Listen to your soul


Once in a while,

Through all these mini battles, at times journeys,

Leading to destinations, ironically the once whose finishing lines keep stretching n beyond,

Who knows they ever meet the horizons?

After all we are the ones who say sky is the limit,

Only to ignore the fact, its  always wise to calculate in numbers,

That's what we do even when we fuel our vehicles,

Be it few steps or miles forever..

And when it comes to dreaming,

We are so irrational and ignorant..

We say we should be practical,

Than why not the same applies for our bodies n souls?

And later complain of challenges and irrational goals..

 

One Calm day,

I sit and ponder,

What is home??

Where is home??

Always working so hard,

With the dreams of building one of own someday,

We forget home is where,

We were once,

And its gone and left,

The day not when we left it,

But the day we started

Knitting the pillars for the future ones,

And we say than,

Home is where the heart lies,

And so your present cries..

But isn’t that what we are suppose to work and strive for?

In these hassles n tussles,

All I can at times do is,

Get confined to “my zone", "my space"

I don’t realize it exists,

Until it calls me,

This calling means,

Without guilt of lazing around,

Without the concerns of future,

Just being in the moment

For a while or probably fraction of seconds,

Just pausing that race,

Which you are running along with millions of others,

And several others of ourselves, our own past,

Or even what we were yesterday..

What we wanted to be someday back in that day..

 

 This place gives so much calmness to me,

The serendipity of it,

Feels pity at the lackadaisical me,

The restless me, the impatient me..

 


But what it loves is the zest with which this guy works hard and hopes to one day have his place called own home.

This home would not just be of walls and roof, and family of course,

But it would speak volumes of this impatient journey, a tough one,

A tough one, a lot may times, a lost one,

A dark one, a scary one..

But this my space is what gets me going this far..

But moving forward, after all those years and having achieved all those milestones?

Would this 'my space' home, be still there??

Would the house be able to go replace my space?

Don’t know!!

What's important is still be able to retain my space in that big dream physical material home as well...

 

In this rush, mad race,

Calm down a bit, cheat with this “never say die spirit” attitude

 If you cant buy!

Steal some time out for yourself,

Oh c’mon even if thats hard to do,

If u cant affort to loose time,

Goddamn pause it!!

After all haven’t u heard?

Its not the years in your life that matters?

But its the life in your years that counts..

So this buying out time is too tough a gesture for u,

Just pause it,

Don’t rewind, don’t fast forward

Just be in the still!!

You don’t know what's salvation?

You are already living in a world of delusion and hallucination

Its all in the mind,

Just switch off the worries button,

 

Breathe , relax and hear your intuitions..

By far I can say,

Mine really scream at me,

That, its all fine

U got to chill,

Live in now,

For rest its there,

Its the intuitions which drive us to define goals,

which try and meet the poles,

But what we don’t hear is that ,

At the same time,

They want you to take time out,

To live, laugh, love..tc..

Hear your soul,

Don’t get so busy hearing others,

Explaining others,

Who don’t even stay forever

In  shouting out loud,

Proving others,

Bloody every single of us here,

Wants to prove a point to somebody else, but to themselves..

U are forgetting somebody very important..

Most important..

Your inner self..

Which is always there inside u,

Longing to speak to u,

Hear u out,

It wants to be heard as well..

Live with it,

Don’t trap it,

That your body becomes a cage of bones,

Here your soul, your conscious, take care

Listen, pause, take some time out..

Its ultimately the life within u,

That wants to come out and fly,

Its her which is baring u by so far,

The day u let her come out and  express.

That's the day u will actually realize freedom.

Salvation is freedom,

When there is freedom,

Lifes everyday a vacation,

Your existence is celebration..

When u understand this,

U will get back your home,

The home which always existed

But whose door is locked by us,

And using its key to open the houses of others,

 



By seeing others,

Comparing them,

Competing with them,

Forgetting the home

They locked is different from yours,

The soul trapped inside is not yours,

Using your key to fix their doors, and they are doing the same on yours,

 

Thus continuing the mad race,

Find your key,

Hear your soul,

U will be back @ home,

Realizing u never lost.......

