no time 2
i had no time
to stand n glare
at that girl
who was standing there
i had no pity
for those pieces of clothes
which in place of dress, she wore
or those tired eyes which bore
tears dried up with mud n dirt
or those cries she was uttering
begging for alms, the poor thing
i didnt see the baby who
was tied up to her bony skin
or bother to wonder if it was
her brother or her own son?!
i had no pity
for those wounds
her master's present,
or her mom's?
i would spend lots n lots
on silly things
dat no matters more
but to give a penny
to that girl
is one little thing
i wont do
i wont think of myself
in her place
i have no time 2,
dats my claim
coz i m blessed
in every means
if she is not
its her fate
i might party
i might tour
but no time to see
if my sis had her food
i m no different than any other
living in this hectic world
blind to see the sister near
in the race to conquer the sphere.!

hold my hand
i was moving in a crowd alone
everyone else moving in groups
u came beside me, held my hand
said,"hi! lets walk along"
u said that i was not cool
u said u had the proof
u slapped me when i cried n said
"its all ur fault u idiot"
u laughed at me when i was ill
u said it didnt matter a bit
but i could see yuor eyes get wet
when i couldnt get out of bed
u never said i was ur friend
but ur eyes told it often
u shared ur dreams, u shared ur pains
u showed me the gal u love
like every other day u came
held my hand in ur hand tight
"thanks 4 being my friend", u said
i wondered why such sweet words u spoke?!
we walked along, really long
but i felt something wrong
you loosened your hand from my hand
i could see you hold another hand
i ran along, i thought i could
catch up with you very good
i held out my hand to reach ur hand
but u were loo long far away
now i am streching out my hand
waiting 4 u to hold my hand , n say
" U ll die falling from the cliff
hold on stupid, i am here 2 help"

got up at 12 o'clock noon hearing my mobile ring. diverted the call to automatic answering mode and started to sleep again. but no, i couldnt sleep again ,cursing the caller got up from my bed, switched off the AC, brushed my teeth, came near the windows, opened it and peeped out to have a view. Tha gardeners were busy watering my roses , trimming the bushes, birds in the fountain.I smiled and closed the window...
Near the window were three buttons. I rang the 1st n 3rd buttons.. The manager n gauriamma appeared... gauriamma arranged my table wid juice n sandwich. Manager came n said,
"Mam someone needs u on the phone".
"hmm?". he handed over the phone.
"helloe?". i could hear heavy breathing sounds but no reply.
"HELLO?", i shouted.. no answer.
"The man is deaf?", i asked the manager.
"he didnt sound like one, mam". Then suddenly my phone began 2 shiver
"mam,mam..."
"wat do u want, u deafman?"
"mam, i not deaf... i couldnt believe that i was hearing ur voice...."
"yeah yeah.. enough.. temme , wat u want?"
