You Only Live Once!

Or may be you come back six more times as the books say, but you don't get to bring along any memories from your previous births.Given that, 'you only live once' holds good to me. You just have one chance to fulfill yours dreams.But then there are compromises to be made. Some of them you never understand or accept. You just succumb to them. You do sacrifices. You let others have their way. You have responsibilities. You have people to look after.

Amidst all this, sometimes you feel lost. You feel that your dreams are drifting away from you.
Those mighty winds of misfortune keep on pushing them away.You try your best to reach them and grab them with your fist only to find yourself ambushed by those shackles. You feel helpless as you are vulnerable to them. You loose track of your dreams and you let those mighty winds beat you over and over again. They mock you like uprooting a weak sapling.

So what if all the wishes in your bucket list don't seem to take shape. That does not imply that you cry your ass-off and forget about the ones which are still alive. You got to bring yourself up again. You have to walk that extra mile.People complain about not achieving things.Even I did once to a friend.His simple words taught me a lot.All he said was,'You are still alive!".

All you need to do is to believe. That your dream is your destiny. That these road-blocks you can overcome.That you have what it takes. And even if some might not understand your actions, they surely will.Someday.But you have to remember this one thing, you only live once. Once you realize this, there won't be any questions or shadows of uncertainty. You will know what to do, where to proceed. You will makes those sacrifices. You will handle those responsibilities. You will look after those people. And you will fulfill your dreams.

Chocolates again

Chocolates again!
I wondered,
sure she loves them but,
Chocolates again ?

Want to bring her the stars,
and the moon.
The blue sky and the lagoon.
Want to take her to an Island,
full of love and balloons,
shaped liked a heart and maroon.

Want to hold her hands,
amidst this first rain,
and dance to it's tune.
Want to loose myself to her,
I already have, already had.

Want to tell her she means,
the world to me.
Her dreams, her desires.
lay the path for me.
O lord, pass her sorrows to me,
my joys to her,
keep her smile alive,forever.


But I know what she seeks,
It's a promise indeed.
And with one hand on the Bible,
I give her, her need.

Never will my smile,
play hide and seek.
It'll stick to my face,
and forever it will be!
Never will my hand,
let go off hers.
Eternal would be,
her bonding with me!
Never you'll see a day,
when i hadn't loved you more.
Never will you see.Never will you see.

But fate it seems,
kicks me when i am down.
With such impact, such magnitude,
that my knees go blank.
Still I'll keep my word,
keep my promise good.
If ever you fall, i'll hold you tight.
ever you stop,guide you right,
ever you cry,make you smile,
and ever you call, i'll run thousand miles.

Did she like the gift?
I wondered,
Or should it have been,
like the way it has been,
Chocolates again?

Happy Birthday Aku!

Dev D

Feel like throwing up,
drinking to the last drop,
of that magical water.
They say it'll take away my pain.
i doubt though.
Look at the way it shines,
and it calls to me.
Over and over again.
Don't know, how long I can resist?
This very temptation.

Feel like running away,
far from this crowd.
from these questions,
and these sad answers,
and the truth that,
there is only one love.
Can't believe it's true.
damn stars and damn astrology.

Feel like crying,
to my last breath,
crying out loud, O Lord,
why did you do this?
It'll break me inside out.

Feel like giving up,
going to the top of that,
black dark lonely hill.
And then,
embracing the blue sky,
spreading my wings, like a free kite!

Feel like Dev D!

The way of life

It's so difficult,
to let it go.
To accept what is true,
and to bear that pain,
of separation.

Sure they made it clear,
but the heart, our foolish heart,
never accepted.
And how could it?
That way, we had hope,
we had dreams, we had reasons,
to smile.

But that's the way of life,
at least you get to hold on,
to those memories.
We'll keep him alive,
in our hearts.

She was there with me,
but needed her by my side.
She talked to me,
but craved her beautiful eyes.

But that's the way of life,
just the way of life!
