....kahin pohochun na pohochun,
is bheed se nikalne ki jaldi hai.
nikalke raahat mile na mile,
woh raah ki marzi hai.....

.....My contributions to this world
will not be in graphs on a slide
They won't impress people who
judge them for wrong and right....

....Will Harshal be enough? Or will seventeen be?
Maybe a crab will do it? Cancer would have made you think.....

....Yes, I've grown up, I live alone now, have I made it?
Growing up is not succeeding, did you face it?
I've built a life for myself, now can I break it?
for I wanna be the child that I was, carefree and naked....

....Light! Oh, light! show me my men.
fill my mind, bring me my kin.
the night has slept, I'm stepping out,
watch me reach out, light, hold my hand.....

.....Listen, there’s this friend of mine,
everybody thinks that he’s living the life.
And even though he’s not,
he tells me that I’m the only one, in whom he’d confide.....

.....morning walks are a whole new perspective
familiar streets, familiar faces
yet absolutely peculiar experiences
all are humble for a raw beginning
and forsaken of the ends lived.....

....as I walk towards the shore
to dip, dive, bathe & heal the sore
parts within & without
to filter myself of all my sins & doubts....

.....there's a tunnel that leads nowhere
where existence isn't bound to chemistry
life to biology or behavior to physics
where only love is spoken
the rich keep talking
and poor are dumb.....

....Fractions of flashbacks bombard my vision with my mom’s inquiry of whether I miss her.
With the fractions of flashbacks bombarding my vision, I reply to my mom’s inquiry, “I think I do.”...

.....The ten-minute wait at an occupied loo
Happening at every station, the last adieu
I’m the one hour delay on your first date
I’m ‘Just a Minute’
.....

.....Santa was standing right in front of my doorstep, he...he had red eyes, he wasn't fat, and he didn’t feel safe.....

...."Kya hua beta, tu theek toh hai na, aaj tu diwal pe sar kyu nahi mar raha hai?"....

...."There's a man in the sky
he sees you & I"....

...."I owe you love, love. I owe this world a little sympathy, a little emotion, a little ignorance, a little forgiveness. And now, I owe it all to you"....

...."when summer roads are wet with melting snow and the sun is a lover lost amidst the fog and the cold, visiting briefly only to burn your skin, you don't bless people for sneezing, you bless them for every breath they take"....

...."the moment arrives,
the last two cards are placed
and you just fucking fall, every fucking time, in your own fucking face."....

...."I like nights for the way they make me speak,
words filling the silence, words longing to mean."....

...."I make ethics and values what they are; I make them strong.
But wait, don't trust me! I might be wrong."....

...."I am tired of choices but you, I choose
to care, to worry, to confide, to show
tho I hope my sorrow will not be around
now that I'm in love"....

....."AUR kabhi kabhi toh lagta hai
ki (waah!) Kya kaha hai Maine!
Par kabhi kabhi maloom padta hai
ki (sheh) kya hi keh diya Maine!"....

...."It asked me "where were you?"
I was about to answer
But it fell asleep again.
I sat there and waited."....

....""oh how fun would it be to ride aong with Wave, all the way to the other side of the ocean".
Leaf snapped out of the dream as he felt a push."....

...."Bro ek tera jaisa bhi yaar mila
achha laga."....

...."Ghar SE nikalke zyada dur na chale jaun,
Just chalna sikha hai mummy, please Haath pakad lena"....

...."Close my eyes.
demons, all size
crowd my mind.
I pick them up
demand your smile."....

...."I still remember your eyes, they giggled exactly how my one year old niece’s did. "....

...."“Oh yes! Deeper!” I remember moaning, “Put the goddamn thing inside!”"....

...." I have done things, knowing you didn’t like them at all, knowing you didn’t want me to do them, knowing they’ll make you upset, make you angry"....

...."I had been sleeping next to Maa for as long as I can remember, until about the age of thirteen, when I got sent to a boarding school in Panchgani. "....

...."As I swing the gate open, I realize that the water was already boiling and ready to be served. I enter, prepared to be dipped in it a few times."....

...."heaven shall go to hell,
and only barren land would be seen,"....

...."apni manzil ke taraf ek kadam bada kar toh dekho,
uski pukaar apne dil me gunjti sun paoge.
Is kadar chahegi wo tumhe,
Tum use kya hi chah paoge"....

...."He explored my beauty on the surface, he explored my beauty inside
and then knowledge took its toll and my magic lost its selfless vibe."....

...."but these voices inside my head are yours, dad and they're showing concern,
and now i'm numb."....

...."No I'm just kidding I'll get serious, I will simply stop being tedious
And organize my life in a mystery room with gates,"...

...."I'm sure you have another billion things to do in your own. And really, you don't need to do all of it. Just one maybe. "....

...."For the same destiny can be arrived at by numerous different paths, and as long as you have the destiny in sight, every path will lead you there. Don't let that destiny out of sight."....
