My True Friend

The following was written by me towards the end of the year 2007. I wrote it to my best friend and my brother, Sandeep Kumar. Hope you like it.

**My True Friend**

My friend in life, My friend in death.
A bond so strong, proven with every breath.
All those days together and no moments apart,
you 've been with me right from the start.
Pain washes over, everyone has gone,
i run for cover but you make me strong.
In times of trial my counsel you sought,
I will give you my life with no second thought.
You know who i am, on me you can depend,
I know who you are, my brother, my true friend.

Homecoming

Alas! I'm back to this old and desolate blog. Its been ages since i logged in last time. The transition from college life to individual being has had its effects. But now I'm back and with more zest.

Nov 07, 2007 was the last time i penned a poem. I had a grave loss in a friend, and that made me stop writing. Not only writing, i even stopped my second re-mix tape (SuliPhunk 2: My love).
Out of the two lost passions, i guess, the urge to rhyme has reignited within me.

I ll be posting my poems soon. :)

After college, i tripped to Chennai, Pune (a place i fell in love with), and Mumbai. Spent some quality time with my family and old friends. I also gained a whooping 10 Kgs by the end of April.
I rejoined IMS Learning Resources Pvt Ltd for CAT coaching by May, but only after finding a job with Edelweiss Broking Ltd as a sales exec. Life ever since has been a slap on the face.

My job required me to travel around 20kms (one way) to office, in a Cochin City Bus a k a Red Killers, endure dust and carbon on my face, and finally after getting down at the stop, walk again for 15 mins. Job is nothing but servicing clients, encouraging people to join, read research and updates, and in worst case scenario's- do the actual trading in the stock market (Its not for the faint of heart). My job includes a hell Lotta' traveling.

I'm free by 15:30Hrs, and i reach home an hour later. But im not done yet. IMS has to be given due priority now that i cant spend anymore years behind CAT. I return from IMS after 8Pm.
Well, i have no options for myself, do i? Like they say, I'm stuck between the devil and the ocean.
I have to work, as work experience counts in an MBA interview, and I've to study, aint i?

But, now i feel like devoting a wee bit of time blogging and writing fun stuff. So here i am, again.

A Teenage Crush - By me (Back in my school days)

I wrote the following poem after my 12th grade...
Still an amateur then, i lacked some luster in my writing. This one is all about the mixed emotions that come into play in a teenage lover boy's mind.

(A Teenage Crush)
******

Why does she cry out?
others would just swear..
Problem lies where it binds
me in a vicarious snare

Rejigged my heart, just to make me rile
on one meek look at her ricotta smile.
Rickety Rickety did i rhyme
just to spend with her a little while

Yeah! why should i rhyme?
write poems on my mind?
she's the one who makes me
go haywire and i mime.

All for a prank joker
my life's a bad poker.
Twas she who seems effervescent
and her cute dimple dent.

Got me, she has, point blank
dotty me, I've gone mad.
Catchy girlie to my eyes
bless her and say Aye! Aye!

Jinxed me din'cha beauty soul
with jitters on my brittle bow.
Kill me if i ever wont
be worthy of your cosset love.
******

Well, i ll be adding more and better poems soon! Till then,
keep waiting!
:)

(Untitled)

******

As ethos as the sky
Zealous to my life
Incessant mystic living opal
Yearning a meteor a
Attar with its best
Cayenne to Celsius
Sedulous to cavort
is what she is all about.

Revel lady, blotch in my Heart
Sweet cygnet, cynosure
intend will you to fill my cart
with your mastery Sepia-shore.

I am a stupid kismet mule
With you, im a kilo joule
Pivotal, fair friend in life
lady piper, spare my like.

Well comments are entertained...
(Please do keep in mind that i wrote this around 2-3 years ago.. Amateur writing.. Hail! )

Things We Say (And Its Real Meaning)

1.I'll call you
If I ever see you around, maybe I'll say hi

2.It's my treat
I'll be paying, ok ,but I'll be expecting you to offer to split the bill. And if you insist, well, it's your treat then...

3.It´s my fault
If you hadn't done that I wouldn't have made a mistake in the first place

4.The party starts at 12, but everybody will arrive at 1
If you come before 1, you´ll have to help me to arrange everything and I won´t pay you attention
5.I know what I´m saying
I´ve heard that on a TV program or someone told me about it, I don´t remember accurately...

6.The deadline is Tuesday at noon? Got it!
If I work all Wednesday night, I´ll probably finish it

7.I´ve been working really hard lately
I´m taking just 1 coffee/cigarette break an hour

8.You think I´m wrong?
You are stupid! Hahahaha

Seems like United are destined to win the league title this season.

Sambhar of '69 - By Akshay sir

Had my first real six rupees,
Stole it from my mother's purse.
Went to a Madrasi hotel,
To eat the Sambhar of '69.

Me and some kadke dost,
Had it all and we got a bad tummy,
Josemon puked, Jabbar got ulcers,
and Bagga ne maari dakar.

Oh when I went back there now,
the food was as stale as ever,
and though it was 1999,
still the sambhar was being served over there,

That was the worst Day of my life.
(CHORUS)

Therez no use in complaining,
when you got no other place to eat,
rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic,
but he too was at the toilet seat, yeah

Standing there waiting outside,
The nurse told me to will wait forever,
Oh!! and when I held my breath,
I knew that I had to use that loo there

That was the worst Day of my life.
(CHORUS)
Back to the sambhar of 69.

Man I was getting killed,
I was full and restless,
I needed to unwind,
I guess nothing can wait forever - FOREVER... NO!

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I see pizzaz and burgers
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standing there waiting outside,
The nurse told me to will wait forever,
Oh!! and when I held my breath,
I knew that I had to use that loo there

That was the worst Day of my life.
