Mere Words
I searched among the card displays,
To see if I could find,
A little something that would say
Just what was on my mind.
However there was not a one,
That captured it just right,
For no one else can understand
Just what I'd like to write.
I even find it difficult
To try to write it down,
For how do I portray to you,
The love that I have known?
I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adore;
A person who is beautiful,
Right down into their soul.
Mere words cannot describe
The many qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that
You share with those who know.
Your kind and gentle temperament,
Your sweet angelic smile,
Your softly spoken sentiments,
That reach across the miles.
Your smile and laugh that sparkle with
The softness of your sighs,
The way your face lights up a room ...
That twinkle in your eye.
The loving gestures through the years,
That quickly come to mind,
For always you've a gentle word
To calm and soothe I find.
I struggle and I search to try
To find some words anew ...
And yet I cannot capture
All the things that make you you.
I shall therefore, be satisfied
That you must simply know,
Just how I feel about you,
For with words I cannot show.

As Days Flew By
As Days Flew By
The very first time I saw you,
Was special how we met.
You took me by complete surprise.
I knew my heart was set.
As days flew by, we talked again,
But you never seemed to care.
I tried my best to help you out,
By a favor here, or a favor there.
Although I made a fast approach,
Our friendship grew and grew.
I realized how deep I cared,
But the feeling I felt was new.
In time I became attached to you.
From a hug, I wouldn't let go.
I soon saw how close we were,
And the feeling was good to know.
For you, I wrote sweet letters and songs.
You were on my mind all day.
The thought of sleeping was nowhere near,
Unless I knew you were okay.
It hit me then, what I was in -
A unique and precious love.
For the person I said was only mine,
Was an angel sent from above.
The minutes without you turned into days,
And the seconds with you flew fast.
I could only wish to see you more,
And make each moment last.
The times I spent with you,
Were what made my heart complete.
I knew one thing for sure,
Without you, my future was obsolete.
And now, we love just the same,
As it doubles day by day.
I stare deep into your precious eyes,
Yet I'm still speechless to what I should say.
With you, I'm in a whole new world.
You bring out the best in me.
It's hard to picture you not there,
When you taught me who to be.
Yes, the road ahead gets hard,
When things may only seem rough.
But because you and I try so much,
We'll stay strong and get by tough.
Though problems may lie ahead someday,
And either of us could be right;
I promise to always be by your side,
And I promise my heart, so hold it tight.
And so, each night, beside my bed,
When there's only bright stars to see;
I pray that we may never give up,
And will always remain you and me.

Reminiscence
College Days
Remembering my classmates after a few years,
My eyes were filled with blissful tears;
Everyone now is busy a lot,
No One has escaped Destiny's plot.
Saw the girl, whom once I thought as my best friend,
Oops ! Today she is someone else's girlfriend !!
After months, remembered about her for a little while,
Heard she is happy, that really made me smile.
From project reviews to campus interviews,
Nicknames to bunking to last-bench games,
Cultural rehearsals to love proposals,
Short term crushes to classroom blushes.
Everything is still fresh in our mind.
Wish life could just rewind.
Lets laugh, play, carelessly rejoice
Once again become college guys.
Chatting and laughing, we all were in elation,
Till came along the painful moment of separation.
When it was finally the time to part,
We all returned with a heavy heart.
Today life is full of commitments
And too many worries.
But those cherished moments,
Will live forever in our memories !!

BLACK
BLACK
Black is the colour of despair
A world full of pain;
The infinite depths of darkness
Black are the clouds which rain.
Black is the victory of night over day
The victory of darkness on light;
It is the colour of drowning peace,
It is the colour of the enchanting night.
It is the world where light fails your eyes,
Darkness rules, pressed, a lightless veil;
It is the companion of blindness,
Sightless mortals, to this, hail.
It is the sole refuge of the visionless,
It is fathomless; a dark mystery,
Many are the ingenious things
Inexplicable is its history.
But black is not as simple as it seems;
Black is also arrogantly great;
It gives us shade from scorching heat,
It is eternity's fate.
Black is incomplete, infinite;
Black is the widespread space;
If black is but the torturous world,
From black do shower sweet drops full of grace.
Black, if the dispenser of purity,
Is also the bestower of sweetness
It is the sole antonym og light;
It represents shudderring madness.
Yet black are the hearts of some people
No bit of humanity left in them
Yet in the darkness is a light contained;
Shining forth brightly like a multicolored gem.
Black is a colour scornfully shunned
Mortals , as suc, are easily disgraced.
But it is the pure mind of someone
'Cuz of which even those black are raised.
Black represents the swirling depths,
It is a colour of the divine
We must delve into the darkness inside
And search for that pure light in thine.
The universe exists in utter blackness
Black is the colour of youth
Black adorns the world unlike
The young, old and the uncouth.

