The Sad Clown

You say he makes you laugh,He knocks out your gloom with a staff.You say he is so so funny,He makes your life all bright and sunny. Little do you know,behind his smile,Each night he cries a river,cries a Nile.Behind his bright shell,all colorful and crazyLies a tragic story,all dark and hazy. He hides his sorrow,his plight.Tries to hide away,fly away on humor's flight.He smiles,but deep within,his smile is all upside down..Know him well,he is your...

What next????

So finally my'short' story is over.Frankly speaking,I don't think I would have tried my hand at it.But Saru Singhal  insisted that I do.And I thought,what the heck,let's give it a shot.Problem is,it seemed to me that my story needed at least 3 chapters in order for me to do it justice.But,still,it was a different experience trying to condense all that into one relatively short composition.Sometimes I feel like Karan Johar who can't do without 3+ hours to tell a story properly.:-) I wanted to be able to write something which will touch...

PoemVille

You just know you are suffering from an acute case of Writer's Block when you have been unable to proceed with a story you have been toying in your mind for two weeks now.I dunno when my neural networks would fire up again,so for now, let stories take a rest.Let's focus on something else here.Poems. :) I am a bad poet.My poems are meant for seven-year-olds who think rhyming is still cool. The thing is-without rhyming,I can't write a poem.It doesn't make any creative sense to me.Why....I would rather write prose in stead,if I am not rhyming.A poem...

Life so far

I am a smart guy.It's just that I specialize in making highly unsmart choices. First,he makes me slog my ass off coming up with smart choices. Then he goes right ahead to do exactly the opposite!Hmppph!! But I make some accidentally good ones too.Just like my decision to join Infosys,straight out of college. This Friday,my stint at Infy ended.It was a 3 years 4 months stint.And just like anything that stretches that long,it had its fair share...

Gone sense Nonsense

Whole of tinseltown is abuzz with the news of Ekta Kapoor hiring Raam Gopal Verma to direct a new movie.It is going to a romantic comedy.Balaji Films,the banner under which Ekta Kapoor produces her movies,has reportedly paid Ramu a whooping sum of ten-crore rupees to get him on board.It's a different matter that most of that 10 crores consist of fake 1000 rupee notes circulated from a certain amiable and friendly neighboring country of...

The flower and the bee

There she was-pretty,yellow and bright, But her tiny heart wasn't quite feeling right!!! She was a sensuous sight,an alluring flower, But for no fault of hers ,her mood was sour!! Her smile gone,she had no pleasure,no glee, 'Cause none visited her-not even a single bee. Angry and alone,she one day asked a passing bee- 'Is my pollen and nectar not sweet enough for thee?' Surprised,the bee answered-'You're gorgeous and grand, Proudly and bewitchingly with spread petals you stand! I would have gladly sipped your honey,dipped into your juice, But then...

Love and other bugs-Part II

For Part I,go here "So just what made you want to top the MCP Hall of Shame,Mr.Crow-Shit?"Ankita sneered at Rohit.They were at the Food Court as agreed,and apparently Ankita didn't want to waste time in pleasantries. "The same thing which made you join the Bullshit Bitches Company," Rohit smirked."And BTW,you must be darn fond of the word 'shit',mustn't you?Ro-shit...crow-shit...make me shit in my pants???...blah blah..You sure got one stinky mouth the size of a football fie.. " "Shit deserves shit,"Ankita left his sentence hanging mid-way."And...

Raped

Painfully,he digs his fingers into my arm Fear seizes me,I know he'll cause me harm His eyes are hellish,shining with cruel lust I can feel tonight he'll turn my body to dust Rudely like a beast,he throws me on the floor My clothes,body and soul,he violently tore Clawing and ripping away my tender parts, He riddled my heart with poisonous darts. He beats me up,terrorizing and horrifying me Powerless before him,I helplessly fight to be free He is using me and my body without permission My shamed body hating itself for its submission He leaves...

Love and other bugs

Love and gals never made much sense to Rohit.They were to him what modern abstract art is to the vast majority of people.Meaningless and over-rated. Rohit of course was never alone in this.Just like a million others from Mars,he was totally clueless and confused regarding what made a Venusian tick.Failures might be the pillars of success but where women are concerned,there are probably too many pillars crowding Mars right now.Success just has no room left to breathe on that god-forsaken planet.Hell,it won't be too surprising if it has packed...
