What makes you ...

What makes you love me so much ?

Do you feel so much I deserve ?

No matter what, I’m thankful for it :)

This is something, I truely shall preserve

What makes you care for me so much ?

That without you, I feel so lost

It makes me realise how wonderful you are

And I cant lose you at any cost

What makes you keep me so happy?

That life seems so beautiful when I’m with you

You love me in such a special way,

I see your eyes n I can feel its true

What makes you think about me so much?

That you always want me by your side

So do I, today n forever,

This is onething I shall always abide

What makes you want me so much?

That I feel so lucky to be the one

I know that you are the one for me,

And with you my life is perfectly done :)

An Ode to the Clock

I stare at her for hours

She stares right back at me

With her lies the power

To set my body free

She moves so slow it hurts

But moves so fast at noon

It’s with her hands she flirts

Her face attracts the room

She hangs just down the hall

It’s there she lets us know

And tells us one and all

Just when it’s time to go

That’s why I love and hate

The way she does deceive

She always makes me wait

For when it’s time to leave

Life in an cubicle

A maze of plastic walls

We click and we type

And we answer phone calls

Neon lights our suns

We fill out reports

And dream of being done

A fort we must defend

We sit and we wait

For our faxes to send

Wheeled chairs our steeds

We draft and we print

Until our eyes bleed

All this is true

Life in a cubicle

For me and for you

Come Back ...

When did this happen ?

What did I do?

I was so lively,

What did you turn me into ?

What have I done ?

Why do you make my heart bleed ?

Why don’t you understand ?

You’re all that I need

I see nothing,

Nor can I feel anything

I don’t know,

What you want to say

These mixed feelings,

Are killing me everyday

Why am I lonely ?

why do I cry ?

Why cant I move on ?

Why cant I try ?

You left me

With a void in my life

You could have as well

Pierced me with a knife

Hurt you are,

That I know

Comeback to me,

My love I’ll show..

You are incomplete

And so am I,

I love you

I don’t deny

Then why go through this,

Agony and pain

Please honey, now

Don’t drive me insane

You’re my true love,

My sunshine and my soul

Without you in my life

I can never be whole

Lets put our broken hearts

Together forever

We’ll stay happy and

Part we’ll never

So stop hurting yourself

And come back to me

We’ll show the world,

What true love can be ...

The Traffic Herd !!!

The heaving crawl of mechanical beasts

With drivers headed north, south, west, and east

They move along on their painted paths

Each trying to avoid the other’s wrath

While making sure there are no cops around

They attempt to gain the slightest of ground

With movements judged by the rest of the herd

Some daring, crazy, or just plain absurd

All detours are jammed. All exits a mess

Finding the fast lane is anyone’s guess

When lights come flashing, they can’t help but curse

They hope there’s no wreck, that’d make things much worse

With fingers in air and honks of the horn

With desperate swerves and patience all worn

They’re all on their way as slow as can be

It’s home that they’re headed, from work they flee :P

Freaky Friday :)

Friday is most certainly the greatest of days

The reasons it’s great are too many to say

But with that said, I’ll try to explain

Why Friday is better than a day without rain

You see on Friday, you can work with a smile

You need only work, for a little while

For the weekend is near and then you can play

Much fun to be brought by the most generous of days

And generous it is, as morning treats can attest

The cream filled donuts are definitely the best

But don’t dare forget, the bagels are good too

If there’s none in your office, that’s too bad for you

Friday isn’t all treats and happy things

There is but one obstacle the day does bring

And that, my friend, is the slowing of time

But if you can bear it, you’ll do just fine

So join with me and laugh and cheer

The work week’s end is drawing near

Join with me and praise this day

I’ve said what I’ve said, and I’ve nothing more to say :)

Diwali with a Difference :)

“The Festival of Lights” is all o’er

A joyful day for minds, hearts and souls

And people throng the temples, to offer

Prayers, resolving to take better roles

Most of them are rich, clad and clean

And eat dainty food and sweets with mirth

Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen

It seems to be a Happy Day on Earth !

But are there no hearts woe-filled, very sad?

Denied of laughter and smiles for days ...

Diwali marks the Triumph of Good over Bad

So let’s lend hands in our own ways

Doing things worthwhile

Because TRUE JOY is when you make someone SMILE

And TRUE CHARITY gives joy in HEAVENLY STYLE :)

--- Dedicated to people at “The Association for The Mentally Challenged”, Bangalore

Happy Birthday To My Boss (whoz never ever bossy :) )

This day belongs to you Abhay

You're a person, whole-in-one

I'm elated to wish you health

Wealth, Joy and Fun :)

You've been celebrating for years

With decades still in store

Since friendship keeps one young; I'm sure

You're coming back for more

I never met a nicer guy

With great integrity

And when you're at work --- Well

It's quite a sight to see :)

You're a man

Who brims with energy

Understands how people work

And shows great loyalty

All looks Good, All looks nice !

