May Be

May be I am not as true as I should be
May be we are not meant to be
May be now my mere glimpse don't enlighten your days
May be both of us have different ways

May be God has planned something else
May be love is yet to ring it bells

May be we are apart for good
May be I am wrong
May be I am not my favorite person any long

May be we meet again or may be not
I will cherish the love you brought

I will miss all the hugs
May be this loneliness bugs
You made my world go round
May be you went away giving wound
I love you and always will
May be you are my thrill

Baby if one day
May be you come my way
I will smile
May be hug you
To tell you
May be I missed you

This one is for the person with whom I was definite not to have a MAY BE relationship, but fate unwound itself in such a way that now we are far apart.

With a hope that no one will have to experience MAY BE in their love life, I wish you all the very best for love.

Prayer

The world is overjoyed with HAPPINESS
Heart wants to dance in JOYFULLNESS
Oh God! Let me feel love again

Her love made my time stand still
Her love is an order in chaos
Her love is a cloud of dreams
Oh God! Let her be mine forever

Her beauty has won my heart
Her love is always in my heart
Oh God! Take care of our love

My heart has found its soulmate
Lets play drumpet in happiness
Lets pray our love never fades
Oh God! Don't let it end

Once again, tried my hand on a sonnet, I hope it will be loved as much as its predecessor.

This prayer is a request to God to grant each and everyone with lots of love. And if due to some unforseen and unfortunate circumstances, someone has lost their love, then its a prayer to let them have their love back. It is prayer to spread lots and lots of love in the entire universe.

Hope yours life is filled with love.

Togetherness !

Verses Of BOY:
I think of YOU and ME
And the idea of TOGETHERNESS
Seems DELIGHTFUL, like heaven
I think of YOUR HEART
Thudding, gently THUMPING
In the SILENCE
And I BELIEVE
It takes TWO to make a SYMPHONY
WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Verses Of GIRL:
You talk of MUSIC and DANCES
Mister! You know, you should know
That life is not a PARTY
And LOVE, is but a LUXURY
You can BARELY afford
Toilet paper and grocery
But, the idea of TOGETHERNESS
Is not THAT BAD
DO YOU BELIEVE IN ETERNITY?

The above verses are both nonnets, and are my special TRIBUTE to this girl who has made me crazily in love with her.

This poetic conversation is to propose her, if I can be hers for the rest of the eternity, to LOVE her and to be LOVED BY HER.

Now all that matters is that I AM IN LOVE with her, and I truly hope that she says YES.

To Love Or Not To Love

Often my friends tell me, that they are confused about pursuing relationships, that they don't know with whom they should fall in love with, and to whom they should keep at bay. Even people who have been married for years, ask me how can they evaluate their marriages, as they feel they are confused about their marriages and their life has become so much mechanical and busy that they don't even give a damn about their relationships, which in turn is making them uneasy. So to simplify things, for each and everyone who is confused, whether 'to love' or 'not to love', here is a failsafe love cum relationship guide. These are the few simple things that you should remember and practice to give yourself a happy life and long lasting relationships.

• If a person wants you, nothing can keep them away. If they don't want you, nothing can make them stay. So, stop making excuses for them and their behaviour. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

• Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better. Never live your life for someone, before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because you were not getting treated the way you deserve, then heck no, you can't "BE FRIENDS". A friend would never mistreat a friend.

• Don't settle for less, if you feel like they are stringing you along, then they probably are. Don't stay because you think "IT WILL GET BETTER". You will be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. The only person you can control in a relationship is YOU, so make the right move.

• Avoid someone who already has a bunch of children, from a bunch of partners. They didn't marry them when they had children, so why should you be treated differently?

• Always have your own set of friends separate from theirs. Maintain boundaries in how your partner treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.

• Never let your partner know each and everything. They will use it against you later.

• You cannot change a person's behaviour. Change comes from within. Don't make your partner feel they are more important than you are. Even if they have has more education or in a better job. Don't make them into QUASI-GOD. They are humans, nothing more nothing less.

• Never let you partner define who you are. You are cut out to be someone unique, so don't try to cut yourself to be someone you are not.

