Ode to Bangalore

If I had to lead my life without you O’Bangalore, my life will be Delhi, my days will be hotter
If I had to lead my life without you O’ Bangalore, my life will be in Delhi, my monsoons will be wetter
I will save money and travelling woos
Let me also say this to you
Nothings gonna change my love for [...]

A Bad Mother

Woman you are bad;
No guilt; You are Bad;
No pangs as you let your child die ;
In substance fang;
Woman you are a bad mamma;
Knocked-out she was;
She must have cried out;
“Help me mamma”
You, a bad person;
Served in prison for slaughter of a man;
Your child deserved to die; In the hands of a lustful man
 It dont matter if [...]

Simple

Simple life and a Simple joy
Simply speaking a simple ploy 
Simple colors simple talk
Simple song and a  simple folk 
Simple rhymes that I know
Simple us and a simple vow 
Simplicity, uncomplex
Easy going and unperplexed 
Unsimple mind but Simple thoughts
Simple children and grownup fought 
Simple truth and simple facts
Simple gestures and simple acts 
 Its not that hard,
its not that tough
Its not [...]

Delhi:- My Home

There flows a river
And by its side there’s a world
Dilapidated, tightly knit
Yet on the outskirts of what we call a social limit
There I see elephants and a little further a new city
Come little closer, and I see the ruins of old age
And also broken bones of our victory
People jostling and moving for livelihood
People unknown and [...]

Pyaar ki Adjustment

Last evening Ulsoor lake jaake
 Pata chala, pyaar mei log kya kya karte hain
Sade hue Paani ki Tanki ke pass baithe
Jhoothe wade karte hai
Inse milie, ye hai Rajnigandha
Dosa IdIi khati hai
Aur nariyal tel se sehat banati hain
Aur ye hai, unka haath thaame hue
Ashwaak Mia
Biriyani khate hai Aur
Saans ki durgandh Orbit se chhipaate hai
Pyaar kya kya nahi [...]

My Friends

 
When He sent me to my mothers lap
I grew up too fast to raise my hand
With which I held my dad’s fingers
His touch and his scent still lingers
With tiny hands and trying feet
I kept growing till the lap became too small
And the grip of his fingers too lose

I was sent to a world full of [...]

Ghummakkad Gang Ki Holi

Holi ka Maza

Holi ke Pakwaan,
Gujia, Kachori aur Holi ke Gaan

Rang, Gulaal, Abeer laal
Bhang peeke chale hans ki chaal

Gubbare, Pichkari, Bachho ki phulwari,
ghar ka aangan ho ya phoolo ki kyaari

Dekho zara, chuke na nishsna
Holi hi sahi, hai achha bahana

jakdo, pakdo, lagao rang
reh jai dekh ke sab hi dang

na chale pata kaun hai kaun
kaun hai hero aur [...]
