Finding Happiness

After years of being occupied with clichéd life, finally managed to shape my thoughts in the form of a simple poem.

You wonder if there's something wrong in this world,
Then you wonder, maybe it's not the world but maybe it's you,
Or maybe there is nothing wrong at all,
But there is something which does not seem to be true..

Most of our lives are spent working night and day,
Spent on buying things that we do not need,
Most our lives our loved ones are elsewhere and away,
And for the ones that are close there isn't enough time to knead...

What is it then that will mend this broken world,
What is it that will give a meaning to one's life?
Attachment is the cause of all suffering they say,
And without it, everything can be all right..

For me I crave for happiness the most,
Maybe that's why I smile and laugh most of the time,
But otherwise my time is spent on wondering,
What is it that actually makes us happy in life..

Right now I just want to travel places,
I want to adopt all the strays from the street,
I want all the time to read some books,
Sometimes I just crave for a good night's sleep..

And I want to meet you, wherever you are,
Spend some time with you and maybe travel and explore,
For it has been a pretty long journey, and a pretty crazy world,
I don't know how long I can go on my own...

So maybe that's all that is needed for us to be happy,
Sounds so simple, so how did I not think of it before?
Or maybe, 'happiness' is just a state of mind,
Something that is achieved when one reaches beyond the shore...

Farewell Blues...

I can’t believe that our farewell is here already,
Can’t believe that the college will be getting over at last,
I don’t know whether to laugh, cry or to be steady,
can't believe that time can fly away so fast...

But it seems just like yesterday,
That I had entered this campus like a scared little thing,
Afraid that i might be taken and maybe ragged right away,
And be made to dance around, or maybe even made to sing! ...

But in the beginning there were no worries n no tensions at all,
And scoring good marks and all were out of my page,
We were just happy to bunk and hang around in the canteen stall,
and this was long before those formulas were discovered to calculate our attendance percentage...

Now never before I had known how it felt when your friends had to go away,
I had never known how it feels to be in love,
And how bad it feels when you have your first heartbreak,
But I am glad for all these memories I have had till now...


If i say honestly then guys i wont be missing the college at all,
i was always too lazy to get up and travel anyways,
but its d fun that we have had and all my friends that i'l miss,
And in my life these will surely b the most memorable days...


My time around here has always been really special,
But sometimes life never seemed to be at all fair,
but the pranks that we played on each other and all those jokes have always kept me going,
specially those jokes on peter's blue-tooth and jolova's hair...


So this poem is dedicated to all those present here,
All those who have spent past 4 years in this college and specially those who have spent even more,
I am sure, all the time we have spent here will always be dear,
So guys lets enjoy this 1 more day like we have never before...   

Thanks Mom… :):)

This poem I wrote for my mom on her birthday yesterday…and she really liked it…so I thought maybe I should share it too… :)

When the world was too small to live in,                            
When the future was too blurred to see,
And when the truth was so difficult to believe in,
Thanks mom for always being there for me...

Thanks mom for holding my weak little hand,
When the time was hard and it was so difficult to walk,
Thanks a lott for lending me your sweet voice,
When I was a kid and had just started to talk...

Thanks for all the advice thanks for all the care,
Without which I would be lost by now,                          
For listening to my boring stories from here and there,
And making my life so simple somehow...

Thanks for the words of courage that you gave,
When I was down and in a lonely form,                              
For never before i could feel so brave,                      
Never before I could face such a raging storm...

Thanks for everything that you always did,
Thanks for everything that you still do,
For forgiving all my mistakes and for being the lead,
I could have done nothing without you...

May god shower his choicest blessings on you this day,
May all our prayers and all your wishes be heard,
And hope you have a great birthday today,
Fitting the greatest mom in the world...

Stuck on you...

Jus some random thoughts...maybe worthy enough to be given some space...might connect with many people... at least i hope so... :)

Even when all the things have become all right,
And the only worries are so few,
Even when the skies have become so bright,
With no signs of troubles that i once knew...


Still everything does not seem to be fine,
Still it's hard to believe that it is so true,
Maybe since i know it at the back of my mind,
Still, i just hope that i am not stuck on you...


So long it must hav been,
Now I thought maybe i was fine again,
I knew my troubles were only to be seen,
Somewhere down the memory lane...


Then why do i feel the tears drop by,
And why do i think the world is not sane,
Even though there is no reason to cry,
Why am i still feeling this weird pain...?


Maybe it has something to do with your pretty face,
Or maybe because the charm around you has increased even more,
Cuz whenever you look at me I may show no trace,
Of how much helpless the heart becomes to the core...


Sometimes i think there is nothing to fear,
But at times i feel all tired and drained,
And maybe it will take more then one year,
For everything to be all right again...


I wish i could read out my mind,
Oh how i wish, if i only knew,
For i had never known a feeling of this kind,
Still, I jus hope i am not stuck on you...
