My Friend, Loneliness...

Loneliness, the friend I wish I'd never had,
Always with me when I'm blue, when I'm feeling sad,
When I'm sitting overwhelmed by my tribulations, burdened by myself,
Loneliness comes around to keep me company, to offer help,
Sitting with him, I mull over all that did happen, all that is past,
And he always manages to assure me, that this neither, for long shall last,
As he begins to speak, I have my head in my hands,
My toes are nervy, they're drawing patterns in the sands,
But slowly the words are clearer, they begin to make more sense,
He seems to always find a way, even when I'm being dense,
Soon I'm smiling, and I look up amongst the crowd, seeking him out,
But he's gone, all my gratitude, he's left without,
Burdened by his benevolence, for his company, I'm longing soon enough,
And I know where to find him, so once again, I set out to seek waters, choppy and rough...

The Earth and The Moon...

I don't think I'll ever find out,
Why I stare at the moon so oft,
Lying in my bed, from my window I look out,
And watch him brighten the Earth, with his light so soft...

I don't know what the crescent holds,
That I look at and am lost everytime,
I wonder what story he wants to unfold,
Or what that story has to do with mine...

Night after night, I watch him traverse the sky,
His crescent smiles turning to round laughs and the laughs turning back to smiles,
I wonder how they love each other so, I sometimes even wonder why,
His world revolves around hers, and yet, they remain separated by distant miles...

The Immortal Theory

What is being immortal? I mean think about it realistically and with practical relativity.
To a mortal being, immortal is anything that existed before they did and lasts even after they're gone. With this frame of reference in mind, if someone was born one day before me and died one day after, for me, that person would've been immortal...
Simple isn't it?

I find myself talking about you,
When I'm with my friends and we're sipping some brew,
I almost tell them, what to me you are,
In the storm of my life, my guiding star,
And then I realise, it's been long since to you I've said,
Words that I haven't written here but I'm hoping you've read...

So many times that I've said something and meant something else,
For what dwells within, I'd seldom like to express,
So I move on, having convinced you of what isn't,
Suspect me of lying? Hah! I bet you didn't,
But on days like this, when I'm reminiscing on a bridge with myself,
I feel a pall grow within that I just can't help,
For I can lie to you, lie to the world and hold my tears in my eyes,
But I can't hide myself from myself, despite all my tries...

Destiny?

I've been unemployed for a very long time now...keep missing out on prospective jobs for myriad reasons that border on the edge of being hilarious. From being rejected for being a poet, to being told I was too darned suave, the reasons have been worth a laugh. On occasions when these eccentric reasons didn't get in my way, I did. Made the most hilariously basic mistakes in the interviews, ones that make me doubt if I did ever pursue an MBA in Finance from NMIMS.
Which brings me to the next part. I doubt there have ever been students from my college in the past who have struggled to get employed for as long as I have. I mean what were the chances? When I joined, the seniors were looking at packages of 7L+ in the very least...my batch hoped for a little more...but then we were hit by the now-so-famous recession. So the batch struggled to get employment. However, all but me, all of the 420-odd strong, leave me, have been employed.
~Sigh~
I'm not too worked up about being unemployed though, a little bit cause I've got a loan to pay off but not really too much...what strikes me though, is how much the universe is conspiring for me. It couldn't be plain co-incidence, all that has been happening.
Maybe I'm not destined to be stuck in a 9 to 5 job...maybe I am destined to do something else...like maybe write...but...am I?

Sometimes...

Sometimes, all alone, when I'm longing for you,
I wish, somehow, you might be longing for me too,
Cause right then, there's nothing that I wouldn't do,
To see your smile, if only, it were for a moment or two...

Sometimes, all alone, when I'm lost in your thought,
I wish, somehow, in your mind, me too you've got,
Cause right then, there's nothing that I wouldn't do, to bring the distance to a naught,
To see those eyes, that for so long, my eyes have sought...

Sometimes, all alone, when in my head, I hear you speak,
I wish, somehow, my voice, you too do seek,
Cause right then, there's nothing I wouldn't do, to be with you, everyday of every week,
To hear the voice, that gives me strength, makes me weak...

Sometimes, all alone, when my hand lies half open this way,
I wish, somehow, our fingers could be joined in play,
Cause right then, there's nothing I wouldn't do, to rid me of the emptiness filling my days,
And to you I write these words, cause I can't bear these sometimes, forever and for always...

Got back from Delhi and wrote this in the train...the trip was awesome but I'll be able to tell more when I get back to Pune...am still only as far as Bombay. (Not that I'm complaining much about it! Well, I'm on a borrowed laptop so this is it for now. Shall update in detail whence I get home. Ciao!)

Status update-
In Delhi for my ex-roommate's wedding. Will be here till saturday...
It's friggin cold here...and with the amount of fat I have in my body, the chill isn't funny!
The big yellow star sets on this city at 530! It's dark at 6! When I got off the train, I stood in the sun for a good 10 minutes! I now fully understand why so many songs are upbeat about 'A Bright Sun-shiny Day!'
Not my first trip to the capital...though the first time around the temperature was moderate and bearable...didn't like the city at all back then and had very notoriously, gone absconding from my job to run off to Bombay and NMIMS...funny story that...maybe i'll let you in on it sometime...
Oh! And I don't have very good memories of The Capital...I almost didn't come, almost...
But theres the bro-code to be honoured so kinda forced myself to get here...hoping the trip turns out better than it did the last time around!
Well, that's all for now... Shall catch you guys in about a weeks time...unless i get bored and decide to publish from my phone like right now...

Time Machine...

Some songs can take us back in time,
Remind us of when we were just 9,
Some that take us back to the corridors of school,
Bringing back memories when all the boybands were cool,
Songs that bring back the college days,
Remind us occasionally of our wayward ways,
Those songs from when had woken the rebel in us,
To dag nab the worldly laws and all their fuss,
Ah! Then there's that one song from your very first love, the very first time,
That tune, those lyrics, that still sound sublime,
And then that one song that epitomizes all you are,
Captures every hope, every tear, every dream, every scar,
And then one night, like me, when you've got your playlist on,
You suddenly might find your time machine, as you reminisce the days gone by with every passing song...

P.S. Two posts again today...
