Home is where the heart is
And you've given it to me
I hope you stay here for the rest of your life
I hope we can decorate it together
I hope we can paint it with the colour of our love
My heart before was an unfurnished room...
...damaged and desolated
Cracks on the walls
A leaky ceiling
Broken mirrors
Faulty lights
But then you came and renovated and refurnished it in the most beautiful manner imaginable
Honestly it looks great now
And the view from the verandah is fantastic...
I love you
I treasure you
I cherish every moment spent with you
With you by my side...
...everyday is a festival

When someone says something hurtful to you,demeans you,insults you or humiliates you....you will feel angry and hurt and undoubtedly you have every right to feel so...but at that moment tell yourself this-"i will never do this to any person, what this person just did to me."

No one on the planet can motivate you quite like yourself...the reason is pretty simple...there's simply no substitute for you.

I am what keeps you burning
I am what keeps you running
I make you see fancy dreams
I make you greedy
I make you make push your boundaries
I am what keeps you strong
I am what breaks your heart
I am what dangles the carrot in front of you and teases you
I am beautiful
I am necessary
But i'm also evil
'Coz i feed off the soul
I Am HOPE.....

We as a society are so very judgemental.We are so quick to jump the gun and pass a judgement on someone without even attempting to dig deep and find the actual facts.Things are not always what they are presented as.There's an actual story behind the story.Jumping to a conclusion and actually arriving at a conclusion are two completely different things...while the former displays a lack of patience and total disregard for the brain,the latter shows intent to analyse and investigate and actual and proper usage of the grey matter.It's pretty unfortunate that the society we live in is generally plagued by the former.

I sometimes wonder-"who gave us the right to judge someone?"...certainly not GOD.What are we?...the moral police?...the epitome of ideal human beings?..before you judge someone and criticize someone...always remember...we all have ***** skeletons concealed in our closet which we would'nt want anyone to know about.So just be a bit more considerate and compassionate...the person who's going through a tough time doesn't need your rough words...neither does he need your help...but a few warm and encouraging words would go a long way in telling him as to exactly what kind of a person you are.

I saw you the other day
With another guy
How quickly you've moved on
How quickly you said goodbye
Don't you ever go back in time
And remember those days
Days when we lived for each other
Days when we breathed each other's name
Days when distance didn't matter
Days when the bed was our favourite companion
Days when the constellations were our sheets
Days when our dreams were our guiding force
It's barely been a month..
..since you deserted me
And you seem to be totally unaffected
It's like you're having the time of your life
It hurts me to see you this way
I can't think of living a day without you
But now seeing you with somebody else
Makes me wish i'd never met you in the first place

You said we can't be together
Do me a favour then
Just every now and then...
..pay me a visit in my dreams
Sure,i wouldn't be able to love you in reality
But just the thought of loving you...
...would be comforting
'Coz in my thoughts you are the beginning,the middle and the end

When the heart and the mind are having a dispute,don't be quick to jump the gun and lean on one side...give both of them a fair hearing and then come to a decision.

If love were to be measured in monetary terms
Then i've been a beggar for many years now
I've tried playing lottery
But so far no luck
In fact it's mostly gone south
I've lost more than i've got
So i've now decided to enjoy the serenity of isolation
If something good comes my way.....great
If not....
...then it'll just be me,nature and my best friend loneliness...
...till the end of time

Why do we fall?
So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.-Batman begins

When you tell me that you love me
My heart skips a thousand beats
And i feel a gazillion times stronger

When you kiss me
I feel this incredible rush of energy surging through my veins

When you make love to me
I feel more alive than ever before

When you hold me in your arms
I feel more safer than anywhere else

When i look into your eyes
I can see the galaxy personified

You are my sun
You are my moon
You are my comfort pillow
You are my consoling shoulder
And no matter what
We'll always be one

Sometimes we do a certain thing not because we want to do it but because it is the right thing to do.

