Celeb teachings!

 When I was first told that you can learn from all and sundry, I was quite sceptical, specially the sundry part; but now after joining the banking industry I have learnt that sundry is a very important account, specially when it comes to banking and more importantly the life.

So I took upon a list of things that one can learn from people:

1. SRK: One can learn, how not to talk about subjects which you are not really well versed with; don’t believe me, look at him, he is in far lesser controversies than before.

2. Nirmal Baba: People will listen to any crap advice, and will follow them, if you charge them 10% of their salary. Disappointed smile

3. Paris Hilton: If you have the looks, no matter what you do, you will be missed, so do spend some extra time in gym & some money on the looks, + look good on whatever you are doing, you might be facing camera, who knows!

4. Abishekh Manu Singhvi: Pay & treat your driver(key men) well, they wont have any reason to put your dirty laundry to dry in public.

5. Barak Obama: Get what you could till you can, you may not get a second term. That Nobel prize is quite a thing you know.

6. Shahid Kapoor: Break up can be a blessing in disguise. Don’t hide in your room, meet new people. Winking smile

7. Saif Ali Khan: Hook up may not always be a blessing.

8. Bejan Daruwala: Well, I was told 7 is lucky for me, so I am stopping here. Hope you gain something too! Smile with tongue out

9. Shashi Tharoor: Don't comment on something, using phrases which do not match up with local sensibilities, you might have to give up your elite position and join the cattle club. 

10. N D Tiwari: You are as young as you make your body feel.

Just wind; river and moon!


In a small town;
in the country side;
after dark;
after sleep has taken its toll;
In the silence of the night;
by the dark window;
sits a young widow;
with a twinkle in her eye;
calling out to the stars;
with her soothing smile;
looking up to the sky;
as her hair;
take to the air;
a serene beauty;
she does not object;
she does not
run a finger through them;
she closes her eyes;
lets the gentle wind;
feels the breeze;
livening up her smile.
I seat in shadow;
of a tree;
bewitched;
fixed in my gaze;
she served me all morning;
and never did I
see the person;
behind those rough hands;
rough by her karma;
the mundane house work;
fourteen hours behind curtains;
the unbreakable prison;
the invisible chains;
the prison of clothes;
the chains of traditions;
slave by day;
night is hers;
freedom she seeks;
freedom to feel;
just nature;
no lust;
no love;
just wind, river and moon!
that’s all;
what made her smile;
her smile!
Dancing in moon light;
singing all alone
to herself;
till the crack of dawn;
she smiled away;
and then
the prison;
the chains;
recaptured her;
resting her spirit;
she went on working;
working all the day;
serving;
not uttering a word;
that sweet voice;
was lost by day;
I
nor the hero;
neither the villain;
but a mere spectator;
each night;
each day;
and the days to come
and nights to come……..
Just wind; river and moon!

Hey Lady!

Hey lady!

One with

deep brown eyes;

dancing steps;

Will you be my Valentine?

Hey lady!

One with

cream touch;

singing lips;

Will you hold my hand?

Hey lady!

One with

flowing hair;

uncertain mind;

Will you be mine?

Hey lady!

One with

rosy cheeks;

embarrassed face;

Will you embrace me?

Hey lady!

One with

my heart;

of her own mind;

Will you marry me?

Hey lady!

One with;

my name;

smell of a fresh shower;

Will you walk along with me?

Hey lady!

One with;

me;

graceful ways;

Will you be my Valentine- forever?

The End!

Is it end of the world?
or is it,
Just me?
That song,
the song,
that made our hearts cry,
with joy,
is being played again
There is no feeling
this time.
Was it you?
The first time,
and I joined in?
Or is it?
Just me?
This time
playing in the rain,
this time
crest fallen in the downpour
I cant hear a thing
other than
the song
what is he saying?
A gun in hand,
its pointed
at me.
Why?
Numbness.
Its not a dream,
It can’t be shaken away
He is smiling
unlike you
yours was
the one to die for
Why am I not with you?
When was last time?
I saw your face?
not this morning
not yesterday
at dinner
I was with you
but not with you
its been a long time
I have been running
running a race
is it time?
Time to lose?
Have I lost you?
have lost the time
I should have been with you
Where am I?
Is this our bed?
No, this seems harder,
rougher,
on the edge
of something
something grey
and
dry brown!
I am moving,
rolling over,
Is he kicking me?
Yes,
He is,
That grass
looks greener
on other side
other side of street
We picnicked once there
It was so much fun
It is,
When did it all start?
When did it all went wrong?
When did I make a false move?
I had not planned to be here
We had not dreamed this
Is it the end
Can’t I go back
He is pointing the gun
again
at me,
my eye
Fire!
Aaaaaaahhhhh
Here you are,
besides me,
I am all wet,
Was it?
Just a dream?
Then,
Why is there a bullet in my hand?

Dosti

Na kuch tumne kahan,
na kuch humne kahan,
buss chupki liye hum,
zindagi bitate chale gaye,
tum apne karmose,
hum apne karmose jujte chale gaye,
kabhi hum dost the,
aaj bhi hain;
par dosti kahin gum hain,
kisi mod pe,
takrayenge kabhi hum,
toh kya pehchan hogi
ek duge ki?
na jane,
kaise
ajnabi
ban jayenge
jigri dost bhi
yun kabhi.......
ek shabdh, ek awaz
ek pal ki duri na thi kabhi
phir kya pata
ek pal bhi dekhenge
ek dujhe ko bhi
Na kuch tumne kahan,
na kuch humne kahan,
samay ki duri hai
mushkil badi
hath mile
par
kya dil milenge abhi
kya wo halki si muskan
banegi tahako ki hassi
chutkiyo main plan honge 
kya phir kabhi?
bin bole
kya samjhenge 
wo baat unkahee?
ya phir
busss yunh hi
bhul jayenge
wo sath bitaye 
pal sabhi
ya phir koi banayenge
yadgar koi?
Na kuch tumne kahan,
na kuch humne kahan,
