What He Had To Say ?

His Father Rushed Into The house Banging the Door By The Wall..
He could see his Eyes were swollen and Red Slightly..
Looking at which he cocooned himself quietly..
His father had a hard day at work so he's been to the local Bar..
He's scared of him for now so he's gazing at the previous scar..
He is 10. He Loves Drawing. He is surrounded by his crayons..
His father Howls at him and kicks him in the hand as a reaction to the mess..
He's crying now because there isn't anyone to bless..
He runs across the room to find a place besides his Toys..
His father is still Staring at him as he makes his way..
He looks at his father with all the fear and realizes he had a bad day..
Now His father looks at the mess of papers and colors..
His Son Left something on the floor which grabs his sight..
He uplifts the paper which is colored with crayons and scribbled some words in between..
Reading which he Feels guilty of being so mean..
His Father Cries for Being So Mad..
Cos His Son Just had to say 'I Love You, Dad' :)

Mumbai...My City!

A Long time Back I had a Little Conversation With A Random Old Man At Dadar ( Junction In Mumbai ) Station..! We were Talking about the Enormous Crowd and the Shocking way they were Hustling To Get On The Local Train..
The Question Just Happened To Slip From My Mind Onto My Tongue And Directly To His Ears And Rolled In His Mind!
"Was Mumbai Like This Before..?"
The Man Who Seemed to be Quite Responsive Earlier..Was Speechless !
Looking here and there..I Could Feel His Throat Being Choked Up !
Finally Answered.., (In Hindi) "Boy, You have no idea what You've asked Me..Back in those days, was the time when People Never Thought Seriously On The Name Of Their City...Mumbai Or Bombay ! (I Hope I Don't Get Smacked For This In The Mumbai That I Live Today)
Everything Was Calm Because Everything Was Simple..
I never denied when my Children wanted to Go Out Somewhere..! But Now I Do..Cos The World Around Me Asks Me For A Room For Denial ! This Is What Mumbai Has Become"
Some words which came out of his Mind Never Seem To Escape From Mine..
They Call Mumbai..The City That Possesses LIFE In It Every Single Moment..!
They Say.."Kuch Nahi Hoga India Ka..!"(Nothing Can Be Done About India)  I say..(Peacefully)"Leave India Then!"
Today 13.7.2011..Another Blast in 3 Different Places In Mumbai !
What Goes Around Comes Around..Right..? For My City, its the Sound Of Bombs!
Again Endless Suspects..Again Endless Court Sessions..Again Endless 'Breaking News' On Channels..!
May Be Some Company To Our Dear Old Baby 'Qasab' Who Is Happily Embraced By A Luxurious Life!
May Be My City Needs A Better Judiciary Handling These Cases..May Be Strict Enforcement And Security..May Be My City Needs A Social And A Political Makeover..But The Most Of All..My City Needs A Change!
I Seriously Hope In Future When A Child Is Asked To Write Few Lines On 'My City' Doesn't Write..
"My City Is Full Of Blasts"
I Remember A Line From a Famous Movie.."No Country In This World Is Perfect..We Need To Strive To Make It Perfect"
My City Craves For Awakening !
Thank You!

Diary Of a Clown

Oh! The people are in here and they're grabbing their seat all in a rush..
Well they ought to cos they're in Our world..Circus.
People step in for a while to scatter away their pain..
Oh! Ask me who hasn't ever Tapped feet out in Rain..
Well people call us with Many Discrete Names..
Joker..Clown..Buffoon..we always Pretend to Erase the Shame..
Oh! Today is a Big Day in the Month Of May !
Kids would want us to Make them mad in every possible way..
Oh! Now I'm here in the light with all white and a Mystic Red Curve on my Face..
As I Step ahead I Can Look the Tiny Tots Grinning at me with a Raise..
People Laugh..Some Glee...Few Applaud at the Sight..
Oh! Who knows about the death of my Mother..The previous Night..
I play with the colored Cue Balls..I Jump..I Make Faces..So they don't get Bored..
Oh! they are clueless how it feels never to get adored..
As I Keep On Moving..I glance at a Kid Wrapping the arm of his Mother looking at me..The Clown..
Looking at him..With the The Cue balls rolling in air..the Red curve on my face Gently falls down..
Welcome to my world Ladies and Gentlemen..
I am a Clown And I'm here To Entertain..
I Have to Make Everyone Out here Smile..
Even though Life Never Smiles At Me For a While..
Though Life Ain't loving me..Though Girls Don't Look at me..Though there ain't any close Mates..
I'll Make you roll in your Seats..I'll Make you Astound..Plus..Kids shout my name in their Town..
Who am I..?
A Clown :)

When we Said..We're Teenage*

Its the time you Feel you're Opening your eyes from your World To the Real..
The time when you realize..You ain't Unreal..
Its the Time you're Engrossed in Two things..Calls And Texts..
The time you always Anticipate What Next..?
Its the time You Feel Heaven to Smile at someone..
The time when you first say..Man! She's The One..
Its the time when You Feel Lively..
The time when you Laugh Out Loud..Truly..
Its the time when you Valued Every Single Penny..
The time you'd know very well, There's No Honey without Money..

Its the time You'd always Drop down your Jaw-Bone 
The Time You'd Realize..What The Hell Is Hormone.

