Yaad aaye tum..

Subah hui par theher gai
Aankhein toh khuli par sapna band
Dekhti hoon char diwarein par chehra tumhara
Yaad aaye tum

Dhoop ka aana
Tumhari koi baat chupke se keh jaana
Aankhein band, sama suhana
Yaad aaye tum

Shaam ki wo pehli angdai
Baarish ki leher samaye
Aai wo yaad lekar
Yaad aaye tum

Ab toh sham ne badle rang
Raat hai chali aai
Dekha jo aayene mein
Nazar aaye tum
Mud kar dekha toh
Yaad aaye tum

Ab toh waqt bhi
Ek hi raag hai sulgata
Tumhari tasweer
Aankho ke kareeb le aata
Samjhaoon kaise is nasamajh dil ko
Kaid ho tum soch mein

Kaise kahoon ke… yaad aaye tum

Jhilmil


Gen Next keh ke zamana badal diya
Gullak toda, bank jaana chod diya

Siyahi ka ab koi kaam nahi
Kyuki e-mail ka koi daam nahi

Dil se dil ki baaton ko lag jaate hain arse kehne mein
Dil tute hain palak jhapakte

Kab sikha maine chehre ka rang chupana
Kabhi kaha haan, zyadatar na se hi kaam chala liya

Kaun hoon main?
Kyu hoon main?
Jawaab ka intezaar kyu karoon main?

Nahi hoon main tumhari tarha
Na hi mujhe angrezi sudharne ki parwah

Main hoon alag sab hi ka tarha
Jeene de, Jeene de

Jeet lu duniya
Kadmon mein kya burai hai
Pair choo gaya to, rab ka naam lene mein kon si badhai hai?

Samjhte hain hum sab
Samjhna nahi chahte
Jigar ki aag toh thanda kar jaate

Kiska hai intezaar?
Kab hoga time right?

Aaj hai din, ab hai waqt
Pehno joote, lelo Saada Haq!

Is baat ko agar samjho
Muskurana zaroor
Rokna mat kinaron pe

Door le jaana zaroor..

2 days makes 48 hours makes 2880 minutes makes 172800 seconds make it horrible to miss you


Boy O’Boy
Will you be mine?
My sunlight
Causing the sunshine

Boy O’Boy
Will you be just mine?
To cuddle in the cold
To laugh with & the whole deal

Boy O’Boy why are you so kind
Everything I say… now rhymes

I tiptoe around you
Like everything that surrounds you
Am yours personal poet
Look look I didn’t even know it





You make me want Monday back
Are you this powerful?
Or a delirium to dodge…

Boy O’Boy
Up & down
My world is spinning around
Will you come & stop it
Or take another seat?

The look when you leave
The smile that pierces deep
Into my heart
And my mind
It plays back to back rewind
My weariness unwind

Boy O’Boy
What are you
Dawn or end of the night?
Everytime I see you

I shine a lil’ bright

The better listener: Introvert



For a better part of my life I have been inquisitive about and by people who aren’t all loud & clear like me.. an extrovert. People who are not easily overwhelmed by emotions that they feel the need to get it out, in tears, words or affection. These are the people with dignity & polish who are well guarded, people who define cool.

Subsequently I conversed with various introverts & ex introverts, extroverts about introverts, my sister who was a major introvert back in the days, to get to the depth.

The shy Introvert comes clean (ex introvert)
Looking for radical transparency overnight does not occur in an intro’s case. He holds himself back much in his virtual life online which in comparison to real him is nowhere close. Its not that intros are any less opinionated, infact they can surprise you but for some reason in the back of their minds they are forced to think “what if people don’t like what I have to articulate?”, “what if that leads me to the subject of mockery?” So its about time you knock your fears out if any, don’t be blindsided by it. Try living such a life & it’ll knock the wind outta you. He’s very happy with his new found zest, tells me Ishaan.

Quiet Girl in a Chaotic world
Resorting to write seemed like a good way out when she couldn’t share her state of mind with everybody else..so she began to operate on a personal online diary. Being a centre of attention is not a intro’s scene. The world seems to be geared towards extroverts but there’s a towering need for people to realise intro’s viewpoint & reaction to stimulation. Intros are not anti-social but they prefer small group bonding. We are just another set of people who smile more than talk.. tells Nikita

Intros in business..hot mess?
Sure they are intellectual folks but expressing them at certain events can be a pickle at times.
They are considered to be uncomfortable carrying on conversation with fresh people, but there can be numerous other ways to fill in that gap that will balance your personality & style. In most cases people are taught to open up in the corporate world, interact, widen their network but how is an introvert to fulfil all these requirements? Adjustment & attitude fixation come hand in hand with a job offer..much to their ennui, tells me Asheesh

