When and Now!

When I was young, I had 3 friends with whom I roamed around in the school
When I was home, I played with my sisters and neighbours kids.
When I was doing nothing, my mom was present to shoo me to go “do something”
When I did something, my dad laughed at me being very “mechanic”
When I was writing exams, I couldn’t remember the answers (even otherwise)
When the results were to come, I cried the nights dreaming I would “fail”

Now that I am old (enough), I have 450 friends on Facebook and 25 following me on Instagram.
Now that I can share what I do and feel, I get 15 likes on an average
Now that I am home, it doesn’t feel like.
Now when I am doing something, I feel I don’t have to.
Now when I am doing nothing, I have my phone flipping with pages
Now that I have someone, I feel alone

Now that I am alone, I still feel alone.

Shut up!

I started writing a poem when i began then, i thought it doesnt make sense. I was frustrated and started wrting a para. Constant thoughts, about what i ask myself! Of situations I do not have a hold on. There is nothing i can do but i keep thinking of all the non-sense situations - EXPECTATIONS, this is the mother of all thoughts. I ask myself to keep the thinking shutter down because no matter what i think, i am still in the situation where my head has gone beyond the capacity to think and started writing. Wouldnt it have been simple if you could say anything, do anything? no one to convince? no one to judge you? Life would have been wonderful but we are at a big "NO" for an answer. Now, I am getting back to what i was not thinking. Adieu.

That one photo

When you know the life is cruel at least in your mind, you shuffle through your books, only to find the one photo that makes you want to go back in time. If there were a time machine, you would go back at least a trillion times so you can enjoy every second more. Someday, when you are happy, you still shuffle through your books and still find that one photo which was the happiest. We all have that one photo and that one day when we want to go back in time and feel better for the happy times we have had, the friends we shared, the moments we want to relive. You would, have a happy moment again, someday, you will pick that photo up when you have a cruel, sad or even a happy day and feel better about your life so you can create more memories! Cheers!

Choices

There are many circumstances in life. Some you get to choose and, some choose you. When you have a chance to choose, you make a clear, up down decision but what happens if the decision that you made was not as good as your choices that life had made plans of? I chose something in life... I let it be immaterial, as long as it goes well everything is. The moment there is a friction, things start to tumble down to plain sand. Why? Many times, I presume mankind cannot make a hundred percent decision. I on the other hand consider myself a fifty percent chance. Give or take am always at a fifty percent that things will not work out or rather will. This I learn from some in life who have made me wait, until they are satisfied with the period, until they are safe from their decision. While I wait like a piece of potato that is to be washed and cleaned and ready to be cooked, like it can be any moment now. And after the wait whatever the time period is.. I have started questioning a...
