IF I COULD REWIND TIME

If I could rewind time
I would relive those days
When I was not one among the crowd
Racing against time in the streets

When the heart knew no fear
And happiness meant sleeping in the arms of someone dear
When wishes were fulfilled by falling stars
Fighting for the TV remote was the biggest war

When success meant getting permission to play for hours
And failure was just a random word
When chocolates and not accolades meant rewards
And I was not chained up
But free to fly like a bird

When playgrounds were there to play
And not to stop and stare
It was just joy all around
Sorrow was a million miles away

If I could rewind time
I would relive those days
When I was never alone
Because the moon followed me everywhere

CORPORATE LIFE

Today when i woke up
To the morning sun
My room was full of light
No soothing sweet music
Just the harsh sound of alarm

Though I wanted to sleep more
I could not have stayed in bed
I stood by my window
Took a look outside
The streets were full of rush
Soon I would be by their side

No time to listen to my favorite band
Or dance to my favorite song
Its been too long I last saw them
My childhood friends; I used to play along
Is this what I wanted
When I was a teenager

Just in my twenties
running hard on my knees
Looking for a stable ground
Where I could stand on my feet


That's when I realized
Those days are gone
When little things meant much
And everything was fun
In my mind I stand with a simple doubt
Is this what I wanted
I always had dreamed off

WILL YOU???

Will your world turn gray

When  I am not there

Will you walk to my grave

When I am dead

Will you cry alone in your bed

And will your eyes turn red

Will your heart turn cold

When I will be no longer there to hold

Will you miss me by your side

Will you search me in the stars at night

Will you think of me and smile

Will you remember me for a while

Will you still hold on

When I am gone

I may not sound naive

But I am worried for thee

For death doesn’t know

How hard it is to be brave

I AM AN AUTHOR

Days pass by my window

And every night the moon does glow

I sit here all alone and numb

Holding a glass of wine

Or sometimes a bottle of rum

They think I am an idiot

But there is something they don't know

I am a magician, an illusionist

And clever as a crow

My pen is my wand

I create magic with my words

Play with their minds

Control their thoughts

I take them higher than Icarus

Deeper than a diver

Yes I am an author

I am a writer

THAT'S ALL A POET NEEDS-an ethree

Pen

Paper

Memories

Rainy evening

Cold wind blowing past

Start scribbling random thoughts

Unfulfilled wishes desires

Hope to inspire someone someday

That's all a poet needs for writing

WHO WAS I??

Sometimes a thought tickles my mind
And to find peace
I sit alone
And give myself sometime

What would have I been in my last life
Was I a scribbler
Or a hard worker in the mines
A courageous fighter
Or among the world's top minds

A lover of rock music
Or a monk in temples and shrines
A Cassanova or a boy too shy
The thoughts keep flowing
Still I wonder who was I?

A Jew in times of Hitler
Who went under the knife
Or a leader like Gandhi
Who inspired many lives

These are just intuitions
No matter how much I think
The question still remains unanswered
Who was I in my past life?

WHAT ABOUT NOW

Last night we fought
You ran away
The room was dark
You were not there
And the silent wind had something to say

But what about now
What about today
What about all those moments we shared

Its been just a day
I'm feeling the pain
Everything seems lost
Nothing to gain

Moments of joy, happiness of your face
I want to feel them again
Scars and burns
Like I am living in hell
And I am pleading guilty

So what about now
What about today
What about everything we did

POWER OF NATURE

Have you ever walked down alongside a river
And soaked your feet in it
Wished life to be a little less complicated
And things always turn out the way you want them to be
That's what nature can do
It makes you listen to the inner voice of you

Have you ever climbed a mountain
Or made your way through heavy rain
Wondering life has so much similarity
You need to cross hurdles to reach your aim
And gave a huge boost to your self belief
That's what nature can do
It puts strength in you

Have you ever spread your arms to feel the air
For a moment forgot all your fears
Opened your eyes to the setting sun
Falling prey to its beauty
And took a sigh of relief
That's what nature can do
It makes you fall in love with you

SECRETS!!

I want to tell you all my secrets
But I have none
There is nothing that you don't know
My life is a book wide open

Let the matter be
Leave it alone
At times there are misunderstandings
We both have our own confusion
But now everything is sorted said and sone..

