When i close my eyes



-When I close my eyes-
I see darkness around, desperate for the silver lines-
I open my eyes again, only to realize the same twinge.

-When I close my eyes-
I also see hope, hope of love and togetherness,
Only to realize it’s be wilderness.
Thoughts rejuvenate,
And then gets stuck between old times.

-When I close my eyes-
I sometimes feel like a warrior,
Getting ready for a new challenge,
Brushing aside my old scar,
Fighting a lone battle for a new start.

-But then you come back,
With the same old enigma
You whisper in my ears and then stare,
only to rekindle the same wish and the same prayer.

"The Shadow"

Sat down by the river side, Happened to see the shadow saying lie The picture was hazy and the light was about to die Not ready to face the truth, I was shy. The day got over but I was hell bound, and the thought kept coming around. Could listen to my heart pounding with a peculiar sound, I was lost but did not want to be loud. The next day was cloudy and it was about to rain, Mustered my energy and went by the river side again, To look out for a new identity and to be sane, Unfortunately saw a lost soul about to be drained. The truth was bitter than what I had thought, But I knew I could fight the situation out, Wanted to forget the past and the callous ghost, Rediscovering the soul looked within the coast. Things were beautiful now and the picture was clear, The roads were wider and the ears could hear, All the eyes were open and there was no tinge of tear, Without a doubt, everyone looked dear. The light was brighter and the belly had a new fire, With an open vision, the destiny was...

"Aarushi Murder Case-An Eye opener"

“Aarushi Murder Case-An Eye opener” What we have witnessed in the Aarushi- Hemraj murder case has been anything but outrageous. The whole case has been an eye opener for the Media and the General public. Media is a very important tool which unfortunately has been misused by the police and the media itself. Each and every Case is being turned into a soap opera as it leads to high TRP’s. Commercialization of the News channels has had an adverse effect on its content. Blaming a Father for the murder of his own daughter is something which is very new to the Indian society. The hearts of an average Indian would not agree to this theory. No one can empathize with the family and the grief they are undergoing right now as it is an all together new territory which hardly anyone has experienced. Though we must respect the investigation by police, the manner in which it has been carried out has left all of us to ponder about the Truth. I was watching the show “We the People” on NDTV and a very in...

"The Sunrise"

Woke up in the morning for a new sunrise, Hoping it would bring some thing to smile. No was the answer from deep inside, When would I see a new sunrise? Lost in the mountains and the crowded lines, Can’t find it in the heavens and between the silver lines, Behind the ocean, in a deep blue sky Raised the sun with the same old sly! There was no cloud in the sky, I was happy and I wanted to fly. Before some one came and said good bye, I was left stranded to clear my eye. A new beginning was in my mind, Though my sight was at the hind. Was there any one to read between the lines? Not ready to give up, hope was my pride. The sun rose again with a different shine, Without being somber, it tasted like a wine, Came out with it a new lease of life, Oh my god I am on a high. The sun is now with a different light, So I’ll try my best to keep it alight, Would never give up and keep up the fight, Before it goes out of my sight!
