Satyam Infotech

We have been reading in the news,
And viewing television's breaking Line
About all those who have lied
And been caught in their lies,
Now they are paying a great price
For all those they have hurt.
Not only have hurt themselves,
but the world
Who had faith in their Integrity....

I want to be a fog.

I want to be a fog, dark, gray,
Billowing like smoke from a large bonfire.
Blocking sights from being spotted.
Stopping the sun from rising in the morning.
The largest of light reflects off you.
The smallest, however, cuts through.
Be a shapeless, odorless cloud of vapor.
I want to be a fog.

Inspiration from Newton's law....

The story
goes like this…
There is an apple, and
there is a tree. “The apple, ” it
is said, “does not fall far from the tree.”
So why is it…when I look up at the tree,
that has shaded and sheltered me;
Why don’t I see apples?
When
I look
up,
I
see
instead,
a glorious nut tree.

Own creation: A story

The story of my life,
Is the story of today,
It's the story of tomorrow,
And the story of yesterday.
Every waking moment,
Is a surge of pen to paper,
To create a whole new life,
A life to which I favour.
Yet from this page arises,
A world of new ambition,
The compromising irony;
I am my own creation.

My Real Dad

He is not my father,
the one who gave me life...
He is the one who helped me,
when I was burdened with strife.

He is not my father,
the one who walked away...
He is the one who loves me,
more than enough to stay.

He is a real person,
who is never left me sad...
He is not my real father,
But he is my real Dad.

Mumbai Wedding: An Obituary

Familiar signal for all to gather and bless
All rejoice but eye brims with unshed tear
Two become one, but grow more not less
Farewell to hearth draws ever more near

All rejoice but eye brims with unshed tear
The signature droning sound of shehnai
Farewell to hearth draws ever more near
Plaintive notes waft sweet and high.

Thanks for giving me my moon....

I am free
from all the things I have done to me
I am free to fly
to spread my wings and soar the skies
I feel my heart has come to life
I feel as if I must be high
for I have never felt this way
what is this thing that liberates?

Success......

is the answer.

I thanks Allah for all he has done to me,
thanks for giving me my moon....

My First New Car

I will never forget the day I bought my first new car,
And had a date with a girl that lived not too far,
We drove out into the suburbs and parked under a full moon,
And listened to the car radio play a brand new tune,
And if my neighbour would ever ask who the girl was,
That was in the car,
I will tell them it was my late mother
who's on her way to heavenly abode,
The day I bought the car.

Ayesha

Thank you, sister,
for being there
And letting me know
you will always care.

Thank you, sister
for loving me so
you helped me find
where I wanted to go.

Thank you, sister
when times got bad
you stood by me
as no one had.

Thank you, sister
for being my friend
I will love you until
the very end.

Struggle Between.......? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I know a place
Where sun shall never die
Where I dared to tread
and rest beneath the sky………..

It's here that I shall spend my days
and write legends of mine…..
Until the …….day of annihilation……..

But soon this sun shall set
and endless night shall soon forget
that ever light did once possess
this frozen waste of cold.

Eternal dusk shall end my sight
the epic war of sun and night……