I don't know where this will go
But I"ll always need you as a friend for sure
And no matter what happens
I can't stay mad at you
Despite everyone filling the empty spaces
There is always a void in my world without you..

HOPE SHE UNDERSTANDS!!

I will never forget those words
I heard today from her mouth
I am way up north
She is so down south
There is distance and a lot of miles to stitch
But time's an even bigger bitch

She thinks that something has gone wrong
I am not interested anymore, I want to move on
I said to her, she makes me feel strong
She is the only one who makes my heart warm
And when I meet her, I'll hold her in my arms
Then I'll love her just like a love song..

Sitting here all alone, I write you a song
Baby you're so far away yet so near
I'll sing it to you, when I meet you dear
The winds make me feel you, here by the lake shore
You are the one I love and I want more....

LIFE: a drama

Your life is a drama
You must always be proud of
When you look back at it
As you are the one who writes its script

Through its span
You play numerous games
Some you enjoy
Some you don't
You forget the defeats
And cherish the one's you have won

You pass through many affairs
From cradles to rocking chairs
And as inevitable as it is
Someday it has to end
Your character has to exit
And you cant pretend...

DYING LOVE

When there was no one left around me
Darling you showed the way
You were standing with me
When even my shadow betrayed

I was lost and lonely
And then you happened to me
You were still holding
When everyone was walking away

But those days were long back
Now you are drifting away
Love is long gone
Darling don't you pretend
Oh!! don't you pretend

Love is a deadly poison
And it kills you slow
Nothing lasts forever
I should have known

What even hurts me more
That its ending this way
But if everyone gets heaven
What will happen to hell..!!

APOLOGY

Once again I write to you
This one is for how I have been to you
I don't know if I can apologize to you
But now this is all I can say to you

All those silly things I did
One moment I was good
The other I was mad
One night I said I love you
The next morning I treated you bad

My mind is an angry storm
But my heart is cold when you are gone
I can see my mistakes everywhere
But please don't leave me
You are special and rare...

तेरी आँखें

इन्हें देखता हूँ 
तो ठेहेर सा जाता हूँ मैं 
सोचता हूँ इनमें छिपे जज़्बात लिखूं 
या खूबसूरत शाम के बाद छाई 
कोई काली घनेरी रात लिखूं 

पलकें उठा कर जब देखती हो 
मानो ऐसा लगता है 
कुछ केहना चाहती हो तुम्हारी नज़र 
मगर फिर गुमसुम सी रह जाती हो 
सोचता हूँ इनहे हसीन अंदाज़ लिखूं 
या असीम गहराई में छिपे 
प्रशांत-ए-राज़ लिखूं 

इनमे झाँको तो एक आग दिखाई देती है 
यूँ लगता है के मानो खुद को जल रहीं हों 
सोचता हूँ इन्हें एक मशाल लिखूं 
पर फिर इनकी 'माया' में खो जाता हूँ 
तुम्ही मुझे बता दो के मैं क्या लिखू

LETTER TO MY LOVE

Can I say I love you..
Can I ask whether you love me too??
I want to spend my life with you
Do you feel the same too??
And when there is no breathe left in me
I would love to lie beside you..

I have a heart
And now its with you
And the reason I am not dead
Is because yours is with me...
I never force you to love me
Free to fly away you are
Like that bird to me...

That day I will
Bury my feelings underneath the snow...
But wherever you go
Whatever you do
Just remember I'll be there for you...
Coz somewhere deep down
I'll be always loving you...

THE UNDER RATED SUPERSTAR!!

He has been one of my favorite sportsperson. He is the one among the most consistent athletes for India at the international level for the past decade. He is THE UNDER RATED SUPERSTAR of India- SUSHIL KUMAR.

In a country obsessed with cricket, hardly athletes and players from other sports get the recognition, fame and respect which they deserve. It is so biased on part of we Indians, we treat cricketers as GOD!! And no matter how many laurels a sportsperson brings to the nation, how many medals and trophies he wins for the country, he will never get that love from the people that cricketers get.

