I Have Looked

I have looked thru Honour

I have looked thru Beautiful girls

I have looked thru Power

I have looked thru Fame

I have looked thru Thoughts

I have looked thru Alcohol

I have looked thru Socialites

I have looked Everywhere.

This turbulent mind knows no peace,

This thirsty soul drinks from no pond.

I know not who I am,

I know not where I am.

I'm done with Dreams,

And Empty Illusions.

Save me Buddha, Death is near.

Free me before I die.

Guest Post... 'Greater Noida' By Rimjhim Varma

Wide roads, huge crossroads

reproducing pigeons and no crows 

extreme weather, strong sunrays 

lots of wind and blue cold days 

green belts innumerous

beside the largest gutters

apartments like mushrooms

all empty...one or the other

there are no people, except the native

but its a question of years, just four or five 

we've been living here and we'll be more

and we've been loving it and we'll do more 

to watch a city grow

with yourself along

is oh so cherishable

but also oh so long

we'll be gone in an year

but you won't stop to grow 

and thats how we'll love

and we'll love you so...... BY-RIMJHIM VARMA

Classroom Zeitgeist..

Half-burnt ciggarette butts

A girls ungracious rebuff

A scrambled room

Even more scrambled mind

Leaky pipes, pesky mosquitoes

Living life on fried potatoes

On Pamela Anderson's posters

On cheap magazines subscriptions

A "cool-waanabe" attitude

An anonymous face in the crowd

"Mr. Popular" in the waiting

Painful dreams of adulation

Weekdays full of studies

Weekends full of whiskies

An arrogance of oblivion

Cocky attitude of empty mind

I'm surrounded by such people in college

Who never cared to know Pablo Neruda.

yes i'm surrounded by such people in my very own class and tell you what i'm very very pissed off by the sheer magnitude of stupidity human brains can carry.
