A part of me withers away everyday.......

 Missing you is now
The only thing I do all day,
A part of me
Withers away everyday,
You are in my smiles,
In my tears,
You are too far,
Yet, too near,
Earlier I believed I could learn,
But now I know I can’t,
Coz learning to live without you,
Hurts like a cactus plant,
I try to keep myself busy,
But it’s not easy anyway,
A part of me,
Withers away everyday,
Lost in your memories,
My throat often goes dry,
But I hold back my tears,
I say to myself I must not cry,
I have gone deaf,
I have gone dumb,
This world I don’t notice,
Loneliness has made me numb,
I still have a hope,
And everyday I pray,
But, a part of me,
Withers away everyday,
This world is true,
Something still gives me a clue,
We’ll meet, yes we will,
No matter how high there may be a hill,
If there is something called a heart,
If I was ever true on my part,
Then the thorns between us,
Will never tear me apart,
No hill and no thorn,
None can block our way,
But what should I do,
A part of me,
Still withers away everyday………………

A lunch with the Prime Minister......

What an experience it was. A man like me, a person who earns just Rs. 25000 per month and who commutes between North Mumbai and South Mumbai every morning and evening was experiencing the pleasure of having lunch with the real head of the country. Yesterday was a day when I had lunch with none other than The Prime Minister of India. I was sitting before Mr. Manmohan Singh after passing through so many security checks and with so many security guards and commandos surrounding me, rather I should say surrounding him. My head was bulging with thoughts, with questions and with doubts. The worst question that my mind darted at me was, “Will they shoot me if I dropped something on the floor?”. If that was not enough, my great mind posed another question to me, “Is there a possibility that I am having lunch with a look alike of Mr. Manmohan Singh and they have hid the real prime minister somewhere?”. Man, I was really getting mad. But how can a person like me stop himself from getting mad when he is sitting in front of such an eminent personality. Then my mind reminded me of the questions that I had planned to ask him. “Sir how do you manage so many scams?” “Have you taken even one decision on your own in your term or were they all Sonia ji’s?” “Please tell me about any more scam that’s in the pipeline” “Do you guys run some coaching classes on corruption?”. There were much more of these questions, but I was not able to bring myself to ask any one of them. I looked up to see him and several other persons eating in calm. Then I again began to think how I landed up having lunch with the head of the state(Yes I was not eating, although so many delicacies were lying before me, and the thing was that no one was even asking me to eat). But suddenly someone called my name and my heart began to beat so fast as if it was in a race to set a Guinness world record. I heard my name again. I turned around sweating with fear. “Why are you sweating, the AC’s on, right?”. My colleague Prakash was standing before me. My lunch break was over and my tiffin was still lying intact before me…………………..

The world's not mine......

Standing in the crowd,
I find myself alone,
In this world of pseudo humans,
To feel alienated I am prone,
I find everyone just the same,
It seems they are playing a game,
Game of hearts it is called,
In which others pain is everyone's pleasure,
The spirit of brotherhood has vanished,
And others sorrows have become everyone's treasure,
I don't know till when this will last,
Till when at others hearts people will throw a stone,
But all I know is,
standing in this crowd,
I find myself alone!!!!!!!!

The breeze and me.......

The air last night whistled past my ears,
It whispered to me,
And promised it will let me know if you are in tears,
Tears, I said to myself,
I will never let roll down your eyes,
I will give you not any sorrow, not any lies,
I told the breeze to take your care,
Coz I will always try, but at times I may not be there,
It asked me why,
And I said because one day I may have to die,
That would be the only time I will not be around,
But I will not leave behind for you,
Any pain that may surround,
We chatted for long,
And in the end the breeze and I both said cheers....
And that was a night when the air whistled past my ears!!!!!!!!