One such example is Sushil Kumar. A humble person and a champion wrestler. A gold medal in the 66 kg freestyle competition at the FILA 2010 world wrestling championship, a gold medal at the Commonwealth games 2014 in men's 74 kg freestyle competition and a gold medal at the Asian championships in 2010.

He also won the bronze medal in the 66 kg freestyle competition at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and went on to win the silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012. This made him the first Indian to win back to back individual Olympic medals.

He did not participate in the Incheon Asian games, but he will return with yet another good performance and he is still the nation's biggest hope for a gold medal at the Rio Olympics to be held in 2016.

A RAINY EVENING AND YOU

I watch the clouds covering the sky
I watch it getting dark
Someone above is crying in pain
Drops falling on the ground
It has started to rain

I am holding onto love
Even though I see people falling apart
I am still holding onto my heart
With you being so far
Someone above realized my pain
It has started to rain

Small droplets falling from the blue
Each one of them reminding me of you
Sitting here I am missing you
And somewhere I know you are feeling the same
Waiting for the time when I get to see you again
It has started to rain..

Google,Mercedes,Audi gets permit for self drive cars in California

Well it would be so good to sit back in the car while it will drive on its own. We saw Will Smith driving one such beauty in iRobot. It can turn reality soon!!

California has issued its first 29 permits this week to three companies to test self-driving cars on public roads. Google Inc got permits for testing 25 adapted Toyota Motor Corp Lexus SUVs, and two permits each went to Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen AG's Audi. Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Audi are all luxury brand vehicles. Audi was the first to apply for the permits, followed by Daimler and then Google. All the permits were issued on Tuesday, the first day they were required by California, which has the largest population of any US state. A few other automakers and first-tier automotive suppliers are in the process of filing for the permits. Autonomous car testing has been under way in California for several years without the permits, but the state's legislature has made permits a requirement for them to run on public roads. Among the California requirements to get a permit is the ability of test drivers to be able to take command of an autonomous vehicle at any time. Mercedes-Benz engineers will "teach" the autonomous cars how to operate safely on US roads using different methods than are used in the testing and development of the cars in Germany, according to officials at Daimler and Mercedes-Benz. Daimler and Volkswagen are both based in Germany, and Goggle is based in Silicon Valley in California. Audi said it was the first automaker to obtain a license for an autonomous car in Nevada, in 2012.

ALAS!! WE MEET: THE MEETING

I know it's been a long time since we met,
Still your memories are impossible to forget,
And when I finally saw your face today,
My heart kept beating all night and day...

No matter if we are no longer together,
My heart still wants you
It knows nothing else to do
Apart from loving you..

It still waits for the day to arrive,
Keeping the hopes alive,
No matter the distance
No matter the bitterness between us
It still thinks someday you'll be by my side..

ALAS!! WE MEET: THE CHAT

This is a short poem about a chat with someone after a long time.

Hey it's me
I'm gonna be..
Up in your way
And will always be...
No matter where you go
You will find me

And do u think,
We could share a drink,
And catch up on the time that's past?
Funny how it flies by so fast
Can it be that long since I saw you last?
It can't be that long since I saw you last...

So, what's new?
How are you?
Got a minute to tell me
A thing or two?
A little chit chat on a sip of wine
Alongside a wonderful view...

So it's a date
And I would try not to be late
Yeah it's been long
Or may be its not that long
My happiness, you will see it
When we finally meet..

SLEEP AND DREAMS

I pen down these words, with a sense of dejavu in an effort to relate our activities before sleep to the dreams we eventually end up seeing that night.

When you wake up in the morning, having seen a dream last night may it be awesome or awkward; have you ever thought what you were doing or thinking before sleeping that night.

What were your dominant thoughts?? Were you thinking about your problems, your day, your future plans? well, its quite possible that you had a dream related to your thoughts. Our subconciuos mind likes to weave our problems into dreams as a way to help us work them out. A dream is nothing but a story scripted by our own mind; a screenplay of events in sequence.

Studies suggest that all the activities of the brain are stored in a structure called hippocampus and while we are in our initial hours of sleep i.e. slow wave sleep, this hippocamus is busy showing us movies on our frontal cortex. thus we probably had our best sleep and dreams as kids.

So before you go to sleep think about the life you always dream off and thats what it takes to wake up smiling to a beautiful sunshine.
