The desert hadn't witnessed rain for ages
The camels,the bedouins,every grain of sand
...they no longer hoped for any miracle
However there was something different about today
As i was making my way across the vast dunes of sand
I could feel a certain amount of excitement in the air
I could see the skies were bringing their 'A' game on
Dark and black...
...that's the look they had
It seemed as if after ages the skies had finally woken up
And decided that today wasn't going to be just another day in the desert
Today was going to be different
Today was going to be special
Then i saw the lightning
This was followed by shrieks of thunder
And finally the skies poured their heart out
And as the first drop kissed the desert
I could feel every single grain of sand dancing with joy
The desert hadn't tasted such happiness for many years
Today i had become a part of something special
Prior to this experience i had never believed in miracles
Today as i experienced the most magnificent miracle ever
I couldn't help but think to myself-
'Sometimes miracles do occur.'

Trust,commitment and communication are the three pillars of a relationship.

Trust is like paper..once crumpled it can never be perfect again.So never break it.It's very hard for a relationship to sustain itself once trust issues start creeping in.
Commitment is crucial.It is important that you are committed to the relationship and from time to time keep showing this to your partner.
Communication is often undervalued.It is of paramount importance and lack of it is often one of the major reasons for relationships falling out.Whenever you have an issue or there is something that is bothering you..talk it out with your partner..don't keep it concealed within you..he should know what you feel about him and the relationship.

While you have no control over the quantity of your life
The quality of your life is in your hands

Going through life is like walking on a tightrope....there's always gonna be the occasional jerks and uncomfortable moments...moments when you feel like you're just about to fall and yet the challenge is to keep oneself focused and balanced in spite of all that turmoil that goes on around you....and in order to do this it's important that you have self-belief and the stomach for a fight....for without these two traits it's virtually impossible to reach the end.

Whenever I feel like crying my heart out
Whenever I feel like screaming my lungs out
Whenever I feel like I'm burnt by the sun of life
Whenever I feel engulfed by flames of sadness
Whenever I feel depressed and low...
...the room in the corner of my home.. That's where I go...
That room is my refuge during my sad moments
The room has dark coloured walls
The room possesses a couple of dim lights
The room doesn't have anything much save for an old bookshelf which contains memories of my childhood
On the walls of the room are some hanging pictures of my childhood...
Those pictures look at me with affection..
...sometimes with a bit of concern
...perhaps they feel sympathetic towards my lonely heart
The room comforts me and takes me its in arms when I feel like I can't take the agonies of life no more..
The room with its eerie quiteness has a soothing effect on me
The room has a solid wooden door which is sometimes hard to pull open
But once it let's you in...it just takes you over with it's warmth and kindness
Whenever I feel like resting my head on a shoulder
Whenever I want to think clearly
That room always helps me out
The room in the corner of my home means so much to me....

No matter how many times the waves crash against the shore
They're never quite satisfied..
...they want more
They never take a break
Always on the move
Both with the sun and the moon
They really do groove
Sometimes i imagine myself to be that wave
For ages now I have been crashing against the rocks and the sand
I don't know what exactly i'm looking for
I just keep flowing
I just keep moving
Perhaps i'm trying to find a purpose for my life
A meaning
A sense of direction
But after many a to and fro journeys from the sea to the shore
I've realized that it's a futile exercise
So now i've adopted the stance of a lake
I just lay still and let life take its own course
I don't have no big goals no more
I just have one simple goal...
...i want to be happy
...i want to be free
...free from all expectations
...free from all connections
...free from my ego
...free from my anger
...i want to be closer to my inner-self
...Frankly i'm exhausted
...my soul is looking for some elusive moments of rest
...i'm dying for a healing touch
...i just want to close my eyes and go into a deep sleep
...could someone just stroke my hair and sing me a lullaby please?
...of late i'm really missing my infant years
...those were the best times man
...i would just rest my head on my mother's lap and not care about nothing else

You start with something small
Something pure
Something promising
You have zero expectations
You're not sure how far you'll go
All you have is a flame of hope in your heart
And a burning desire to succeed
You give it your all
You leave no stone unturned
You keep working every single day
You endure every hardship with a strong heart
And then when you finally get your first taste of success
It just feels so incredible
Gradually this thing that you started grows into something big
Something beautiful
Something that exceeds all your expectations
At that moment life just feels so surreal
You ask yourself-
'Is this for real?'
'Is this actually happening to me?'
It's hard to put in words what you feel at that point of time
A feeling of elation
A feeling of pride
A feeling of satisfaction
A sense of achievement
Your dreams have finally turned into reality!!!
It took a while
But it was worth the wait wasn't it?...
...i guess all good things take time

