Tea Cup


Right through the morning,
the cups handle was held,
guided to, and fro..

The just made, hot tea,
with its sweet fragrance
tingled the senses within the mob
due to its innocence, power to attract.

Its age neared, as noon approached,
its powerful fragrance started to wither,
it was no more, a child .

Its ever sweet fragrance
had to work its way to charm the choosy mob,
who once found it to be amusing,
for it was then, a Child, no more.

Then as the night approached,
so, approached the cups end.
the wrinkles appeared
as the thick cream started to float

The darkness, it seemed, had swallowed the cup
for all was left in it,
was the dead residue
of the once cared for tea.

Sweet Disguise


The fictive minds,
bring out the false.

The untrue walk, and the charming serenity,
have buried the truth and self ambiguity.

why be me? when i can fool the multitude,
this skillful mask shall take me to higher social altitudes.

I desire and I lie
I cry to cry

I want my fun, I want to fight,
I want to De-mask and get my life right.

This cloaked life
might bring you a cloaked fate.

so, i shall be 'me',
cause my life ain't a masquerade party
and eventually, i shall find the right gate.

when nature decides to sigh.


the deep blue sea
the lust-less eyes
the failing sail
the storm filled skies.

*pause*

the captain hires, the service of hope
the hydro in the deck, quickens time,
all the reminiscent minds, shuffled through the past.
memories of the loved, rammed into their minds
just like a sea, would do to the ship's hind.

and then when the present, gatecrashes
that's when the innocent seek,
truce between man and sea.

why will he ever get it?
is int he the real foe?
nature offered life,
but he choose to grow.
doesn't man deserve a binding blow

back at the sea,
A distant craft, skipped into the scene.
to save the remaining marines
All made it, to the sea floor.

later in the day, the headlines read.
''two ships capsize''
but don't we know the natures myth,
of hiw only death pays for life

It's that girl.


that girl in my class
sent a chill through my spine.
for, all i did was see,
out of fear or disbelief.

not a word, or a touch
just a deep thought or two,
i am a teenager,
what do i do.

i tried and tried to let out a word,
i killed the sound with a long, long sword,
i looked at her flowing hair and the sleek shine.
i looked. just looked and looked.

well, there was a word ,
which scented through her lips,
my heart was thumping at my ribs,
i knew not why, but i ran away,
but when i turned back
she wasn't there.

the story of Manchester fanship- in india.


There was a time when only one foreign club was known. Manchester united. every one was a fan of it, even though they didn't know what it was or for that matter where it was. students and many youngsters thought it was 'cool' to be a Manchester United fan. It acted as a medium of conversation and punk-ship in india. avid fans like I, who really used to follow football and support Manchester whole heartedly by folowing the matches season after season felt good to see the support.

then came the time when ESPN-STAR brought airing rights of EPL. people started watching Epl by chance or to see what manU truly was. people started to see other clubs. and slowly but truly, supporting Man U had become passe. the then Manu fans, who i call 'no choice fans' started hating manU for some reason.
was it cool to do so or did they like lampard, we may never know. these are not the true fans.

so, have you ever wondered why it was Manchester united which was popular before any one watched it?
why wasn't it Chelsea?it is not just because of those innumerable titles(Liverpool had more) but the spirit, that was Manchester united. what we can infer is that Manchester is the club to follow. that is where, the true motive of writing this article lies. In an appeal to all those former 'no choice fans', Manchester is the true club to follow. what can be more stupid than supporting something to become passe

How do you write a poem?


how do you write a poem?
do we make many rhymes?
or mix words and match lines?
and is it as hard as rocket science?

is the diction vital?
or should i feel the title?
or should i find inspiration?

well, writing a poem
is neither an art
nor a short story
and is not worth any personal glory.

poems are raw thoughts
mixed with beautiful words.
to release something from within

writing a poem is all about observing,
the world within you,
the world around you.

if you want to learn it,
this is how you do it.
