Mumbai meri jaan

Now this one was long due and dedicated to the city of Mumbai... Fought hard with loads of laziness and finally won :)


At times it takes a few dozen bullets
To rip a city brutally apart
But piece together the bits of brotherhood
And fill love back into the heart

At times it takes a spattering of blood
To look beyond daily meaningless squabble
When terror comes riding on waves of fanaticism
And grandeur gets reduced to a pile of rubble

At times it takes a few loud booms
For us to stand united in our quest
When a few masked faces change our lives
And make the difference between life and death

At times it takes a few hundred deaths
For our protectors to wake from sleep
For us, to become responsible citizens
To make a move and not just weep

At times it takes a few fateful seconds
To fill our minds with shame and fury
Yet, in this pain and anguish we know
Together we can , and will rise back to glory

Now this one ain't written by me :-)

When the going gets tough, it's simple words like these that keep u going..Thanks so much!! :-)

Coz you are the best...
Struggling wid the rest
Don't worry the times will change
You just need to strike ur range...
Let others know wat u r made up of -
Is it diamond as hard as it cud be
Or is it gold ?
Tell this endless sky what ur altitude is
Tell her to stretch as far as she cud
So you can go and touch her,
It is these times that true colors are reflected
It is only the weak who are aimlessly deflected.
Ur day is near n defeat too far
And that is bcoz u HAVE aimed for the stars

Games...

Who said we don't play those childhood games in adult life??

I seek and You hide...
Something moves in the shadows
And something comes to the light
Then just when I think I found it
Turns out it was a stray cat
So I go back to the prowl
Seeking what remains unfound
Before the hunter becomes the hunted...


I catch and You run ...
So many goals and different paths
Seeking the shortest is easy
I pursue the target without a blink
But the picture still remains hazy
Was this just an illusion, I think
I choose a new target and start afresh
So what if the path is a little longer?


Two of Us, and one prize...
You never know when its your turn
I strategize, but You are quicker
I snatch the prize thinking that its done
A moment's delay and it's all gone
But never give up, that's what they say
You just enjoy your catch today
Who knows, tomorrow it'll be my day..
