Treason : Taken from Paulo Coelho's 30 sec's story on his blog... must read.

Walking down the street, the prophet asked: “aren’t we all children of the same Eternal Father?”
The multitude agreed. And the prophet went on: “and if that is so, why do we betray our brother?”

A boy who was watching asked his father: “what does betray mean?”
“It means to trick your companion in order to gain a certain advantage.”
“And why do we betray our companion?” insisted the boy.
“Because in the past somebody began all that. Ever since then, nobody knows how to stop the wheel. We are always betraying or being betrayed.”
“Then I won’t betray anyone,” said the boy.

And so he did. He grew up and suffered a lot during his life, but kept his promise.
His children suffered less and endured fewer hardships.
His grandchildren did not suffer at all.

I just wish if everybody learns from this.. this world will be a much better place.

I like watching you fall asleep

" A thing of beauty is a joy for ever" : Keats

Very well said by John Keats. Beauty can be such an inspiration. And that is what my committed friends quote for their rescue when their girl-friends find them mooning over a pretty face. lolz...
To beauty itself :-

I like watching you fall asleep,
To see your drowsy lids giving way to slumber,
A dream getting ready to take a leap,
But you resisting it to see me mumble,
To myself, "Oh!! God, She is so beautiful!!",
Slowly then you close your eyes,
Saying,"I am not sleepy,just having a good look at the inside of my eyes",

Its 3'o in the morning,
And you are fast asleep,
Hair is all messed up,
And your lips are tulips,
The REM sleep takes over you,
As you delve into your dreams like a mermaid,
And the eyeballs start moving in saccades,
I bring my eyes closer to yours,
To decipher the dream moving through your eyes,
But all I can feel is your breath and my sighs,
They get synchronous in rhythm,
And a peck on your lips makes me numb.

You smile in your sleep,
As if it touched your soul,
Keeping your head on my chest,
You tell me " Darling!! Am so cold "

EXPECTATION


Expectations,
Love thou bring forth,
Smiles if true,
Else they never knew,
What a guessing game,
Everyone's a lame,
Easy if you,
Stop expecting and do your due,
Champ you will become,
Coz everybody wants "some",
Its a centile what you expected at some stage,
A patient hearing of your rage,
Never will they know,
But slowly it will grow,
Happiness enqueued,
Reason - You know, its "YOU".

TRUST

Trust,
Love thou break not,
Once a diamond becomes coal,
Only to ablaze the soul,
Ignited, extinguished, ignited again,
Like simultaneous wind and rain,
Better to bury it inside the earth,
Time may metamorphose it into "something" worth.

COMMITMENT

Commitment,
Love thou fear not,
Fear dilutes this elixir pure,
You might not again be this sure,
Instincts and impulses are often right,
Shovel the clouds aghast, covering this starry night,
Unexpressed, unsaid,
Like a zombie you live half dead,
Dumb and awestruck being inconsiderate,
They may leave you only with memories to regret,
Love is a Tsunami,Let it sweep you off your feet,
Like a Rum bottle, when drunk neat,
Get toxic, get diseased,
You just don't know when this high tide recedes,
Coz love being blind is also deaf, answers no calls,
A blue whale in Pacific,
Gets reduced to a goldfish in a glass bowl.

My School Days : A tribute to my Alma Mater ... "Happy Teachers Day" all.

Remember the first day of our school,
New uniform, water-bottle, tiffin - it was all so cool,
But deep inside there was something that wasn't funny,
"Mumma Mumma " - we cried with our noses running,

With fear of the unknown, waved our mothers bye bye at the gate,
To meet a new one in the class asking us kindly to stop crying, our first mate,
She was, I would say, Mother Teresa in a long skirt,
I still remember you Mrs Dicona as my class teacher, first.

Twinkle twinkle little star,
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Those li'l blocks, those small cars,
That red building, the "Bahadur" who knew us all.
That train to the toilet,
Just before the lunch,
Despite that we dared to wet,
What a naughty bunch !! :-)

We grew and we can feel it grow with us,
The playground got better and bigger was our bus,
We passed classes in hop, skip and jump,
Great was the music when we played the thump.
Hanging out in secluded places alone or in gangs,
Caught during the gang-wars by principal exchanging slangs,
Standing in front of the office in sun,
Whispering - "Dude!! 'Somebody' gonna hit us really hard, better run."

Illegal Diwali celebrations in toilets by 'incense-sticks timed bombardments',
Leaving the poor door injured and as as frail as a parchment,
Fete, exhibitions, Teacher's day, Sports day Heats,
Scared the hell out of some - Parents' & Teacher's meet.

Despite all the fun and the pranks,
Exams were the onething we were afraid of, to be frank,
"She will be impressed if I get the first rank",
Lost in her thoughts all nights and then leaving the paper blank,
Getting over the first crush after the results,
Pledging and saying to yourself -"XII Boards this year, are you nuts ?"

Finally, the day came, it was our "Farewell",
"Adieu!!" our Alma-Mater said, and we were out of the shell,
With roses topped with tear drops as dew,
We were about to enter the world which was entirely new.
Blessings, wishes, teachings and memories,
Were all we could carry with us, leaving behind our "Angels" and the "Fairies".
Teachers- "We never got that love again which we got from you,
When the world comes hard on us , its your teachings and blessings that get us through,
Our teachers who laid our foundations and paved our lanes,
Lets prove them right that we are "unshakeable" and ready to face the Hurricanes.