You are darkness
You are light
You are a menace
You are a delight
You mock me
You shock me
You motivate me
You captivate me
Fantasy's child
Lust personified
Deadly nightmare
Beautiful meteorite
Poisonous kryptonite
You are the sun that keeps me warm
You are the cold wind that freezes my spirit
You make me smile
You make me cry
You are courage
You are fear
You are destruction
You are ressurection
You are life
You are death
You are the beginning
You are the end
What are you?
A dream
A nightmare
An illusion
A reality
A mirage
A conundrum
Are you the answer to my tired and lonely soul?
Are you the one who will complete me?
It's hard to live with you
And even harder to live without you

Life doesn't have to be perfect.It just has to be lived...the happy moments have to cherished and the tough ones survived.Life is like sand..the more you try to hold it,the more it keeps slipping through your fingers.There's no point in trying to find a meaning in everything.The depths of life are unfathomable...there is no end...it's till infinity and beyond.So stop analysing and thinking so much...take in whatever life has to offer you...the good,the bad and the ugly...give ur best in each and everything you do in life and make sure that by the end of it all you have assembled together a collection of awesome memories and things you can be proud of.

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?
Airports and train stations see it all the time
When someone's last goodbye
Blends in with someone's sigh
Why is it so hard to accept that you might never see someone again?
The someone who means so much to you
The someone who says he will return someday
But never does
It's like the darkness coming into your life
...and switching off all the lights
And all you're left with are the distant memories
And thoughts of what could've been
There is none to hear your cries
Just you and the empty skies
But you still hope against hope that someday that person will return
You call him
You mail him
But you never get no reply
You sometimes go to the airport
And look at people waiting for their loved ones
In hand a rose
'Coz someone's coming home
And you wish you were that person
So...why is it so hard to say goodbye?
'Coz maybe you get a premonition of the sense of finality
'Coz maybe you can clearly see...
...this is the end
There is no road up ahead
And the person who meant the world to you
Will be the one who will destroy your world

Sleep has deserted me tonight
Post midnight
It's just me,the empty streets,the constellations and the moonlight
The quiteness all around is haunting
Save for the odd eerie cries of the night owl
A nice cool breeze is blowing across
The sound of the treeleaves fluttering is so *******
I'm out on the rooftop
I'm trying to write
But thoughts refuse to come to my aid tonight
I'm blowing smoke puffs into the air
Trying to give the impression that 'bout nothing do i care
I'm feeling bored
So i start chatting with my dreams
We often interact with each other..
..share stories and give each other advice
Then fear comes along and joins the conversation
He asks me about my greatest fear?
And i reply that my greatest fear is that one day i will have no fear left to deal with
And that day i'll be finished
'Coz without the most powerful impulse of the human spirit...
...how will i push myself?
So there i am staring at a blank page
Feeling frustrated
Scratching and banging my head
What the **** is wrong with me?
Why can't i write?
Where have the words disappeared?
It's like my brain's gone in a state of hibernation
I just can't get no inspiration
I listen to some music
Even that doesn't help
So i take some pills and decide to sleep it off
And when i wake up and the first rays of the sun hits my face
I see the most amazing sunrise
And like a kid's first run
It all comes back to me
The thoughts are born
Ideas arrive
The imagination starts to run wild
Words get created
I'm punching the keys of my laptop
And all's well in my mind again

Always remember...in life somedays you will be the pigeon and somedays you will be the statue.Sometimes the circumstances are such that you can't do much save for being patient and surviving the storm.There will be times when you will feel angry and helpless...the challenge is to maintain your sanity amongst the chaos.Keep fighting,never give up and always maintain a positive attitude...'coz the biggest battle that we fight in life is with ourselves...remember after winter there always comes spring..so always try to be optimistic.