My Quest For Questioning You



My quest for questioning you,
Only to find answers to my understandings about u,
Whenever I ponder over you & your existence,
It’s just a pitch dark or a maze of gaze...
As bright as sun
Or as dark as the pangs of lust...
In short nothing but a blur secret it has been left on the world to decide,
They seek existence for what is black is black
& white as white. Such are those fools!!!
Only to realize the real mystery is in the grey,
Coz life has its own shades and its ways...
Why don’t others accept?
  For what I seek,





Neither them, nor can I see,
What I see is a dark room,
With u and him,
Questions asked
  Answers given
        Hence proved..!!!
But there’s no how n why??
Coz it’s beyond mine or anyone’s reach
But they say practice what u preach...
Okay! So you want proof n evidence for every single existence?
I can say that not every sight is captured same way by the same lens
When I began searching for u,
With a matchstick
Which is already bleak n weak..?
I went round and round, left and right,
Spared not a single side!!!

Already knowing deep within that I would never find...
Coz I look for u at an iota of inch; one at a time,
Than who has ever seen the speed of the light???
With one matchstick I can’t deny that I dint search the room...
But only if it was a larger light,
I could have definitely seen something more of u...

If I get this,
I wish for others too….
For beauty lies in the eyes of the spectator,
Similarly an open mind is a must key for new invention…

Android vs IOS



As you sow shall you reap” this adage holds very true for the hot button issue regarding the booming advent of newer technologies.

With such vicious competition in the market, instead of thanking the available and doable technologies that we are been bestowed upon with, on the flip side we have started to arbitrate and misguage them  as well.
We talk of evolution; I say this is a ruckus whimsical revolution. Why on earth are we being so competitive and demanding??The pangs of competition has given us so much authority that we as human race, who were once upon a time relying on letters to be connected with our loved ones are now questioning the creditability of apps like screen touch, watsapp, viber and skype etc.



Who am I to debate between android and IOS juxtaposed in technically sapped paradigms? Well I am technically sound but what about the 65% + population of India? The so called “LAY MAN’S” in the IT circuit. They don’t want to know the comparison between IOS and android. They don’t talk in terms of technical jargons like OS, GB and processor speed out of curiosity (exceptions are there, but we are talking at a global level).

What makes them happy and simplify their already so complex life is availing these technical gadgets in their limited budget. So that they can save their hard earned cash to banish their future generations for being type casted as layman and put that money to good use. They wouldn’t be willing to waste their cash on high priced apple gadgets alias the mother womb of IOS,they would rather buy a micromax with all the same features in 1/4th the price.

I can vouch on behalf of 99% of 30+ aged generations of India and of middle class population and for 100% of mentally sound Indians that we would go for android. When it is giving us everything we need rather than IOS phone (a dream for wannabe teenagers and those who fall in the category of rags to riches).

A successful product is the one which touches the heart of the common man and not the credit cards of few rich. Android has a global appeal and customer base. Just doing one market survey would be great enough to justify.




Kaisa ye abka ishq hai,Aur kaisi hi hain iski arzoo-e-abroo?

Kaisa ye abka ishq hai,
Aur kaisi hi hain iski arzoo-e-abroo?
Farmate yu hain hum aajkal,
Kuch bhi,kaise bhi,
Kuch is tarah se kabhi bhi..
Tu ayegi,haath thamegi,dil sambhalegi,
Ye tere waqt-e-intezaar me
Ab ashiqui hi karna bhool chuke the hum,



Bahut arse baad, phir parinde ye hasrato ke mere udey hai ,
thode sirfire se aaj mere ye par fir khule hain..

par ye talaash me yaar,
ishq ke bahut se naazuk se kuch manzar-e-maqam hain..
itne baar chalakne ke baad,

ye kaanch-se-ashq-e-dil
ab fadakta kuch jaldi aur aam se thoda sa zaada bhi hai!!
dekha nahi madhushaala,
bas ishq-e-jaam se pyaas bujha leta hai,

kadwi-meethi-sasti-ameer
sabse hi aakhein chaar kar leta hai..
phir kitna hi kyu nahi ye nadaan pachtata hai..
tu mile to sab naseeb hai,
teri talaash me jo bhi mile ,
wo bhi hamare kareeb hai...