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY TO ALL THE TEACHERS OF MY SCHOOL LIFE.

Few lines for my mentor Tr. Sangeeta :-

You are one human being overflowing with love,
The person who held us all just like a hub,
Mother of "The Pride(XIIth -B)" who trained all the cubs,
During the dark days your words were the light bulb,

Many consider you special and I am just one of those,
Rare, I would say, as thorns never dared to grow on this rose,
You believed in us so much even when we doubted that we may miss by "This close",
Ma'm your committment and hard-work shows,
How you became "The best" , everyone knows.

Happy Teachers Day , Ma'm :-) !!!!!!!!!!!

My Starlets

Its Rakhshabandhan today and its raining outside. The last courier from one of my cousin sisters just arrived and many couriers still somewhere in between are trying to get through the jammed Varanasi to reach me. Thanks to the postal department and DTDC, they can't deliver a courier in seven days which they claim to reach in 3 days.Anyhow, was feeling lonely today like many previous Rakhis and the delay added to my loneliness. But even that couldn't decrease my love for my sister cousins who never forget to send me rakhi wherever they are and however busy they may be. So, instead of waiting I thought of writing this piece. Before you start reading this, I want to tell my sisters -
" I love you like anything, I am missing you like never before,
I wished you all were here, or God had given me wings four,
Or would have been able to ride the clouds that are causing this shower,
To meet you all in this very hour".

For my starlets:-

Everyday since my birth I could remember,
I longed for the purest love, sweet and tender,
I knew exactly what it will feel,
Coz I felt that vibe when my mother's touch healed.

In want of more warmth I waited several winters,
Always asked my Mom - "I need a sister",
But god had plans that differed,
Deprived, alone, I used to wither.

Was loved deeply without anyone to share,
Always cared for but none for me to care.

Every rainy August, the paper boats made by me used to drown,
But my baby girl wasn't there to tease me for that and clap around,
To push me in the rain and get me wet,
And complain to Maa -" Why he is always using the internet?"
Snatching away my cellphone and trying to read my messages,
Freaking out when it said - " Only authorised access,
Catching me talking over the phone at night,
Wondering if I found my Miss Right,
Fighting over the larger piece of pizza,
"Gimme dat ya sunaun mummy ko tera Goa wala kissa"
Telling mom everytime " You love him more!!!" and cry,
Drawing her close and then telling her " Someone loves you more re and that's your bhai ".


Mom told me, "Your baby girl is a star in the sky",
So whenever I saw a shooting star I would run to the horizon and look by,
He used to watch from the top and smile,
One day he said to me, "Look around!! Starlets have arrived."
Your love, I think is sufficient for one plus four,
Just as you wanted I give you "MORE"."

I thank you God for such lovely younger sister cousins,
They are five but mischiefs are enough to dazzle a dozen.
Only truth, no lies implied my cherry-pies,
You five are really the apple of my eyes.
By:-
Yours,
"Sonu Bhaiya"

Messages for you this rakhi:-

Shipra Shekhar- You are special in every possible way,
So never doubt youself,okay,
You came and were there for me when I really needed you,
After you came I wished to have sister like you, two,
You never made me feel that I was not your blood,
This feeling can't be expressed in words,
The bond we developed will never die,
However busy I may be with my life,
And certainly not even after I get a wife :-).he he
I am really missing you this Rakhi.
Just Got your card and rakhi.Thank you.

Sneha Shekhar - We don't get to talk that much(thanks to your university for banning cellphones),
But I love you dear too much,
All the best for your life ahead. Get through NET, I wanna see you a scientist.

Snigdha Sukun - Limey !! Now don't ever get afraid of injections,
They are better than catching infections.
Get well soon. Want to see you run like before.
Waiting for your Rakhi!!!

You two are too young to read this. Anyways:-
Sona - Thank you for coming to me this Rakhi. You are the only one near to me at present. Hope you liked the present. This seven year old considers herself as a soap opera star and Sonam kapoor would shy away if she saw her attitude.:-) Good luck Miss India.

Pankhuri- Future Miss Sunita Williams!! Gotto study loads for that. All the best.

A letter to an Egoistic Boss

Dear Dr.(Mr) Egoist,

My heartiest condolences to you after the death of your self-respect whose ghost is haunting you in the form of your infalliable ego.Alas! That could have been saved if you knew what is the difference between self-respect and ego that is same as alive and dead, angel and devil.
Your desire for respect ultimately made you loose your "self-respect" and turn it around in a negative way. You are not realising it at this time but the height your ego has achieved will definitely make you fall one day and then you won't be able to stand up. I know you are a miserable person. Whenever you look around you see yourself surrounded by successful people who have achieved the zenith of achievements that makes your ego crave for the same but you don't know the basic difference between them and yourself - they stand high in the eyes of the people
and you look down upon people so that you may rise above yourself. Sir,a person is great because people make them great. Greatness is never self-proclaimed. I don't know but you should have known this after years of experience and you don't need someone who has just entered the world to make you understand this. Power, prestige and prowess are to be commanded never demanded. If people consider you are really
worth it then you won't have to ask for that.