• Never borrow someone else's partner. If they cheated with you, they will cheat on you. Your partner will only treat you the way you ALLOW them to treat you. All MEN are NOT DOGS and all WOMEN are NOT BITCHES.

• You should not be the one doing all the bending. Compromise is a two way street.

• You need time to heal between relationships. There is nothing cute about baggage. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.

• You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. Look for someone COMPLIMENTARY not SUPPLEMENTARY.

• Dating is fun. Even if they don't turn out to be Mr/Miss RIGHT, make them miss you sometimes, flirt with them.

• When your partner always knows where you are, and you are always readily available to them, they take it for granted.

• Don't fully commit to someone who doesn't give you everything that you deserve. Keep them in your radar, but get to know others.

• Scared of being alone is what makes lot of us stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful. You should always believe in yourself. You are the best thing that could happen to anyone and if your partner mistreats you, they will miss out on a good thing.

• If they are attracted to you in the first place, just know that they are not alone. Others are watching you too, so you have a lot of choices. Make the right one and live your life happily ever after.

Take care of your own heart.

I Am In Love !

I wake up and she’s on my mind.

Another subject, I can’t find.

I used to think it was just a bluff.

But now I realize, I'm in love.

I see her and can’t help but smile.

Think of her for miles and miles.

Weak in the knees when she comes through.

I know her eyes see me right through.

I don’t care what people say.

I want to be with her all day.

Seeing her I can’t get enough.

And I can see that I’m in love.

And I silently smile and told myself,

Yes "I Am In Love".

For the first time, tried my hand on a sonnet, I hope it will be liked.

This sonnet is for the girl I am in love with, to let her know the effect she has on me, that how I am truly, madly, deeply and crazily in love with her. This sonnet is to remind me and tell her that I love her. Feels good to be in love.

Ease Out Exam Stress

While exam time can be stressful for you, you need to be careful about your diet and health. Your memory play games with you, your concentration , and stamina tends to diminish. You don't want yourself to be stressed out, so here is how to ensure that you get through the exams well.

FEED THE BRAIN
Food has a direct relationship with concentration, intelligence levels, memory and reaction time. The brain burns fuel even while sleeping, so ensure that you eat a substantial breakfast to prevent a mental fog.

• Stock Up On Antioxidants: Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants and help preserve memory. Vitamin C and E sharpen the brain. Eat broccoli, strawberries, papaya, oranges, sunflower seeds, almonds and peanuts.
• Go Fish: Eat fish twice a day as the brain uses the choline in fish to make acetylcholine, which helps enhance memory power and reasoning.
• B Booster: Include Vitamin B rich foods (whole grains, eggs, lean meats and green vegetables) in the diet to improve concentration and memory.

POWER UP
This is when stamina is needed in big doses.

• Stick To Low GI: Low Glycemic Index foods release energy slowly, resulting in a long lasting feeling of energy. Nuts and seeds, being low GI foods and effective fatigue busters, can be munched while studying.
• Iron Out Kinks: When iron level drop, it results in fatigue, poor concentration and reduced work performance. So make sure your diet includes egg yolks, pumpkin seeds and leafy greens.
• Five A Day: Heavy meals divert the blood supply to the digestive tract and causes fatigue. Have four to six mini meals and snacks through the day, instead of two or three heavy meals.
• Good Fats: Essential fatty acids (omega 3) and Mono Saturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) are effective fatigue busters. So include fatty fish (salmon, tuna and mackerel), flax seeds and walnuts in the diet. Also, the fats in chips can cause fatigue, so say bye bye to them.
• Ration Out Coffee And Colas: Being loaded with caffeine, coffee, tea and colas dehydrate the body and intefere with sleep. So say a big NO to them.

BUST STRESS
Here are some easy skills to beat stress.

• Breathe: Once in a while, close your eyes and just focus on breathing. Your brain should get as oxygen as it can.
• Tune In: Music boosts brain power as it makes listeners feel relaxed and stimulated. It produces a heightened alpha brain wave activity similar to the one found during  deep relaxation and meditation.
• Laugh: Keep funny movies, TV serials or comics in stock. Laughter increases endrophins, lowers stress hormone levels, and activates T-cells, which fight viruses.
• Walk: A 10 minute walk outside is an energy booster. So, take your ipods, mp3 players or fm players, plug them into ears and have a small walk.