A 'Bumpy' Ride
A Bumpy Ride
We Mumbaikars [ssup Raj !] have to use 3 major modes of transport :
1. The lifesaver -Autorickshaw
2.The Endurance tester- Train
3.The Multi-Populated Transporter- Bus
The heading for no.3 can be applicable for trains too but [cummon folks] for now the terms stick. The lifesaver in other words the Auto is so named as u can always use the option which leads you straight to your destination [if the rick driver or you know where !!]
The train is named the endurance tester because it really needs lots of guts [and nasal control] for some1 to travel by train. First of all you are ushered into the compartment like the BMC packs together stray dogs in their vehicle. Secondly the sheer no of people sitting, standing, hanging will overwhelm you. It is assured that you effectively lose a third of yourself by continuous train travelling. Thirdly [and most disgustingly] not everybody in the compartment are aware about the term- 'Personal Hygiene' !!!
In case you feel you are running late for an important meeting/ presentation and you dont have an option of your private vehicle, it is advisable to go by auto or by bus. The 3rd option is STRICTLY Not Advisable. Because if you read this and still bother to venture by train, by the time you get down at the station you look like a trim garden been unseemingly tresspassed upon. Enough said, lets focus upon the 3rd and vital mode of transport- the multi-populated Bus.
Its really a bumpy ride because of :
1. The sheer amount of potholes on the road which makes the craters on the moon seem decent !!! not to mention the zillions of times the driver slams the brakes unnecessariliy [whatever]
2. The no of people squeezed inside a bus- the max capacity would only be 60 standees but on an average a bus will contain around 100 people !!!
3. The most irritating person- also known as the Conductor who is ignorant of how to Conduct himself.
I'll emphasize upon point no.3
We have many types of conductors. Some just give the tickets and hardly speak as if they use their mouths very rarely. Others seem to use ONLY their mouths for no apparent reason. Some others CANNOT use their mouths due to chewing of paan, etc.............
The MOST COMMON prolem is of CHANGE.
It will do a lot of good to simply CHANGE such conductors, but i am talking about loose Money- CHANGE. I just cant grasp why they have so much problem with it. Their pockets will be full of jingling coins but when you give him Rs. 10 for a ticket worth Rs 5/6 he stares at it as if you are showing him a dead leaf !! He grumbles and sports a grimace as if he is undergoing some painful, internal stuggle and asks for change. How much chage can 1 person posibly carry ?? You give him change for 2 weeks and one day you ask him sternly for change- that is equal to inviting him for a shouting competition- it seems as if he gives change from his own personal legacy- he'll start with the argument that you are being insolent, that you should always carry change no matter what and lastly such people are the cause of degrading the standard of Mumbai- as if he himself is a priceless Gemstone !!
Due to my electronic card which is like a credit card in which you pay the money in advance for a months worth of tickets at the depot [Smart Card !!], I dont have to indulge in any word battles with him.
The no of people chatterring in the bus is also huge. Children crying, husbands and wives prolonging their household arguments, others shouting on their mobile phones coupled with the constant honking of the horn by the driver, some unfortunate change-less person arguing with the conductor - all this leaves you ear drums to plead for mercy !!!
But thanks to the Bus, I have many friends, who go on the same route, from different colleges. many of us simply plug in earfones to our ears to avoid the noise, others discuss about studies or worldly issues.
The bus represents a peice of society which is mobile but is a representation of people's lives. You'll find all kinds of people travelling in it as the fare is subsidized- college students, people going to work, people going for various other things etc. It is very compact and people are very close to each other [physically due 2 no space !!] here at least as compared to the actual world outside the bus.
As years go by, and people acquire their own private vehicles, they leave the habit of travelling via public transport. A collection of various people embarged with so many daily troubles who are still warm to you if you ask the route or a stop. But the flavour and variety of life in a Bus or a train can NEVER be found in the cozyness of your 2/4 wheeler !!