Anger, the one weapon which everyone uses as food for his ego, never realising what a wolf he is feeding who can eat you up anytime once you let it loose.
But the temporary strength which one feels after that makes him feel good - Ah !!! He has satisfied one of the instincts - the ego instinct.
What power I feel, I can ruin anyone, I have the power, I feel the power, I can crush anyone , I love myself, I hate everyoone else, "Aham Brahmasmi!!!"
The moment you think all this a part inside you will die, the part which is the life force inside you and it is overtaken by another force - the "anti-life" force.
Energy is replaced by energy but thats not all the same. Energy can create and so it has power to destroy also. And that is killing you for sure I know. And even you know this. But you can't see your destruction, coz you yourself proclaim that you can't be destroyed.

Whatever wrong you have done to me, I forgive you for that. I am here just to make you realise what wrong you are doing to yourself. I want you to wake up from your conscious sleep and belief on which you are sleeping over for years now.
I know this letter will hurt you where you hate it the most, your sweet ego, but once you realise it you will achieve the peaceful state of mind which you have desired for so long. You will be really really happy.
You will get whatever you wanted, that will be the rebirth of your self-respect. So stop looking it outside. Look inside yourself.

Expecting some improvement with this medicine,
Yours Intern,
Pritesh

Once it rains.... : To the ever elusive Monsoons

Get into my mind, can you ??
Search my soul, will you ??
Have been searching it for a long long time,
The right path gave me an unwanted shunt,
Can you help me in my treasure hunt??

Can you read my thoughts?
They usually get wary and I get lost.
Hah!!! What an oxymoron I spell aloud,
When I say - "Nah !!!! I am used to walking alone in the crowd."

What has happened to me,
I am not whom I used to be,
I have changed before, have changed for the good,
This time I am resisting change hard, the hardeset I could.

Coz I think I am becoming like you,
Alike,
"A-chord", it strikes,
It was difficult to find my mirror-self,
Harder still is to resist the change now in myself!!

To save few, one has to sacrifice one-self,
Nothing's left with me, somebody please help !!!!
Gave everything, an empty soul,
Waiting for the monsoons to fill the hole,
To imbibe life once again,
It will change -
"Once it rains,
Once it rains,
Once it rains"

Waiting for the monsoons....

Let it go, slowly !!! To my best pals.....

Guys !!! I nedn't say it this time... coz i know you already know.. but still this one's for you all. Take away one part of my heart because you all deserve it rogues :-)... kamino.. lolzz ..here it goes:-

What do you do,
When you can't vent out the truth?
Coz there is nobody to listen,
For you are considered too strong for wrongs to happen,
But we all have our weaknesses,
Needing a lap to bury our faces,
And cry,
Till the tears dry,
That one person with whom you are never shy,
Coz you know he/she will just listen and won't ask why,
Find her in your Mom,
He can be your best friend Tom,
Just be thankful to God for him/her,
And if nobody is present thank God for being there,
For giving the strength to bear the punch,
To see the lonesome heart getting munched,
Leaving it hardened n dried as a pearl-shell,
Inside which a maiden would dwell,
Protected from treachery, away from deceit,
In a world marvellous in which only happiness repeats .

Somewhere round the corner,
An Angel waits so quiet,
People watch and pass by,
She looks for her Knight.

Waiting, waiting, waiting,
Seems like a decade since the last sight.
Patience, patience honey,
A bit longer take it might.

Look at you, Look at you.
Soooo beautiful in White !!!
A road wide open ,and dusky twilight,
Voyage of a lifetime,To be covered in a night.

Our Castle on the move,
As swift as a Kite.
Passions mounting higher,
With every breath and sigh.

A run along the coast,
The winds kissing Goodbye.
Oh ! What a moment!!!
A moment to live and die.

Words fail me again,
I really pity my plight!!
Clapton to my rescue,
It plays "Wonderful tonight..."

Numb to feel the cold wind,
what an emotional height.
Cuddled in my arms,
You are warm, alright ??

Stopping by a stream, a Heavenly delight,
Ripples getting smoother, and moon's got a bite,
Awesome smell the violets and the lady of the Knight,
Wanna know further ?? Use your imaginary flight... lolz

The Human Brain : Just Faaaascinating

I was reading Human Physiology for my PG preparation these days and I got fascinated by the human brain. The most vital structure of the human body remains the least explored even at the present times with all the modern technologies at our beck and call but to understand the working of human brain still remains a challenge to the neuro-scientists. What we know till day is just some anatomy, some significant areas of our interests medically and used for curing diseases but nobody paid attention to the vastly barren areas of human brain. Just because it seems too difficult to penetrate, increasing complexity at each step and lack of Human volunteers and research funds not sufficing enough to encourage the scientists interested. In the brain what fascinated me most was the limbic system and the hippocampus, the generator of all emotions and feelings - both positive and negative. It is said that all the great persons had something in common their approach towards life and their way of thinking. Well the answer to greatness lies somewhere in between the layers of cortex of the limbic system, allocortex and juxtallocortex. The whole brain appears to me as a great electromagnetic field interacting constantly with other electromagnetic fields of the universe having a great impact on the universe. I hope during the coming years the scientists come up with the answers which are not yet answered :-
- Why only human evolved so fast that they left all the other species who were left way behind during the process of evolution ?
- Why do some people reach extra-ordinary levels of greatness while others lag behind being mediocre ?
- What is our thought process and how does it affect our lives ?
- Do we have something called luck or the chance factor ? Can we really control our lives ?
-What is that portion of the human brain which is the most central to all these questions ?
- Do we really have a "soul" inside our body ?
- Can we really apply all the laws of physics and nature to an organic body still capable of acting like a metal conducting electricity ??
- Do we have a direct connection with God at some level in our life ?
- What is "God" exactly understood by us ?
- Myself and all of us accept the presence of a higher energy which regulates us all , so how does the regulation takes place ?

