For your eyes only

-
As promised I'm back with one of my poems which was penned down in classroom 16 Nov. 2010 1615pm WAC class Col. Hariharan's class ...i developed this habit of putting in date , time and circumstances under which i wrote the lines.


FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

I used to say it all
am getting fat and am getting tall
today  I felt like
I was hero
and the other day like
I was zero.
when I thought of soaring high
you taught me how to fly
and once when I was late
you came only to secure my fate.
I grew wiser (I thought)
I grew older
responsibilities heavy on my shoulder
I struggled and found you on my side
when I was back home
when I went out for ride.

And now I'm stuck again
in such a position
where I can't look back
nothing to fear
beacuse I know you're there
but this restlessness is killing me
everywhere.
I try hard
to get back my life
ready to walk
on a two pronged knife.
just never feel that you're lonely.
I'm coming back
for your eyes only.

Day 10 & 11 - 3rd and 4th April - A Helping Hand As promised yesterday by PM Modi, in his address at 09:00 AM on 3rd April, a new task was announced - 9 minutes of candle light vigil at 9:00 AM on 5th April. It was a call for solidarity, to remained united as a nation for a greater cause. घर की सभी लाइटें बंद करके, घर के दरवाजे पर या बालकनी में, खड़े रहकर, 9 मिनट के लिए मोमबत्ती, दीया, टॉर्च या मोबाइल की फ्लैशलाइट जलाएं: PM @narendramodi #IndiaFightsCorona — PMO India (@PMOIndia) April 3, 2020 When PM raises a call, the entire nation responds. The night of 5th April 2020 turned into a mid year mini Diwali. No body knew why others did it, every one did for there own reasons. For some, it was call of PM, for some it symbolized a ray of hope in desparate times and some participated with a thought that if it would do no good, it would not be any harm either. But I feel, for majority of the people including me, it was a show of solidarity and togetherness, consciously o...

SATISFACTION

-
this was on special request of Gaurav...my roommate during grad project. he was not satisfied with his efforts on whatever he laid his hands on. and i penned it the same night....21st march at 1:00 am. here it goes..... Chasing the dreams shadows of self into the darkness, somewhere near the hell. Turbulent ideas, excitement soared but could not hear the silent roar. Instead heard a familiar sound realizing I had lost my ground running harder and faster for some solution confusing confusion and defying delusion. satisfaction stood forever at bay in the dyeing nights and ageing days with a shot of shot of vodka and a thunderbolt shaking ribs with euphoric jolt. finally I had defeated my soul and the chase has taken its toll.

28th March 2020 - Day 4 - The Corona Migration Crisis What is it with me and weekends & holidays that I wake up so early. Today it was really really early, may be around 04:30 AM. May be it was a bit too early from my standards as well. But I did not regret. Here is what I woke up to. Use earphones, this was a rookie attempt. Covid-19 pandemic was getting worse. It had claimed almost 20 lives in India and almost about 1000 were infected. Infections have crossed 100,000 in US while global death count was ~25000. While going through the routine of morning updates on twitter, face book and corona contagion, I made tea today. Nothing for the first time, but yes for the first time in many days. Then followed the cleaning drive. As already planed, today it was ceiling fan and a comprehensive floor washing exercise. Take a look below. Phone started ringing early in the day. Seems like my younger sister was running out of some groceries and she discussed with our parents over ca...