The Unknown Metro Girl !

Life as such was quite monotonous, home to office and then back from office to home, the Saturday night party and hangout with friends, followed by full day Sunday slumber. But, 19 January 2013 had something else in store for me and it changed my life forever.

It was quite warm and sunny day, for the winters in the month of January. And as usual, I woke up quite late in the morning, actually way beyond my usual late, it was like super late. As I hurriedly rushed through the morning chores and got ready for work, I became worried and tensed, as I was quite sure that my boss is going to be damn furious on me, for being so late. But, all my worries and tensions were evaporated and poofed away into thin air, as I stepped on 'Yellow Line Delhi Metro' from 'Rajiv Chowk', as she boarded the train with me.

The moment I saw her, I fell in love with her. She is the girl of my dreams, the angel I have been waiting for all my life. I don't know who she is? Or what her name is? But, the moment I saw her, I gave my heart to her. It was my first love and that too at the very first sight. Oh God! I am so much in love with her (chuckles).

During the entire journey, my eyes were fixated on her; I was so much mesmerized by her presence that I became oblivious to every other thing. She was standing at an arms distance from me; her big black eyes, her smile and her aroma were driving me into an ecstatic oblivion.

As she leaned against the pole, to get support, I observed that she is as fair as I am and is about five feet eight inches in height. My heart skipped a beat, and whispered, "She is five eight something, you are six feet tall, and both of you are amazingly fair, the pair of you will make an exceptionally cute couple together". I must have been looking really funny, thinking about her, because she looked at me and gave the most beautiful and cutest smile, I have ever seen.

As the train reached 'INA' station, a seat got vacated and she occupied it elegantly. It was only when she was seated, I noticed she was wearing a coffee colour kurti, dark brown lycra leggings, an inch thick dark brown flip flops with bronze colour straps, and matching them all was her multi colour stole with prominent dark brown and red colour in it.

When she crossed her legs to make her comfortable, I observed that her toe nails were painted bright pink in colour, a fashion disaster if I say so myself, baby pink would have been the best choice, but even bright pink look fabulous on her. While she was looking here and there, biting her lips nervously and flipping through the pages of 'The Hobbit', I was appreciating her lovely hands, although her finger nails were not painted but they were nicely manicured. Her hands were decorated with 'mehandi', which looked very pretty on her fair hands, and I guess I saw my initials written in her 'mehandi design'. Man! I am so hopelessly in love with this angel sent from the heavens.

As the train approached 'Ghitorni' station, she opened her black coloured hand bag which has striped red and black strap, and took her blackberry out, started its front camera to see herself in it. Within next few minutes, she applied lip balm, gloss, and eye liner; all the while carefully watching herself in her blackberry. All this while, my heart was skipping beats and singing, 'CHANDI JAISA RANG HAI TERA, SONE JAISE BAAL, EK TU HI DHANWAAN HAI GAURI, BAAKI SAB KANGAAL".

Finally, both of us de-boarded at 'Sikanderpur' station, she went towards her home and I paced towards my office with her memories which have found their new home in my heart.

Silent Love

Love, the most powerful and constructive force in the entire world, it can motivate us so much so that, we can even achieve what is impossible. And sometimes, to make someone we love, happy, we go to great lengths, which include hurting ourselves and giving ourselves a lifetime of solitude and hatred.

Kani - Angad, I can’t talk to you anymore, it’s not that I am mad at you, it’s just that when I talk to you I realize how much I love you and when I realize how much I love you, I realize I can’t have you and that makes me love you even more.

I try to talk to you, but I don’t know what to say. I am clueless and I am afraid you don’t want me to say anything. So I don’t. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out. And tell you how I feel like, how I miss you, how I love you despite my broken heart, and how I need you in my life. But those words may forever stay in my heart, locked inside. Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too, but I’ll never know.

All I know is I love you today, I will love you tomorrow, and I will love you Forever!!!
