A Different Viewpoint ..

The way one is brought up is different,
From education to work to life as a stint…
The surroundings and company matters too,
Years and years passing through…

Some people believe in a ghost,
Some succeed in raising a toast…
Some like just sharing a joke,
Some just die in a stroke…

Some people are born rich,
Some go on to be a snitch..
Some earn their way up,
Some stand begging with a cup!

Though differences are many,
Isn’t it an irony?
Everyone sees night and day,
God’s names are plenty, but everyone does pray!

Who invented colors – who said blood was red?
When wheat is processed why do we call it bread?
I tend to recollect that a professor once said…
In the long run, everything is dead!

Waters erode hard rocks to sand,
Who made borders across the unnamed land?
Divided into countries though the earth has no joint,
In the end isn’t it all just a different viewpoint?

Dream the dream...

Even before you know, you will be dead,
I just hate him, that’s what I said…
What are these thoughts in my head?
Years gone by, where has life led?

These thoughts are which one cannot avoid,
For everyone has had their bad day..
Was it because you were devoid?
Or is it because wounded memories stay?

Look at him – hate what he has become,
But suddenly a thought made me numb !
Look closer, I said – look what life made you to be,
Within him I see - a hidden part of me…

The anger that I chose has made me the same,
For anger to anger is an unending game…
Will someone hate me the way I hate him?
My lively life has suddenly gone dim… !

Alas! My eyes open with a shock,
My head was spinning as if it had hit a rock..
Thank God were the words that came my way,
I promised to myself I’ll never see that day…

Whenever I’m angry I tend to, now, think,
Do I want to be a part of that chain?
There definitely has to be an unconscious link,
Else why would the memories of my dream remain?

Nothing I have expressed is new to you,
I’m sure you can link something somewhere too..
Subdue the thought; embrace the tide,
The grass is surely greener this side…!

Silent Part of Me...

There's so much I can't say,

When I look into your eyes...

I'm worried you'll reject me,

And hurt my foolish pride!

Each day this love grows stronger,

But I could never let you know..

There is so much behind my smile,

That I could never show...

I'd hold you for a lifetime,

If only you'd let me in your heart..

I'd love you like no other,

I'd never let you part !

But you don't understand...

So I dream of us together,

Of just how it could be...

But all that I feel for you,

Will always remain a Silent Part of Me !

Ambiguity...

From the time that we are born,
The fight with the world has started,
Life around we try to adorn,
Till the time we have parted..

The people around guide our way,
They call it – ‘walk the experience’,
Some adapt some give way,
Its all a deceiving appearance...

When we do - what we do,
There is always a poky nose,
Why can’t they leave me and you,
Without their experi-dose... ** (experience dose)

I want my independence,
That’s what some like to claim,
But there is always an incidence,
When the sentence puts them to shame...

You can’t live your life alone my friend,
That’s what GOD has made us to be,
We are social animals - though one may pretend,
You can’t escape from the world you see...

Live life how you want to live,
You choose what you want to be,
Entry and exit are for none to give,
Time never stops for anybody...

The Rat Race...

I'm tired of this rat race,

people are always ready to give it in the face,

It is independent of the place,

To humanity it is just a disgrace....

Where is this world leading to?

Will these times take us through?

What do people with all this money do?

We're all a part of this - me and you...

People slog to make more money,

In return, they give up life...

Is it worth this tiresome journey?

Are you not killing yourself with a knife??

When will it end, this stupid trend?

When will people stop to pretend?

Life is straight, don't let it bend,

Cause before you know - it will be your end!!

Relax and live life at ease,

Do what you want, do what you please..

Will this craze ever freeze?

Or will it be when life won't exist to seize??

Feelings...

Sometimes you just sit and wonder,

was it wise or was it a blunder?

But dont give up, dont surrender,

Keep your spirits high deep under...

Why is it sometimes that one is very angry,

but at the same time cold and placid,

Why do you remember only when you see,

And then ponder on what you did to thee...

Sometimes you feel like talking,

And miss the person not there,

Sometimes you miss the walking,

And feel that no one's there to care...

Why do emotions run your brain,

And let out your feeling?

Why do you think and let your body drain,

For every wound is there a healing... ??

~ Joban

Music and Moods....

