Help yourself

Help yourself
My friend, help yourself…

It’s a wonderful world
But you gotta help yourself

A rollercoaster ride… this life
My friend, a rollercoaster ride

Hold on to yourself
These rides go high n low
Crazy sights on the way
You might lose the flow…

Just be yourself
My friend, just be yourself

Don’t lose out on the opportunities
They don't come easy you see
You gotta buy your every moment here
Everything’s a deal, nothing's for free…

Move on from this junction
My friend, just move away from the old function…

Friends, jobs, relatives, marriages don’t happen here on their own
The water has always somewhere, flown
The sun shines here daily
So you see, you gotta face the world gaily…

Pick up your luggage
Walk your way,
Help yourself
My friend, you gotta move on everyday…

Was I...???

His breath blew away the hair on my face, I stared in surprise, scared, calm....but felt my heart race... My hand in air.... confused… as I didn’t want to hold him, He came even more close to kiss…A sin! My eyes closed…scared and bewildered, But he very well monitored… A tear rolled down my cheek, I couldn’t.... But my eyes did speak.... Felt the breeze on my face, As also his hand went through my shirt in slow pace.... I shivered, but wasn’t cold, His hunger grew, for me to hold… My stomach twitched, As his hand lingered.... The shiver grew, As I gave up and surrendered.... The shirts came apart, as he threw them over the sack, He struggled further on my back... The restless hand unhooked the last piece As he picked me up to take me under the sheets... That tongue licked everywhere, Tasting my every drop of sweat... I gazed in pain and despair, As his throne moved inside, defining a ruthless death... With time I saw the feelings end, The touch tearing me apart, I hate his scent...

In demotion...

I could not decipher the subtle... Emotions spilled everywhere through the bottle... I was high in the gutters... Time running through the middle of my fingers… I was walking through the rain Just being insane... Clothes wet and clinging on to my nave The water kept draining through my hair... A gross thought kept clinging on to me, of wanting to be a slave A slut savaged to grave I hated yet loved to find myself alone No place to hide... A desperate soul... Wanting to be satisfied... Heaven ran out But the Hell came calling… A sight of a handsome figure So electrifying... A face so familiar Yet unknown I pondered to think if this, I had known Straight cut jaw lines Thin lips... His eyes narrowing He stood facing me while it was dawning A suave animal I wanted to grin, but I was frowning A dark slender silhouette so crude I thought of playing rude One touch would torture the hell out of me... But still I let the time flee Arms cut out to perfection I tried to move out of his attention ...

"Life is a river they say. No matter what, a river always turns, goes through ups and downs and never stops to move on!” ‘Life cycles’, a documentary on cycling, is something that moved me a lot! This apparently was shared with me by my elder brother, an avid cyclist himself. Cycling didn’t happen to me just like that. I was always skeptical at the beginning; thought cycling was to be done only during school days. I’m grown up now, cycling would be just stupid! But no, it turned out to be more fun than earlier! Trust me when I say that, the moment you know your effort is making you go faster, become a kid again, cut through traffic and sweat all the anger out: All of that just makes you want to cycle more! The wind on your face feels much much better than that while riding an Activa! I was inspired by my brother’s stint and that’s how one fine day I got the bike out of the rubble, dusted off some cobwebs, oiled the chains, fixed the gears, bloated the tyres and made my m...
