Serene waters
zephyr on the face
cloudy wisps
Lush green everywhere
Tangible
the unmoving waters
Overwhelming
the everchanging waves
Avean majesty
ruling the blue,
with a sudden fall
evades the morning gloom
Unrestrained
with a watchful sight
clawing water -
Master of flight
Flying dragons
in blades of green
Rising beaks
in the waters serene
Natural beauty
out of exile
Splendor
Lost in grey

The little boy
There was a time
when i saw a boy
the world was a stranger to him.
As time went by
he walked towards me
watching all the lights grow dim.
All through his life
he fought every fight
to come closer and closer to me.
I tried to tell him
he was headed towards me
my reflection he turned out to be.
The old man beyond
I saw in his eyes
the boy that i once used to see.
His eyes of wisdom
glittering deep black
said something of the very unknown.
I looked for an answer
from the wise old man
for the question i didn't even know.
With a hysterical smile
he turned away from me
and walked towards the unknown sea.
The boy walked on
innocent and careless
his arms outstreached to reach me.
I ran to the old man
with haste and greed
to know whats beyond the sea.
My heart beating with hope
i reached the shore
But he was nowhere i could see.
Hurt and helpless
i fell on my knees
the boy came and embraced me.
We saw a new horizon
beyond the sea
that was where we had to be.
hand in hand
with nothing but hope
we sailed through the endless sea.

Finding oneself
I've heard of all the talk about finding oneself. Some time back I used to think that's all a big bag of bull shit as we all know what we are. I mean, who other than you will know who you are? But now, I've begun to realize that there actually is some sense to that statement... "Finding oneself".
My life has been a very dynamic one. Its changed quite a lot over the years. Whatever I was was determined by what I used to do. I used to act like the way my friends were. My opnions changed with new friends. I started listening to new kinds of music. I never imagined i'd actually like heavy metal. But I started doing somethings that I never throught I might do. I've been through phases of silent child, normal school boy, crazy adolescent, a junkie, a dude, a creative guy, a smart kid, a good lover, a bastard boyfriend, an ass, a fighter, a loser... Man, Im so quite happy with the life I've had.
But through the times I've done things that were so beyond my normal perception of myself. All through those times I thought I knew what I was doing. But now I feel I kind of lack a constant I can compare myself with. Nothing in my life has been the same it used to be. Everything changes. "Everything is so (fuckin) temporary" as my friend says. I want to find something in my life that's permanent. Something that will remain the same forever. By the way I've been I can never know what's gona happen to me a ew years from now. I might find someone I might move to a different places and hang around with completely strange alien beings... who knows? There can be no particular thing or a person that can shake me back to what I really am. No one knows me as well as I know myself. But I don't know myself as well as I thought I did.
When I think on the lines of "I need to find something that's permanent throughout my life. I need to find a constant", I realize... I need to find myself!

My own holiday
Imagine waking up in the morning
to the sound of the rain fall
Bright sunlight dimmed by dark clouds
On a wednesday with a day off.
Imagine covering up again
in the warmth of the cozy blanket
pick up ue cell and call ur love
talk with no hurry to cut
Walk up to the sound of the rain
in the background with four walls
Noticing the rare lovely feeling
of waking up to the morning call
Spend a day with no plans
relax to the sound of your favourite song
walk around the house
with a fresh cup of cold milo
Think about the evening date
relax on the sofa and let your mind waner
smile at the walls and sing aloud with the sound of music
its a rare day... A holiday in my past!

Puppets
Sometimes in life we want things the way we wish to see it. We often forget life is something wherein we need to recieve what we get and build ourselves such that we're happy with what we have. W should grow up to be prod of te people we've become...
Sometimes we try to attach too many strings to the things around us. Now that something happened, we want something else to hapen. We attach a stringto everything that goes on in our lives to something that may very well not happen. "Expectations" some people call it. We do it so natrally and so sub-consiously that we don't realize how many loose ends we have hanging. Every lose end becomes an empty space. A space unfilled becomes desperation. And we'll end up craving for something that we were never supposed to have.
Something happens in our lives, we should try to just let it be. Wai for the things to follow. Learn from things that happen. When we learn we start seeing an overview of things. We start seing more than what we thought it was. But when we start losing control of stuff, we stoop lower. We miss out on things that are hppening above. We'll end up looking at the lose strings. Staring at empty spaces.
Life has a lot to give. We should be brave enough to accept what come. Smart enough to make the right choices. Have a broad mind to see what you're missing. Be proud to be who you are.
The only solace we can get is that no one is perfect in this. Mistakes are the path towards a genius. Scarifices are the path to greatness. Love is the path to happiness. To life... cheers!!!

Dont want snickers
Get special. Do something amazing.
Touch the clouds. Fly.
Kiss the lips of the girl you love.
Continue dreaming...
All that matters at the end is not what others did to you, but what you did to them. As my very good friend once said - "You're here for others". Keep goin through life being just what you are. Go through the same routine everyday. Do the same crap as always. Expect nothing. Things will come to you by themselves.
Ideally it seems totally right when someone says "if you don't want anything you'll get everything". Its kind of illogical because when you want nothing anything you get seems to be something. You say you'll sacrifice chocolates and someone gives you a Ravalgon and you'll be like thinking... "nice". But you keep thinking you want a diary milk bar and someone gives you a munch bar, you'll be thinkin "I never get things I desire". That's why people who desire stuff like Snickers and Hershey's get jacked right up their rectums.

Cedar point - \m/
Crazy rides, hot chicks, dizzy heights... Cedar point just rocks!
The coasters at this place was almost as thrilling as the ones I can imagine. ie., they are goood... The speed of the coasters, the twists and turns and shootups and fall-downs gives you the satisfaction of spending $40.
A mistake I did was to sit in the bigger (so called scary) rides at the beginning. After that riding some of the smaller coasters feels like sitting on a merry-go-round. If I had seen one of those coasters at Dasara exhibition, I would have gone "Woooow man!".
Few of the rides last like nearly 5 mins. I remember this one called 'Maverick'. There was such a huge queue to that. But I even enjoyed the queue. Looking at all the girls around me in those skimpy clothes was just more than what i'd asked for. That queue was almost as long as the Tirupati queue... full of hot chicks - just awesome!
Im definitely goin there again. And im goin to ride each coaster twice...
