An immortal mark

Is my life some kind of playground

I ask to that phenomenon whom people

 generally address as God? ;

Is it simply a random chain of events

that leads to this or in front of You

a warrior needs to give up his sword?

Does it always need karma?

Which completes a circle and is back to me;

B’coz if it’s so, then I know so many who’ve wronged before Thee

They still live wonderfully

They’re as happy as I wanted to be;

I aint cunning and I can’t plot or plan

And I am tired of listening that

heaven’s where I belong;

It’s like showing gold to the hungry

who just wants a few morsels

He doesn’t care for those lovely songs;

I guess it’s time to wake up

from a deep slumber on me

by the worlds harp;

Let simply try and do a little more work…

let’s leave an immortal mark


"when all the doors are closed, simply build one and open it"

Even if it takes a lifetime...

I just take you for granted

I forget how lucky I am...

everything’s on your expense (oh I’m sorry)

I wish you understand...

There are times when I hear

halfheartedly...

and there are times I hurt you

blatantly..

Baby even if it takes lifetime

I’m ready to spend...

I know these things don’t happen

just between friends

And I do respect you

for all those small small things

you think I ignore it...

Oh! but I thrive on it

It’s just awesomely awesome

those things you say..

Marine drive I imagine...

holding your hands in Bombay

Baby even if takes lifetime

I don’t care...

you're that person in my heart

I’m not willing to share

Baby even if it takes a lifetime

I’m ready to spend...

baby its truly my heart

I’ve penned!

Tumhara hona kuch nahi (Language: Hindi)

kyon bataun main tumhe apni baat
jaatao mat jaise doge tum mera saath

tijori band rehti hai
hamesha khulti nahi
ye apne muh ko bhi kehna
kabhi band hota nahi

bas tum sirf kehte raho
tumhara hona kuch nahi
tumhare uunche awaaz main
mera rona kuch nahi

parinda udta toh hai
par hawa main basta nahi
ye apne pairon ko bhi kehna
zameen pe rehte hee nahi

bas tum sirf jalte raho
tumhara hona kuch nahi
dil aisa patthar hai
iss aag main pighlega bhi nahi

khud kuch karna nahi
dimaag toh waise bhi nahi
toh mere kaamon ko samjhna
tumhare bas main nahi

bas tum sirf sochte raho
tumhara hona kuch nahi
tumhare kyalon ke naale main
mujhe khona nahi

bas tum sirf jalte raho
tumhara hona kuch nahi
dil aisa patthar hai
iss aag main pighlega bhi nahi

Leap of Faith

It’s been a while..since i...

Did something new...

It’s been a while....since i...

Said the truth....

It’s been a long time

since I heard myself..

Since I looked at everything

as itself...

A clear glass..isn’t enough..

it’s the sight... that matters more

Just one step... might do the thing

Oh I know how it’s to fight alone

I hear my heart... its beating fast

I guess it aint good to bolt the door...

I wanna fly high in the sky...

Take a leap of faith from the floor

There’s an endless search…

knowing not where to find…

they show the light..

it just makes me blind

there’s too much of noise

Its making me deaf..

Wanna run away..

to the deepest depth...

I wanna know...what is life

Time’s passing by, I wanna strive

I wanna know...what it’s all about

so that when I’m dying..there’s no doubt

It’s been a while..since i...

Did something new...

It’s been a while....since i...

Said the truth....

An unexplored Kiss...

I know you're somewhere wishing for me...
the way I'm wishing you to be...
there is no reason or motive here...
indefinitely I love you my dear..

there are flowers and birds and moon to compare...
but oh! that kiss with your hand running through my hair..
Deep passion and fast heartbeats accompany
and its just the beginning of this journey

how do you feel when I hold you tight?
I feel your lips as we both ignite
with that twinkle in your eyes oh! what a sight
we are reaching the zenith in this mystical flight

That subtle smile which is only for me
and the way with me you become carefree
I feel like having a jump of liberation
how can you just be my imagination?

