I'm not that good at poetry
'Coz i got no sense of rythm or rhyme
I simply write my heart out
Is that a crime?
Punctuations,stanzas,italics and all other such nuances never made no sense to me...
...i never really got that stuff
For me...poetry is all about gathering your thoughts and expressing them in the best words you can find...
...that is of the essence to me
I share a pretty personal connect with my poems
They constantly motivate me and keep reminding me of what i'm capable of
There are many times when i wish i was the character of my poems
One of these days i feel like my brain is gonna explode...
...and i'm gonna lose all my poetic juices
And i'll be sitting up in my bed...
...crying my heart out
And there'll be no one to catch my tears...

Be it a relationship or health or work or academics...you have to keep working at it constantly...you can never be complacent.

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.

You gave me a reason to live
Little did i know that you'd be the one who would execute my soul
My world came crashing down
The ground slipped off my feet
And i was all but up in flames
I guess i just never saw it coming
The lesson i learnt was that no matter how assured you might be of something
No matter how much confidence and trust you might have in someone
Never take nothing for granted
The unexpected is like a vicious and sly snake
It can strike you anytime

Never say-will i be able to do it?
Rather say-i can do it if i want to

Sometimes you think you know a person quite well....like almost in and out...and it's only later that you are surprised to learn new things about him or her and see a completely new side to his or her personality...it's like your senses have betrayed you so to speak...you feel as if an act of drama or a play had been going on for so long and you wonder as to what more is in store...sometimes i feel even a lifetime of togetherness doesn't provide you with all the clues regarding the other person....but the amazing thing is ...forget the other person for a moment...just think about yourself and ask yourself this question...'do you ever really know yourself?'..can we ever really figure ourselves out?...what we feel?..what we want?...what we need?....how much is enough?...and try to be honest with the answer...I mean sure there are those rare moments when we do have clarity of thoughts...but mostly our lives are just lived based on a combination of hope,uncertainty,confusion,efforts,instincts and going with the flow.

Loving you wasn't worth the effort
Hating someone isn't in my nature
And thinking about you isn't worth the time
So i've decided that i won't even waste an inch of my mind over you
It's not gonna be easy
But i'm ready to move on
'Coz i know for sure that life has better things in store for me

If one were paid for dreaming
Then i would'nt have had to work a single day in life
There is no sweet escape as a dream
There are no boundaries here
Nothing is wrong or right
Nothing is off limits
There are no rules here
As your mind wanders through every nook and corner of your imagination
You just feel this incredible surge of energy
Its hard to describe the feeling
Probably something close to sheer bliss
As long as you see it...you don't think about nothing else
Your focus is on your dream
And then when you finally wake up and are pushed back to the harsh world of reality
You feel this sense of dejection and helplessness
You long to see the dream again
And wish it were to come true someday(no matter how distant it might seem)
We humans share an interesting relationship with our dreams
Some motivate us
Some scare us
Some propel us ahead
Some hold us back
But for as long as we are in the world of dreams
It just gives you these incredible moments...
Moments that your life might never give you

Despite all the problems in your life..if you think and analyse closely..you will find that there are more reasons to smile than to frown..it's just that your fears and insecurities fill you with negativity and make you believe otherwise.

Come near
Let go of your fear
And just say those three words i so wanna hear!
Don't think
Just say it without a blink
I've already fallen for you
Please join me and make me feel brand new
My soul lusts for you
My heart thirsts for you
Please make me wait no more

I have a thousand reasons to love you
But i can't find a single reason to hate you or dislike you or be with upset or angry with you
And believe me....i've tried really hard to find that one reason

Do not judge a man by his past...what he is now matters more.

Behind every smile there is a story.

Helping someone with the intention of expecting something in return is not really displaying genuine kindness or generosity...it's more like a business transaction.

That funny and weird feeling you get when your birth date catches up with your age!

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

Sometimes i wish the best memories of my life could just be frozen in time and suspended by an invincible thread...if only time would wait...then i could've enjoyed and relived those wonderful moments over and over again...i wish there was a replay button so that i could hang on to those memories a little longer...i've often wondered as to whether the upcoming memorable moments or sweet memories of my life that i might have are gonna be able to match the previous ones i've had....i think it's more often than not a bit difficult to top the previous ones but somehow good things happen in our lives and we keep on believing that the best is yet to come and there are gonna be a lot of great memories that are certainly gonna supersede the previous ones...i guess it's this combination of belief and hope that keeps one going."

No matter the number of moments of joy and happiness i might have had in my life....i still believe and constantly keep telling myself-'the best is yet to come.'

When you touch and feel, it is desire
But when you don't touch and feel,it is love

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

As long as you've got a heart that's beating you cannot even think of giving up...it would tantamount to a crime if you did so.

Always keep studying and exploring yourself...you will keep discovering something new and at times even surprising aspects about yourself.

Sometimes even the worst endings are not really endings at all-The Originals

One of the hardest things to do in this crazy,messy and chaotic world is to be yourself...and the truth is you can't be yourself if you don't truly know yourself.

