Total recall ...

Though not much of a poet, I've tried to put together lines that rhyme, composing dialogues with self, since my years in graduation. These lines are a culmination of my years till now...

hope you like it...

I have endured,
gloomy rainy sunday afternoons,
post teen addiction to cartoons,
worklessness and pleasure,
money and measure.

A kid’s yearning for a sibling,
vodka glasses tripling,
insomniac phases,
all night star gazes.

Painstaking school, college chores,
indecent dark alley whores,
those imperious cheeky garrulous bores,
sweet childhood crushes and heart sores.

I have overcome,
mid day drippy gut crunching games,
teenage goof-up shames,
family’s list of you should be’s
and inerasable infidel would be’s.


I have lived,
incessant teas and cigarettes,
abstaining lunch breaks,
marathon addas with friends,
without flinching about graduation grades.
Two accidents,
career setbacks,
unfounded ideologies,
fantasizing Maybachs.

Today,
I relish my pragmatic dreams,
whimsical chilly winter ice creams,
the first pair of a now torn Levi’s,
and my small world brimming with positive vibes.

I will live,
to realize everything I can,
move on from any futile plan,
For the smiles of people who love,
and for myself to prove,I am a protagonist.