I know you're somewhere wishing for me...
the way I'm wishing you to be...
there is no reason or motive here...
indefinitely I love you my dear..

Like a Boomerang....

I had some awesome days
with someone...
No matter if past it is..
Oh! they were fun..

And now I've realized
it's in vain I've wished..
Her back with me
'coz thats finished

All now I want is someone
who loves me back...
Oh yeah those good old days
will be back like a boomerang..

Oh yeah those good old days
will be back like a boomerang..

With loads to learn..
I just keep moving on..
thats the beauty of love..
there will be always someone.

Yeah im the drummer
with my heart the drum
Every Eve listens to it
when its played by her Adam

All now I want is someone
who loves me back...
Oh yeah those good old days
will be back like a boomerang..

If you feel lonely and sad
and if you think lifes too bad
Just beat that drum..
and feel that love you had...

Simply think of those good old days
and believe you can have them back
Oh! trust me it will...
just like a boomerang

Oh trust me it will...
just like a boomerang..
Oh yeah those good old days
will be back like a boomerang..

A Singles Valentine....

Darling I’m still waiting on the road,

for you to come along…

Let’s make a journey to remember,

Let’s go where you and I belong

Sweetheart you let me fly

fly just like a kite....

But the strings please hold’em tight

Else I’ll lose control of my flight...

I don’t agree that there’s no divinity

You are the perfect heaven for me

As long as you allow me to reside

I don’t need anyone else beside

Oh I know I’m just imagining

the perfect she in my mind..

but when I meet her I’ll let her know…

Oh! How would i? I’ll be spellbind

I hope your eyes can see through me

I hope you read my heart…

I hope I’ll find you soon

Before my soul departs…

Darling I’m still waiting on the road,

for you to come along…

Let’s make a journey to remember,

Let’s go where you and I belong

Alcheringa motivating the Techniche within me

Alcheringa, my college cultural fest, which I thought would just boil down to pro-nites for a Techniche (my college Technical fest) member like me. Especially after 1^st year where all were friends and there was no concept of a department or it was just for name sake, where all were trying to know each other better and all were supposedly really great, it was difficult to think that there could be a better Alcheringa feel than the one in the first year. I guess it was too presumptuous of me to think like that or probably it was really difficult to imagine college life without certain situations and without certain people. 

Nevertheless Alcheringa for me in my 2^nd year turned out to be more fun than the previous one. Yeah I know how it feels to be a part of a big fest for the first time. I know how the new feelings have a very special place and how it is unforgettable. Despite all this I felt that my 2^nd year Alcher weighs more than my 1^st year. I am really wondering what is making me feel this. Was it the magnitude and the participation this year which was 10x better than the previous year? But it couldn’t be could it? I’d have to be a core team member of Alcher to feel that way, I was just an audience. So what was it that made me feel this way? I certainly had lesser friends than my 1^st year so that isn’t something which I would be energetic about but I guess I got my answer the night I was tired after organizing an event called Eatopia in this fest. That night I had deep and sound sleep and woke up in the morning all fresh. It felt great! I wondered, after JEE how many times have I woke up in my room in my college with such freshness? I think I hardly have. Definitely I became less obedient, less sincere and less hardworking than my JEE preparation days and now there was seldom a time where “real” studying made me “really” tired which ended up in strong sound sleep.

 So, it was ultimately that work which I performed as an organizer in Alcher for which I am ready to lower the bars of those maiden feelings as a first year as well. Weird isn’t it? But the revival of JEE days makes me happier, actually, happiest! Ofcourse my life doesn’t end after JEE or something that I can just look back and be happy but well to be frank till now I haven’t even experienced something very magnanimous in my college life to compare it to the level which JEE preparation days have in my life. Be it with respect to the sanctity of JEE, the level of the teachers, the kind of friends or the kind of enjoyment I had during JEE prep nothing stands even close to it. But yeah this work of organizing an event not only gave me that sound sleep but also a lot of small moments with big impacts. 

