The Magical tool:Your Poem!

Away from chaos of the land ,I reside in the chasm of my poems! Over the years i have created my own world of imagination where my thoughts wallow luxuriously and with each day they grow more mature and more sensible.I collect them all and string together from my world of imagination on to the paper!This is the description of my Blog and these words sincerely reflect how dear my poems are to me.

     This is a para from one of my poem "Each Poet is Special"

Every Poem of a Poet,

Is special in its Unique way,

Which shines like a Diamond in a Bay!

It speaks the Voice of its Owner,

And reflects the soul of an Epic Holder,

For a poet his Master piece of words,

Touches his Own Heart before Others!!  

                                                                                                                                                                                    
   As the last two lines read,it will not be biased if i say that i fall for my every poem(irrespective of the Grammar,vocab or rhyming mistake if any) and i keep reading them whenever i am low.But out of all the poems i have written till date ,the Gem of My Heart is My First poem, not because it is my First one but rather it is for a very Special Person and it is "Aese hai Mere Maa" (I feel so good that i  wrote my first Poem on my Mom) .I was in Ninth standard then (Eight years down the lane) and i very well remember it was in the midnight i got up from my half sleep or rather not even sleep,went to the other room quietly not disturbing any one around,picked up my diary in which was my collection of all the inspiring quotes.My pen scribbled Maa & again Scribbled 'Aese hai mere Maa' Now i don't remember what inspired me to get up in the middle of Night ,as i don't have  memory of anything apart from this beautiful poem. But Each word of that poem speaks of my Honest Love!. And yes it was a "Spontaneous Overflow But of a Gradual Feeling"And since then began my journey of poems although i was not very Regular for few years until my Graduation first year when i gifted a poem to a friend on birthday which was appreciated by  my batch mates.This inspired me to write another one and every time i wrote a poem my friends gave me positive feedback which ignited my Lost Talent back to Life and since then i have been regular at writing and i feel blessed to possess this skill.

  
About writing POEM!
It is indeed an art, because we humans are born with various emotions,which most of us choose to express in many ways ,of which paintings,dance & Poetry are the popular ones. 
Writing Poem is not my Passion but my Life.No matter whether i am happy or sad but my Poems are My"HumRaaz".
I feel writing a poem is more about connecting to your other self,where your emotions trail in their truest form and if you pick them up with appropriate verse you are Creator of an Epic one!The Beautiful blend of thoughts with words in its simplest form defines a poem!It is Spontaneous Overflow but of a Gradual Feeling which when pent-ted over a period of time comes out carving a beautiful rhyme.It is as natural as a baby's smile and as pure as Mothers love!(conditions applied :P)The world of poems can give a mortal another life,create an environment never so serene and bright .The sparrow there may chip with a Lions roar and the sun & moon may knock on the same door.That's the magic of poetic world.And a poet is blessed to be a part of this hypothetical yet realistic world!


This post is in response to the IndiSpire contest!

Have you ever written poetry? What was your first poem called? Do you believe that poetry is really a 'spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings'?

Dusty Hands! Wandering eyes!Yet a Smiling face?

          Dusty Hands! Wandering eyes!Yet a Smiling  face?

                                  Whats the Tale!                                   

The fresh soothing breeze around was gurgling amidst the setting sun behind our backs with intermittent honking of the various vehicles passing by the front of the road to which we gave a deaf ear as I and my friend were too engrossed in our chat.We were meeting after a long time.She stays in another city for her Education and visits Mumbai after six months or so,yet for a few days.This time she had come for a long time and i was too excited because she completed her MBBS and i Completed OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY!As we both are Medicos we had too much to talk about at that moment , right from planning a good outing, her uncomfortable hostel life,Cases we had seen,annoying seniors,studies,friends,upcoming plans etc.

