I had tramped so many interesting paths, both the famous, and the...

Life, they must tackle
By facing each debacle

Some may use brain

Some may use body
As a superb remedy

When we walk with all
Some may become a pal
Some...

	Standing at the crossroads of my own nightmare
	I want to jump on that train of despair

monopoly of the slim! 

Sinuous and slender
The hourglass figure
The thinner, the better.

Dieting and slimming 
down tricks
ofcourse selling like hot

LOVE ESSENTIALITY:

I've lived for eight years, before I turn nine,
Is there a chance that I'll ever get mine?

I cannot sleep so through the aperture I look,
The crescent shining a marvellous bright

But today, wrathful Cacus set the sky ablaze.
Today, the spectral smoke choked ochre sky mirrors

Today the tarnished jaundice sky measures

when the “dignitary,”
the president or the lesser puppet
stands down from their post
to “write” their book &

My life is a country song
Reminding me about the warmth and frost.
The lush green fields,
The smiling daffodils,
The gushing waterfalls,
The golden rising sun ball,

My life is a country song
Reminiscent of the harvested crops
The pear- shaped rain...

Empty Speeches

Your departure kept 
me in lovelorn.
Am I of tears born?
Whenever I behold 
your face
I find no place to

Should I trace the

Indians are but 
ordinary comedians.
Your smile drive me 
crazy.
To let you go means...

LOVE BIRDS:
We've come a long way in this journey,
And we're never ending this crony.
We had our dreams,
You had your challenge,
And I had mine.
But you brought the courage,
And it's so fine.
I held you with a kiss,
