change !

whatever happened to kindness

for being rude is being trendy,

whatever happened to good-old-friends..

for making new friends is the new hobby

whatever happened to gifting fresh flowers

for fake is good and fake are lovers

whatever happened to family dinners

for friends we live with and eat too!

whatever happened to "hey,how are you?"

for the facebook status says all to know

whatever happened to toy cars

for gaming in the virtual world is fun

whatever happened to love that lasts forever

the the day love went they become our past

whatever happened to grandfathers dropping grandkids to school

for living in large families is just not so cool

whatever happened to fresh artists

for plagiarism is the new art!

opportunity!

the heart that seeks sees no lines,

the hope that sees scope can never turn blind

the flow of thoughts keep the mind in arrest,

life is what takes life's test


a journey once begun can never come to end,half way

the castle of wishes the waves cannot wash away

a dramatic change can settle the zeal,

but cannot reject the rage that must feel


a person without passion

is nothing more than a mannequin

the mind that dreams

reflects the heart that BELIEVES!!!

the children at the retention center.

the strident call and all appear

in line,

on broken benches and leaking glasses,

its time to dine,



food on platter some fresh,

some stale,

some faces smiling,

some faces pale,



some adjusting their clothes,

some teasing their mates

some imagining the world outside

some cursing their fates



some searching for dirt in the water

some sploshing it

some wearing old garments

some wearing unfit



the surliness of the elders

the sadness in the air

the adamancy of not accepting

how happiness could be there



some small some five,

some have just turned 9

they are waiting in the line

expecting to dine




with faces full of innocence


camouflaging the tagered weed

with mirrors of broken hearts

a borrowed pen,a book to read




some re tended for robbery,

some re tended for theft,

some found vagabonding like an orphan

some do not know why they are kept!!!

searching for happiness!

angel!

As I close my eyes and I see ur face, All my melancholy starts to erase, When I play with you; you win my heart, When you smile as I tease; I reach a world apart They say you re- live your childhood with a child I feel I’ve lived a new life with you Your frivolity, your drama your daffy adamancy Your obsession with yellow, your animal-world legacy And as ANGEL you’re growing up, I’m seeing a new you I still can’t forget How it’s similar to the first time I held you! Since you’ve given me new reasons to be retentive I’m sure when you grow up we have this bond strong Il stay by your side whenever you need But you’ll never leave me as you hug me, that’s all I plead :)

a girl like me!

a girl like me!

she sat there outside her college,

 Waiting to be there again

she wanted to be what life had taken from her,

she wanted to live again

 they said she wont have the same life because

she had to be grounded

 at an early age when she had to be glee

she sat across the aisle and weeps

 one day

she was upset and wanted to cry

 she left her house and was kidnapped, 

 she tried to be back and prayed very hard

 she had succeeded and returned safe and sound

 before she could soak in what happened

 a battle she had won

her life she had got back

 and then

 there were accusations and stories and blames

 some laughed at her some said she lied.

 she never replied to haters

 she kept on her own

 and lived with the truth day in and day out

 she made friends with paper,

her diary and pen.

she never cared for what they had to say,

not now and not then

 she gathered her courage and lived like a bird

 and those who knew her

stopped calling her "absurd"

 she's always in to stand by her own

 she has no regrets no reason to moan 

she's happy that the struggle that god chooses her to survive

 made her stronger and wise!

the reality of reality shows!!!

The prime-time shows of my neighborhood aunty Pammi have now been replaced by 3 reality shows.while one channel started a singing show,another a dance reality show and third one a reality show of 10 jobless celebrities grounded at a house with spy cameras.
aunty Pammi was initially sad because her favorite programmes had changed their telecasting timings but later she started to enjoy the not so real reality shows.she told me that the next episode will witness a fight amongst 2 judges regarding difference of opinion.she felt that this was more serious than the "saas-bahu" war of words..it should also be noted that this cat-fight-amongst the judges episode had the highest TRP.
aunt Pammi also voted for the contestants of the dance reality show because one of the contestant Babu came from the farthest village of India and begged for votes on screen.this was the only way his life could alter.aunty Pammi cried that night when she saw the video clipping of Babu portraying how he used to cut wood and earn money for his daily bread.in this video Babu looked at the camera and cried for sympathy.
and now talking about the reality show big loss,heres a short peak at some of the celebrities aynty pammi told me about-

paaki savant-this girl shouts,abuses and speaks English which no one can understand.

bawaal khan-he is an actor.the only one which directs,produces and watches his movies.:D

FAIR-SEXY-FOREIGNER-she is in the house to seduce the audience by wetting in the pool.

useless man-this boy has lost 5 reality shows and after being thrown out from everywhere he is given some place in this house with a condition that he would clean the toilets.

aunty Pammi votes for her 70's actress who has now come here to spend her last days.

aunty Pammi also follows the news and gossips of the reality shows.

my take on this is--
actors on screen are actors in real-life :)
