night outs !

It's 5 in the morning and I'm just not sleepy...anyway, I guess I haven't really slept much in the past few days. All thanks to powani. Apparently, his dad had gone to Bangladesh for about a week and there was no one at home except of course for him and his maid (no comments).

So this guy suddenly calls up one day and asks me to join him for a night over. I had one of the most difficult time driving alone on the road at midnight. It was pouring hard and just to add to it, I lost my way. I was running out of balance and there were police check posts all along the way. I was carrying bottles of beer (for Karan ! not me...) and was almost about to get caught but somehow escaped.

Anyway, it was damned nice to see old pals from school once again - Tehlani, Attalani, Prateek, Abhay, Arpit, Sharma and gualewala - all completely absorbed in countering hookah. We all joked and laughed till about 5 in the morning, recollecting old pranks of school days...ma'am pandey and fevicol, FEPS (foreign exchange program for sex), Tehlani and P.E. (:D) and of course bitching.

I realized my life had been incomplete all this while without powani, me and our coin toss. I owe him a tonne for all these get-togethers...you rock \m/ !

Uncertainly Certain

Explosion of memories in the mind

The heart is summoned, it comes to find

Glimpses of past flash across the eyes

Paradise I see, perhaps, abyss in disguise ??

The mind feels like travelling a long distance

Wants to celebrate some future occurrence

Time cannot stop demanding I cannot pay the rent

Oh why can’t I live the future, in my present ??

As always I have been, I am uncertain

On the stage of providence, I feel like drawing the curtain

I feel vanquished all attempts in vain

Can’t I not get any room for a little bargain ?

On the canvas of love its been an inelegant stroke

The paint of blood my brush has failed to soak

Her love is expensive my heart ain’t wealthy

It can mortgage no more ; it can afford no more rivalry

Togetherness seems a distant vision, distance makes the vision blurred

Distance is what my steps can’t cover, my only vehicle is my word

It travels day and night it asks for no fuel

Always astray, it never reaches destination…oh ! intentions so cruel

Dissolve into oblivion my words in their own fumes

Helplessly I stand, my belief all consumed.