When you have someone in your life whom you can refer to as your own in every sense of the word,who will never mislead you,never misguide you,never let you down,help you get through the testing times,who will cheer you up when you're down and out,who will make you laugh,someone who will make you feel safe,listen to what you have to say,who may disagree with you but will respect your view,who will always lend a helping hand,who values you,cherishes you,loves you for what you are,who will always support you and be there for you no matter what...**that is when you know that you are truly rich

Time waits for no one..
That's what i'd heard
But whenever i'm with you
You prove this saying wrong
'Coz when i'm with you...
...time stands still
The stars come out to play at night more often
The moon seems to smile more
The clouds seem more beautiful
The sun seems to shine stronger
My soul feels glad
And my world seems so much brighter
I wish you're the one i can die with

As you look at me with those seductive eyes
I can tell that you want me
As you slowly undress me with your words
Bit by bit
Layer by layer
And arouse a fire of passion within me
I feel stimulated like never before
I'm losing control over my senses
I just wanna get lost in you
Hold me tight
Till the end of the night
Let there be no distance...no space
I just wanna feel your warm embrace
My bed has been a witness to my loneliness
Let it see the unision of two souls tonight
Let my morning be different for a change

What others think of you should matter to you only in those cases when those others really matter to you.

If you truly love someone you will set     that person free.-Sting

My life is like an half-empty diary
There's not much to see
There's not a whole lot of characters
It's mainly just me

Thoughts are my friends
And imagination-my lover
Something inside of me tells me
That's it's gonna stay like this forever

Words help me breathe
Dreams help me sleep
If it were'nt for these two
God knows how much i'd weep

Love- i am not capable of
Lust is something i can't resist
No matter how much i try
It is something with which i'll always persist

My life has been an unfulfilling one
One full of regrets
Ugly and ***** skeletons occupy
The cupboards and the closets

I don't have no real achievements to talk about
No medals or trophies to flaunt
A peaceful and painless death
That is all i want

I love it when you hold me tight
I love it when you get a firm grip on me
I love it when kiss me with intense passion
I love it when you rip my lingerie apart
I love it when you spread my legs and ******* sweet nectar with great intent and purpose...
...i love how you take your time while doing that
I love it how you pay attention to every inch of body
From head to toe
Hips to lips
Eyes to thighs
Nothing is ignored
I love it when you make my hormones go bezerk
I love it when you take me to that state of trance
I love how you make my entire body,mind and soul burn with desire
I love it when you blow my mind with your powerful thrusts
I love it when you pound my pleasure walls
I love it how you caress my *******
I love it when you make me feel sensations i've never felt before
I love it how each and every day how you make me want you more
I love how during winters we keep swimming in a sea of blankets
I love how i get to wake up to your sweet face
I love it when we watch sunsets together
I love it when we dance in the rains
I love how you pleasantly surprise me every now and then
I love that you are patient with me
I love that you are honest with me
I love how i can talk with you for hours about anything
I love it when you remember birthdays and anniversaries
I love that you never give up
I love that you are resilient in the face of adversity
I love how you've always got a smile on your face
I love how you motivate me
I love that you take care of me
And let me take care of you
Darling i'm half a body without your embrace
Thank you for being always being there for me

My name is Philip Brooks.I am a reporter and i work for a small news agency in London.I had once to gone to Syria to cover a story.As soon as i landed there i got the sense that i had stepped into dangerous waters.
I felt like i was going to be constantly scrutinised here.I teamed up there with a local journalist named Ahmed.He arranged an accomodation for me which was pretty close to where he lived.I was totally famished that day.So i skipped dinner and just threw myself on the bed.

The next morning Ahmed picked me up at around 8:00.We were supposed to interview this tribal warlord regarding a high-profile ******.We travelled for about an hour and then entered this dingy lane.When we entered his territory i was petrified.There were innumerable gunmen stationed all across.Ahmed told them that we were 'Sahafis'
which means reporters.They let us in.We then entered the warlord's chamber.His face was ugly and horrific to look at.It was covered with scars.Ahmed started conversing with him in their native language.I too had some questions which Ahmed translated and asked him for me.He got agitated but gave the answers.This was all going well when we heard some firing outside.We ran out and out of nowhere a bullet hit Ahmed on the head and he died instantly.I was now staring death in the face.I started running helter skelter.I somehow managed to get to the main road.I saw a woman there and told her what happenned.Luckily she understood English.She had a motorcycle.We sat on it and rode off.