Thanks for the time

Thanks for the care

May you get all

All that you gave

In folds and in multiples

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABHAY

From a new friend in the RF GANG

I hope you celebrate

Your birthday with a BANG :)

MONDAY "MOURNING"

Monday must be the most horrible days

The reasons, its horrible, are horrible to say

But with that said, I'll try to explain

Why Monday must bring us oh so much pain

You see on Monday, you work with a frown

the full work week ahead has gotten you down

The weekend had come, and has passed

And like all weekends, it just didn't last

But Monday sure lasts, it lasts so long

You keep checking your watch to see what's wrong

But against your wishes, your watch is just fine

Against your wishes you cant speed up time

So you sit, wait and pretend to work

And dream of a boss that isn't a jerk :P

But then you wake up and almost cry

You wish and wish that the day would just die

But wait, just listen, don't worry my friend

For one thing is certain, all Mondays must end

Now that it's been said, I'll say it again

More Mondays will come and more Mondays will end :)

Pretending to WORK !!!

The art of pretending is tricky indeed,

It takes planning, luck, and lots of speed

Your boss comes by so you pick up the phone,

You talk to yourself in a professional tone

A quick click required to change the screen,

So music, chats and emails remain unseen

If you must nap you do it with style,

With hands on keyboard all the while

You train yourself to wake when needed

And if nobody notices, you know you’ve succeeded

But if you’re caught you’ve got excuses to spare

You were on break, or thinking, or adjusting your chair

Work is boring, that much we can agree

And pretending to work may just set you free

So pretend to work if you think that you can,

But make sure you’ve got yourself a backup plan

Always be ready to find your way out,

Because that’s what pretending is all about

The Pain - It's Sweet Dear

What has happened today ? - I'm acting strange;

Is this the effect of yesterday ?

What miracle in me is this change ?

What happened the day before today ?

I met you - Is that responsible for all this ?

I see you in every step I walk

From my eyes, never I want you to miss

With you, supposingly all alone, I talk

I close my eyes - you are in front of me

Open them - the world is just blank you see

What have you done with your magical charm ?

For my mind no more remains calm

What was the spell that you cast on me ?

For now, this today, I'm yearning to be

My ownself, my dear, my ownself

Never have I asked anyone for such stupid help !!!

I walk for a while and think of you

I stop there till it's hours a few

I read a while, I dream of you

"I'm with you", and this, not for moments a few

What have you done ? - Oh ! My Dear !

What have you done ?

I feel you are to me very near

And I think of nothing and none

I search for you on the path I go

I follow your footprints though there are a "No"

I write about you wherever it may be

This "The Prince of my Dreams" - There is he

Your divine face is imprinted on my heart

Which strikes my veins as a powerful dart

Blood starts oozing out in a happy hue

It says - "Oh Dear ! I Love You !!!"

Indelible Memories

I don't want to sleep tonight

I'm afraid the words you spoke to me would be forgotten

I try with all my might

To hold the quail and express how I felt with you, in written

Now, I know, no language can express the words of heart

No writing, the pain at times of departure

Though life goes on, as a speeding wagon or a lazy cart

The memories without you, leave my heart punctured

I wish I could say - "I wish you were with me now"

But its too late - almost midnight - a quarter past twelve

The words you spoke, the warmth of your hug, knock me with loads of love

Deep down into a dungeon of memories and leave me there grieving

The happiness that I'm lovable - special to someone

Is going bare - it has become uncared

For the pain that you are leaving me in moments none

Has caught up and stings me sharp, whose heal is a near impossible

The memories stay forever dear

They never perish or none can wipe them from my heart

You are the numero uno and though you are leaving me alone here

I'll be waiting for your comeback, with carts of love that could fill a mart

Again I say, no language can express the words of heart

No writing, the pain at times of departure

The only fact I know is that you'll leave and me, grieve

How much I wish you come back

Talk to me the way you had always done

Look at me, love me and care for me

For here, I remain, as a weeping willow tree

Someone Deep Down Your Heart

Zillion people around to make you feel happy

But you may not be happy with all of them

Because somewhere deep in your heart, you love someone so much

That with him, you strengthen yourself as an army of zillion

But, If bad fate follows you; you may not be the same one for him

This makes your castles come crashing down

And your dreams dissipate into clouds of mist-

Never seen and Never thought .........