People say music is life,

And every moment they live with it,

Moments of past,

and moments of truth,

Moments that last,

The moments of youth...

Listening to slow progressive,

feeling an adreline rush,

Whats life got to give,

wanna speak but also wanna hush...

Sometimes people are rude,

And things go haywire,

Emotions and different moods,

Sometimes make things dire..

Live life the way you want to,

there are things which will come along,

life & music will take you through,

there is nothing right or wrong...

~ Joban

Friends...?

There are so many queries that come around,
When you write something that has emotions,
Asking who is the girl that you have found,
Why do you base yourself on such notions?

A guy and a girl can never be friends,
They have to have some feelings...
In a relationship is what it ends,
Why can’t people accept there are different things?

Sharing things with different people,
Gives a flavour to the life you hold within,
Society makes the problems duple,
Why is the friendship treated as a sin?

Thankfully people have started to think,
There is more than just a girlfriend or wife,
Things just change within a blink,
Is this what we call as life?

The beginning of an End...

Its been a long time since we've spoken,

dont know how to start,

miss you since the time i have woken,

why is it so tough to part?

Of all the times that we spent,

I miss every moment,

I wonder why we have to repent,

Love is all that i meant.

Every moment in my dreams,

I remember those hugs and kisses,

You are right besides me it seems,

Now they are all just a part of my wishes..

Did not wish to go away from you,

Every moment with you is what i miss,

I hope the rough times pass through,

Those were the times, the time's i'll cherish..

I tried to live upto you everytime,

Looking at you upset is what i cant see,

Seems like i've committed some crime,

Did not know a day like this will have to be,

I dont today and never in the future would want to part,

Sorry is all I can say to thee,

Did not know the end will be before the start,

With time passing by will you even miss me?

The time when we left Dubai to join back again in Singapore

When we landed here, we all were new,

Hoped that the times would pass us through,

But now that our leaving date is due,

It suddenly feels i'm gonna miss at least some of you..

We've had our ups and our downs,

we've had our share of frolic and frowns,

there is a mix from serious people to clowns,

we've associated many of us with nouns :)

Its very tough when I sit to write,

The mood is gloomy wanna make it light,

When we say b'bye and catch our flight,

remember singapore is awaiting our sight..

For the friends at SPJCM

17th dec - we started our journey,

we did not know what we wanted to be,

the kinda crowd that we anticipated to see,

The one MBA that would set us free....

The very first day that we met,

The expectations that we had set,

The freedom to boredom that we would get,

The beginning of the end we would never let..

New years that we did celebrate,

Some of us leaving behind our date,

4 or more eating outta one plate,

But hell yea we did enjoy mate..

The day that club 120 was born,

friends forever that we had sworn,

We started treating each other as one's own,

Feels just a few days but a years long gone..

Miss the times we spent at crispy's,

drinking juices & shakes, eating french fries with cheese,

Getting there anytime of the day we please,

Not to forget the spl. Masala chai and coffee(s)..

From buses to classes, bunking to sleep,

It surely has made our friendship go deep,

From smiles to laughters, sorrows to weep,

Our memories are forever, the memories to keep!

This was the stint in the Emirati city,

6 months only, what a pity..

This is for the friends I miss so much,

We are a family so keep in touch! :)

Emotions

There has always been this debate,

The girl asks the guy why are you late?

What happened to all the times when she made the guy wait,

The times that I speak of - are the times when they were on a date..

The girl always says - why are you insensitive,

The guy always has the opinion - my life let me live,

No matter how much the guy tries to give,

A small little thing and the girl takes ages to forgive..

Why on a date, does the guy always pay?

If he's silent - she says u never have anything to say,

I'm still waiting for that very day,

When girls understand - the guy cares in every way!

Just a start

Been a long time since i've been thinking about blogging and just sitting on that thought. Today I finally decided, its time to get onto the blogging world and start writing about all the experiences which one would want to share with people. Some would like it, some would not and some would not comment at all - just read and move on.. but whatever said and done - every comment, silent or said aloud, is most welcome!

Hope to write as and when I get time and also get some feedback on what people think about those particular instances in this journey - which is called life !

Let this be a start,

to a mysterious world of unknowns,

I'm sure there will be a part,

which relates to the life shown,

through blogs and bits,

to the uncertain future,

where brawn and wits,

know no nurture!
