Selfish Love!!!

If I could prove my love and still be alive....

I could breathe some water and win some wars...
I could cry some fire and kill some stars...
I could walk some sea and run some wind...
I could drive the dragon and yet be blind...

But, I remembered you are right - I am selfish...
And I stopped my heartbeat and it's deathly wish!

- NOT another 'simple southy'.... Just call me a Madrasi...

p.s. Everything that rhymes is necessarily not Poetry...

Keep the Cheer!!

On Love!!

I lost me in you... and
Found you in me!
Tell me...
Did I lose or did I win?
It's not a game or a sin.

On Life!!

In the struggle called "LIFE", Giving Up is NOT an option But Getting Up is. So if you must fall down, make sure you land on your behind and not on your face.

Fight like a Spartan.... my friends!!!

Happy Valentines' Day to ALL my Single Friends!!!

I woke up this morning alone in my Queen size bed....
wondering why I din't just buy a plain full?
What was I expecting to achieve planning ahead?
Like I have been deemed the promise of a relationship!!
I laid back alone and smiled at my confidence.
The space next to me still so damn cold.
What have I done to not have someone?
Or is this God's idea of a practical joke?
I rolled out of bed... smelling the coffee ahead...
And looked around me and my sweet little home.
Is this all I have? An empty house to come back..
And my loneliness to hold and to boast?
Well, what happens to us is not our own will.
But there is a reason to all this madness.
When you go to bed and ask yourself...
What did I do to not have someone????
Remind yourself and all your single friends.
You are WHAT you are no matter who aint around.
And this is who you shall always proudly be....
The best lover you find is you yourself..
So Wake up and smile at me and THEE!!!

Who and What and Why?

There are times you ask questions
To find out Who and What and WHy?
But they may not always make sense
No matter how hard we think or try.

I learned to read these blank answers
With dark glasses and with no light
B'cos all that right now matters
Is to love you with eternal right.

Who's to tell which battle to chose
Or help us soar high up the sky...
Its just upto us to win or to lose
When God gave us broken wings to fly.

Nothing to pride nor regrets to be told
Is the way I see mine and your life
All we have's each other to love and to hold
Together we'll meet history with strife.

So wake up today to another long year
And chose to feel hope or fear or cry...
But remember whatever you chose my dear
Am your answer to the who, the what and the WHY??

LOVE!!!

I loved to play when I was a kid...
But competing for life is all I did.

I loved my dog but we never grew old...
Since he died on my lap and left me cold.

I loved to run like I was in a race...
But I lost sight of the finish line and my pace.

I loved a boy but the dude walked away...
When guys just leave why would I stay?

I loved a girl but it dint go very far...
Too much of estrogen, ended like a war.

I loved to write and surely write I will...
When the time I find would just stand still.

I loved my friend like my heart would burst...
She just shut me down and hurt me the worst.

I loved to paint in a magic coloring book...
But what's the fun when there's no child to look?

I still love to play, though I've grown up I think...
But time only stops for a brief smile and a wink.

God is Love, so I questioned "Where are you... my Lord?"...
The Third Eye winked to say "Right here my child... Love IS God".

2008 FOR ME!!!

Year's forecast - was majorly around material success and an optimistic love partnership. Am not referring to Pinar's cup reading alone it was also on yahoo but unfortunately nothing happened. So my hopes lie in 2009 (I am not optimistic man... I have no choice)

Best moments of the year -
1. Time spent with Pinar (and of course Shilla, Prerana (Jr), Nani (Pratibha), and Naureen)
2. Receiving my parents at the airport
3. Trip to LIPS
4. My ex-roomie's (Prathima & Mahesh) son Abhinav calling me 'atha' (aunt) for the first time over the phone

Dream come true: Zeenath (my Toyota Rav4)

Greatest Gain: Natie

Greatest Loss: Natie

Greatest Shock: Highest score on Karaoke at Jr. & Nani's place

Greatest Surprise: Chickenpox!!!

Most Unforgettable moment: Freaking Nanijaan on MSN Messenger (I AM WATCHING YOU... booo!!!)

Most Embarassing moment: Falling asleep on the chair at Natie's place watching Love Actually after making a big deal about wanting to watch it.

Weddings in the Family: 1

Deaths in the Family: 2

New Habit: Iced Lemon Tea / Zeera water

Lost Habit: None

Oath for the coming year: Be less of a workaholic and try to have more fun

Hope for the coming year: Find my lost childhood friend and sweet heart (Anita aka Jojo) - last I heard from her was back in 1996 or 1997 when she got married, she FOUND me to invite me for her wedding. Then somehow we lost each other again.

Favorite Movie: Mamma Mia (am crazy about this one)

All this new stuff for 2008 is all good and fine but I still am my own self and havent grown one bit and refuse to grow or unlearn anything that I have learnt so far. My Friends will still be my priority no. 1, and I will always love to drive, and play video games when am alone, and dance when am drunk, and laugh at myself as well as try my best to make people around me laugh at every possible thing under the sun.
