They Say I Can’t…

They said I can’t
But they do not know it all
They may know me now
But they do not know my struggle and fall…

I have come a long way
Not to just fade away
I may be falling for sure
But struggle is the only way to get the desired shore….

When they say I can’t
They could also be right
But I am glad, they don’t think I won’t
And there lies my fight…

Whenever you meet them
Just let them know
I can and I will
Untill I won’t and I don’t…

The Web…

No time –
We say,
to online browsing
We all are prey…!

Ten minutes more –
then I won’t touch my phone..!
A promise we fail
Social media addiction has got no bail.

Who has gone where?
What photos did he share?
Hours pass by.. and there is still something new,
by the end of the day, you have no time left for you..!

New video, blogs and games,
New messages, feeds and photos for the frame.
you wake up everyday –
to ponder upon the same.

They travel so much,
They have a cool life.!
You don’t take me anywhere –
there is no excitement in my life!
Complains the wife…!!!

Look at my friend –
got a grand new phone..
whatever I have got –
is nothing more than a stone…!

We have started to compare,
only to feel our life isn’t fair.
Trying to see it all on the internet
We have stopped meeting friends
or playing cricket…

The mobile has jail us all.
An adhesive glue it is,
where we live our life – for likes
and life’s moto is to please others –
most of whom we haven’t even had a sight…

It is time we break free!
and enjoy the imperfect little joys.
To teach our kids the real meaning of life –
is much more than just being tied
to such filters and toys…!!

Pause…

A pause,
To stop and reflect
A pause,
To think and recollect

How often
Do you break?
To pause and refresh
No matter even if it is all at stake.

Not now
Not then
If not now
Then when?
Do you realize
Even pause –
Is a victim of procrastination!

Get up to stop
Give your routine a little hop
A step back is all it takes
To ponder on your strengths and work on your mistakes

You owe this to you
And a near and dear few
So delay no further
Honor the break its righteous due…

When you step back
Just let yourself know
The small hole on the surface
Is for a new sapling to grow…
Is for a new sapling to grow…

A Friend Within

Do I know you at all?
What should I address you?
What should I call?

You smile in my success
You cry for my fall
You are always with me
Whether I jump, walk or crawl….

Surrounded with friends
Unnoticed you were
I would ignore you always
After a few seconds of stare..

Now that I am locked
All accesses and communications blocked
I have got the time
And you have the light of lime….

I thought
you would not speak
For your company
I did not seek…..

You hugged me so tight
And suddenly I felt so light
You knew all my scar
And I was the one who pushed you far….

Where were you all the while?
I asked you in a fancy style…
Right here – you said
I have always lived in your heart and head…

Taken aback
I introspected myself
All I gathered
Was that you were always willing to help…

Why didn’t I speak to you before
Why didn’t I ever try to understand you more?
Searching for a friend outside
I forgot I already have one inside…

I always wanted
Someone who will know how I feel
Looking at my eyes
Someone who can tell it is real or a reel…

I cribbed and cried
But could not find at all
Right here you were
Just at a distance of closing my eyes and a quick mind’s call…

That’s when I realized
What my mom always said
When in doubt
Try asking your heart and your head…!!

All these years
I was in search of you
But you were within
And I had no clue…!

Now that I know
I will always have a friend
Who will guide me through out life
Until our journey comes to an end …!!!
