ethnocentric.

When I can't find words...

I remember times when we shared dreams
When mornings were brighter and nights warmer
The heat between you used to retreat to the morning light
And now, Its a dull dawn without you

All the things I know right now
If I only knew back then
As I let you go, I will find my way
as I still live in your afterglow

In between the longing to hold you again
My mind drifts away, we only have today.
No, I am not breaking down bit by bit
I am just frozen in time

As rain falls, I lie to myself
Its doesn't bring back any memories
As you think I rise above the story of pain,
You would never know mine.

Because when it comes to expressing it to you,

I can't find words...

Unbreakable Confidence

When given a choice to sit it out or dance - I hope, You Dance.
