The light of life


You are one of a kind
You give me glee
Come back my light
Come back to me

You stayed with me
In times of need
Asking for you now
Is it greed?

I know not
If you feel the same
I know not
If you find it lame

You gave me comfort
You gave me the warmth
You showed the way
Whether you knew it or not

You stayed there
Whenever I needed assistance
You still do
Albeit at a distance

The little flame you were
A depiction of undying hope
Inspiration is what you gave
So I could always cope

Your absence has left
A space dark and empty
That cannot be filled
By any bounty

You are one of a kind
You give me glee
Come back my light
Come back to me

Brilliant.. Just brilliant.. You have been extremely careful in choice of words.. There is a beautiful sync between the meaning and rhyming..

It does emote :)

Good work.. had to refer a dictionary though :) A special credit if you had done it without any reference..

Thanx Hari!
There's a little more than what meets the eye though... :)

N about the reference, I did refer a little to be sure of the meaning in a couple of cases; so I could probably take a portion of the special credits. :)

The Promise

I promise not to speak I promise to stay quiet and listen To every word pronounced And stay a kitten. I promise to help you I promise to stay I promise to wait For more than a day. Take your time And take mine too For the love we have Very few do. Take me to parties Take me to your friends’ Smile I shall From both ears’ ends. Be the good one, I will. Less talk, sweet smile Looks that can kill. The brand manager Of today’s man. Thy spouse Thy fan. Speak as I will Only on occasions that mandate Speak as I will Only on that particular date. I promise to be by your side In every endeavor. That I abide. But please, do me a favor. Don’t ask me to speak For I shall not. Never after you told me not to Never after we fought.

In the Mariana Trench lives a kid...

Deep within every individual lives a kid, an innocent child, in his/her most beautiful form. It is this child's manifestation that we see getting expressed every now and then when we see people around us getting into a euphoric state over seemingly minor issues.. We see so many grown-ups acting in a childish or child-like manner. We don't, though, see it happening with everyone; and ofcourse, not all the time. Does this mean it is only in some that this child-like behaviour prevails? Not at all! It is important to understand that the reason for the lack of child-like behaviour in many is not to be attributed to its absence but to its suppression (which is not always intentional). I am sure most will agree with me when i say this. How many amongst our friends and acquaintances through the years would we have met who make us think of how child-like they behave very often? How many have we come across who we saw carrying themselves in such a sophisticated matured way who at some r...

3 Idiots

A mixture of Chetan Bhaghat’s Five Point Someone and Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull , the movie dwells around a college rebel, who just sees things differently from the others and hence becomes something like an outcast; just that, in the modern world, some find it amusing and hence join hands with him in his acts. Of course, these are not really encouraged by the money-minded (no offense) parents, who have been brought up in such a society, whose upbringing and the so-called society has taught them that money is everything in life. The ultimate goal, and the destiny, and any other synonym you can find for it. The first half of the movie is basically “(A boy’s) Life at a Top Engineering College”, with all necessary details of a common student’s behavior in the dorms and the classrooms and outside. It talks about all the pressure kinds – faculty, peer, parents, ragging and stuff. Just like the novel, these incidents are also not given in unnecessary detail, but given in jus...
