Lovers


Let's go to the fields
Hand in hand
And lay on the green bushes
Then I would tell you strangest things- of people with a dream-head
Who talks bizarre language,
Of people with eyeballs pulled out by crying,
Of couples turned into statues and more.
Before being cloyed by the tequila sunrise,
Let's make love like lovers.
And when the ecstasy fades away,
Let's make some pies and
Sing a love song.
Dressed like a dead princess, you would take me to your castle,
Of crumbling walls and depleting alleys,
Where I can listen to the songs from the rusted piano.
When I pretend to go, you can
Keep me by your side by reading out tales from your book of love,
When only the scent of the old book would keep me there.
Guided by the white horse we may return to the fields,
Where the stories of our blind love remains unchanged.
When horror chases the horse,
It leaves us and seeks shelter in the evening's old stable.
Before being lured by your next love song,
I would ran away to pluck the violet lilies,
To tuck them in your pockets.
Seeing the mistletoe above, you would come to kiss me,
When lavenders giggle and
hide behind last sun rays,
I would whisper you a secret and walk away from you,
Gifting you a bunch of butterfly weeds,
And leaving you to cultivate your infinite dreams.

Tu Koi Aur Hai

The characters of Imtiaz Ali are always difficult to decipher and can only be done if the actors do complete justice to it. And two such celebrated characters of Imtiaz Ali are Ved and Tara of Tamasha . Meeting Ved in Corsica was accidental to Tara. Both of them came there to be alone and enjoy some time away from their busy life. But what destiny had for them was different. But for Tara, what happened in Corsica didn't just stay at Corsica. What attracted Tara towards Ved was his coolness and the quirkiness which ultimately made her fall in love with him and break up with her boyfriend. She continued to pamper the memories at Corsica even without knowing Ved or his name. But meeting Ved which she longed for four years and being his girlfriend was not what Tara wanted. Tara fell in love with the Ved whom she met at Corsica not the Ved at Delhi. But it was all difficult for the Ved who is actually battling bipolar disorder to accept his reality. Ved wanted to live the life that he d...

Twenty-Five

They say twenty-five matters,  25 is the age where you are asked to be responsible,  You are supposed to bring home food,  It's an age where your uterus has to be fukcing good,  It is an age where you have to be fair And good as a nymph,  It is when your wallet should have a five-figure sum.  They say at twenty-five,  You will be twenty-five times purer than ever,  To breed and nurture,  No dear not your dreams, but your children's.  But that's not it.  I SAY THAT IS NOT IT.  It is an age where you realize,  You no longer have the desire to live the monotonous life,  You no longer feel alive at a celebration,  You find yourself as the perfect company,  You don't care if you die today or tomorrow,  You want to puke at people who restrict you from doing things.  You no longer want to be surrounded by people,  And your skills are your only saviours.  At 25, you no longer care if people love ...

We Are All Worth Two Days of Mourning

I once met me who stopped by just to narrate a dream, "After the two days of mourning, my friend just went to work, accepting that I won't be at there  today or the coming days. On her way she stood at the cafe, staring at the picture on the glass window, of coffee being spilled out of the cup  in the weirdest way, I saw her smiling, probably of the joke that I made of the picture. But she kept going, smiling at people that we were familiar  with on the way. She had the sympathetic conversation with the ice cream seller at the crossroad,  And their words carried my name  as the most important syllable. She did this for two days, and just let her life going with some occasional mentioning of my name  like a guest role. So did my maid,cat,and books. Their new caretakers sympathised  for being abandoned unexpectedly and got thrilled at their new ownership. My picture was framed and kept  at the most attractive corner of the house, they looked at me a...