Look at me
Take me in
Engulf me in your fury
Consume with your passion
Burn me with your desire
Absorb every inch of me
Push me to the point of desperation
Blow my mind with an indescribable ecstasy
And finally take me to your lips...
...and smoke me like your favourite cigarette

Our eyes met
Souls collided
The Brain stopped working
Sparks flew
Barren hearts were drenched with rain
Breathing became heavier
Lips were sealed with an intoxicating kiss
In that one moment...you fell for me
And i fell for you..
And that was that...
We were stuck together
No escaping now

Don't you sometimes wish that you could momentarily pause your life and press the rewind button and go and visit the favourite memories of your life?
Yeah..sure..all the time.
Really??...so which ones are your favourite memories?
Oh...that's easy...The time when i wan't born.

You speak a language which i don't fully understand
And i speak one which you don't get completely either
But that has never been a problem in our relationship
'Coz our hearts have always communicated perfectly

We don't meet that often
We both live in different countries
We mostly meet via the internet and telephonic conversations
But that has never been a problem in our relationship
'Coz our hearts keep meeting every second

Distance doesn't matter
'Coz our love is forever
With every passing day
It just keeps getting stronger
Even though i'm not with you all the time
I have lived every moment with you
I can feel your illuminating presence all around me
The flowers...they remind me of you
I see you in the moon
The constellations
In the smile of a kid
In the open sky
And every night in my dreams


If two people truly love each other...then no barrier can come in between.

You're not a want
You're my need
My daily cup of morning coffee
My food for thought
My greatest source of oxygen
My soul's elixir
My heart's blood
My biggest support
The one who lifts my spirits when i'm down
The one who cheers me up when i'm sad
The one who makes every pain go away
The one who loves me for who i am
The one who accepts me with an open heart
The one who completes me in ways i could've never imagined
Life without you holds no meaning to me
I'm blessed to you have someone like you in my life
I don't say this often enough
But you truly are the best thing that has ever happened to me
I was down in the dumps when i met you
And how you helped me ressurect my life
I love you
I admire you
I respect you
....my dearest,lovely,sweet wife
Twenty years and counting...
...till death do us part

You're the cause of my pain
And yet you're my only pain reliever
You give me hope
And the very next moment you shatter me
You love me
And yet you hate me
You hurt me
And then you console me
You dominate my thoughts and dreams
And yet I'm never there in your thoughts
I feel so strongly for you
I cry for your love and yet I don't seem to get it
And then you cry when I'm not there
I sometimes can't quite understand this contrast
Are we just meant to be this constant conflict of emotions???
Is togetherness never going to be a part of our script???
Will our love ultimately fade away into oblivion???

'So my heart says one thing and my mind another.How do i choose?With whom do you think i should go with?'he asked.
'Ah...the problem of being a human!
Personally i would've loved it if i were a robot!'he said.
'Dude...i'm in a serious dilemma.Please help me.'he said
'Ok...here's what you do.You can either go with the risky approach i.e your heart or the sensible approach i.e the mind....but remember..sometimes the more the
risk, the greater the reward.Now the choice is yours...you wanna play safe or you wanna take a chance?'he said.

When you have an issue with someone or vice-versa, try talking to that person and aim to sort it out...don't wait for the other person to come to you..having an ego the size of an ostrich's egg is not going to help matters...you have to abandon your ego...if even after talking to the person things don't work out then so be it...but at least make the effort.

The night has just begun
Let's go out and have some fun
Let's drive to the open fields
Let's relax and drop our shields
Let's forget about the world
And let our livers be curled..
...with enjoyment
Tonight let's not worry about a thing
Winter's almost gone..it's time for spring
It's past midnight
The time just feels right
Let the moon and the stars lead the way
Tonight with you i wanna sway
Tonight...I wanna fly
Follow the open sky
And reach where the horizon meets the earth
Tonight i wanna be filled with mirth
Every night the sky has a story to tell
The earth has a different smell
In the magic of the moonlight let us dwell
Let us dive into the cold river
And let our bodies quiver
Tonight everything seems to be in harmony
Under the sheet of stars let us explore anatomy
Nights like these are rare
Let us dispel our fears and dare..
...the dark

When your parents abandon you...it hurts
When your lover abandons you...it hurtss
But when your friend abandons you..it hurtsss the most

There is a slim chance but still a chance that you'll recover from the first two shocks...the recovery from the third one though is extremely challenging.[virtually impossible in some cases.]