To find the answers of the above questions and many others yet unanswered we have to wait for the future and search for the clues in the divine quotes and writings of the great saints and religious preachers of past. The world seems interconnected by a force binding us, the origin lies somewhere in our minds. Can you really "think" about it ??

The "insignificantly" SIGNIFICANT people of our lives.

Today I am really emotional, just came to remember something . It was a great day for me and I will have to share it with you all because incidences like this seldom happen in your life and I was no doubt "overwhelmed".
It happened when I was back home during my PSM postings and mom send me to have something from the market. It was afternoon and very few people were there on road. I was walking with my eyes closed, lost in my own world as usual. So I didn't notice a bike stopping few steps away from me. The guy wore a helmet but it appeared to me as if he was looking at me. When I caught notice of him, he slowly took off his helmet. I could now notice a big man with moustache, familiar face. I struggled through my memory to have a name or even the slightest idea who he was. As I drew closer, I could actually remember him with his name - Satyendra. He used to drop me to school in his auto rickshaw when I was a kid studying in Class 6th. I cursed myself how could I forget him. He was always so sweet to me. Anyways, by that time we were facing each other. He gave me his hand and we shook hands.
Satyendra : " Pehchane Sonu?"
By that time I was all prepared.
Me : " Arrey Uncle aap, kaise hain ?"
Satyendra : "Bas sab badhiya... so doctory complete ho gayi tumhaari ?"
Me : "Haan bas isi saal huyi hai"
Then we talked some usual stuff.
After sometime he said with a smile on his face " Mujhe laga nahi pehchanoge .."
I was embarrassed but I concealed it very well.
Me : " Arrey Uncle aap bhi !!!!!"
Satyendra : "Chalo tumhe yaad ho na ho, mujhe sabhi bacche bahut acchi tarah se yaad hain. Tum to yaad ho hi."
Me : " Toh Aunty bacche theek thaak ?"
I suddenly came to remember that he got married when I finished my class 6th and chose some other profession.
Satyendra :" Haan", and then he told me something which stunned me,
"Pata hai maine apne bade bacche ka naam Pritesh rakha hai. Uss waqt tumhara selection just hua hi tha. Paper mein naam padha tha tumhara. Mujhe isse accha naam nahi soojha."

And I was stupefied, petrified and couldn't speak a word. Words failed me and I didn't know what to say at that time.
Me: " Uncle, bahut jyaada ijjat de di aapne mujhe".
After that I couldn't speak. He saw that on my face. We shook hands again. He wished me all the success in my life ahead. After that he kicked off his bike and left leaving me wondering - " What are we without these people who played small and significant roles in our lives ? I could hardly remember that guy and he named his son after me !!!!! As we move in our life ahead, we tend to forget these people without realising that what an important role they played in our life. They made us a part of their life and are living with it and we don't even know that !!!!! I am still wondering that it happened for real. We sometimes move so fast in our lives that we don't notice people around us. So lets pause, flashback and remember all those persons whom we so happily omitted from our lives but without them our life wouldn't have been the same as we live today. Thank you all the "insignificantly" significant people of my life !!!!!!!

The Divine Hurricane

A peaceful evening,
The sky went dark,
With signs of impending doom,
I could hear the death dogs bark.

Oh My God !!! It was true,
The truth I always knew,
I couldn't hide it more from myself,
Was searching someone to desperately help.

I found none, I found none,
In search of the Sun , I got undone,
The hurricane passed and was all barren,
I never thought anything worse can happen.

I started gathering what was left with me,
In a sky so clear now, the Heavens I could see,
A light dawned upon me from nowhere,
God made me a part of his secret share.

I questioned, is it real?
Don't doubt you just have to feel,
Oh! How divinely was i healed,
I myself dispatched my future sealed.

Love without a Love

Guys, tried to make it musical this time. Anyone who can crack the right notes and strike the right chords for this ????... Ishan !!!! :-)

In love without a love, again,
Did lose but ready to lose, again,
In this desert waiting for the rain, again,
Already fed up of this chain, again,
Can you take up the same pain, again ?
But I still wait for the rain, again,
Have I gone Insane, again ?
Can't find the right lane, again.
Do I really need a cane, again ?

We, The "Mango" People : Dedicated to the Common Man who is slave of his dreams.

Just came across three shades of a common man , sharing some common objectives with different priorities - love, luxury and fulfilment of responsibilities endowed on him. This one goes for the former and the latter. Some body rightly said - "We are the "mango" people , the "aam janta" !!" Don't try to be extraordinary. But what if ?? "Go with the mass, coz you are Middle Class" This is for everyone like me, everyone like you (for us Asif Bhai ) :-

Life doesn't depend on your mood,
It works its own ways bad or good,
Depends on what you shouldn't and what you should,
Not what you couldn't and what you could.

