the pool of ecstasy

Picture Courtesy: Diba Raza

i sat on a bench
watching the pool - so calm
every ripple that sobered
was a soothing balm

my mind would follow shamelessly
the pattern of the pool
a pebble of thoughts would stir it
and break all stable rules

and then i would dive
into the wondrous depths of love
desire and passion would conflate
and float demurely above

that's when she walked
an artist's muse i'd say
fringes playing with her eyes
- a twisting, turning, foray

a character from my dream
whom someday i'd pen to life
walked along and made a tiny ripple
that created a havoc inside

she was an artist too
with a lens and an observing eye
cynosure, my muse
she's my ineffable alibi

PS: Sometimes you find your muse, and you know this is IT!

Repartee

Again deviating from routine, here's a very interesting counter strike to the poem in the previous post, by the one and only Maloo ;)

She strikes once in a blue moon, but when she does, it's giggles and smiles all the way! :D

Without much ado, let me post here her composition..

***

Itna accha likhkar
Kehte ho situational composition,
Kalam tumhari chalti rahi
Bina kissi preassure ke aur naahi koi tension.

Bill hi bharwana tha
Toh leleti card number,
Kya zaroorat thi usse dene ki
Aapne winter, rains and summer.

Akele hi gunguna leti
Kuch lafz kuch jazbaat,
Ab teri hi hogayi hai
Dono shey aur maat.

Tasveer khudhi ki dekhti
Naa deti aaina chupa,
Kyun aur ek ko tune

Aapne pyaar mein liya fasa..!

Flipping back the pages!

I am not very great at poetry, but I think I am sometimes really good with rhymes :P I have a lot of unpublished limericks, a few in Hindi and mostly in English. I feel a little embarrassed to post the Hindi ones, because I really wanna be very good at Hindi and I am not. I fair OK at English, so I prefer it over any other language. Nonetheless, today, I'll break the routine, and post this one! :D 

This was a situational composition :P

Fasa Liya ;)

Ek taraf tujhe bitha kar
duniya ko dikha diiya
Aur ek ko yaaron, maine
apne pyaar me fasa liyaa
 
Shakal par likha hai saaf
Afsana mere dil ka
Ab main akele nahi bharungi
poora hissa mere bill ka
 
tujhe bhi shamil kar saath me
Maine raazdaar bana diyaa
Aur ek ko yaaron maine
apne pyaar me fasa liyaa
 
Soya karte the tanha
Khauf si lagti thi raat
Akele hi gunguna liya karte the
kuch lafz kuch jazbaat
 
Ab fone pe ghazale suna kar
Tujhe kayi baar rula diyaa
Aur ek ko yaaron maine
apne pyaar me fasa liyaa
 
Tasveer khud hi ki dekhte the
karte the aaine ka deedar
Tujhe dekha toh laga
bas sar aakhon pe baithe sarkaar
 
Sote the khaak,
ab tumko bhi jaga diyaa
Aur ek yaaron maine
apne pyaar me fasa liyaa!!

Pet-ty tales!

It's been over a week since I posted here. Well, Tuesdays are Tangy, especially if one has been dying to come to work. Yep, that's me! I have a place to come to, where I can do what I like, and i get paid for it. Yeah, I am talking about blogging! Well, I do some technical stuff too in between!

I know everyone loves pets. Ok, some don't. But the idea of having a pet is really wonderful and it appeals so much, when we see people carrying ugly pugs and pretty Pomeranian to places and getting those envious stares, they love it ! 

But do you know, knowingly or unknowingly we all have a pet or pets. In the form of a person. Yeah, it's not an animal, it's a person and it is called by various names, like GF, BF, SF, FF etc. You can call them anything you want. But the fact it, most of us, knowingly and unknowingly have these pets! 

What do pets do? The human ones!

1. They bark when they see a stranger entering your life. They don't tolerate the sight of a new person and they get all protective about you.

2. If they see that the stranger is coming anyway, and you are trying to shoo your puppy and asking them to sniff the new person and make friends with them, they do it.They sniff and sniff and sniff until they become faithful to your friends too. 

3. But the stranger never forgets that the doggy barked once. Once bitten twice shy ;) So the relationship always remains tensed. The doggy scares the new friend always!

4. The pets are lickers. They lick you. All over. You feel you are being pampered and the doggy loves you, but no, the human pets, lick the money away, they lick the happiness away, they lick your sanity away. You survive in a dungeon with that doggy alone. And yeah, that Dog is apparently your best friend :D 
That's how it goes by the definition.

5. The Dogs have good qualities too. Oh, wait, am I talking about Dogs alone! No, this post is about pets. Ok, pets! They have good qualities too. Like the cat. They are intelligent and very very shrewd. With that innocent sweet face, they make you fall for them, and then they don't remain faithful and slide away when they feel like it. Sometimes they are cursed too. Poor cats!

6. Some have lizards, snakes, for pets too! Strange!

So, human pets are nothing less than the real ones, but there is one difference between humans and animals. Humans have intentions, pets don't! So, it's easier to love pets, than humans!

That reminds me, did I mention I am getting two new pets too! No no, not humans! :D But they'll have human names! Some humans need mockery!

I'll put a picture real soon.. I already call them Llyod and Rick! :) 

PS: And ya... That explains the status on FB :P 
I love that song from PPNH - Tere Doggy ne mujhpe Bhokne ka nai! ;) ;)

The Menace is in the Town!

A Virtual Welcome


My cousins and my nieces are in my hometown, Nagpur, and I am busy fulfilling my Karma in Bangalore! I wish I could be home and have fun with the kids. 

Nitya, my older niece, made a nice card for me and my sister (We are called Minnie and Bittoo). I was overwhelmed. I love when someone gives me cards, and more so when some one puts a picture of me amidst lovely flowers which have different colored petals, located in a nice park! Wooh! 

That is just so amazing and apt! My picture, right there below "Minnie" with just one eye? Well, you know what the irony is, I have an eye infection today, and am wearing my big glasses, I think it is conjunctivitis, because it is very bad and swollen and looks like the one in the picture my little baby made! :)

To think of it, I really wonder, do the kids of this generation have such awesome instincts? :)

Look at the outline of the card! Could it be more creative? I see so much love in this card! And I wish I could hug the little tricksters and have a jolly good time! But alas! Duty calls :(

My B(est) B(ud)!


And you will stand testimony
to my success and failures
with me, you shall be buried
in the grave
don't buzz then..
Go off on battery like you always do
people ping and call,
on numbers of the dead.
but be faithful,
and don't give hopes
to many who wanted to say last few things to me.
be sincere.
because I would be
until I die!
After that too!
I love you, my BB!