There are days on which i live
These are days on which happiness rules my world
These days are very few in number
These days are like an oasis in a desert
These days act as a balm for my aching soul
I cherish and treasure these days like anything
I don't want these days to end
I want them to stretch for eternity
But they never do
Once they leave...
....my soul just goes into a state of coma
...the harsh reality of life just cuts through my heart like a knife
...and all i'm left with are the distant memories
...and a hope in my heart that i will see these days again


Then there are those days on which i survive
Days which i wish would end as quickly as possible
Days which i dread
Days on which i wish i was dead
Days on which doom and gloom rule my world
These are those dark days on which i can't find no source of light,no matter how much i try
Days like these torment the hell out of me
They push me to the point of insanity
But i somehow weather the storm
Somehow i push myself
Somehow i fight it out
It hurts like hell
I cry like anything
But somehow i'm able to survive
Somehow i'm able to make it through to the next day....
.....with the hope that a new sun of mercy will shine upon me and things will be better

You say if i get involved with you
I'll be ruined
Well...let me tell you something
I'm ruined from before
You can't ruin me any further
And honestly we're both doomed anyways..
...victims of the apocalypse named 'love'
Broken and damaged beyond repair
We both have nothing to lose
So let's walk on the path of destruction together
I've lived in isolation for a long time now
I'd rather have some company during my final moment of destruction

Be it personal or professional...the room for improvement in these two aspects is never full...you can always work upon something.

You folks don't like me
In fact some fear me
Some absolutely hate me
But you all know...
...at some point of your lives you are going to have to pay me a visit
You can't escape my clutches
I am not always bad news
For i also give you the sweetest news
It is here where you come into this world
As long as the light outside of the o.t is on
I give you those anxious moments
But it's just my nature
You constantly pace to and fro
You just can't sit still
Tension is written all over your face
And then as the light outside the o.t is off
And the doctor comes out
You look at him with questions in your head
And a sense of hope in your eyes
I feel most sad when i see children coming to me
To see them suffer
To see them go through pain
Just breaks me down
I have this understanding with death
Whenever i feel that someone is suffering too much
And there is not much that can be done
I request death to relieve that person of his or her pain
Sometimes death accepts my request

I am a hospital
I am a place like no other place
I see the joy on people's faces
I see people praying
I see the tears of people
I hear their cries
I see them grieving

I see you consoling the patient
I see you encouraging the patient
I see you telling him that it's all gonna be okay
You bring flowers and fruits for him
I see you holding your newborn in your hand
Wrapped in cloth..
...he or she is your bundle of joy

I am a hospital
A place hardly anyone likes
But a place virtually no one can avoid

'You can stand tall without standing on someone,you can be a victor without having victims.'

-Harriett Woods

A certain thing is thought of to be as impossible as long as it is not done or achieved...then one person comes along and shows the way...and the rest follow...the human resolve and effort is truly amazing.This burning desire to face perils,undertake challenges,attempt the impossible..this constant burning zeal to explore and question..this is what defines a human...hatred,violence,intolerance,barbarism...these aren't traits worthy of a human...the things that are happening in the world today baffle me and scare me.Citizens are being deprived of their right to freedom of speech and expression.Those who speak out against the atrocities of the government are termed as unpatriotic.People are dying for want of medicine.There is no safety for women.Those insensitive and disgraceful fairness cream ads on tv misleading people.The media and the police have become mere puppets in the hands of ministers.Corruption and fake promises..that is what define our politicians...love and compassion...where have these traits disappeared???...Honesty,integrity......these seem so rare now.People say that the world has advanced..new technology,big companies,big structures,new cars,..we are exploring the galaxy like never before...but the sad truth is that the rich are getting richer while the poor continue to struggle.I personally feel the world has degraded...we as humans have a touched a new low.This is not the world i wanted to grow up in...i would've been better off as a Martian!(if there was ever such a thing)

It's about 4 a.m.
The early morning sky is painted orange
Man...it's magical!!!
I just can't take my eyes off it
There is just that little ray of light
But the birds ain't waitin'
They have already started their morning flight
A nice cool breeze is blowing all across
Barely anyone on the streets
The beauty and energy all around makes feel so very positive
I stretch my arms and legs
Then close my eyes and take in all of the serene offerings of the early morning
And a little later i walk up to the mosque and offer my morning salah
It's one of the best mornings i've ever seen
I must admit...
...i'm not usually a morning person
But there are certain priceless joys attached to waking up early

The one thing in life where you want to invest rightly is in people...a bad investment here can really cost you..especially if it's long term.

