Are they People or Snakes?

We have figured it out wrong.
Bustling on the roads, sipping our coffees,
Smoking cigarettes, partying on weekends,
Spending our money on things that don't matter,
Like the new shoes, or Maybe the new Dress,
The pretty girl with a fake accent is Busy,
busy being anxious about her fashion choices,
because well, she got it all figured wrong.
Yet, she thinks she knows it all,
while hidden insecurities,
she believes her fake personality is top-notch.

So many people in meaningless gibberish
Wishing to stay updated with the world facts,
to become so opinionated that they can interact
about everything that exists,
But what are these opinions for by-the-way,
If the people you talk to, don't wish to talk to you anyway?

And then, come those who wish to align
with the world
Fight for their society, or the well-being,
Such that they are willing to take laws into their own hands,
Use their provoking skills to thrash someone in a  mob,
who did maybe a wrong.
This man squeals "what shall police do in this?
Let's break the arms and make it the news."

Better are those sire, Who don't Speak Much,
Who say it when they know the crowd will hear,
Who talk what needs to be said, instead of,
boasting about the good dimes they have.

You'll find them in the NGOs, or maybe teaching a class of 10,
Some you'll find besides the river's filth, proving their environmental node,
Making agendas and
encouraging youth to contribute for the clean.

Look outside the window, if you will,
you will find so many faces covered with lies,
passing snarky comments to everyone side by side,
bringing others down by saying something witty,
So much that you wouldn't wish to speak,
to all those who are arrogant, and stupid,
So Stupid -- for they are unaware how and where
To use their true potential.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

You can't pass off as 18 anymore, can you?

Woh! I had one hefty weekend with my friend, who I was able to enjoy with after almost three years! Yeah, we met in between the years but it was either for only a few hours or something was upsetting about our life. Well, but this time around we had immense fun. We went out partying, and the next day to the campus where we spent all our time together few years ago, and realized how far we have come. We are two changed individuals, knowing how to carry ourselves in a better way than what we did in college. We can't pass of as 18 anymore, where we had a billion insecurities about ourselves and no clue where our life will go. We never thought much about ourselves and now we have a self-esteem which can't go wrong. Then. (2011) Now. (2017) Do we really look any different? Yet we are! The tattoo talks, the hair color talks and the talks about getting another piercing were not what we talked about "all the time".I was just checking out an article regarding t
