Office Boredom!

My creations @ the office... Yeah.. there are times when I get bored!! And writing comes to my rescue.. :)

Single

I smile shamelessly everyday

Flirt with the cute guy on my way

The Happy Feeling comes back to me

I feel lively, light and free

No longer am I answerable

What ended yesterday was quite a fable

Its time for new beginnings today

Time to let your hair down and play

More girl time is always recommended

Guys in the bar, don’t be offended ;)

Time to let go, get ready to mingle

Absolutely Happy that I am Single!

  Mumbai 

Every Morning, a new energy is found

Money in pockets but feet on the ground

The value of time is more than money

Little time left for vacation or love honey

Life simply ceases to stop here

Weekend at Toto’s, unwind with a beer

Peace and tranquility at Land’s End

Crowded trains, little margin to mend

On Tuesdays Siddhivinayak calls religiously

The city finds solace on a basis weekly

Don’t have a car yet, no space to park

The dogs on the street don’t bite, only bark

So many people that you are never alone

For some self time, Marine Drive is the zone

Come monsoon, we revisit the romance

They flood each year w/o missing a chance

The war of the town and the suburbs goes on

But on a crisis day together we belong

The Taj reminds me of our resilience

Mumbai lives on, killing the silence..

Cheers to Marsh... :)

The Hero

Tomorrow, the ICC Cricket World Cup comes to a close. It’s a fairly limited sport in terms of the number of nations that play test cricket. Barely any following if compared to football. But in those 10 nations and for the several followers across the world, there is one man, who has been there and done that. One man, in front of whom time stands still. 20 years and more, his peak never seems high enough.

He has several records to his name. There may be very few things he has not achieved as a batsman. 200 runs in a one day international match. His technique is simply flawless. Old school cricket lovers love him for his discipline and technical perfection. Those born in the era of ODIs and T20s love him for his shots and timing and plain brilliance on the field. Till he is there on the pitch, no opposing team can rest their guard down. His mere presence simply takes the pressure of the other 10 players of the Indian cricket team!

But there is more to him than that. Much more. The reasons as to why he is the national Hero of India are innumerable and countless. More than anything else, he is a role model. He is the person, mothers want their sons to grow up to be. Everyone simply RESPECTS him. Even when match fixing scandal rocked the cricket world, there was no blot on him. When he says that the Harbhajan did not say something derogatory, ICC and the world took him for his word. His standards of ethics are a benchmark. 

He carries the hope of more than a billion people. He has been doing that for consistently more than 20 years. He is the reflection of the emerging economy that india is. Strong, resilient and confident. He doesn’t live a flamboyant lifestyle. He is the Great Indian Middle Class Dream. Humble roots and great achievements. That is the reason why people love him. Because he is one single man, who embodies all of this and who is still there.

And this is his last world cup. We know he wants to win it. His emotions may not show that, but we know it. The World Cup is the biggest and the missing trophy on his mantelpiece. His several team mates have grown up watching his game. They want to win it for him. More than a billion prayers will be there for him. And maybe it was destined that he wins it in his home. Mumbai will explode when its favorite son will give this nation the joy. The 100^th century is nothing in comparison to winning it and winning it at home. Please team India, Lets Do it this time. The guy deserves this. Ohh wait… We refer to him as ‘God’. But he is best known as…

Sachin Tendulkar.

To us and others :)

This is one of the poems i had written some time back. Its for all those who think that our generation is irresponsible, immature and 'don't-give-a-damn-about-right-or-wrong' generation!! this is something that a lot of our generation believes in:

We live today in a sense of regret
We are all just his subjects

Thoughts of death stay and dwell
A few more sins and we're going to hell

Humanity survives on his name
Being answerable to him leaves me with shame

But we all know that he's our creation
All of him and his divine intervention

So lets work hard, party harder
Who knows if we'll live happily ever after

But if you want to avoid the guilt of a sin
Be answerable to yourself deep within...


We believe in God, maybe not so much in religion...
We believe in conscience, maybe not so much in ethics...
We believe in family, maybe not so much in joint-super large-families...
We believe in ourselves, maybe not so much in fate...
