Silence...


Silence…a mystery to me…
A soothing friend…a brutal enemy…

Silence is Music…

Ever heard its sound?
Impossible I know, when you are deafened by the noises around…
It’s a symphony of sorts…both melancholy n gay…
A treasure of rich notes which inspired Beethoven and many to play…

Silence is Remembrance…

A friend helping us recall…
Our all-time highs…our greatest fall…
A smile on our lips…a drop of tear in our eyes…
For recollections both bad and good...when triggered, time flies…

Silence is Mourning…

A long deep sigh, battling a numbing pain…
A broken heart trying to mend itself and be whole again…
Losing someone dear to high heavens…
A vicious curse to an unjust Lord, ‘cause without that someone, the world is barren…

 Silence is Threat…

A vague unclear entity, both intimidating n fearful…
A sadistic demon, breaking up relations, leaving us tearful…
An indication when complete truths are withheld…
Forcing us to doubt our loved ones, when all trust is dispelled…

Silence is Contemplation…

A reflection on our deeds in the past…
A quest to find who we are...to fill a void in us which is vast…
A search for meaning, reason as to why things are such…
A pursuit which can drive insane, if obsessed with too much…

Silence is Happiness…

Refreshing like a cool spring breeze…
A lasting joy, keeping us at ease…
A sparkle in the eyes, a hint of a smile…
A retreat from the hustle n bustle of this world, a time spent worthwhile…

Silence is Salvation…

A touch of the divine…
A relief from attachments with this world, calming our mind…
When life ebbs out, in death all things become clear…
In that eternal silence, we embrace death as if a friend most dear…

Silence is Prayer…

A desire deep rooted in our heart…
A wish we want fulfilled, in exchange, anything can be taken apart…
Or just gratitude to the Lord, although it’s rare…
For whatever we have, seeking nothing, content with our share…

My heart is confused…lost…dumbfound…
What is silence after all? Something extraordinary or just the absence of sound?

The Gift...

Yet another birthday passed by, quite an eventful day… Boundless joys at the wishes that came, for those which didn't, some dismay… A multitude of emotions registered, but through to the core only one did sift… The ethereal happiness which lasts, from receiving several heart-stirring gifts… The Gift of Childhood… As the years passed by something in me was lost… Bitter experiences transformed me to a man serious than most… But all the playfulness and merriment were released from chests long locked… I saw my blithe childhood return, gazing at my sister’s gift – a puerile clock… The Gift of Understanding… People shy away from eccentricity, as now being unusual is akin to being freak… In the savage world of frenzied coders, I am one of the few with a literary streak… The rat race for certificates amuses me, for internships and projects, I never grovel… My pal is the one who understands me, and he gifted me two beautiful novels… The Gift of Encouragem...

It'll Always Be Her...

I love you, and am paying the fine, Wishing at some time, in someplace, in some world, you could be mine… Saying that I deserve better, she asks me to move on, And if I disagree, then I am a moron… I give in to her as always, and regretfully obey... After all how can I not do what she says??? I see a girl with eyes round and big, But there’s no twinkling like in my princess’, on which I dig… I see a girl with a complexion fair as snow, But there’s no purity in her like in my princess of which I know… I see a girl with a big and bright smile, But there’s no dazzle as is in my princess’ all the while… I see a girl polite and kind, But there’s no warmth which makes even her rebukes soothing to my mind… She says that I’ll find someone, that I deserve the best... She doesn't understand... It’ll always be she, my princess...my hummingbird... Whom I look for in every girl in my quest…

Divide...And Destroy (Tell Me Your Sins...Part-III)

The brouhaha from the ‘Lovebird’ affair took its own leisurely time to quiet down. And, finally things were peaceful again in college. But he was not. His dark urges having been fed, greedily asked for more. Our lone wolf strained his ears in the morning for baying of sheep and at night sat combing through the multitude of confessions for some signs of prey. It was not long before his wishes were granted and he picked up a scent. Election time – campaigns, speeches and promises; mudslinging, back alley brawling and backstabbing – a golden time indeed. The chaos which preceded a vote used to be good enough for him but this time it wasn't to be. For the first time in university history, the boys had rallied behind a single candidate. Though marginal protests existed, there wasn't a shred of doubt in anyone’s mind as to who the Student Council Head would be – Naren. And the dream team which made this possible – Naren, the affable leader, Adrivit, the key strategist, Aryan, t...