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

Sometimes you have to let go no matter how much it hurts,no matter how much those sweet memories keep flooding your mind..sometimes there comes a time when you can only try so much to save a damaged or lost cause.It will hurt for sure.When you've had someone special or experienced something magical and suddenly it reaches a stage where you have to quit even after trying a lot....just this acceptance in itself is hard to take.It takes an insane amount of courage to do this...but such is life.Sometimes somethings are just not meant to be and you have to brave and honest enough to see it and take that hard decision.

I've seen the way you look at me
The way you take in every bit of me
The passion in your eyes
The lust in your eyes
That hungry look in your eyes
This incredible fire that burns in your eyes
And i'm afraid that one of these days
..i might be tempted to be engulfed by your flames

It's perfectly fine to feel emotionally tired...sometimes even the heart needs a break...don't be too ******* yourself...just breathe and try to relax.

You see the thing about winning is..if you believe you're gonna win then odds are you will win-Foxcatcher

I don't want someone who will shower me with gifts
Neither do i want someone who takes me places
Material aspects of life are like dust
I just need a shoulder to lean on
I need someone who is patient enough to listen to me
I just need someone to cuddle me on those cold nights
I just need someone who will be there to catch my tears
I just need someone who will help me walk through every fear
I just need someone who motivates me when i'm falling weak
I just need someone with whom i can share almost everything
I just need someone with whom i don't have to think before speaking
I just need someone who respects me for the person i am inside...
I just need someone who takes care of me and lets me take care of him
I just need someone who gives me a reason to fall in love with him every single day of my life
I just need someone who makes me smile like no one has ever done before
I just need someone in whose arms i wouldn't mind dying
People tell me that i'm naive to expect all the above qualities in a person...
But i'm hopeful that someday i will meet someone who will sweep me off my feet and make me feel like a million bucks
The path of love is never easy
There are plenty of ups and downs
The journey is a challenging one
But sometimes if you are lucky enough along the path you meet someone special who makes the journey worthwhile
I don't know if i'll ever find someone
But the thing is that i've been married to optimism for many years now
So remaining hopeful is the only way i feel and think

Forgiveness is releasing a prisoner and then realizing that the prisoner is yourself.

Our greatest adversaries...the ones we must fight most often is within ourselves.

You love beautifully
But you hate even more sincerely
And I gladly accept your hatred
For it's better than indifference
And truth be told...
...Even your hatred has a certain charm and beauty to it
It's not downright ugly
There's shades of the dark cloudy sky to it
A tinge of the celestial darkness
A certain beautiful mystery like the galaxy
And even a wee a bit of the harsh sun on a merciless summer afternoon

Nothing substantial in life comes easy
You gotta struggle....you gotta strive
And then with patience you shall survive

If you don't make a change for the better today and think that you will do it tomorrow...then you're basically just deceiving yourself.

Whatever be the season
Whatever be the month
Whatever be the day
When at Roland Garros... Rafa simply makes hay
He is and will remain the best on clay
Year after year..time has the same story to tell
The clay of Paris is still under Rafa's spell
This court for him is not just a tennis court.. It's his home.. His place of meditation
From here he draws strength and inspiration
This year it was number thirteen
Looking forward to number fourteen

Once you let go of your fear...there's virtually nothing that you can't do.

Today as I was talking a walk in the park I experienced both rain and sunshine together. It was like experiencing two opposite and yet beautiful sights simultaneously. I felt blessed. Nature truly is unique...it gives you two beautiful feelings at the same time.

In order to gain knowledge you must want it first...when you want knowledge like you want air under water then you will get it.

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about the past that we forget to live. Take lessons from the past but don't live in it.

It's never the end....
One ending leads to another beginning

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

Sharing my life with you has been like a dream
And i never want this dream to end!

Sometimes people don't need advice
They just need an eager and patient ear

I can feel the smell of fresh earth in the air
Cool breeze
Swaying trees
An assortment of dark clouds in the sky
Lightning and thunder
There's a storm coming
And then there's the storm of feelings brewing inside my head as I sip my cup of tea
The first drop of rain kisses the earth
It starts with a little pitter patter
And then there's just an absolute downpour of emotions
It's like the sky is crying it's heart out
And the sound is like some symphony
And every now and then it reaches a crescendo and then calms down again
The birds are flying hither tither
Some take shelter in my window ledge and sill
Some cars and motorcycles stop in their tracks
People on the road taking their umbrellas out
Those without one scampering for cover
Some drenching their hearts out in the rain
As it starts to flood a bit some kids make paperboats and set them out on the rainwater sea..
As I watched these scenes from my window I couldn't help but think of my childhood days
Days when I used to feel more and think less
But then I guess with age you grow wiser or maybe dumber or a bit timid..i don't know..
As a kid the rains for me was all about having a good time
Now it's all about watching and reminiscing the childhood days

You say that you love me
But I've seen your eyes
And they tell a completely different story
They don't seem to like me..not one bit

Just like trying...quitting too can become a habit..so never inculcate the habit of quitting within yourself...No matter how trying or challenging the circumstance or the situation make a promise to yourself that you will try till the very end.
