I see people, I look for faces...

Going to a new place, a place where you don't have your family, only contacts. A place where you don't have friends, only colleagues. Its at places such as these, you try to look for familiar faces. Amongst unknown, never seen before people, you suddenly start seeing people, people you know, people you love. You start thinking what if instead of these unknown people, you were again amongst the company of your loved ones. In their unknown faces, you suddenly start seeing familiar faces.

Then, this wish fulfilling dream breaks. The reality of the unknown place with the unknown people again dawns on you. You resign yourself to these people, hoping, just hoping that some of them would be like, if not the people you left.

Well, as they say, even if the cast changes suddenly, the show must go on. That it will, with a bang. Now, thats a promise.

"Months of Life"

The Comeback Post: "Months of Life" The Delhi Metro finally gave me some respite. It opened in South Delhi and instead of me driving around the Ring Road- DND Route everyday, I was now a true "Metro Man". I had been envious all this while, of people living in East Delhi and West Delhi and North Delhi, as they had something which we, in the south did not have- The Metro! The relief from the driving meant though long hours still in metro. Now the challenge came, to a restless soul like me, on how to pass that 1 hour, sitting alone in the metro. In the underground stretch, the GPRS did not work, so the good old Facebook or Twitter were out. I tried to be constructive initially, taking with me, like a seasoned businessman, a copy of the morning business newspaper. Opening that, always inspired envious glances in the Metro. I got bored of that pretty fast, I realized, I had already gone through the grind of daily Economic Times reading during my MBA placement days, 1.

Thoughts on love... I have been thinking lately, thinking a lot, about things, about people, about love. Triggering the thought process are questions, questions for which there are no definite answers. Questions for which the more you search, the more you find how much less you know. Yes, I am talking about love, the hows and whys of it. The ins and outs of it. The answers though for most of these questions have been elusive. But the important thing which I found compelling was the whole concept of ‘falling in love’. For, what I thought, one must rise, not fall in love. Love should be the force which makes us stronger, not weaker. What makes you weak, what distracts you from your priorities in life is not love. It is just a passing phase. But what makes you stronger, what enables you to work even harder towards achieving your goals, what gives you the courage to carry on despite all odds, is what is commonly called love. That does not change with changing seasons. That is the one with

Collaborations....Siddharth Saxena Feat Rashmi Priyadarshini Part 2 Roads gone by... (A new poem co-written along with one of my very good friends.) "Zindagi ke safar main gujar jaate hain jo muqaam. Woh phir nahi aate woh phir nahi aate. " Smiles, laughter, joy and the play. The image of the girl, with that smiling face. Crushes and heartbreaks, every other day. All come back to me, Sweet memories as they say. Like the signboards on the highway. Roads gone by, not meant to stay. The childhood fights, the friends for life. The first drink, those times we spent. The first love, those promises, kept and unkept. Like the signboards on the highway. Roads gone by, not meant to stay. The gesture of your eyes, the pain in my cries. That midnight kiss, that first time hitch. Yes, there was something that your laughter had to say. Like the signboards on the highway. Roads gone by, not meant to stay. Those small small gifts, the after day rifts. That wa