The thing I love about the mirror is that it's so very trustworthy...it never lies..it never betrays...no matter what the time.. no matter what the place..it always shows you the true picture...i wish people were like this.....

It's important that you remain strong,patient and determined when you've failed...for the path to success is never easy
And it's equally important that you stay humble when you've succeeded for pride and arrogance always causes downfall
Failure shouldn't break you down
And neither should success turn you into a show-off

I was broken
But there was still hope for me
Life could've still glued me back
But you came and did the rest
I was now nothing more than a fragment of hopelessness
You really were one heartless b

It's a night filled with passion and desire
Our bodies entwined under a sea of blankets
I stare deeply into your eyes
I can see that they want me
So i start kissing you
I caress your *******
I play with your hair
I shower your tummy and hips with kisses
I write poetries on your back using my tongue
I then focus on the area between your legs
My tongue is now writing with vigorous intensity
Loud moans one after the other
You like it
You hold on to the sheets
And finally i can taste your sweet nectar

The first step towards achieving your dreams is believing in them...if you don't believe then you can never achieve.

The second step is to work hard for your dreams..success is never served on a platter.

The final and most important step is to never give up no matter what.You will face adversity and obstacles in every form but you have to be strong.

Beyond the world of reality
Lies the beautiful world of dreams
Every night i eagerly wait for it with a sense of hope and anticipation
I keenly look forward to it
Waiting to be swept off my feet
To travel to a new destination
To see new faces
To have a new experience
To feel inspired
To feel loved
To be mesmerised
To live some elusive moments of peace
To feel alive even if for a few moments
To smile even if for a few moments
To be somewhere where i can be myself
To be somewhere where no one questions me or my actions
To be somewhere where i have no fear
Somewhere where the world is so much more beautiful
So..dear mind...where are we going tonight?

You were the girl of my dreams...my beauty queen
But you deserted me...broke my heart into pieces...Ah!..what a tragic scene
Tears here...tears there
Sobbing and whining everywhere
The pretences
The defences
It all just makes me sick
What went wrong?...we were meant to click
How could you do this to me?
You were all i could see
I was too F** stupid...My mistake
You used me...had your cake
And then dismissed me off like a paint flake
And now as i sit like a confused fool
And think as to how you probably used like me a tool...
You never ever truly cared about me...did you??
Ah!!!.....what a shame..what a shame...
You remember the special moments we shared....
The times when life seemed fulfilling and complete...
The love-making under the sheet of stars
One day Earth,then Venus....then Mars
Those candlelight dinners
The weekend getaways
It was us two against the Big Bad world
Where did i lack??..what did i fail to do??
When two people can't make it work it's bad
But when two people love each other and still can't make it work...that's the big tragedy
I sometimes can't fully understand the concept of love...
Is it supposed to make you stronger or weaker??
Things or people who never mattered to you suddenly start doing so
It's the most wonderful, dangerous and weirdest emotion
An emotion that can make you do things you never though you were capable of doing
There is no proper definition...
...You just feel it....Just feel it

Tell me darling...have you ever thought as to why we've been together for so many years now?
What clicked between us?
Why i became us and vice-versa?
I have sometimes thought about it..
....And have come to the conclusion that there is no standard procedure of formula for love
It just happens
Two person click together and just wanna be together
Love doesn't require manifestation all the time
It merely demands commitment and honesty
And today as we celebrate our tenth anniversary of togetherness
And dance under the beautiful moonlit night
I can't help but be thankful to God for providing me with an angel like you
You came into my life at a very turbulent time
And helped me steady myself
You made me believe for the first time in my life that i actually had a future to look forward to
You've truly enriched and enhanced my life
You've filled the empty canvas of my life with the most beautiful colours
You breathed life into me
Your sweet innocent charm and childish like smile always made me feel positive
You've helped me forget my ugly past,revel in the beautiful present and have given me an optimistic future
Thank you my love for being there with me thru every thick and thin
....Thru every step of the way
With you by my side...i can face any battle life puts me thru
My love....i love you,i admire you...i respect you
I can't do enough to express my gratitude to you
I promise to be by your side till the end of time
Till death do us part............

