Breaking Away...

It was a formal party
I entered wearing a suit
When looked across the room
I found people were so mute
There were no smiles
No tears were there either
Suddenly my phone rang
I picked it up and laughed
Laughed and howled
And howled and laughed
All the eyes turned towards me
I was like a devil in disguise
I saw anger in their eyes
I swear it was rage
I also saw some fear
They couldn’t hold their gaze
I opened my mouth to speak
And said
I am not mad, are you???

That is not the way it is
This is not a way to be
To laugh and to be merry
Is a kind of a catastrophe
Medusa had the last laugh
Nobody laughed since then
She was a witch so that is that
No one can claim that again
If you do you’ll have to burned
But you can tickle yourself free
If not Medusa then Meera be
Because either has to be the case
For ‘learned men’ for ages now
Have propagated this maze
Being any one gives the liberty
To laugh like someone possessed
As otherwise it is just you and me
You and me at our best
But I am not mad, are you???

I am no witch not even a saint
Though I like Krishna and even snakes
Because he is a God I like him not
But it seems he simply lived his life
Remember I say ‘like’ not worship
Because that is exactly what I imply
I am just me and no one else
And I sure like to chuckle
I roar and shriek and scream and howl
I snort and grin and burst and guffaw
I care not whose eyes curse me
I care not that I am no man
I am a woman both in and out
I am a woman and I still dare
Cast away this cliché you freak
Categorising us into – the old and new
Again I open my mouth to speak
Again I say
I am not mad, are you???

FREEDOM

Millions of days have passed away,
Many more months have gone by,
Still this ‘cultured’ society may,
Never stop asking ‘why... why... why...’

“It is not natural...
Stop this fashion...
What is this fusion?
Get out of this delusion...

One can’t live like this...
This is not allowed...
What will the people say?
Oh come on! Don’t frown...

This is not our culture...
This just flew from the west...
Just agree to what I say...
And forget the rest...”

Love is passion...
Love is blind...
But in the name of fashion,
When did it become a crime?

How is it against god?
Who is it, who decides?
Punishment comes in the form of a rod...
Only ridicule is what one rides...

A touch is still a touch;
A kiss, still a kiss...
It actually is too much,
When people their desires miss.

Stop living in clutches...
Stop it now, it’s high time...
Let them live in peace...
Leave them, it is their life...

CHAOS

Years ago, once upon a time,
There lived a prince, named Crime.
He was not born, but chosen to be
As he was the only one who was so free.

He picked up a girl, later threw her aside.
Be it a virgin or it be a new bride.
He blew up places, that was his thing,
That is why everyone chose him the king.

He did not fear, he never cried.
Not even if he was served a human head fried.
He just barked though he was not a dog,
Nor he was that prince who once was a frog.

Devoid of emotions, of a heart and a mind.
None did I ever meet who said he was kind.
Be it little children, women, men or people old,
He was nothing to them – nothing but cold.

He cut, he stabbed, he also did kill.
Blood - only blood gave him some thrill.
Red is generally the colour but his was black,
Nothing could change him to send him off track.

‘Preserver’ was what he claimed to be,
Trained in torture actually was he.
No one could talk, no one could speak,
Rebel against him? Nobody had enough cheek.

It was a daily occurrence,
Daily was the disturbance.
Some did enjoy,
But most did nothing but cry.

He moved all alone, nobody even close.
When he glided along, everyone just froze.
Now is the time, get up and unite.
Unite together as now is the time to put up a fight.

To buy or not to buy???

It is a kind of a universal fact that women love shopping. Well, whats not to love??? :-) I mean is it our fault that women have a diverse range of products??? No!!! 


Question: Say a guy walks into a shoe store what will he ask for? 
Answer: Sneakers, formal shoes, floaters or at the most chappals.


Question: What can a girl buy in a shoe store?
Answer: Flat boots, high heel boots, ankle length boots, knee length boots, calf high boots, pointed toes in boots, boots with a zipper, without a zipper, gumboots etc. And this list is only about the boots. There are other kinds of footwear(with a lot of choices) too. 


My point here is don't blame women to be shopaholics. When there is so much in the world to buy, why resist? And besides don't men like to dress up and look good?  All those men who just nodded in affirmation, I guess its time for to come out of the closet and admit to the whole world that secretly men like to buy new stuff new. Don't know what to do about it? Well for starters follow my lead... Stand in front of the mirror and shout out loud - I AM A SHOPAHOLIC!!! See that wasn't difficult...


:):):):):)

P.S. : Writing all this makes me crave to buy something. So off I go...
