Birthday wishes..

This is for a guy who thinks

Every pretty girl in pinks

Drools over him and blinks

Every time he winks...

It can be a real pain

When he wants to entertain

Mobile services do gain

And he never does complain

But a heart of gold he owns

Which causes a lot of meltdowns

It is very rare that he frowns

If he does, it should be at clowns

Attitude he never wears

Pretensions he never bears

Time and dime, he never cares

Maybe, sometimes he shares...

When it is books, he is obsessed

When it is girls, he is possessed

When it is family, he is blessed

When it is bwb, he is impressed | (bwb can be beauty with or without brains)

Here is wishing you a happy birthday dear friend...

With all this non-sense I penned!!!

MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY JAKE

HOW I MISSED A PIECE OF CAKE!!!

random facts..

In class 1, when my first friend in school told me that he has a car with two steering wheels, and that his father has got a pair of shoes which can crack open any shut doors in the world, I believed it wholeheartedly. I was new to that 'world' then.

I've tried eating candle wax when i was a kid.

I take something to read when I go to the loo, even from the 'children's comics' days.

I had my first crush in class 6th.

Years back, I had a dream about the death of a member of family. Within the dream, I prayed it to be just a dream, and wept throughout.

I dont like seeing people wearing ring on their index finger, for no specific reasons.

Once, when I was on my way to leave Madhu at the airport, I gulped down my first peg of rum, and I puked the very next moment.

When I dont feel like a selfish son, I admire my father for the same reasons which I disapprove of him.

I love the rains! i love to watch the rains through the window lying on my bed!

I am a chronic procrastinator, and I find weird hypotheses and reasons that convinces me to postpone things.

Images of you and I..

Images of you and I,
Of the soft music
floating by
of your lips
touching mine..
The sky was embarrassed,
A solitary bird shied away.
Images of you and I,
walking along the shores,
The silence was pregnant
with words.
You and I
caught in a hundred moods,
Its as if time stood still
and I was lost within you
Images of you,
Of that lovely smile,
Of those deep brown eyes,
Of that love and care,
will always be there,
you will always be there..

quotes from trash..

Two quotes which i got from the trash my bro left..

Go on to tell how
With genius wasted,
Betrayed in friendship,
Befooled in love,
With spirit shipwrecked, and
Young hopes blasted,
He still, still strove..
-Anon

"Lord, Give me the courage to change the things which can and ought to be changed,
the serenity to accept the things which cannot be changed,
and the wisdom to know the difference" -Anon.