A Girl - In and Out

Jewels and sparkles take me there

Transport me from a world of care

To that all girls can share

Destination: What to wear ???

Dress me up, I can hardly wait

All dolled up, can't be late

Just as pretty as can be

For a night of fantasy

Dazzling swirls of sparkling light

Colors dancing in the night

Sweetest dreams are coming true

When someone asks, "May I have a dance with you ?"

Too soon its over, heading home

Standing at my door, all alone

One sweet kiss to say good night

One cozy hug, all is right

Tomorrow might be plain and ordinaire

But with my memories fond & fair :)

THANK YOU

There are no words to match my gratitude

However much like Shakespeare I might write

Above all else, you've shaped my attitude

Nurturing me with discipline and light

Knowledge was the least of what you taught

Yet, that least, at least, prepared my head :P

Out of your heart, I've learnt the things i ought

Underscoring words you never said

With due regard to my teachers, professors and mentors

Reminiscence

Entering the class with eyes at gaze

All around is but an anonymous face

A tinge of discomfort

A quail of hesitation

Before smiling into the eyes

And lending a hand shake

Millions feelings lined up in queue

Started making friends anew

Thus began a journey

From the corridors of the block

Through the professors' clock

Bunking classes for fun

If caught, would be shot with a gun :P

Heading straight to the canteen

As the clock stroke 1:15

Pigging out on noodles and samosas

Or for a change - DOSAS ;)

College life crushes, felt like floating in air

But teasing of pals, can't at all bear !!!

Then came

END SEM XAMZ !!!

Mugged all day and burnt the midnight oil

To score a 9 pt - sweat, study & toil

End sems, labs, project - What a BORE !

All this drives nuts, how about a nap & snore !!!

All of a sudden woke up to see

Gone will be the days of glee

The journey will come to an end

In a moment or two,

Didn't have any clue

But turning out good and kind

Rejoicing in the sun, shall find

Thanking these sheltered years is no vain

Where life's joys shall forever remain :)

-- Fondly cherishing college days during my B.Tech

Bidding Adieu

Saying Good Bye to parting friends
A hug, a tear - to the situation lends
An atmosphere of emotion, vulnerable and fragile
When loved ones give but a tearful smile

As I wish them well for tomorrow
My heart is full of sorrow

A rush of longing fills my being
As I see them leaving
And, then they are gone
Trying to make the things bygone
Its just Me, left
With feelings bereft

So I recall the joys we'd had
When they come again, I'll be glad

Its time I pull my strings
To get accustomed to a life
Full of diverse things

Fun and joy will come a new
What I'll be missing is "YOU"

Dedicated to all my friends

Hez the One

You are the angel in my life's tale
Who holds the love of my heart's game
With your eternal glow in time's sail
You are the first step of my ladder to fame

Your smile is the quail of my poetic touch
Though silent...........speaks so much
Mood of my every poem is you, as such
Indeed, You are the soul mate, I was in search

With patience, all sky highs
You are sweeter than the mince pies
Even when away from my eyes
Your presence around me never dies

In You
I see

A noisy stream on a beautiful dawn
Prettier than the prettiest fawn
You are the tune of my heart's celesta
It is you and only you dear.......

Your voice's binding charm
Touched me like a soothing arm
My immense love for you
Forever it lasts, not for days a few

Your heart's godly bliss
Never do I want to miss
In your love I'm caught
Please leave me not

Magic Wand that Slips

When a voice touches your depressed heart
When your dear ones are miles apart
Look around and search for what ...
It may be one that needs your thought

When you find that very "SHE"
You'll know "YES, SHE LOVES ME"
But take care - she is like sand in your hand
Hold her gently, she works like a magic wand

A thought about her arouses in you
A million feelings lined up in queue
They make you cheerful like morning dew
Though you know of her, hardly a few

Dare to say her, "I LOVE YOU"
Because she surely will say, "I DO TOO"
But take care - she is like sand in your hand
Hold her gently, she works like a magic wand

Internet

We are a lucky generation
Enjoying the fruits of revolution
In all spheres of communication
And in a market of globalization

We are a part of the world wide web
But there is not a single spider in it
Wonder and ponder what it is
Its now every body's heart throb

As you trigger the mouse
A treasure of information
And the globe flashes over us

We surf over it
Browse into the puzzles
Of an endless journey
So full of excitement
Of news, views, chats and knowledge

We all put our best
That everybody loves "Internet"
