Makar Sankranti
I am the pigeon on January 14th,
Hiding in the densest trees,
Afraid to take off,
Trying to find an escape route
Amidst the numerous strings.
I am the tree on January 14th,
Standing dead with fallen leaves,
Staring at miles of livelihood.
I am the kite on January 14th,
Flying towards the Sun relentlessly,
Out on an horizon-less venture.
I am the little girl child, on Makar Sankranti,
Smiling while looking at my siblings enjoying,
And all elders arranging for the grand feast!
Thinking how festivals are just another day with my loved ones,
Knowing that this feeling is my home,
And this home is my escape route.

She'll be Her
A small town girl
Lying on her bed,
Thinking how far she has come,
Wondering how much more she has to go.
All the love, the praises, the recognition
All the rumours, knives, cuts and pain,
How much of these did she really deserve?
The warm yellow diwali lights of the neighbours
Fall on her face.
She closes her eyes,
As she promises herself
To be the light that she wished would have guided her path,
And to ensure no other small town girl thinks less of herself.
She isn't alone,
She is just on her own.
She'll ride beyond her imagination,
Amaze herself beyond amber skies and ocean views.
She'll be Her.
She'll be Her.

The Day I'll Remember
The day I thought I'd remember for the rest of my life,
Is when you met me,
Held me,
Felt me
Like I was your only one,
The one that you had lent your heart.
But the day I know I'll remember for the rest of my life,
Is when you left me,
In misery,
In agony,
Like you never cared
For the one who had lent her heart to you.
For, that day was when,
I found my strength,
I got to know my inner self.

The Banyan Tree
Long ago, in a barren field,
Old Mother Hanna planted me,
She nourished my roots,
Helped flourish my leaves.
She helped me grow tall and green.
Soon I became the strongest banyan,- The Village has ever seen.
Since then I have seen many generations,
One of the great grandkids looked so much like Hanna!
Kids of the village played around me,
When tired, they would rest underneath.
But today is my last day here.
All the villagers have gathered,
To watch my fall.
They shed not a single teardrop.
While they cut me, I pray, I hope,
The kids watching me die,
Long lost humanity will they revive.

Under the Same Sky
Under the same sky,
One country is leading normal life,
While some other is still fighting the virus.
Under the same sky,
One land is celebrating independence,
While some other is losing its.
Under the same sky,
A girl is partying till midnight,
While another is being groped under the daylight.
Under the same sky,
You and I are dreaming.
Praying for a better world.
Hoping to wake up to a happier morning.

Shortcut
All my mistakes and all my flaws,
They point them out like,
Their expectations are what I am living for,
But everytime I wonder how,
You make me feel like a queen with a crown.
They are always trying to break me down,
They are always upto taking away my crown,
But you always find ways to lift me up,
You always make me love myself again.
You say, "Hey, there's no shortcut to freedom,
You gotta fight to build your own kingdom.
There are no tips,
No there are no tricks,
If it seems like a maze,
You gotta find your way out."
Have faith in your efforts,
Have faith in your hard work,
Believe in yourself,
Believe in yourself.

All Men Do is Lie
Ugly men don't love,
Handsome ones just prey,
Poor men don't party,
And rich ones don't cry,
Cause they have all the happiness in their lives!
Gay men don't belong,
Straight ones never touch costemics,
Others definitely need medicines!
Men are meant to carry,
Oh and they never need rest!
For all men I know are strong,
I have never seen no weak man.
All men do is hide.
Yes, all men do is lie.
For all we have done for years is,
Standardize,
Criticize,
Pressurize,
Idealize
And not realise
How many times
Have we denied,
A man's right to lead a life,
Like any other human being.

Merry Christmas
Rejected, Dejected,
Oh you've seen it all.
Still when you fall,
You make sure you stand back tall!
Persistent,Relentless,
Oh you've done it all.
You know you're not wrong,
Just keep going on!
Oh as long as you're in my arms,
Everyday's Christmas!
It's a Merry Christmas!
It's a Merry Christmas!
You say I used you!
You say I have let you down!
And when you cry!
When you cry over me,
I feel my heart breaking in!
And when you're crying on the floor,
I'm only breaking down, more and more!
'Cause, as long as I have you here,
Oh it's Christmas,
It's a Merry Christmas!
And everytime you walk out that door,
Oh dear I swear,
I swear, I break down more than ever before!
But everytime that smile unfolds,
Oh it's Christmas!
It's a Merry Merry Christmas for me!

Read MoreAs a child, I would always wonder,
What's so appealing about the sky and it's colours?
Every dawn and every dusk,
Grandpa would rush to verandah.
He would stare at the sky,
Watch it's colour change.
His eyes would shine so bright,-
Everytime he'd be equally amazed.
So I asked him once,
"What's so special about sunrise or sunset, Grandpa?"
With eyes fixated on the sun lit amber clouds,
Grandpa said, "It reminds me of all the people I have loved but have left.
So many came, filled my life with light,
But some stayed for sometime,
While some left without goodbye.
Man! I had a very poor luck in love!
I had been hurt; I had been torn apart!
But the only one who stayed was the Sun.
Sure it goes down,
But never breaks it's promise of rising up.
Dear, I have shaped my life up, just by watching the Sun.
The yellow you see, reminds me of your Grandma.
Damn! I have seen her glow!
As she stared at the golden sky,
Couldn't tell what was brighter-
The hue or her smile.
Yes, I had fallen in love!
As she stared in awe at the sunrise,
I stared at her, my Sunshine!
Seasons change,
The colours change,
But the Sun refuses to stop.
Now that you ask my boy,
The truth is,-
I've learnt life from the Sun."
Years later,
Every 5:30,
I rush to the verandah,
My son asks,
"What's so appealing about the Sun, Papa?"
With eyes fixated on the sun lit amber clouds,
I smile and say,
"My boy, it reminds me of my Grandpa."