What I derived when an extro laid down her opinions about an intro
Its absurdity if an introvert rides the high-horse approach.
One does not get to excuse oneself from the love table if you are still partaking its joy.
You give as you receive. Self absorbed people are unwelcomed in that case.
Everybody cringes & cowers in fear, an introvert does not have to hide from it, and eventually everyone makes it out. Because if you choose the other end, you ought to have a major fall since the person will have so much baggage on his shoulders that he will suffer a major fall, tells me Becca

Worst case scenario.. Introverts in denial
Introverts who due to their lifestyles begin to believe that they are extros. It’s a common myth for several individuals. If you stand in this region.. ask yourself.. “Do I like being introduced by others?” If it’s a positive, you know you redefine cool 8) There’s no need to feel extra shy or embarrassed..Value it : ) I didn’t know I was a winker until my classmate told me not to hit on him since he was not gay :P jokes Arjun

Introversion..the lady killer!
Interaction itself is a task at times subjective to people but when it comes to females its multiplied. Its hard to be the Ladies man that one ideally wants to be. We feel completely alive in quiet environments. Usually I use trolling as a defence mechanism, make myself laugh.. purposely get rejected. Go on the Lost-mode(I don’t give a rat’s arse mode) Although some girls find it attractive because it shows we don’t rely on anyone but ourselves..so that’s a plus..tells Raj

The half Introvert.. Ambivert
Pondering between both the qualities of intro & extro, he’s the subjective guy who believes there’s nothing unusual about it. Simple, comical, standing tall between margins he doesn’t prize social & outgoing above all, guy fond of simple pleasures is unpredictable. Rendering an approach that’s direct he’s straightforward.
Swimming in his own space he never had to face competition or struggle(maybe because of his goodish charms) Unbiased, equipped & primed, he fails to settle for being a shadow tells Aditya

          Introvert’s liveliness tends to enlarge through reflection & diminish during interaction.
Introverts use their introspection before acting, so it gives them a chance to think before they speak. Unlike us extros who are quick to ramble on something were are not even aware of, & trust me it comes naturally :P
Intros are potential energetic people in the making of kinetic. They are a gentle, peaceful presence on the globe filled with overwhelming stimuli.
Introversion is not a form of fright or fear. But for some reason the two are sometimes referred as synonyms.
Are they living under the proverbial rock? Intros are not oblivious but just serene.. they are like baby gazelle, they come around their own time :D I sometimes enjoy the mystery until it starts to turn into misery :P Take your time to unfold but also be aware of the extros nature of being restless. Thus don’t be me, myself & I the whole while, get to know us, we aren’t all that scary :D
Introverted personality types are different & its upto you guys to educate the world and help them understand who you are. Although people like me come handy ;D Thank Procrastination!

To end this wonderful realization which was a curiosity for many years, I will just say..
Embrace who you are, learn what makes you tick & love your verve.
Knock off your bloody pedestals.. jump right in with full force into the blissful.. painful.. random..erratic.. escapade called life..!

something for me, maybe you too..

I had no intentions of blogging today – like any good procrastinator, I planned to put it off until tomorrow – but today evening, I watched something so compelling, so perspective-altering that I felt the need to write to you..
Like everyone else I've done my fair share of bad things. I have spoken badly to my parents, I have lied, I have stolen, I have cheated on test, and I have no need to hide any of it—any of my humanity—because the same feelings that have sometimes led me to do bad, have led me to do good, too. And the rest is pointless because you can’t view things through a black and white lens when we live in a Technicolor world..
The supreme act of courage is that of forgiving ourselves.
That which I was not but could have been.
That which I would have done but did not do.
Can I find the fortitude to remember in truth,
to understand, to submit, to forgive
and to be free to move on in time?
But less "I don't care" and more "I care enough to move on"

The Third Vowel

I am spontaneous
am swift.
Quiet the charmer,
Will knock you off your feet.
When you look at me with those jaded eyes
The world moves anticlockwise
Void suffice.
I'm spiritual, not religious.
I’m illogical,
Irrational, irrelevant to some,
& unrequited to some.
I’m patient and strong.
I can make you weak.
When I get a hold to you,
I won’t let go.
I’m in the air,
Between your thoughts.
I’m comforting and euphoric
My reason for being
Metaphoric.
Just when you think I’m out of your reach
I will appear.
Don’t try to find me
I will come in my own time
Show up and show out in my own way.
I will enrapture you.
I will beguile you.
To you
I perplex
With my cerebral cortex
Call it vortex.
I’m misunderstood most times.
Unrecognized by many.
If you’ve had me, you’d know me.
I will permeate your entire being.
Invade your innermost thoughts,
Heal you effortlessly.
Don’t abuse me.
Don’t misuse me.
Don’t try to bind me.
I’m abundant,
Beyond any measure.
Receive me, share me, spread me, bear me
Just don’t fall in love with me..
