SILENT TEAR

Every time a tear drop falls,
I tell myself never again will it happen.
I hug myself and promise the universe,
no matter what I will not hurt again.
But love makes it so hard for me to hold back all
the memories & emotions that flow from my eyes.
I keep quiet, listening to my heartbeat slowly.
I feel the pain in my chest, but a smile covers my face!

How ironic life can get? But we still believe in it.
One door closes, a window opens, they say.
But in a room with no windows,
do we breath, do we stay alive or do we die?

I don't deserve this love-less state of mind!
Patiently, I waited all these years,
believing you would come to me,
in a dream, like a dream, like a ray of sunshine through the dark night!
I smile at the sight of you, a tune
struck a cord in my heart, and I begin to dance!

Dancing my pain away? No, a welcome dance.
A dance to fresh pain, for a new tear drop on my cold cheek.
I stand still now, I suddenly realize
that my heart is under an attack.
Open, my heart is left with nothing.
Cause I shared all the love I had,
but what I got back was not enough to fill it!

What do I now? Sit back relax.
If life is going to be like this, enjoy the ride.
Cry a little, laugh a lot!
Pain is a part of me now, but I don't want to shed another tear.
Is the universe to blame? Maybe my heart cant stop loving!
Good, bad, evil are but phases of our life.
It doesn't matter which path we choose, as love is always a part!

I choose, though, to be invisible now,
a death with no face, so that I can
shed that one silent tear,
before I can finally go on!

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

It Happens Only Once?

I have touched love, tasted it, felt it, sensed it, and felt alive with it! Love has done the same to me too. Its funny, I have had many people ask me, what is Love? How do you know that it is Love? I wish I could tell them, there is nothing else, but Love! But then I know they would look at me with a weird look in their eyes which says, I have heard many stupid answers before, but this is an original. Disappointed, I resign and explain, like I would to a child, what love feels like. India is a place, dominated by a crazy culture called 'Bollywood'. Its amazing to see the impact it has on one and all. If anyone should ask me, what rules India, I would like the answer to be Bollywood. Life, including politics, takes inspiration from this Industry. Then why shouldn't Love? Imagine the dreamy eyed Shahrukh Khan on a basketball field, looking love struck and telling the kid, Pyaar sirf ek baar hota hai. The impact this dialogue had on the audience was phenomenal! I can't se...

WHO DUN IT??

Long time ago when man lived in caves, they often wondered if it was by magic that the voice echoed in the darkness of the cold barren caves. Evolution, as the scientists say, started in these dark barren caves, where cave men evolved to become the more civilized human race. But still the mystery continued. The mystery of sound! Man continued to be bewildered by Nature. And this kept him busy. He tried to figure out ways to improve his life. Life as we know it today, owes its gratitude to many known and unknown faces. If it were not for people like James Clerk Maxwell or for Heinrich Hertz we would have never stopped being awe struck by sound. Ever since they figured out electromagnetic waves the world took another leap at technology. It was a small step for these scientists and a huge leap for Radio. Wireless communications helped bond boundaries and bring people closer. But confusion begins every time a teacher asks her student, “Who invented Radio?” The answer never surprises anybod...
