One Sachin Tendulkar

Not every Evolution turns out to be a Revolution

Not every time a player becomes bigger than the Game

Not everyone is asked to decide the venue of the next Game

Not every time does a players wicket is protested by Hundred Thousand capacity Crowd

Not everyone's name is chanted in the grounds even when the player isn't playing

Not every time a team wicket is celebrated just to see One Batsman Bat

Not everytime strategies are formulated around One Man

Not everytime does One Mans' wicket decide outcome of the game

Not everytime a Domestic Game earned more TRP than an International Game

Not everyone could give nightmares to Shane Warne

Not everyone hooked a six of Shoaib Akhtar over Third Nan

Not everyone could go down the ground to play a pull of McGrath's bouncer

Not everyone can play for the nation with a bleeding nose and broken back

Not every player can unite us as One India disregarding all caste, religion barriers

Not everytime did an entire nation came together to win the World Cup for One Man

Not everyone captures the imagination of an entire nation

And the list will go on and on and on !!

Coz there are some players,
Then there are some actual good players,
Then there are some good cricketers,
Then there are some whom we term as Legends

And then there is One. Just ONE Sachin Tendulkar, the cricketing SuperPower.

Existing, not Living

Patience is a virtue I have in abundance
Still these days my resources seems to be depleted

Even seconds now seem like hours
What was fun till now appears woeful at large

Every good thing has to end one day
Even the sun doesn't shine in the dark and stars can't twinkle in the light

Ignorance is a bliss I know
Implementation is difficult although

My word does not yield power today
The status quo, though, wont be the same everyday

Biding my time and pushing the day
Only in my hand
For things doesn't appear to change in nearby future

Time sometimes seems to be impertinent
As the sun always sets when hope is sky high

Merely existing is doing injustice
For life is meant to be lived to its full extent

Yesterday was merry, today is gloomy
While tomorrow stays a Question Mark.

Makes me wonder the way things are falling apart
Are they actually falling in place, or......??

Tough Times

Together we were once
Now faces have turned in different directions.

Something is missing I can sense that
Can't change the fact
Makes me feel dreary.

Crying on it is folly
For the darkness shall be further deepening.

Days have become longer
Hands of clock are running at snails pace.

Surely this isn't my time
Less excitement and more tautness.

Friends are now the only hope
For there is nothing on the table to hold on.

The night is too long with few hands parting ways
Has the time come to start plotting another way?

-SR.

Question Mark ???

No question remains unanswered
Sometimes we just ain't ready to live it

Symbol itself ends with a dot
Even after a roller coaster ride involving a fall

Some can't bear the curves
Others fail to survive the drop

Every storm resides, even the darkness has to pass
Only those will see the light, who sustains the blizzard

Nothing can kill you
If you don't let it overpower you
For catastrophe is a parasite, thrives on your reaction

Endure & Endure, hold on even on a grain of Hope
Your time shall resurrect, at the end of the fall

End may not be what you desired in the start
But surely it will be what you deserve at last

Vidāya Sarkar

New sun is rising above the horizon
As New chapter unfolds from the Book of Life

Take a leap of faith, Spread your wings and fly high
Life is calling, Abre Los Ojos

Change is an inevitable part of life
Though your absence will surely create a void

No more trees on the desk, no fights with paper sticks
No more nonsense talks, no more weird selfies.

Time has come to part our ways
But I am so glad that I met you
Though a notorious munchkin, but you're my Friend
And this is true

Won't say goodbye, for we shall meet again

Maybe on a different day, in a different way,
But the friendship will stay
Just like it is today.

Hasta-La-Vista !!!

Breakfree

Staring in the eyes when our paths crossed on that winter night.

Freed me from the past, whose prisoner I was for such a long time.

For your eyes were seeking answers, questions I chose to ignore this time.

Maybe the hard way, but I learnt few lessons at end of day.

Not every song is worth singing, nor every mountain worth climbing.

Neither is every race worth running or every war is worth fighting.

Today I took back Me from you.

Freed me from the past, to which I bid adieu.

Black Friday

Voices are fading with the passing wind.
Pain is dissolving in the sands of time.

Today didn't wipe yesterdays tears
The crescendo of Black Friday is still ringing in our ears.

Pieces of human souls were lying on the streets
The city that never sleeps woke in fear.

Soaked in blood, world for us stood still
Sky turned dark by witnessing the wrath.

Justice was not swift and remains incomplete.
While main perpetrators are still at large,
The ones caught got heroes welcome with round applause.

Victims are mere numbers for the establishment
But for us they are The Gods own stars twinkling in the dark.

Remembering those who deserved to be amongst us today.

Revenge of the Fallen

Fallen on the ground ignored by the town,
No one hears its cries, as time passes by.

They provided solace when on the tree,
Rendered shade, gave new hope to those who seek.

Fallen on the ground, now seldom one stares by,
No one hears its cries, as time passes by.

They hide the path so people may notice,
Only to get crushed, without any regret.

Ignored by the very tree, whose beauty, once, they defined,
Now fallen on the ground it didn't even blink an eye.

Heart is boiling in anger, soul letting a cry of anguish,
Feeling of revenge conquering the mind, in these moments of pain.

They gave all they could, did everything right,
Still ignored when fallen, made their blood go dry.

United as one, they yelled their battle cries.
Revenge for the Fallen was the path they sought.

But amidst the roar, they saw a life being born,
Coming out of the very spot from where they had to fall.

Autumn may be on its way
For what seems to fall apart, might actually be falling in place.

Necessary it was for a larger cause,
For the tree won't fall and provide shade and hope to all.

So stay still when the going gets tough,
If life hasn't given up on you, you don't give up.

'Cause when the winds are blowing high,
Only fallen leaves have the power to touch the sky.

Toy Days

These things remind us of our golden days.

When planes could float in water and cars could fly in the sky.

Being stuck in a monotonous life, all we can do is look at them

And give a faint smile.

Missing the days when we were lords of our creation. 

Where Our dreams were big aims bigger than the sky.

Blue Flame

I have a story tell,
But unsure about its end.

A dream to Live,
But reality is a nightmare.

A desire of being in love,
But I am afraid to speak

A yearn to wear the crown,
But I still can't seek.

Journey of life is elementary,
Our perspective complicates it.

Though the yellow or red flame burns bright,
Blue Flame, no matter how small, is the hottest light.

Never forget to live, never forget to cheer,

Today is yours, make it a memorabilia forever.

Make peace with your past, for future is still uncertain
For our struggle with the two, present is lost in the bargain.

So still I make a wish in the starry night
With a hope, someday the flame will burn hot & bright.