An hour passed and we were still sitting there unshaken by any noise,we kept talking,laughing and cribbing about regular routine ,Life and our future,until a group of 5 kids came running one behind the other ,singing some popular rap song(i wonder where they heard it),which caught our attention for few seconds though,but we smiled and ignored to continue our never ending discussion.But in the background these kids were firm with their singing while running behind each other,which was disturbing us yet we continued to ignore them.Suddenly there rhythmic chorus turned in to  a coarse coversation"Jaa tere mummy ko Naam bolunga ,Maarta kya hai salay"said one ,Ab main nai dayn leta"replied the other and the fight continued over dayn kon lega??!Pointing at the youngest girl "Ab isko nai lene ka ye kaccha limbua hai"elder ones smiled smugly and the little girl immediately wailed saying"Nai main kacha limbu nai,Mai dayn legi"And the rest of them gave a devilish look to each other,As they had wisely caught a prey.They continued their chor police game around the tree right in front of us and the scooter parked adjacent to it.Poor Girl was running behind her elder friends with a zeal of enthusiasm and her tireless efforts was enough to prove that she is Not a kaccha limbu.In the Meanwhile I and my friend forgot all our talks and kept watching these kids who left us Mesmerized.Enthralled by the smartness of the elder ones and the determination of this little girl,we both kept quite ,smiled intermittently and watched them play!

 As i was observing these kids i saw the layer of mud dusting their body to make it more dusky while they were rolling on the ground,falling upon each other and laughing out loud.I looked into one of their eyes, which was gloaming bright with joy of playing around the tree and climbing over it.Their grin from ear to ear was innocently talking about its satisfaction which most of us don't show up even after achieving a lot in life because we want more. The echo of their Laughter was carving a set of thoughts in my Mind.I kept Wondering what makes them so happy, that inspite of wearing ragged cloth & running around barefoot with no toys in hand brings smile to their face which is unlike the fake one we wear to fool the world when we are silently cribbing over our luck.So,Are they happy because they don't have to worry about the Rat Race in to which each kid is pushed right at an early age.?or Because they are not bothered if neighbor's son got a new i pad?Although,They don't wallow in these luxuries or wish for worldly desires because they don't know if they will get adequate food tonight but it seems they know that they wont get this time again.Their Happiness does not lie in toys/Pc Games to have fun,all they need is "Roti kapda aur Makaan"!Everyone's Defination of happiness varies.There is nothing wrong to aim for more but yes what we need to learn from these kids is enjoying the present Moment by' Being Happy' when you get an opportunity to be happy rather than crying and spoiling it.

             " So, i should learn to be happy when i am suppose to be and need not worry Least i have those luxuries they don't even dream off" I was telling this to myself when my thought was interrupted by a soft low voice of plead "Didi,paisa do na??"and i was pulled back to ruia katta and my friend was staring at me ,her eyes saying "where were you lost'?I smiled and presumed she understood ,then i took out a few coins,handed over to that Girl asking her to share with everyone.She went with fervor to other kids who ran across the road with  joy and soon dispersed far in the crowd.

                The fresh breeze was now more soothing than before and the sun had almost set down waving goodbye to another day,We left that place but carried a memory of those kids playing chor police game.As we started walking back to our home, not to be surprised ,the fulcrum of our discussion was how blessed we are.To Conclude "Aksar Zindagi ka sabse bada sabakh un logon se milta hai jinhe 'Chota' kaha jaata hai"

Types of Pedestrian

                                Types of Pedestrians

No matter what is/has been  your subject of study over the years ,but the overt classification involving n number of types and subtypes under it must have annoyed you at some point of time.But this foundation of classifying things around you can add spice to fun,at the same time make you a good Analyst!How?Well,Anything that annoys you, just add types to it and start analyzing, you will surely have fun.Before i proceed let me tell you what Annoyed rather inspired me to write this Article.The Tale begins from the time i started Driving and quite often i have been trapped in the narrow streets/Lanes of Mumbai where the road is ruled by the people and the vendors, leaving a space that is equivalent to footpath for the vehicles.And worst,you need to keep an ice on your Head and Drive.But since the time i started observing meticulously to categorize these folks to put them under appropriate type ,i started enjoying driving in these lanes.

With an uninterrupted keen observation i come to the conclusion that there are 10 distinct categories of pedestrian among this heterogeneous population of Mumbai.

1)DISINCLINED Pedestrian :Moderate prevalence.Usually found on the the street in which they live.They are the group of people who owe the road ,mumbai ki  boli mein baap ki road hai.Leaving the sidewalk platform they walk in groups (or even if single) in the center as if the red carpet is laid exclusively for them and we have got our cars to welcome them.They are the most reluctant ones among all as 10% among these don't even move on honking.You either have to honk till the ear drums plead or take your head out and shout :'side hat na bhai,sunai nai deta'.And when they give you a side they look at you as if you have committed a major crime.Arguing with them is like hitting yourself because as i mentioned its their Gali .Males more common as compared to Females.

