Big round eyes on a sweet small face,
Walks with a charming young lady's grace.

Always wished to drop by and just to say, 'Hi!'
But, that's old style, something new, wished to try.

Poetry, could I write; this could be my way.
With a dearth of context, let me just say, 'Hey!'

Though wasn't sure, whether I should write,
But known I'm guy, with a huge risk appetite.

I mean no offence, and hope, to have made none.
To make you read these lines, and let you have some fun.

-

A sweet voice that I heard at the bru,
Have caught you smiling just like 'pooh'

A few times in the mess looking at you,
When you caught my eyes stealing a view.

I've caught your glimpse, quite often.
My mind calling out loud, "Hey, Listen!"

The same with my voice, I couldn't do,
So here I write my thoughts, to you.

Just to break the ice; lines here, a few.
Pardon me for my presumption. Umm, will you?

WHEN I WAS A KID!

When I was a kid,
And used to be timid.
I got scared of small changes.
But, as I grew up,
Tasted life in a cup.
I realized it has wide ranges.

As I lived and grew,
learned things, a few.
Got to meet a lot of strangers.
Some turned friends,
Some acquaintances.
In the journey that I traverse.

A long way to go,
From this point now,
So much that I wish to know more.
To relish uncertain yonder,
What to ascertain, I ponder,
Anxious - patient, the waves - the shore.

"Bada aadmi banna padta hai"

Start-up karne chala main pagal,
Yeh samajh me aya aaj.
Ki social service ke is dangal,
Me bhi ameeron ka h taj.

Mahindra sahab ke Twitter pe,
Kare ye duniya badi salaam.
Kisan ki bhi madad kar na sake,
Ye mera start-up hai itna aam.

Social service karne ke liye bhi,
Bada aadmi banna hota hai.
Lakhon hazaron social workers ko,
Warna kaun aaj puchhta hai.

Tata ji ki badaiyaa, taarefein,
Karte nhi thakti janta jaan.
Lekin sapath ye leta hun main,
Pure honge mere bhi armaan.

Happiness today is costly! (Part 2/2)

Food is no more healthy,
Air is no fresh, no pure.
Diseases so often go viral,
What all do we endure.

Isn't there a solution?
Isn't it feasible enough?
Difficult it is to answer,
These questions, so tough.

Happiness today is costly! (Part 1/2)

Happiness today is costly,
It needs a lot of sweat.
Surrounded by poachers,
Peace is at a threat.

In a competitive lifestyle,
Continuous is the race.
To slow, is to die,
To live, keep up pace.

Serenity is succumbing,
Entangled in plastic.
Such is this urbanization,
Nothing here is rustic.

The Monotone! (Part 2/2)

No efforts, no gain.
Save me all the pain.
No emotional drain,
No fucked-up brain.

A lost game, it seems,
Another life, in dreams.
The solitude soul gleams.
Life is so full of memes.

The Monotone! (Part 1/2)

Not that, I haven't dated,
But, nothing consolidated.
Complains, that I'm dated,
Makes me, her belated.

Citing reasons jarred,
Abandons me scarred.
Embitter me, yet hard,
Enclose me, in my ward.

Broken, I pick my pieces,
Concealed, emotion releases.
"Lucky you", friend teases,
Unaware of the story details.

Friend loses a match in chess!

Me: you should eat Oregano, because you need more seasoning!

The world, like a train