They remember you if to them you are nice,
Not the one who pays for you the price,
All we need is bread and rice,
And if needed a piece of spice.

So lets be humble and lets be wise,
Because there are plenty of "other" guys,
Two are your shoulders on them your duty lies,
Believe it or not but they are of considerable size!!!

So lets have "something" before this body dies,
New realms are waiting and so are the wider skies,
The night is long but we will see the sunrise.

Would like to quote from one of the ads -
"Coz there are few things which money can't buy,
For everything else you have your Mastercard -
Your Mind, Sincerity and Working hard"

Chiraigaon week 2 : The Bigg Boss got missing !!!!

This is my second week in Chiraigaon, and today the day being Monday its the compulsory attendance day everyone has to show their faces to the Boss, the Bigg Boss. But the Bigg Boss didn't turn up today, saving one of us from elimination lolz... I could still remember the last weeks' drama where we the Interns were having the feeling - Gosh we are so definitely screwed !!! :-

Day :- 15th Feb
Place :- The Bigg Boss House ( Chiraigaon, Rural Health Training Centre)
Time :- 11:00 a.m.

Bigg Boss(Dr. Ravi Shankar) calls us for a round table conference... yeah being an Intern obliges us to attend all the meetings held as a passive listener who doesn't have to speak but just nod and laugh on Bigg Boss' jokes and answer the 'tricky' questions, which every 2nd year student knows, in a way that it appears to be a new information altogether. This was our first day in RHTC and as usual most of us were feeling funny and some couldn't stop smiling. Bigg boss could't take it sportingly. "Are they laughing on my complexion or my baldness or my accent ?" "Am I pronouncing the words right ?".. "I practiced last night in front of the mirror , Interns are getting smarter day by day . They make us look like fools."

Bigg Boss( speaks in Rannvijay style) : I will give you "special tasks"
Are you all ready for it, may I ask ?

Intern 1:- Frankly speaking sir, I am here for studies, sleep and good food,
Do you really think we interns are that good ?
Sir, I don't want to be rude,
But don't bother us, and spare us Dude !!!

Intern 2 and 3(together) :- I am really missing my girlfriend and my boyfriend here,
We will stay for a day a two and then depart back there,
Two days are enough here , who really cares,
Last batch was totally absent, why we ? Its not fair !!

Intern 4( He really got fired up) :-
Everyday we go out in the field with stethoscopes around our necks,
But we return seeing not more than chickens and ducks,
I mean wtf,
This posting really sucks !!!!

Intern 5 : Whole day I burrowed my head in my book,
When you were lecturing not a single words I took,
Don't worry sir, we are staying here !!!( he he we will go and don't even tell the cook)
( The cook is the secret service around here.. works as a double agent....lolz)

Intern 6 :- I am really having a nice time,
I watch "Gaon ki Goris" for my pass time,
I already have plans of having whisky with soda-lime !!

and the meeting is adjourned for next Monday!! In line are some new adventurous tasks and more comedy. So stay tuned, its Pritesh reporting live from Chiraigaon !!!!

Mirages : Dedicated to all the persons who got hurt by life sometime knowingly or unknowingly

Really have to feel that way while writing this, Thank You. Friends. Just hope I did justice to this piece.... For everyone :-

I can't be like you,
I just can't coz I really don't,
Its not you what I want,
Its me what I want,
Me, who got lost somewhere,
Me, who used to love and care,
Me, who was someone,
Me, who used to work a tonne,
Me, who could see through the lines and read minds,
I lost my soul which was dear to me and one of its kind.
Me who used to rise and shine,
Who could work non-stop six to nine,
All got lost in a Blitzkrieg,
Making me close to a freak,
I fell, I stood up not my first time,
I won't change, I have been primed,
Nobody has to worry, live your life,
Coz life is a circus, you will have to walk on knife,
Have walked alone and will continue,
Taking along persons which are my chosen few,
Nobody cares, why should one ?
Who am I, just someone,
Alas! I have a good memory, I regret,
I just can't forget things which I want to forget,
People are waiting out there with fishing nets,
Snap, catch, wobble and slowly the body rests,
Its just fun for some while setting sun for some,
Bashing doors on your face after they ask to come,
Don't know where to stop,
Lost in their own world listening hip-hop,
Need someone to shop,
Not months of waiting non-stop,
Ha ha ha !!!! What a comedy !!!!
World !!!! Some people are really shady !!! :-)

Addicted

In my previous post I mentioned that this poet found his poetic paradise...
So here is the result...
Three Haiku's(short poems) back to back....

Addiction gets you high,
Surmounts mountains and takes you far in the sky,
My friends ask me ‘Just give it a try’ ,
I always refuse and remember ‘you’ thats why,
Coz your love is my addiction,
Ohh Dear !!! Did I just make you cry ??

Smile.... : Inspired by a little Kiddo I came across !!!