One of the major things that life teaches us is the art of concealing pain behind the veil of a smile...all of us do it some time or the other, while some do it all the time.

There are 3 aspects of a sincere apology-
1)An admission of wrongdoing
2)A promise to never repeat the action
3)An earnest request for forgiveness

Every night i slip through the sands of time
And escape to the world of dreams
Only to be rudely pushed back into the harsh world of reality the next morning
And i just hate it

'I won't cry for you...my mascara is too expensive'-Adriana Lima

'So what's your greatest wish?'
'I don't really know...never thought about it.'
'There must be something.'
'Well....Sometimes i wish i was ****** into a blackhole of oblivion and transported to a world of complete isolation...I don't want no family or friends...It'd just be me,my dreams and my fears..interacting with each other,sharing stories and foolishly trying  to predict the future.'

They say i look aged
My freshness is gone...i look jaded
I'm lost in oblivion..i've faded
No one gives a **** about me
And i don't have no friends
I'm a loner and a loser
But that's not the way i see it
I think i'm the person i'm today 'coz of loneliness and failures
I can't explain to you in words the amazing things i've gained because of these two beauties
And anyways what they say don't bother me no more
'Coz  i just think they're jealous that i made it this far
I know who i am
I know what i am
Look i'm not denying that there's isn't any scope for improvement...
...That is an endless scope
But the important thing is that no matter what they say about you
You should be clear about yourself
You ought to love yourself
Sure at times you have to be critical of yourself as well
But sometimes go a little easy as well
Live a life the way you want to live it
Express yourself the way you want to
Don't restrict or contain your existence to other's opinion's of you
It's damaging like hell
Believe me i've been through that and still go through it
But i'm trying...extremely hard to create my own identity and be the best i can be...
....after all isn't that what life is all about...finding yourself, creating yourself, creating memories, making your dreams and reality meet, spreading love, joy and positivity to all around you and above all when your time's up...you know that you've used it well

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

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

A hardworking imagination,a dedicated heart,a burning desire,a bundle of emotions,a keen sense of observation coupled with a wealth of experience and throw in a dash of inspiration....and voila!!!...you have the near perfect recipe for writing.

Never take a decision just because you trust someone. Analyse the situation yourself and then arrive at a decision.

If we can't be together in reality
Promise me that you'll visit me in my dreams
For at least in my dreams i wish to have someone i can call my own
Someone who shares my sorrow
And helps me deal with my loneliness
Someone who gives me hope
Someone who consoles me
Life had promised so much but offered so little
I guess love has never really had a liking for me
Every single time i had the chance to be happy
Life took it away from me
I've now lost faith in everything...
....love,life..my entire existence
Sleep evades my eyes
The eyes which were once filled with dreams
Are now overflowing with tears
Some nights i look up at the night sky
And my entire life flashes right in front of me
And all i see is a vast space filled with nothingness
My life which was once a hustling and bustling city
Is now a graveyard of buried hopes and dreams
So i humbly beg you again
Please visit me in my dreams
For how else am i to make it through the torturous night?

A visionary's dream
A painter's desire
A writer's favourite topic
A visual delight
Epitome of perfection
A beautiful nightmare
The sweetest poison
Fantasy's child
An arousing thought
Ethereal beauty
Elegance personified
Celestial explosion
An intoxicating fragrance
That is what you are....
.....and so much more

A fearless and positive attitude is one of the strongest attributes you can have
It's amazing as to the things you can do if you possess these two qualities
If you think in your mind that you can do something
Then no matter how difficult it might be..chances are that you will be able do it
On the other hand if you accept defeat in your mind even before trying
Then you will never be able to do a particular thing

'There was no light bulb moment.Loving her made sense to me.From the first time we met,we just made sense.She has a sense of humour and a passionate attitude towards life..which is nice to try to keep up with.'

Age is truly just a number...if you have the desire,discipline and dedication towards achieving something, then you will get it...be it sooner or later.

Love is a language which the deaf can hear
And the dumb can speak
It is a language which can melt the coldest of hearts
And open every closed door of the soul
Unfortunately,presently the world is so obsessed with hatred
That it has forgotten to speak the language of love

Thwarted by fate
Still won't give up
Admonished by family
Still won't give up
Neglected by lover
Still won't give up
Criticised by the world
Still won't give up
Betrayed by friend
Still won't give up
Bruised and battered
Still won't give up
...giving up just not an option