Antipode
Why am I writing?
Whom is it to?
Would you find me?
Or would my letters find you?
You're in my head,
Every now and then.
You talk to me,
And you know my name.
I know you not,
But I know that smile on your face,
Which calms me down,
More than any wise word that was ever said.
Strange as it is, sometimes I feel you here,
Beyond measures of time and miles of distance.
I reach out for you and I am almost there,-
When suddenly I realise that all this time,
I was looking straight into the mirror.
Startled at the wonder that I just witnessed,
I ask myself a question:
How can I miss someone I have not met yet?

Story of a Loser
What do you do when you feel inferior among a group of intellectuals?
When you're wrong or don't have any clue,
And the geniuses laugh at you?
They say it's just for fun,
But does it change how you feel deep down?
Humiliated, mocked at:
You're sadder than they could ever expect.
You still try to hide it with an embarrassed smile and maybe fail at it too.
'Cause you're a loser: at least that's what you've been told.
What do you do when they expect too high?
Knowing very little about the wishes that you hide.
And when you fail at the path that they chose for you,
They don't miss a chance to barb you.
You cry, but make sure it comes to no one's notice,
You're a loser: now you too believe.
Many of you would say, "Find the place where you feel like you belong",
Or, "Observe quietly and learn from experiences",
I'd say, I am learning less and believing more,
That I'm incapable, that I'm inferior.
And if I try and find people out there who feel just like me,
I'll learn nothing but stories of veiled dreams.
For, we are losers, like we always have been.

Magical Days
I don't know why,
Something's hurting me on the inside badly.
Maybe it's because I,
Have been missing you so much lately.
I was never the type,
Who expresses her feelings this easy.
But with you, my Darling,
Everything that's real, feels extraordinary.
Try as I may,
Can't put into words how I'm feeling,
End of these days:
How earnestly am I yearning!
So Love, when the summer fades,
When this war finally ends,
We'll see each other again on our magical days.
New memories we would make,
Walk around the streets, sit by the lakes,
And make each other smile in wonderful ways.

Colours For You
Under the blues of the sky,
You delicately paint my heart red.
With you, everything's pure and white,
Even when the green eyes at our happiness.
I'm gathering all these colours just to let you know,
That you're my favourite, that you're my yellow.
And dear, I dream of us growing gray together,-
When you promise me purple; a promise of forever.

Innocent
Our hearts are innocent:
Flowers and little efforts,
Make them skip beats.
They don't judge by skin tone or religion,
They don't care about caste and creed.
A little messy and mischevious at times,
Our hearts fall for little lines that rhyme.
It goes out in pursuit of love,
And breaks into pieces quite often;
But never does it lose hope of,-
Finding it again someday.
My heart is innocent:
For all she knows is love is boundless.
And all she wants is living a life without regrets.

Stronger
Wet your pillow, cry all night,
All because he didn't treat you right.
The warmth of his love which you once inhaled,
Leaves you cold as you try to exhale.
I know, you were lost in his web of illusion,
Trust me, soon you'll get over this pain of separation.
You just can't help but still think about his whereabouts,
But darling, he doesn't deserve your beautiful heart.
It's time you paint your own future,
And fill it with the brightest colours.
So that no matter how much darkness engulfs your light,
You'd know you're stronger than who you were last night.

Dream
To the distant green lands,
To the skies where the sun paints them amber;
Even to the gloomy forests buzzing in dead silence,
To the dark valleys of the unknown;
Let us fly to the land afar,-
Soaring against the wind.
Beyond our sight, to the world,-
Where my dreams meet your reality.

Winter-cold Heart
Heard you found a girl,- the kindest you've known.
Her soul is like fire in the snow.
I see you walking around with her.
Her curls falling so perfectly on her shoulders,
Her hands wrapped around your arms,
Your heart so indulged in her warmth.
Let me, oh dear, look at your eyes!
Which shine so bright when she smiles.
Let me, oh dear, reminisce for a while,
Times we spent together: all our good times.
I wonder, what is my hand,
Without your heart to hold?
What are my poems,
Without our stories being told?
I wonder, what is December,
If it's not this freezing cold?

Believing
There's an ocean where she spreads her wings.
She dreams of flying away from her insecurities,-
Fly to a place where Trust isn't gone,
A land where she can be herself:
Yes, that's a land she can own.
Beyond the ocean, is there really a wonderland?
Where her Saviour waits to take her by her hand?
To find out, she must fly; but for how long?
How long till she finds Herself,
In a land that she can call her own?
As the breeze plays with her hair,
She says to herself:
"Like I never stopped believing in miracles,
I would never stop believing in myself!"
And across the ocean, she soars against the wind,
She's the kind who just never stops believing.

Parting Ways
When precious things slip out of hand,
Without a word, just walking away,
You just stand still, watching yourself lose it all,
In that moment, tell me how does it feel to watch things fall?
If you ever feel that NOW you must leave!
For, the friend you loved, is no longer me.
Tell me once where is the change,
Leave, but only after you point out my mistakes.
'Cause silence sometimes is a melody to the soul,-
But sometimes it stabs you like nothing before.
And before, my friend, we part our ways, -
There's something you need to understand,-
Things never happen the way they were planned.
Things never happen the way they were planned.

Comfort in Silence
I can feel the stagnant waters,
Hear the fishes underneath.
I can talk to empty lanes,
Which bring back countless memories!
I can stare for hours at the sky,
Dance with branches of the trees and sing with the birds that fly.
I can sit with you and share nothing but silence,
Yet enjoy an extraordinary feeling of comfort and of calmness.
I can look at you and say everything that I must confess,
But some things are indeed better left unsaid.
