THE ILLUSION OF THE MIND
Blissful soul, Not an illusion, Not after what we did Delusion, In time. Beating hearts, Escaping from permanence, Miles from reality but verging Perpetuation, After life. Telling lies, Striding after activity, Never peaceful and killing me Calm, Truthful hurt. Loving you, Chose to walk, Chose hurt over love anyway, Haunting, Terrifying nights. Grudging mind, Making Continue reading

DRIVE YOU HOME
Long after the Sun has set, And the waves have crashed and met, Whenever you’re in any doubt, Know that you won’t have to shout, I’ll be here to drive you home. Long after your legs have given way, I won’t care if it’s night or day, When you’re tired and feel like you’ve had Continue reading

THE DEAL
A young man set out with his parents in his Audi, Looking for a prospective bride, They had searched all town but found nobody, To fulfill their distinct needs inside. The process seemed serious and just, And it delivered all the same, The man wanted someone he could trust, His parents wanted a girl who Continue reading

EVERYBODY KNOWS
Everybody knows that the world is crumbling, But they are all attached to the string. That they are all tied to with their egos bound, But to help you, see, there’s now no one around. They all know that the earth is on fire, But no one’s willing to walk down the wire, With Continue reading

A FIRE IN THE RAIN
Running across, just like she vowed Not hunched down, nor head bowed Cursing her luck- a boon not a bane She has no clue how to break the chain But she can’t build a fire in the rain. Pulling together, he stands up straight He’s always known how not to trust fate Striding the streets, Continue reading

BEFORE I TURN TO DUST
Stand at the edge and let go Into the abyss called failure, Walk past the lake of sunshine Until you hear your voice slur. You can call me for hours then, But you know that I won’t stir. Call me deranged, call me nuts God knows I’m but not insane Forgo the ropes that bind Continue reading

DEAR DADDY
Dear daddy, Thank you for trying to bring me up in this cold world, Thank you for letting me live even though I was a girl. You always thought I would one day make you proud, Yes, mommy used to always say it out loud. I loved the time spent together with you and Mom, Continue reading

LOVE WAS ENOUGH
Ego, Our love Longing, desire Four blank emotions We are no longer one now We are just two non-entities Two worlds apart, trying to forget All those memories and all those days Seems easier said than done, but trusting fate We took a step forward to be pulled apart once again. We are now looking Continue reading

PAPER CLOUDS
Your steely heart and icy reserve Play second fiddle to your excitable nerve You always take on the world with no fear Keeps you in stead when the storm is here. They tell you every bend is a learning curve To your steely heart and icy reserve Pushing yourself for bringing out all you have Continue reading

THE MONSOONS OF 2013 AND HOW JEFFREY ARCHER CHANGED MY LIFE
I became a very big fan of AB de Villiers in 2013. The South African was keeping wickets for the Test team back then and I was doing the same for St Andrews and the Hyderabad Schoolboys. But it weren’t his graceful cover drives or brutal straight drives or the 180 degree swiveling scoop shot Continue reading