Smile,
Way to mask your pain erstwhile,
To camouflage the huge valley of tears' Nile,
So that nobody asks what happened to that file,
Nobody knows that your once sweet heart is as bitter as bile,
To strengthen yourself for another journey of a thousand miles,
To download your emotions accumulated in a pile,
In a form which is the best beguile.

Pathfinder

Lost in transition,
I desire never to be found again,
Done with the Ignition,
Feeling the tranquilism,
There is no place for materialism.

Enjoying the lonesome ride like never before,
Feeling like the sea having no shore,
Meeting the person deep inside the core,
Desires perished, wanting something no more,
Getting control of the basic instinct no. four.

Not static but the ship is on its way,
The water is wide open, slowly it sways,
Want a lighthouse, a harbour ? - Nay!!
while the sun shines make the hay,
Wake up traveller, no time to lay,
A day utilised, unlike yesterday,
Someone is watching, but He won't say,
A Godsend, An Angel makes my day !!!!

Chiraigaon... just Wow !!!!!

So here is my first non-poetic entry on my blog.... well its not that there is something 'not-so-poetic' about this place but it surely requires description....
Well anyone can give you a very vivid description of this place so I am going to elaborate. on points which you will overlook...
I don't know what makes people shun this place but for me 'its the best thing that happened to me in the past two months'... You name one thing and its there(except your friends and more importantly your "girl-friend or boy-friend" -.. lolz . Well it has become a necessity for the people who have one and that may be the reason why they don't wanna stay here.. But surely I am having a great time out here).
Place - great... nothing more quiet I can imagine
Hostels - up to the mark.... you will surely be impressed as they will be much above your expectations..
Food - the best thing... I really needed a break from what they serve at the hostel
Entertainment - for a quiet person like me who doesn't need partying and boozing every week, it has everything... Newspaper, Internet, games , music(carry ur own music system either your cellphone or if you really wanna rock your portable speakers). And if you are a net addict like me, what else would you want Data One broadband connection with downloading facility, and obviously no proxy screener so that you can easily access all the social networking sites and blogs - it surely is a heaven for me. You can carry your laptops and watch movies if you don't wanna study.
Studies- nothing better than this place. The thing is you get to study at different locations ... study in your room, study in dining hall, study at the terrace, study beside the tube well, study in the lawn, study beneath the mango tree... And no-one disturbs... moreover you don't get to see the usual faces you see everyday reminding you of the very same boring routine you follow.... the breeze takes away all of your pains and worries and you can stretch coninuously for hours with same concentration..
For persons looking for peace and a break from their lifestyle its really an oasis in a desert....
You can't escape from problems wherever you go.. here too the biggest problem being the co-ordination between the boys and girls as the cold war and the clash of the egos between them continues.... The Cold War certainly doesn't lead to a fire but its for sure that both sides sulk inside and have nobody to complain.... well with the girls now gone for a day or two boys can be boys.. though today I am alone here with Shamshad boss but I am still loving it. And I am ready to stay here for most of the times during my rural postings even if nobody comes along with me. The poet inside me has certainly found his paradise. :-)

Happy Valentine's Day, My Valentine !!!!!

Yesterday's rain has really turned on my senses and with Valentine's Day due tomorrow , I could not stop myself from writing this 'Letter to my Valentine'. This also contains a message for her. I can only pray she gets it.
"Whoever you are, wherever you are,
Come into my life I am really missing you yaar...." :-(
Feel it & read it coz I really really mean it !!!!!
Just do that a bit slowly ... :-) !!!!
Here it goes :-


I am into my 23rd spring,
Looking for a fragile finger to ring,
Queen of my Heart lonely is your King,
Now I can really feel the breeze sing,
It could be the time for the real thing,
I could see the dew drops on leaves in the morning,
With Roses and daffodils blooming,
Silence between us is my only wrenching.

Awesomely similar are we both, but we complement,
My Namesake, my Ornament.
I may not be a very handsome prince,
But I promise You, I will never make you wince,
I love you and love you ever since,
We baby fishes just got our fins!!

I just wish You could see the signs,
Start reading in between the lines,
Have to get this dear its not fair,
Are you really looking coz its there !
God!! you will make this work if you really care.

If you don't get it at first, I give you another chance,
Slowly at first, then we can dance,
Honey !!! People are waiting to see our romance :-),
Already I am in a trance,
Girl!! Will you be mine, Princess of France ?

Happy Valentine's Day In Advance !!!!!

All I want you to do is to trust,
If you open the flood gates, my love will burst,
Don't worry dear !!!! You can't worsen it,coz its already worst :-).
Coz deep inside its love not lust,
You have made your entry in my life a must,
Without you I feel like I will be doomed to dust!!

There is nothing from you which I expect,
Just don't ever break my trust & respect my self respect,
Do not think much over what will happen next,
Just mail me or send me a text,
I assure you I will take care of the rest,
Dear!! Whatever happens, it will happen for the best,
What difference does it make, live in East or West.

If you don't like me, don't be manipulative,
Please don't protect yourself by suggesting alternatives,
Because love is a thing which is not relative,
I am certainly now your captive,
Say it straight on my face,
And I will certainly close my case.

Don't think this as a decision of haste,
I know it from somewhere that we have similar tastes,
I have thought over it much & I know nobody waits,
So I won't let my efforts go waste.
Oh My God! You look so serene and chaste,
I can't stop imagining you on our wedding date.

