In life,
Every time you walk into a room
Full of people —
Some would greet you
And welcome you,
Some would straight away ignore you
And some would just let you know that
They don't appreciate your presence.

These all are just favours to you.
Be sure to return them...

She sat there outside the cottage,
Thumping the flour to make mould,
While mother made the chapatis
By blowing into the stove...

Mother coughed once a while
Her eyes red and sore
She wiped them with her saree,
And went on to make more...

She saw boys with books and bags
Running about towards the school
She asked "Mother, can I go too ?"
Mother replied, "Are you a fool ?"

"You planning to throw dirt on our faces ?
You are of age; who is going to take your hand ?
If anyone saw you going school,
And you trying to be like a man..."

She did not protest,
Nor did she blame her state...
She looked at mother again,
And she knew her fate...

There's been these few words,
Deep inside me
For quite some time now...
I think it originated in my heart,
Wandered around in my mind,
Tossed out and put back in
Again and again;
But they never could make it
To my lips.

You know how people's first instincts
Are generally the right ones ?
But then they choose
To ignore them cause
We think a lot !
That's what it is...

"You don't deserve me..."
There, I said it...

Everybody talks about being broken.

Well, I don't get that;
Has anything damaged you:
Damaged your soul to the
point that it can't be fixed ?
That you're now some
weird, creepy and sad guy
With issues beyond repair ??

No ? Then get over it.
You think 'broken' is the new 'cool' ?
Well it isn't.
Broken is when you
cry your heart out and
then realise you don't really have a
reason for crying since
everything you see around –
Isn't yours to cry for...

I found her
In between all those
Painful nights and
Hopeless moments;
And somehow,
Everything wrong with
My life and this world:
It didn't matter anymore...

-

That their lives
could have been better,
someway or another;
Or atleast they try to...

-

Dreams are made of
Those broken pieces
Of reality,
That we so desperately
Try to keep together...

-

Even if you forget me,
Remember my story...

-

I can fix whatever
Stupids can;
but I can't fix stupids...
