I was one among them,
But not with them.
They were all around me,
Falling on each other,
...

What is life? A wink of breath that we take every second
to reach our death.
Heaven is the living witness to it,
who sees us undergoing life and death.
...

I am proud to be born in this land of saints,
Now, where you will find nothing but taints.
I am proud to be born in this land of varied religions,
Now, where you will find nothing but faint pigeons.
...

Why’s my heart pumping so hard?
Why am I so panicky?
Why my hands are twitchy?
...

Forgive me mum,
I was dumb!
I didn’t see your love,
And flew away like a dove.
...

Silence was all around,
Only a lone koyal was cooing in its eternal sound,
Welcoming the fresh ray of light,
That bless us with the might,
...

Early dawn in my dreams I transformed into a colorful butterfly!
I flew around the earth,
Touching the wet sands,
The beautiful flowers,
...

It was a dream come true,
Of which I didn’t had a clue,
He proposed me,
Hearing which I was in glee.
...

Nature is what all I wanted to write about,
Like the great Wordsworth did;
Never was or is I am successful in doing so.
The red rose in my neighborhood stands as pretty as ever,
...