I know you must be having confusion in your mind,
Recapitulate, flashback and rewind,
You and me are one of its kind,
That is why we are having difficulty to find,
A diamond ring is waiting for you in a glass of wine,
We really don't need to date or dine,
Coz I already know you are really mine.

If you are having any doubts we can talk,
Sort it over a long romantic walk,
Or we have another option of gtalk,
But for God's sake honey, please talk,
Only you can open my heart's lock,
And save me from this mental block.

I have no time to woo you, so here is my blog,
If you feel the same way as me then do make a log,
I know you understand it dear coz we have books to slog,
After a days hard work where Interns are treated as dogs,
If you come along we can go the whole hog,
I really need you dear to clear my mind's fog!

I conclude my letter hence,
P.S.:- Repetition is not coincidence,
You don't even have to change your spectacles to lens,
To see our kids playing inside our fence,
Oh Dear!! Are you blushing or are you tense ??

"Happy Valentine's Day, My Valentine" !!!!!!

A Mature Step Into The World : Dedicated to all the Surgeons

You may have got a Life,
But, I've got Lives.
Lives which get affected by my sheer presence or absence,
Believe me this job is no nuisance.
They come and go,
Some knew me, others now they know.

These gloved hands seldom shiver,
Draining an abscess from the liver,
Or while suturing the skin like a weaver,
To make a wound deeper and deeper.

These feet never shake,
Standing at a stretch without a break,
Life here is not a piece of cake,
When everyday you have to face blood as if water in a lake.

Scrubbed in green gown,
Overhearing relatives mourn,
With determination into the theatre I step down,
Eyes fixed to the field,
Solid and cold as steel,
A musician's finger on the roll,
Incising skin in the form of hyperbole,
One mistake and he is number,
Will he everwake up from his murderous slumber ?

To be precise and to follow the protocol,
Patient care is not over at all,
Waking up at nights on call,
On rounds having a hypoglycemic fall,
Getting up again and standing tall,
While the consultants make us inconspicuosly small.

Stepping out after duty hours,
Still running to have a shower,
Also to have a short nap,
As the boy has to run another lap.

Lying down on my bed the room seems to swirl,
While we prepare to put a mature footstep into the world !!!

"Days Of Our Lives" : Dedicated to the Old Interns and future PG1s !!!

Before you start reading, just one request to future PG-1s,
Be a little leanient on us New Interns :-) ...lolz !!!
Inspiration - Nitin Boss !!

They say I think a lottt,
Over petty things on which nobody gives a thought,
I try to avoid thinking but my imagination gets caught,
Why sometimes we have to think whether to love or not ?
Why for some it is a never ending drought ?

Why the hell we have exams to pass,
When our memory can't even retain the lecture of morning class ?
Why always we have to go with the mass,
Leaving a soul inside longing for carass ?
Have we really started thinking ourselves as trash ?

Caught in the dilemma of our lives,
No time to think about our prospective wives :-),
Whether we would be holding chalk, steth or knives ?
Or our workplace will be as busy as a bee hive ?
Don't spend time thinking, just take your books & dive !!!

Why we have to stay up late in night so icy ?
Damn ! I must get a Clinical seat in IC !!
After the results the scene will be so dicey,
People will be playing emotional games with the nice,
Fighting over seats was never so spicy !!!

Why there are only twelve divisions in a clock ?
And why the hour hands only twice flock ?
Why if given the key, the person changes the lock ?
And we have to ask the permission to enter the place where we belonged..knock knock!
Why Dopamine is given in shock,
While I ponder over this, the sound continues tick-tock, tick-tock !!!

All the best bosses, n ma'm ,
Do your best in the upcoming exam,
I know its a whole lot to cram,
Just keep your brains on the track of tram,
Just few more hours and your dreams are there - BAM !!!! :-)

Nightmare

Sometimes in the dark of night,
I sit upright,
Feeling a fright inside,
A dream so bright,
Will be again out of sight,
With the dawn's twilight,
So I try not to sleep,
As I don't want dreams which I can't keep,
To avoid the nightmares,
Dauntingly they stare,
Straight into the eyes,
And a part of me dies,
Inside,
To make me realise -
"You wake up from dreams,
Sometimes you may scream,
You may have to pass through storms,
Only to make a way safe home ."

Act of Perfection : Dedicated to MBBS'05 batch

Being too good or being too bad,
Bothways people will have a problem with that,
Years and years have gone past,
They still believe I display an act.

Being afraid their evil will reveal,
Goodness is what they try to conceal,
And say "Ah! Its good to be a little nerdy,
Coz persons so good don't exist, I am telling you buddy."

They hate themselves, so they hate others,
Forgetting that we are all kins of one Father.
Impurities inside them can't wait to have an effect.
And they try to affect the persons "trying to be perfect".

I have tried and I have tried hard,
Even tried to make milk from curd,
You can change yourself you can't change the world,
Coz goodness comes from inside, not by few poetic words.

So let them move, let them move in "herd",
Coz its really an irreversible process to make "milk from curd",
I am not perfect and I don't want to be,
But I will try to approach perfection and one day you may see.

Love MCQ - Yeah, one half of the population do take it as a serious question !!!

