Grown up

That new year scream,
In my ears I just let in.
         That burst of light, on earth on sky
          across   my    vision    crosses by
That  yummy chocolate truffle cake
is no more than  a  piece of bread
          Christmas, new year, all so alone
          Why, I wonder    I've      grown?





Smiles once cheerful, now seen,
a clue of  being   involved   teen.
                   And   your T-shirt   once   so   cute,
                   begs you comments, turns you mute.
Those baddy nights, those "hangman" beats,
are      now a    perfectly    planned   meet?
                countless      midnights,     even 1 or   2
            we played and played and played through.
but now even past seven
they turn wild and demon.



we      gave   up     and     they     won,
we had to , only cuz we're now  grown!
                friendships mistaken evry now and then
                thats     how     it     all     begin.
forced, i had promises to keep
forced you and I to weep.


And so are we , I'm at your place,
stunned    in    silence     disgraced
               Kept word larger than life to speak
               but forced, i had promises to keep.


A perfect end friendship did own
owing to fact we're now "grown".
owing to fact we're now "grown".

Jersey 10

In that cafe, that TV said
the 'boy' jersey 10 clad
        in thy hands, ageing, caught!
        not as sore as as i thought.

I had my drink and lay on bed
thought of when he came and played,
                 Enormous crowd, roar, screams
                 All they'll be now mere dreams.

I plunged myself more and more
why it came behind the door?
                 could have ended against rivals
                 and rared their chances of survival

Take off his cap at the last
every head bowed, throbbing fast
                 Watch the master bade good bye\
                  'Sachin the god' the national cry

But fate went other way round
loads  of promises, hard to bound
                 never so shy, to face the real
                 never so coward, against evry appeal

So why? the fate goes other way.
I had my drink , on bed I lay
It had to come, not this way atleast
so let the ODI REST IN PEACE!
