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.

26/11: We Will Never Forget

Wounds are still fresh
Time can never heal.

Pain is still agonizing
By mere words it wont ease.

Tears still roll down from our eyes
Life has never been the same since that night.

Justice has never been done till date
History will never forgive us if we dont restore that smile again.

We wont let that blood dry
We wont let its color fade away.

We will not shut our eyes now
We will not turn our heads away.

We stood united then
We stand united now.

We are Mumbai.
We will never forgive
We will never forget.

Vinchu Katta

Mighty and Majestic, standing tall

Looking over the lands guarding the fortress walls.

Journey is tough path too steep,

Makes your senses come alive seeing the might of the cliff.

Lone path to reach the peak,

A foot wrong and you'll be in stars.

Into the green muddy walkway,

Hard to climb and difficult to dismount.

A look downward, all you see is pain

A look upward, you have everything to gain.

Scramble with your hands and feet,

Follow the path to reach the endless sky.

Miles above the lands, with heaven above

Goosebumps and shivers all up and down.

That feeling of ecstacy, gets your adrenaline going 

A sight worth watching, a risk worth taking.

Natures Magic

There is something with these mountains,
That keeps reminding me every time.

How petty our thinking has become
Realises one when you reach there, all the time.

City life is a cynical way of living
Pointing only negatives, without noticing the positives

We feel the heat, but we ignore the light
We see the rains, but never cherish the rainbow

Mountain broadens our horizon
Gives a panorama view of missing elements

This picture will remind me of natures magik
Where it was raining near the lens, shade on the ground and light in the far end.

So celebrate every moment and enjoy lifes' puzzle in bundle
As in the end there always will be light at the end of tunnel.

Fly High !!!

Sometimes we smile out of obligation,
Sometimes we smile coz its regulation.

When it starts pouring we shrink ourselves in the shade
When the wind is blowing we turn our face away.

We live a robotic life in a shell,
Never thinking of breaking the rules.

Break the shackles, dare to dream the cosmos
Instead of hiding, welcome nature's gifts with open arms

Let the power of wind surprise you
And droplets of rain wash your trouble away

The feeling is divine which makes you feel free
That sense of being alive, with your heart whooping yipee !!!