We reached my place.I came to know that she too is a journalist and had been covering this story for a while now.Her name was Nadia.She too had lost a colleague who was covering this story.She had those deep mysterious eyes and apple red lips.She was a bit dimunitive in stature but seemed pretty strong.She had a strong perfume on her the smell of which was hard to forget.She also told me that some big names were involved in the ****** and that i should go away if i wanted to live.But i asked her to help in this investigation.After much deliberation she agreed.

The next day we went to a Minister's office and started our investigation.The next day we met up with a retired police chief.We got some more information from there.Gradually the more time we began to spend together,the more closer we got and before we knew it i was madly in love with her.My work in Syria was almost over now.One night after our work we went to her place.She took me to her bedroom and we made passionate love.

The next morning when i woke up i could'nt find her.I searched the entire house.I then saw a hand-written note on the bed.The note read-"Dear Philip i know that over the past month or so we've gotten very close to each other.You have feelings for me and i can't say that i don't.Truth is you are not safe with me and i wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything ever happened to you.So please go away from here...back to your country where you will be safe.Please don't look for me.Don't worry your love will keep me safe.".....♥Nadia(the heart can't always have it's way.)

I was left speechless.I tried to find her many times after that but all in vain.Finally the day arrived when i had to leave.I had an evening flight.I reached barely in time.As i was about to enter the airport i saw Nadia.She had come to say goodbye.Tears streamed down face..i had never felt such a strong connection with anyone ever before.She consoled me and said that she would come to London.I gathered myself back and kissed her.Then as she started to walk away from me and the distance between us grew...**i knew i'd never see her again but i also knew that i'd never forget her

Best friends are the siblings GOD forgot to give us.

The charm of life lies in it's unpredictability..you just never know what's coming.No matter how much you plan and prepare,life is always hellbent on creating it's own twists and turns.So stop planning and start living.

Life's a great leveller...one day you're on top and the next day you're a complete flop.So don't take anything for granted.Life changes like the seasons.You'll experience the harsh winters and you'll also get cheerful spring.Nothing lasts forever save for the bonds you've created with the special ones in your life.So value and cherish those special ones 'coz after all they are who make life worth living.

Silence never yet betrayed any one!-Antoine de Revarol

Love and oxygen is all you need
Rest are merely accessories

First i'd break through the egg
With closed eyes i'd enter the world
Oblivious of everything around me
I'd be making those weird cute noises
My parents would guard me...
Feed me
Watch me grow
Gradually i'd be growing feathers
And then finally that moment would arrive...
...my first flight!
Oh what a thrill!
My parents and siblings would look at me with such eager anticipation
Imagine the excitement i'd be feeling!
Imagine the pressure!
My parents would be encouraging me
And then gathering courage...
...i'd start flapping my weathers with great intensity
Gathering momentum
And then voila!
I'd be off
No one can catch me now
Pumping those feathers with sheer ferocity
Cutting through the air
Gliding smoothly
I'd be roaming across the vast sky
Sailing through the clouds
Getting up close with them
Oh what a feeling!
I'd go wherever i want
Whenever i want
Then someday i'd settle down
And start a family
I'd build the most beautiful nest
Then my kids would grow up
And someday they too would fly away in the distant sky

Lamha lamha intezar kiya
Jis lamhay ka
Woh lamhay aaya bhi toh
Bas ek lamhay ka liyay
(The above language is a mixture of Hindi and Urdu.)

