I know I have believed in love
Since a long, long time
On the elves, witches and magic beans
And the fairy godmothers
Who cast blessings
That fade away at the stroke of midnight
but leave us with memories
That fill us with happiness and delight
The handsome prince
who falls for a countryside maiden
And the stories that tells us that
Love is the most powerful emotion
Alas, as I grew up,
the world was way too cruel
for me to understand
Even if I begged them to stop
They still broke my trust
and stomped on my heart
The prince charming of my dreams
turned out to be
a monster with a hideous face
And I discovered that
those who claimed to be my angel
Were the ones who poisoned my apples
again and again.
So, here's what the world made a 22 year old believe,
That Love is a sign of being vulnerable and weak
Forever is just another of their myth
and fairytales don't exist!-

I know there are days when you have to try too hard
When it feels like waking up from bed is itself a task
When the bad times suck all the positivity out of your mind
And, the only way out of those harsh situations is to grind.
The day feels longer, as if the sun would never set
As you look out of the window
longing for the cold breeze of the night to calm your senses
You can't even ask the question, "why me?"
Because you knew it was where you have chosen to be
Even if it's a hard day
the hardships are necessary
So you just close your eyes, calm your nerves
and starts working with all your energy
You feel like complaining but a sense of guilt traps you inside
What if, it gives the impression that
I am emotionally weak if I claim to not be fine.
But, dear, who cares what the world thinks?
It's just emotions, plain and simple,
not an out of the world thing
Emotions are never right or wrong,
they are just a reaction to everything we face along
So, let yourself feel the negativity at times,
Cry, blame or complaint whatever you do
Just remember, you don't have to justify
your feelings in front of anyone, even if that's you.-
तेरे प्यार में
यह दिल बड़ा पागल था
तुझे एक पल देखने को
बड़ा तड़पता था
रोज़ तेरी यादों को गुलाब में लिए
यह दिल बस तुझे निहारता था
कभी देने की हिम्मत तो न हुई तुझे
हां, पछतावा आज भी है उस बात का ।
वक़्त का पहिया यूं तो सारे गम भुला देता है
मगर मेरे प्यार को वो पिघला न पाया ।
भूल न पाया तेरी उस मीठी सी हसीं को
आज भी दिल की तिजोरी में
मैंने उसे संजोकर रखा है
मां की नज़रों से दूर किताबों के पन्नों के अंदर
आज भी उस गुलाब की सूखी पंखुड़ियों को
मैंने संभलकर रखा है।

"Here I am again, opening up the closet of my heart,
Yes, something happened, although quite bland and ordinary for this society
Yet, I couldn’t repress the turbulent flow of my words..."