Firstly, thanks to this event I met one of the most interesting people I have met in my college. Such a person whom I’d imagined being in my batch as my friend irrespective of our department or aims. Well but life’s full of surprises, this guy turns out to be my junior. Although he’s very innocent to be with someone like me but well then which senior doesn’t think of his/her junior to be a kid. May be not always but as seniors we have our moments. So, yeah I was really glad to come across and interact with people like him and hell! I crave for more of such sorts. 

Secondly, the event in itself was so interesting that it made me feel ecstatic! Also, on the second day of Alcher when I was completely free I randomly decided to participate in “So you think you can dance” event where the prelims comprised of impromptu dance whereas, I had actually gone to watch Electric heels to cheer my college dance club. To my astonishment out of more than 70 participants I got selected for the finals in the top 15 (I guess). This was so random and it felt awesome! I was wondering what I should do for the finals coz there were many good classical dancers and others who had prepared in advance for this event. I realized I cannot win the finals so in the end decided to do some crazy weird dance and enjoy myself fully. I did what I thought I had to and had one of the best times in these few days. Also thanks to my useless co-organizer ;) who was such a sweetheart throughout. Overall Alcheringa leaves me happier, confident and with a whole new level of energy ironically to work better for Techniche. \m/ :D

A musical affair with Anoushka Shankar

With excitement and anxiousness re-filled in veins causing the heart to beat faster every moment, I walked towards the pro-nite stage with one hope, that I get to experience MUSIC and Hell yeah! What an experience it was! The warmth of the harmonics flowing and oozing out of every instrument made me forget how chilly this spring night was. Anoushka Shankar, daughter of Pandit Ravi Shankar, was present in my beautiful campus in a simple yet elegant Indian dress to enchant us for the next one and a half hour!

I found myself a chair and all I could do is just wait for that goddess to appear. The moment neared with the stage flooding with many coloured lights and there she was with her entire team! From the moment her fingers touched the Sitar I couldn’t help but close my eyes and turn my head at an angle to let my ears realize how lucky they were to experience divinity! Her fingers tirelessly moved across the whole of the sitar with both her hands working independent of each other creating vibrations which could make you float in the sky.

Those expressions which spoke so much in themselves were a treat to the eyes. 

That smile, sometimes because of her love for her work, sometimes to have fun with her companions on stage and sometimes because of the cheer of the audience, was creating its own genre of melodious harmony not audible but simply visible. The exquisite blend of Indian music with flamenco was filling up the air with romance, passion and love. The high pitched sound of the Spanish vocalist reminded me of the background score of the movie Avatar where I had once wondered how can someone reach to such high pitch maintaining the melody, harmony and the very intensity of their voice? My question surely disappeared tonight but my wonder remained. 

The Spanish guitar player had surely won the hearts of all the girls there with the evident cheers coming from the girls while he played his part. I have forgotten the names of certain instruments used for the concert but can never forget their sounds and how professionally they were played.

The Tabla, Shehnaai and the earthen pot were like sone pe suhaaga (assets) with the sitar there. 

One interesting instrument (percussion) was one in which the player was actually sitting on it and playing it in many different styles.

One interesting instrument was where the player was sitting on it and beating it.He’s claimed to be the worlds best at it and indeed it felt that ways. After the jazz, flamenco and the pure Indian classical music the piece Lullaby reminded me of my mother’s tender arms with slow beats and soothing music plucked from the mighty sitar and the rest. I realized it was past an hour only when Anoushka Shankar herself announced the climax of the concert with her last raga which was pretty interesting. Her own composition which made a true dancer tap his feet and a true lover of music travel unknown places. Here limelight was thrown on every player individually which was an unforgettable experience. I had taken my camera with the hope to capture the whole concert but my senses were so mesmerized that I couldn’t think of anything else but music. So Alcheringa (Cultural festival IIT Guwahati) begins with a bang and I can just “impatiently” wait for the announcement of Blitzkrieg to be mesmerized once again!