English translation

Every single moment
I waited for that moment
And when that moment did arrive
It lasted merely for a moment

In the beginning it wasn't easy
The tides were rough
The going was tough
The weather was adverse
The sailing was anything but smooth
At first we hated
We couldn't stand each other
There was constant firing from both ends
And we both had to take cover
Then like civilized people we discussed and debated
Whether we were right for each other
Finally we concluded that we should give ourselves a chance
And do that sinful dance
And now after a year
We both are happy and secure
..there is no fear
Our evenings are fulfilling
And nights are thrilling

Amazing how things work out if we give them a chance to work out

I believe the Lord always hears our prayers even if sometimes the answer is 'no'.-Deep Impact

You gave me so much love and adulation
Alas i can't give you much
Coz i've nothing
Childhood took my innocence away
Teenage years took my sanity away
Adulthood took my dignity away
And now life has taken time away
And now as i'm left alone with my room and empty walls
I wait patiently to be taken away from this world
No one hears my cries save for the walls
The mirror is my only friend
It's been with me through every thick and thin
Whenever i looked into it there wasn't much of a face looking at me
Rather it was the vision of a daily predicament...
...somehow getting through the day unscathed
Poverty and desperation are pretty powerful motivators
It makes you do things you don't want to
I sold my soul to the devil a long time ago
I still feel the repercussions
I'm sorry for all the wrongs i did to you
I hope you will understand why i did what i did

Do you dare to bare your soul in front of me
Don't be scared
I'll be gentle
I won't rush
I won't be aggresive
I'll merely keep peeling layer after layer till i reach the innermost core of your heart
I'll break down every single wall you've built around yourself
I want to explore the depths of your soul
I want to strip you off your sense of morals
And expose the real you
The wild you
The unrestrained you
The vulnerable you
The fearless you
The fierce you
The seductive you
The temptress you
The unseen you
The wonderful you
The horrific you
The you who is much more than what meets the eye
The you who has so much more to offer

So i ask you again-"are you ready to take that leap of faith with me?"
I can't promise you a smooth ride
But i will promise you a safe conclusion

If 'a' is success then a=x+y+z,
Where x is work
..y is play
And z is keeping your mouth shut-Albert Einstein

Experience is a pretty cool teacher.It takes the exam first and then gives the lesson.

I've become addicted to you
I can't think of nothing else
You're like a habit now
You're like nicotine
I wanna feel you on my lips all the time
You've spread like cancer in my body
It's too late now
You're a part of my existence
You tease and excite every bone in my body
You make my heart rush
Under the sheets with you is where i wanna be
I wanna get lost in you
I wanna be devoured by your fury
I wanna be engulfed by your passion
I wanna be destroyed by you
Come...take my soul..it's yours

If you have to think and measure your words before speaking to the person you love
Then i'm afraid you're with the wrong person

If living life is an art
Then finding someone who loves you for what you are is like creating the ultimate masterpiece

Lets dance tonight
Under the moonlit night
With the constellations as the viewers
And the chilling zephyr as our companion
A year of togetherness is something to cherish
We've both been through many horrors
So this was quite the soothing balm we needed
When i first met you...i knew it for sure
That for my bruised heart...you were the only cure
Your strong mind and warm heart
Is something i've appreciated right from the start

Let's make love tonight like never before
There's no end tonight
Just constant rolling under the sheets...
...with the stars as our ceiling

Let's dive into each other's souls
And see if we can find any hole...
...and if we do we'll fill it up with love

This is just the beginning
There's plenty more miles to go
There's no rush
We'll be steady....
We'll be slow...

Tonight i want to make you a promise....
I'll help you face all your fears
I'll be there to catch your tears
I'll love you as long as i live
Till my dying breath i'll only be yours

I haven't seen GOD
But i have seen an angel in the form of you

What is love but a creature waiting to be unbound
What is love but a four letter word which cannot be described in words
What is love but a sin you so want to commit
What is love but a true awakening of the senses
What is love but unrestrained lust
What is love but a taste of seduction
What is love but the sweetest insanity
What is love but a process of constant discovery
What is love but pleasure fraught with pain
What is love but a bit of adjustment
What is love but a walk on flames
What is love but music in it's purest form
What is love but passion in it's rawest form
What is love the highest form of spirituality
What is love but being selfless
What is love but motivation
What is love but sacrifice
What is love but being fearless
What is love but a leap of faith
What is love but unleasing the monster that resides within you
What is love but the best and worst of us

