The Dark Side of the Moon

The dark side of the moon,

so forlone and cold.

Not a ray of light on its surface,

not a hope of warmth in sight.

So is the heart I carry,

a sinners sin, a moments weakness.

The touch of pride,

the lust that does not die.

Like the dark side of the moon

I carry the shadow of my past.

Honor and justice are prime,

but I'll have to pay for my crime.

I have betrayed hope, and drowned love.

There is no way out, that I know of.

I wait around the dark side of the moon,

till there is no air in my lungs.

This side is mine and mine alone.

No one knows for how long now, I've kept this secret alive.

But in the dark side of the moon, no one really knows,

about the miseries the human body holds.

Airless, breathless I stand in the darkness.

Unreal and numb to the world.

My heart is heavy from the whispers of the past.

How long now, will I with hold?

I smile at people as the walk by me,

but they dont know that my life is a lie.

They cant see the darkness I am standing in,

nor can the sense my fear.

Try as much as I can,

I cannot move into the light.

There is no saving me now, from my doom,

nor from the dark side of the moon.

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...