Especially dedicated to people who consider love as a multiple choice question, to choose the best among few !!!! Ohhh come on !!!! Give it a break!!! Some people really do have a heart!! Females please do read it !!!! Especially dedicated to one of my female friends who really got awestruck by this stupid question :-

"Love everyone and the love gets back to you".
Do you really think its true ??
With a heart so big, bigger than the sky blue.
I make a start with the chosen few.

I made sure everyone gets their share,
Not a single person is deprived of the love and care,
Well the pieces of my heart never got their proper heir.
Now I think that not even a single piece is left there.

While searching within I asked my moth bitten heart,
"Why everyday I take away your part,
The very next day you make a new start ?
Only to be pierced by a new dart ?"

"Because, loving is not merely fun,
It follows the law of all or none,
Not to be done at the point of gun,
Just give a kick start, and let it be Autorun,
If the spark continues till destination,
He or she may be your chosen one.

Otherwise halt somewhere and go for different stations,
And give your good times a little appreciation,
Don't jump from option to option,
And rescue yourself with "friends" suggestion,
Coz that merely creates more and more confusion,
Moreover no one likes to be the product of calculated adoption,
My dear, love is not a Multiple Choice Question,
It is a complex mathematical situation,
Requiring balancing of divine equations,
Minimizing the voltage fluctuations,
And reaching the ultimate perfection.

I think I have answered all your questions."

Wait...?? No just don't !!!!!!

"Take me along", "take me along",
I heard a voice, "Take me along",
Sorry I can't, sorry I can't,
I can't stop to be point blank.

I may have to run and run so hard,
To prove and fetch the ones who have the bright cards,
I am no player and I will have to learn fast,
Before anyone again spells a cast.

Let me get into my groove and take the stride,
Coz there is nothing greater than honour and pride.
Let me meet you on my return trip,
And if you are still there, you may get a gift.

I will advise not to wait and just move on,
If we still meet at a crossroad, we can still catch on.

Thank You

Never before I felt saying it like that,
Don't know what makes me glad.
I wanna thank god for whatever I had,
And the time which was not that bad.

Thanks for the people whom I met at the right time,
And narrowing down my relations to the best of all time.
I thank you for the friends who dont understand me at all,
But can break anyone's head as if it was nothing but a glass bowl.
Some near some so far away that you tend to forget the route,
Yet connected by a jovial message sent at times when you really need to boot.


Special teachers who motivated me when I started doubting,
Tender words of their were like an enchanting.
People having "Unconditional faith" on me and my abilities,
Don't know if this "Capt. No Good" had done all his duties.

People coming up from nowhere as if it was a bolt from the blue,
Only to stay to make my life more meaningful,
Don't know if ever I will be able to meet people so beautiful,
Ever wondered that "just friends" can be so cooool.

I dont know how to express in words,
Coz they can't say the feelings beyond this world.
Words always elude me as usually they are not there ,
When I wanna let them know that I really do care.
Just too apprehensive to make them use,
As words can be dangerous and I dont want to lose.

Just regret few mistakes which I shouldn't have done,
And I punish myself daily for that, by deliberately shunning the ones.
Wanna let them know I am no good but I am not bad,
Just one weakness in me, I can't see anyone sad.
For that very reason people utilise me for their own good,
And leave me with repentence and a very bad mood.

Just wished either the world be so perfect or the perfect be my world,
To run away from artifice and hypocrisy to the green sea and the land of singing birds.

--Dr. Pritesh

DISTANCES

I need an emotional chiding everytime I feel to cry,
Everytime it happens and everytime I ask why??
Why it is only me who gets a shudder all the time ?
while others leave by just doing their time ??

For me everthing feels so special,
Only to know that it was nothing but a rehearsal,
Rehearsal of a play which existed in my dreams and staged so many times,
I am the speaker while others just mime.

They come and leave only to strengthen me everytime,
Everytime I pledge never to speak again but alas my silence breaks for just one more time.
The play has no audiences just me and my thoughts,
In constant battle of reason and rhyme they fought.

I usually stop by to be an audience as a traveller who seeks rest,
But everytime I turn out to be an actor whose patience is put to test.
The roads I travel never seem to end,
I only seek for a pillow to lie down sometime and to depend.
A pillow I can hug which supports me as a backrest,
Not like a bird which flies over the cuckoo's nest.

Everytime I reach a destination and is about to take a new road,
I have to pay a heavy price as toll.
The price so heavy as they ask me the precious moments of my life,
Li'l things which in no way I can part as these are the only treasures on which I thrive.
Distances are what I need to travel, distances are what I fear most,
But can't do without them as they may take you places, take you to your "Saccha Dost".

I hail them from here, I make a trunk call,
I ask them to wait, just wait untill fall.
I cover some ground daily, I daily gain some cents,
So that they can have a great future and a nice Christmas present.

But they are also travelling and they can't walk alone,
Too feeble to "grow up" and face the music on their own.
I look back and try to move on,
Trying to remove the lines etched somewhere with tear drops that keep rolling on.

Every journey I travel takes a lot from me,
And when I reach a milestone I find no-one but me.
That takes out the joy for which I took the pain,
And I see my efforts go in vain , again.

But why am I rebuking them,they helped me without themselves having a clue that they are taking me there,
And I travelled some important "distances" for people I really care.