Love is what makes us
Love is what breaks us
Love is what creates us
Love is what destroys us
Love is the beginning
Love is the end
The rest in between are blurry lines...tiny fragments of memories which we stack up in bookshelves of our mind
Every now and then we access the fond ones just to feel good about ourselves
Truth is we will never be perfectly happy in love
We just have to work with what we've got

You came into my life as the most beautiful dream
But later you turned into a nightmare and all i wanted to do was scream
You were kind,sincere and humble
Where then all of a sudden did you stumble?
Through your eyes i'd seen the most amazing time
But then you shattered my heart and committed an unforgivable crime
I'd given every iota of my soul to you
My heart beated for you
My eyes only saw you
Every inch of my skin felt you
You taught me to love life
I'd even pictured you as my wife
But then you just cut my heart with a knife
I had nothing but 'love' for you in my heart
But now i'm afraid of this four letter word
Now when i see you carrying on with your life it hurts so much
You've moved on as if nothing ever happened
While i'm left with a broken heart and a battered spirit
How could you do this?
How did you change so much?
Why did you change?

It's not easy to move on.It's not easy to detach yourself from a bond or a connection which has been a significant part of your life for a considerable amount of time.It's not easy to imagine your life without someone who has meant a lot to you.It's not easy to accept that one fine day someone just doesn't love you no more.It cuts like a knife.

There is no specific method or formula for moving on.It is a painful process.You've gotta give it time.First a day,then a week,a month and finally a year.The most important thing in order for you to move on is this-you need to tell yourself why you felt what you felt for the concerned person and why you no longer need to feel it.Once you do this the process will become somewhat easier.It's also important that during this challenging phase you don't shut yourself out.Talk to your parents and friends.Distract your mind by keeping yourself busy.
And ultimately you will find that slowly but surely you've moved on.

I'm drowning in your love
Please let me
Don't hand me any straws to clutch on to
I'm just getting started
I wanna sink to the bottom

The moment you start having expectations that is when your life gets complicated
So keep it simple
Do your work without expecting anything in return
And when you do get those pleasant surprises...
...you'll cherish them even more

A 1000 miles away from home
I miss my family so much
When those nights get cold and lonely
I long for a healing touch

I haven't seen my kids in a while
They must've grown a lot
My heart just aches and cries when haunted by their thought

It's been so long since i've seen my wife
She is the one who gives a purpose to my life
I miss her voice
I miss her smile
I miss her laugh
I miss everything about her

Darling.....
...without you a day feels like a millenium
And a month feels like an eternity
The sun doesn't seem to shine no more
The moon don't seem beautiful no more
Food don't taste good no more
Music don't sound sweet no more
The TV don't seem interesting no more
The emptiness of my bed just seems to eat me up

I'm stuck here in this war zone for reasons not known to me
Chaos and depression...
...that is all i see
I promise to be back as soon as i can
Back to your warm embrace...
...that is where i belong
'Coz without you i'm a body with no soul

Dear lover,
                   This is my first letter to you in quite a while
You came into my life
And filled my empty canvas with an array of beautiful colours
Now my soul doesn't sport a solitary colour
It is an assortment of hues
You've pretty much resurrected my life
You've given me a reason to live
I smile more often now
The skyline of my life is witness to a rainbow more often
But it's been a while since we've seen each other
I've been out of the city for work
I miss you so much
How've you been?
Not a moment goes by when you don't occupy my mind
In the summers you're the cool shade i long for
During winter you're my cozy comfort
You mean everything to me
The days here without you are so hard to pass by
I hope we can make it through till the end of time
I love you and cherish every moment spent with you
I'll be back soon

                                            Take care
                                            Yours only

Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts-Percy Bysshe Shelley

If you're upset with me
Then shout at me
Scream at me
Scold me
Argue with me
But please don't give me the silent treatment
'Coz when you do that my heart virtually stops beating
