Verses on verve

today i stand and stare at time
how it passes steadily
it is finishing us one second at a time
even when we dont give in readily

it feels strange as it keeps ticking away
is hair greying equal to soul enlightening
the body is just petals that are withering away
is there a light inside thats constantly brightening

as i grow older i am left with more questions
no one with answers, no place to find them
as i look inside i keep having realizations
that answers are made with life poured in them

a fallen arm and a broken bone
yells of pain deep in tone
gushing blood turning everything red
but a will  to live beyond the tears shed

in the night its so dark outside
in plainsight one can hide
those buried parts need no showing off
that face neednt hide what words say of

i see a tree thats towering so high
the shade is enough to make the sun shy
i lay beneath thinking, asking questions why
is the tree so giving even when we make it cry

the mother grips her childs hand ever so tight
there are cars speeding at a change of light
theres fear in her heart and sweat in her hand
her eyes scan the road for hours end

the child has no clue what's going on
he looks at his hand that is reddening on
the sweat makes his hand slip, he cant believe his luck
he runs free from pain into a speeding truck

in life i get most things the moment i click
theres groceries, clothes even an artificial dick
there's love i pour for your modified pic
as my copassenger likes the pic of  the same chick

as i sit beside you i wonder
we arent the same
our clothes are different
smells, words and tastes
our worlds are apart
values, beliefs and hates
how can i carry care
for you in my heart
for when comes despair
i dont want to be the subject
of your thoughts
on smells, words and tastes
and the reason for you to say
why should i care

lets spray blood on these walls and call it art
it might be gory but hey, its a start
what most people value is mostly pain
before it gets washed up by the miserable rain

i hate this, abhor his and loathe the very thought
that youre different and a twisted juggernaut
your difference isnt variety its a sickening drought
of shallow feelings, ideas, borrowed and bought

why is it you and your existence my experience
why isnt it people who say yes and swear allegiance
i hate the fact that youre parallel and fucking new
ive learnt and grown but fuck you

i kept thinking in love id fall
thered be just spring and no fall
but that lover never came and ive been hurt is all
ill still wait, this aint final call

but what if no one was meant to come
me waiting in love is how I learnt some
redness in roses is not just my lovers lips
its beauty in creation and all its gifts

there's a window and i see a man
he sits there all day and sees life pass him by

Why Chelsea?

I’ve often held this grouse against Liverpool and Manchester United’s fans that when you tend to have a discussion with them they bring out the reference of the “glory” days of the clubs. Man U in some respects have continued their supremacy owing to the twin factors of a tenacious manager and some poor performances of their rivals. But Liverpool as long as I have followed the league have been very patchy. They throw in some brilliant unstoppable performances some times and play utterly clueless football at other times. There is no denying the glorious history of the club. They have been the club with the most number of premier league titles and a history that’s etched in stone and full of achievements. If anybody does begin giving me a lesson on the history of football where the club that I follow features very little in, one would still find an ardent listener in me, because ‘we love this game'. But to all those people who have followed the glory days of Arsenal and Liverpool,...

My Plea

Dear terrorist, I am a very harmless guy who works in a Company that has its HQ in the UK (not the US). I am a hindu by birth and believe me I had no control over that. Had I known what future had in store for me I would have definitely requested God to send me to a ‘religionless’ home. If you are wondering what I mean by that, then it means I would have requested God to have me born as a tribal in a remote place in Amazon or somewhere in Greenland. Trust me I still have your good interests in my mind. I won’t be a part of any prospering country or a citizen of the country owing much to its history and diversity exercises some amount of tolerance to these activities. Since the innocence in my birth is settled, I would like to clarify another very important aspect. I admire your religion very much. I totally believe in all that is said in the Quran and am ready to agree that it is the greatest religion ever. I am not sure you want people converted into that religion. Because when you...

Where's the money, honey?

Not much has been going in India apart from demonetization recently. Suddenly people are intrinsically rich but actually poor. The amount of money in circulation has gone down significantly and the bank coffers have gone up by INR 5.5 lakh crores. This was primarily touted as an attack on black money but now it has slowly started disrupting everyday lives of people. http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/RNdxOHenVluYuLx4iCw4JO/Modis-new-strike-against-black-money-backfires.html  This gives an idea of the people affected the worst. They have produce which is not durable and they don’t have people to sell their produce to. People do not have money in hand to buy vegetables and one cannot swipe at a local market. The salaried class who are primarily reliant organized trade for their daily consumption are facing the least disruption. The majority are reeling under cashlessness. Some of the most affected people are 1.        Vegetable vendors in local mark...