ye kais ajab aaj ki ishq hai..aur kya iski abroo-e-imaan..
naah hi hai,itna dil ki galiyo me mere itna mash-hoor,
ki hasraton mein kar jaaye katal-e-aam

aur na hi muktasir lamha wo,
jo palak jhapakte hi fanaa ho jaye..
har pal har lamha har kisi ko ,
iska na hona ek sitam satata hai,
aur saath hi kisi ka bhi wo,
kona chahat ka bhar paana hume nagawaar hota jata hai!!

khud ki khushfamiyo se guftagu rubaru karata hai..
phir kyu hume khud par itna guroor hai?
Ki na ye kisi ko bhi wo kona dena chahta hai
Nazre to bahuto se milata hai..
Nazdeeki bhi bahuto se badhata hai..

Par wo nasha ek hi se hai
Jo surror par jaata hai..
Raaton ko din,
Din me chaand dikhata hai..

Kaisa ye ishq or iski arzoo hai
Kaha hoga agaaz,
Aur kahin anzaam tak parwaan chad jaata hai…
Kaisa ye ishq hai??

My Creative Zone


My creative zone:
I have been lost for a while,
I sense now that I go lost for quite a while,
This has been happening quite a bit in a while,

Well in the meanwhile, when am here and partially sane,
Trust me no drugs, no booze can occur to me at mundane,
Today this moment , now happens to be the one,
I want to share n speak and talk so much,
So much I do talk that it goes to waste,
Or too much of my silence is again keeping my thoughts n views in a fix n paste
I don’t know its magic or a mirage,
But for whatever little time I am on your side of the aisle……
I do not ever remember what I see there.
It’s not that all the things that I choose to talk,
But there’s nothing much that I intend to hide,
But for some reason I can’t bring it out open and wide.
        This room is locked and hidden
        Where not everyone can just knock n enter….
            A curse or a boon??

Today I feel I have got a chance.
To reflect upon from where I go disappear.
This is from the place I get my solace,
Which embodies a game of hide n seek at its own wish n pace.
I don’t understand one thing,
I never make attempts to enter there,
They definitely don’t come and invite me either.
Than why do I still dangle between the world of my dreams and of my doings??
Why can’t they be chosen to be one...?

Please my dreams if u can conquer me and my world so much??
Then also shed light and tell me where do I belong??
Let me be for once just being out of this whole living on the edge and be in the corner of the aisle.
Please help me decide, what am I destined to?

Ours has been quiet a drab n drag...
A relationship of lags...
Every single time when I leave & detach from your world and come to sanity
M a none here……….
When I finally make up my mind and do efforts
And try to be a someone…
Climb the monutains,
I never thought which once existed for me as a hurdle,
U make me realize I am a tortoise or a mere turtle.
Coz I thought I got wings to fly,
But now I know that I am just a kite,
Whose strings are attached to your world?
But it has swayed far across to this world, why can’t u just cut me off…
If pulling is too tough a gesture for u………
I just can’t deny where I am pushed too...
And from where my heart says I reside...
I feel cheated form u
While m cheating the normal world
It’s not fair for all 3 of us...
If u accept me
we can do wonders,
Else let me just surrender.
I am sure from the lessons I have learned from your atrocities and betrayal…
M quiet fixed up for the mountains.
Difficulty is being forced to climb
When I have wings quiet above them n high……
Wings can fly
Legs can climb
But now with wings, I  will always find it surreal to climb??
When I can fly!!!

See how confuse have u become by now
So imagine the sea whirling over within me and ma mind
It’s just a volcanic eruption
Only to cease temporally,
My mind is just too occupied,
Best thing is let course of life decide its ride
Coz one things for sure.
I can settle for nothing less than a winning stride.
Every phase has its own low n high tides...
So how much ever lost n confused am I??
I am always going to glide...
And maintain my talents dignity n pride...

See there again I am lost for a while,
I can go lost in a blink, in a while...
Lost…while…….lost….ummmmmm
