Barren Land

Another blast from the past, something I found hiding in a remote corner of my old inbox, buried under spam.

The pain in my heart will never go away,
as long as those thoughts hold sway.
Whatever I say, whatever I do,
I can't shake it off, and you?
You want to talk about the mental block!
Just some memories that came back,
looking at those weathered walls, and barren land.
It is the place we used to play, and laugh,
looks so alien and lifeless,
it pains even to look back.

Here I go again

Well here I go again,
been silent for long,
it has been goin' on and on,
someone needs to stand up
and fight the pain.
well here I go again.

Yeah, here I go again,
standing in the pouring rain,
why is it so dark here,
where is the sun gone,
why i am feeling so alone,
its coming down so hard,
rain drops feel like metal shards,
who has mixed the blood in water,
where has the peace gone?

November Rain

It has been raining over here for last 3 weeks, ain't no big fan, but reminded me of rains in Mysore and how beautiful the Infy campus used to look.

So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Kaafir

Khuda ke waste parda na Kaabe se utha Zaalim,
Kahin aisa na ho yan bhi wohi kafir sanam nikle.

-- Mirza Ghalib