 

2)OPPORTUNIST Pedestrians: This is the Attention seeking Class. Very obvious to be noticed and i hate this group the most. No decent male will fall in this category. They are the Lukkas and lafangas of the street who get excited seeing a female driver and will deliberately come to die in front of your car and peep inside with such big wide eyes of astonishment as if they are seeing an extinct specie drive. Some comment is always expected out of these crooks.There is an observed association of the members of this class with all wrong doings.You have to Ignore them and move ahead. Males Only.

 

3)ALTRUIST Pedestrian: Minimum prevalence. Altruist is the one who works selflessly. This group of people are among the funniest ones to observe. With  one honk they will definitely move aside and will pull ten others with them.(irrespective of male or female)Often their intentions are misjudged and they fall in trouble.Inkay lie toh ye kehna sahi hai"Ay shaikh tu apni dekh".They are good ones as they care not only for their life but also for others. Age group mostly 40 and above. One in 50 usually found.M:F :1:1

 

4)SINCERE Pedestrian:Moderate prevalence.This is the group loved by all the drivers.They are the responsible citizens of the Nation.They walk by the place assigned to them and even if they happen to come in your way,they move aside with one horn.Ye woh log hain jo apne kaam se kaam rakhte hain.City needs people like them as there will be less fights on the crowded streets. M:F::4:2.

 

5)AUNTIES TYPE Pedestrians: This category is exclusively referred for those pedestrian who are imbibed by a typical Aunty type quality. Although speaks about females but certain males also fall in to this category. They are the ones who give a deaf ear to your horn because the world is getting over and they need to discuss everything right at the moment when they are walking by the side of your car. Most commonly found near female shopping streets. They can be associated with disinclision as well. But remember, There is no point even honking, because their gossips are louder than your horn, no matter what, they won’t move ,so better you take a side and move on.

 

6)CHILLED OUT Pedestrian: Most of the youths fall under this category.Prevelance found mostly in teens although cords is trend now(so adults 8% fall here).With cords hanging from ears to torso,wrist bands and low waist jeans covering down the snickers, they will be drowning in the wave of music ,seems they give a dam about their life"Zindagi gayi tel lene type”. Usually found walking in groups. But these people do move aside with a sorry smile on continuous honking. Can be dealt patiently(bacchay hain yaar)M:F::1:1.

 

7)OVER ENTHU Pedestrian: Minimum Prevalence but when they will come to your notice you will be perplexed and laughing at the same type .They are the most unpredictable ones among the entire group of population because your one horn brings about an excitatory response in these. Confusion is their striking feature and they leave you confused as well .They will give you a green signal and keep looking at you till you pass. Another weird symptom is they will step back ,and again move ahead, stepping back ,until you stop the car.Now,this over enthu attitude is for crossing the road or giving you a side is still a mystery.M:F::2:4

 

8)STARTLED Pedestrian: This class is the most dangerous and accident prone. They are the ones who are usually pre occupied with other thoughts or either stressed out. They are also day dreamers, walking in their own merry world. They are the ones who usually don’t know what to do with life when they happen to come in front of a car. They will completely freeze in front of your car, running a shiver down your spine ,as you apply a sudden break which gives a jerk to all the resting arteries’ and veins of your body.Aise logon se paala na paday toh accha hai,khaaaskar Learners ka.20-30% of the crowd falls here .M:F::1:2

 

9)BOLD Pedestrian:Maximum prevalence.This class gets on to my nerves.Usually found in the market lanes or when the signal has just turned green.They will come running, with their hands in 90 degree of abduction with head facing forward and palm outstretched.So ,I also call them congressi pedestrian.They will stop you with their palm ,as if it is emitting red wave to stop all the cars(especially females )& will  cross the road royally.Pedestrians having history of such bold behaviour repeatedly  have close association with disinhibited category50% of the population is a  CONRESSI PEDESTRIAN. M:F::2:4

 

10)ELDERLY Pedestrian: Minimum-Moderate prevalance.They are one of their kind. There can be overlap of the features from the above mentioned categories. But they need to be dealt cautiously with due respect as they prevail all the rights of senior citizen and a wrong move can put you in trouble. They are usually related to the sincere category and are slow walkers. So even if they take time to give a side, be patient. M:F::1:1

 

NOTE:.This article is a reflection of my observation over a long period.The content is purely  objective and can have biased prejudice as it is a one-time observation across a large sample size(population) trailing on streets of Mumbai. Also,Children are not a subject of classification in my observational study .If you want to add on to any  missed observation ,you are welcome to do so.Read and enjoy!

