Estranged

                                


Madam what happened ?
She said I am NORMAL
But he said, you can still tell me
I am your old friend
She said :Shut up and don’t offend


Friend was worried
Why she is so serious ?
Just few days back she was fine
And now her mood is mysterious


Friend did a Google search in brain
Tried to figure out what 's driving her insane
Break-up, periods, hair-fall who is to blame
He confirmed with her again
But the outcome was same

Finally when her eyes were a little wet
On forehead a thin layer of sweat
She uttered something
Which seemed like a threat

To his utter surprise
He was the actual culprit and vice
This stopped his processor for a while
He became serious but he smiled


He stressed his grey cells
To recall what he did
Search result was Zero
He was left perplexed instead


He asked her again
Why was he blamed?
She kept her amplitude high
He could understand the reason why

Based on his track record
He did similar things in the past
He forgot what he said
Coz he knew the joke will not last

But this time a benign joke
A funny stroke
Has hurt someone hard
She said this is the end of friendship
An end of bonhomie’s boulevard


Hence a couple of words
Have changed the meanings
Friendship chord snipped
And No hard feelings


He found this reason strange
A funny joke and they estranged.

PS:As usual there was a truce after few days and a school time friendship was restored again.

It is all for the best

From merely a probability
It became reality

What were the odds
For this odd event to happen
Where were the gods
Who could have changed course of action

Smiles disappeared
Uncertainty cleared
Standing alone among many
At the crossroads I feared

Holding my wrist
Destiny fixed my tryst
But Gods will not be blamed
In prayers they wont be ashamed

My benign wishes
Are not meant for Recycle bin
Back to square one
Soon a new journey will begin

Lets start again
Lets start afresh
Lets forget the outcomes
Coz they say, 'It is all for the best

Worth your while

Miles away from home

I travel , explore and roam

Like a kid

Excited and avid

Discovering the discovered

Uncovering the uncovered

Capturing moments in stills

As a memory which instills

A symphony in mind

An opera which reminds

An era of smile

A period 'worth your while'.

The Mask

I borrowed in pieces

Few grams of Peace

To scratch out and erase

Thick layers of urban grease

This smear on my face

I showcase with a fake grace

Is a slave of hedonism

Oblivious of my purpose

I adore materialism

Running madly in a rat race

To compete with incompetents

For reasons I dont know

For people who dont care

But still I am running

In all possible directions

To catch everything

To chase anything

Caught in a virtual matrix

Sleeping with eyes wide open

At times in those day dreams

I venture out of this realm

To realize the difference

Of messy tangible existence

I pledge to renounce

this school of belief

And promise myself

To turn over a new leaf

But again back in day dream

I forget to redeem

To wipe off that smear

and fake ensemble i wear

I run again in a race

To justify pride in abase

To undertake mundane task

Still on face a smeared mask.