Its the Time You'd Sometimes Feel A Silent Pain..
The Time you'd Cry At times in Rain..
Its the Time When You Come to Know the Road Has A Lotta Bends..
The Time You'd Feel Cherished To Have Some Idiots Besides Named..Friends
Its The Time You'd First Have Champagne And Wine..
The Time You'd Make Some Moments..Divine..
Its The Time When You've Had The Most Memorable Times..
The time when you First earned some Dimes..
Its the Time you built every Part Within you..
Happiness..Love..Care..Trust..Hope..Faith..Wrath..Greed..Pride..Lust..Guilt..Rage..
Yeah Darling..! You Got it Right..
The time when we said..We're Teenage*

The Angry Man

Every Time I Sign into the Blog I Look at the Old Posts, A thought Rolling in my mind as always..Should I Write the Next Post..? Hitting the keys on my keyboard in a stretch...Never looking at the screen...Then hitting the Backspace Key Calmly Till everything's White Again..I did It again Now...Oh My Gaawwd! That's Me..
Well..Today i don't think about how my words hit your mind or how deep the thought proves to be..Or whether you keep thinking on it for Some time or No..
I simply wish to Share a Small story that made my Jaw drop, My senses went for a toss..Eyes Wide Open..
Well..I was at a theater waiting for the Movie to start..As they say..the house was full..!
There was A Elite Crowd in the entire theater to be Frank..With the Pop-corns and Coke already in their hand and some holding it in their Armpits..Geeks!
So..Everyone's Talking with their fellow ones..Some Giggling..Some Eating already*
Whoooshhh! There is Silence all over..as everyone read the Message On Screen..
*Please Rise Up For The National Anthem*
Now everyone stood up..some stood up late though..Still Murmuring here and there..
Finally The Anthem Began..everyone stood straight staring at the screen..Thinking about the country for a Moment..
Now what Do I See..?
There's a Man Standing in the row next to mine popping his Head Ahead and Yelling at someone..
"Don't you Feel Ashamed..? Its the national anthem...Stand Up you shit head !!"
The guy was sitting 4 to 5 rows ahead from where the man was yelling from...
The Entire crowd Instantly drew their complete attention from the flag which was being hoisted on the screen towards the Man and the overall issue..to be Honest.. Me Too *Sigh* !
The man Kept yelling at the Guy..to which the guy just gave a look back to him as a reply to his Howling !
After the Anthem was over..This Angry Man went over to that particular guy's Row just to Slap him hard in his face..But he came back with his Anger abandoned..as he got a complete vision of the guy..
What did He See..?
What did he see..that made him come back as if he Didn't have a Mouth..at all..?
With his handkerchief in his hand..he kept rubbing his forehead with it again and again..!!
The movie already began so there was silence again..My Mind Firmly Stuck to The Question which is right now drifting in your Mind..What Did He see..?
Some People Started talking about the issue..these were the ones sitting near to the Angry Man..
It was then..when I Heard those words..
"Man..That Poor guy whom this Man Yelled at..didn't have Two Legs.."

Smile*

No Matter how badly you've lost..
Don't Lose Yourself at any cost..
There will always be a while..
Where you just need to Smile..
Ain't you finding that while..?
May be the pain seems to reside deep within..
But there's Nothing that can stop you to Begin..
Life seems to be a Mess..
Believe..You are Not Less..
People Criticize..?
He who wins..No matter what..always tries..
She/He Left you..?
Let them Realize..What you meant..When you said.."I love you"
People Find you Irritating..?
Don't Moan..You are the one who's 'Living'
Cry like a Baby if you want but Laugh like a Psycho always..
Let your heart break as many times it can..but Love with the same one Again and again..
You will live one day..where its not you but its your Life who is in Love With you..
At such a Moment..
Look within for a While..
And You Will See this thing On Your Face..Named..
Smile..*

Old Pair Of Glasses

As he stands near to the railing of the Bridge looking at the Sun Hiding beneath the clouds..And raindrops drizzling Slightly Everywhere..He Pulls Out His Old Pair Of Glasses To Look Through..
Through the Past 60 Years he has lived..Through The Present..Through the uncertain Days that are going to come..
He Remembers the time He Learned to Ride his Bi-cycle Making his father run behind him with every pedal he gave in..
He Remembers The time He Got his First Crush over his Class Mate At High School And never opening it up to anyone..
He Remembers Growing up as a Teenager Crippling To Be Heard..To Be Known..To Be Happy..
He Remembers The day when his dad left him with a mountain of Responsibilities..
He Remembers the time he fell in love With Someone he knew was made for him..
He Remembers..'Will You Marry Me..?'
He Remembers the Good Times..The Hard Times..
He Remembers adding up a member to his Family with the birth of his Child..
He Remembers His Wife leaving this world when he Needed Her the most..
He Remembers his son growing up and Moving Out of His Home Sweet Home..
He Remembers Growing Up Old As a Lonely Person..
He Remembers The Tears Shed..Days Engrossed in Pain..
He Remembers The Handful Happy Moments..
He Remembers..Making Way to this Bridge to find Himself Somewhere Deep Within..
As He Remembers..Tears Roll Down Over his Nose..Tears that Carried A Pure Thought that He Has Lived..No Matter What..
As He Takes A Step Back..He Glances at the Blue Skies..Smiles staring at them..Pats His Own Back..
And Gently Removes that thing Which Saw All the Phases Of Life Anytime And Everytime..His Old Pair Of Glasses..
:)