P.S: Even i fall in to one of these type & that is not the Sincere one :P

IPL2014 Fervor#PunjabiShow

                       

              

It will not be wrong to say that" Indian premier league"...all time favourite IPL has added a "dhamakedaar tadka"to the Indian cricket and its lovers since 2008.Each year the Jam packed stadium  speaks volume about its success in entertaining people to its fullest.The fifth season of IPL played lucky charm for the Knight riders and this sixth season has turned all the tarot cards in favor of the Punjabi kudas and the dimple beauty Priti Zinta.The come back of Kings X1 Punjab in this season has been really a worth watch akhir kehte hain na Upar walay k Ghar mein dair hai par Andher nai!They have given a spectacular performance ,a royal come back( yeah I so want them to win this season) and is now standing firm, to be a tough competitor to all Time leading team CSK!Inspite of being a Mumbaikar i am smiling at the plight of Mumbai and i so wish CSk had accompanied Ambani's because i am too bored with yellow and blue jersey at the top order.

                              Well talking of 206 chase(even after loosing viru ) at Rajiv Gandhi International stadium against Hyderabad was match fun to watch.The partnership of the top order batsman was splendid.These young faces & new names in the ear "wriddhiman sah & Manan Vohra" reflects the bulk of talent India is blessed with.Each IPL season indeed finds a new warrior for the Indian team.sahi baat humare desh k pass Talent ki Kami nahi hai! Back to the stadium,the blistering fours and sixes of Maxwell sent shivers down the spine of the Sunrisers and their sun set before the Dusk.But Mishra (from Hyderabad) was lucky enough to take revenge of all the drop(catch)and extra life he was blessed with.chalo Aansu puchay.Somehow it was fun to see Maxwell play!Bailey and Miller made good 52 run stand to roll tears down the homeground .The Rest of the batting order juggled well to put Punjab again at the show and successfully climbed the mountain of 206.Worth watch performance and Preiti Zint's dimple turned so deep that Mumbai Indians could easily drown in it.lol.To sum it up,i dont know how but I have turned to be punjab fan and i hope this Punjabi show continues to rock and is successful in carving their name on this season's trophy.#GoPunjab!

 

RAGE

   RAGE

 As She walks down the cosmic world,

 Why sense of discomfort Harbingers?

 Here ,She Navigates by the ocean,

 Serene is the atmosphere in her presence,

 She dances to the symphony of Gurgling Waves,

 Call of Night angle adds Music to the Rave.

 The Light  of Moon records her every Action,

 The sight of her Beauty Stands in Isolation,

 In the arms of Nature,She esconces Herself.

 Blink! And Vanishes the Freshness around,

 That Royal Spectrum is now Hazy & plumed,

 With  the stench of disgust in the Darkest hour.

 She begins to predict the forthcoming Danger,

 Off being Eyed by the Nefarious Mascots!

 She shudders by the Thought of Being Predator,

 Of the Gannets Who are there to eat her!.

 Feared by the Frottage she Evades,

 High up the sky to Escape Outrage.

 In No time,

 She is Encircled by the Greedy Clouds,

 Lusting around,Like the Casanovas of the town.

 She calls for Help trembling in Grief,

 Alas,But mere silence Creeps in...

 Weeps her soul withdraws into cocoon        ,

 To protect her innocence from the peckish Crook.

 Her Scattered thoughts then scatter Away,

 Like the Marbles Falling on the Floor,
 And Rolling Away.
 She Whispers to Self and Muteness prevails,

 For Her Eminence she rises Sabotage.

 The weak in thy accordance now Roars up,

 And Sharply pulls out Her Wrath and Anger!

 The Lady who was once Oppressed,

 Now,Turns out  to be her own Archer,

 Aiming at the Dirt Around Her.

 The Anguish now Manifests in to Violent Torrent,

 And, Ascends the Journey of catastrophic End!
