Purpose

Do I feel lonely at times? Yes. There are so many people I’ve lost while trying to find a purpose of my life, a reason to live, a reason which will give me the motivation, the strength to get up the next morning and start working on myself and my purpose of life, again. I met so many people in my life. I loved some of them, I hated some of them, but I never thought ill for anyone, even if they did for me. Every time anyone needed me, I was there, as a friend, brother, lover or fam. I was there. But most of the time, I was left alone, once I was not needed anymore. The people I loved the most, they abandoned me. I know, that they know, that they were wrong somewhere, and so was I, but I was there for them even at their lowest, but they were never there for me. For a long time, I felt like a left out, like a unlovable person, like a guy who has no purpose in life. It’s really depressing. I just accidentally stumble upon peoples’ lives, give them love and support when they need it, help them and always stand by there side, and when the time is right, when I know they don’t need me anymore, I leave, or should I say, they leave me. All this time, I thought I am a lost cause, without a purpose, but I, now, realise that I’m already serving my purpose. What I never got, I give it to people. Unconditional love and support. It’s okay if I don’t get it back. I do it with no strings attached. I may be a loner, but I’m proud of myself, that I’ve brought smiles on the faces of a lot of people. I know, that they all know, they did me wrong. I did some wrong to them as well, but I always had a heart to make it all up to them again, unlike them. Well, I’m going to keep doing what I do. God bless y’all. Be well! xx

Would You Love Me?

Would you love me,
even when the world
will be against me?

Would you love me,
when my head will be
filled with self doubt?

Would you love me,
knowing the fact that
I have no will to live,
and that I think about
ending my life twice a day?

Would you love me,
even when I don’t
love myself?

Would you love me,
and pull me out of
this miserable life
I am living right now?

But wait,
who am I even asking
these questions to?

You,
don’t
even
exist.

jhalak

Tujhe dekha aaj maine.
Kaafi waqt ke baad.

Ek jhalak mein
pehchan nahi
paaya tujhe.
Aisa din bhi aayega,
kabhi socha na tha.
Shayad sach mein ab
maine tujhe is dil se
nikaal phenka hai.

Waise,
kaafi sehmi si
thi aankhein teri,
Jhuki hui, nazre
churaati sabse.
Shayad mujhe dekh
teri aankhon ne tujhe,
teri bewafayi,
teri dagabaazi,
ki yaad dila di hogi.

Tujhe dekha aaj maine.
Kaafi waqt ke baad.

Khwab

चल मेरे संग,
आ ख़्वाब देखते है।

तू रूबरू हो मेरे ख़्वाब से,
मैं रूबरू होता हूँ तेरे ख़्वाब से।

संग संग प्रयास करते है।
एक दूसरे के ख़्वाब को,
हक़ीक़त में तब्दील करने की।

चल मेरे संग,
आ ख़्वाब देखते है।

Money/Happiness

We say all the time,
Money doesn’t matter.
Money can’t buy happiness.

But deep within, we all know
that we say this
to make ourselves
feel better about
ourselves and our life.

Truth is,
Money is all
that matters,
in 21st century.

Chaos

I miss myself at times.

I miss the person I once
used to be, before that
chaos tumbled
my life down.

A chaos
called
Love.

Short Story

Short story : I’ve always been an animal lover. I used to keep stray cats and kittens at home and feed them all the time. I still do that. But my “actual pets” were Phoebe and Kiki. This cute girl on my shoulder here is Kiki. Oh, and I kept her name Kiki before even that Kiki song came out. Just saying. I used to take in abandoned kitties, foster them and then wait for someone to adopt them. I’ve been like this since my childhood. But last year, something very unfortunate happened. My body developed an allergy towards cats. Imagine you developing an allergy towards something you love the most. Heartbreaking, right? But that’s my life now. My friends have adopted Phoebe and Kiki from me(they’re in bombay now), and now they’re living a happy life. I still pet cats whenever I see them. But now, I cannot keep them with me. Moral of the story is, love the things you have right now, live your life happily with everything/everyone you have in your life right now, because you never know what’s going to happen tomorrow.

Tabaahi

Galti teri nahi.
Galti meri thi.
Ke bharosa kiya tujhpe.

Pak tha dil ka.
Shayad isliye tere lafzon par
Yakeen kar
kafan baandh apne
tabahi ki oor chal baitha.

Aur us tabaahi ka naam
Ishq tha.

New Day

A new day, a new beginning.
Close the chapter of negativity
from yesterday and reboot yourself.
Start afresh with positivity.
