Someone

Love someone..

Someone who helps you grow

And never belittles

Someone who questions

With an intention to understand

Someone who reads your mind

Yet values your words 

Someone who lets you make mistakes

And learn from them

Someone who helps you with your problems

Never being a cause of it

Someone who helps you stay in reality

Yet doesn't stop your dreams to take the flight

Someone who confronts you when you are wrong

And stays by your side to make it right

Someone who treats you equal

Never overpowers  or let you do the same

Someone who let's you live your life the way you want

Yet wanting to be a part of it, holding your hand, staying by your side

Someone who helps you fall in love, some more

With your ownself this time...

Versions..

Love I have seen

Of various kinds

The warm hugs of my granpa,

Everytime he visited me and surprised.

In the patience of my father,

For the long hours of wait during extra hours of class time.

The hot food made by my mum,

Even when she was running a high fever.

The understanding by my sister,

Forgetting the silly fights we had last time we met.

The care by my friends,

Who made sure we made the mistakes together.

Finally in the peace his presence brings along,

With a hope to stand together in all the adversities we face...

More

I am more 

More than the words I speak

More than the scribblings I pen down

More than the mistakes I commit

More than the happiness I spread

More than the moon I gaze

More than the stars that amaze

More than the skills I adorn

More than the defects evident

More than the songs I listen to

More than the movies I swoon to

More than the people I love

More than the people who hate me

More than the miles I have travelled

More than the hours I have idled

More than the blessings I received

More than the hardships I surpassed

More than the skin that's shown

More than the soul that's hidden

More than what I was yesterday

Lot more than what I am today...

रंगमंच

हुआ नहीं पहले कभी

खुद से खुद अनजान हूं बनी

क्या मै चाहूं

ये भी ना जानू

ना समझ ना चातुर्य

बचपना अनोखा

छोटी सी भूल

या मूर्ख बड़ी उम्र

सच या झूट

प्यार या दोस्ती

गुजरता समय

या ज़िन्दगी है थम गई

क्या सही क्या ग़लत

क्या लाज़मी क्या अन्र्थ

दिल का खेल सभी

ये ज़िन्दगी ही एक रंगमंच बनी

Far away

I'm sorry

That is all I can be

I was at mistake

So were you

Keeping a count

Will that help any of the two

In your rage and anger

Please don't tarnish

Whatsoever we shared

The helplessness and heartbreak

As a friend

Even I share

Life is such

Not everything is for us to understand

Few happenings are

Beyond us to comprehend

So let us not depart

On sour terms

Cause what we shared 

Doesn't deserve an ugly death

I can only let you know

That I care

By staying away..

Far away

As I can.....

Losing Battle

You don't want to hurt anyone

Yet people get hurt

You don't want to give any false hopes

Yet they get built

You try and keep everything simple

Yet things get complicated beyond your comprehend

You try to be a good friend

Yet not everyone will be ready for friendship

You try to understand them

Yet they pay you a deaf ear

You try to avoid the unnecessary rifts

Yet people gift you those in huge numbers

All you want is peace

Yet you don't get any

Life isn't for you to understand all the time

Forgo this losing battle

Don't look for validation from outside

Know your story

Stay right

Don't explain

Don't plead

Peace will come to you, wherever you are

Stay humble

Focus on your path

Spread smiles across...

Pawn

Fool I became

Joke it was

Every word

The gestures

Were planned and placed

Nothing was true

Nothing surreal

It was a game

And I just a pawn
