My dear secret friend!

Filed Under:

It’s been a while…

Been a bit overdue

That someone met the real me

Didn’t know it will be someone new.


And as you came in…

I really didn’t realise.

But you just saw through me

And it took you no time!


Now you know things…

That are known to a handful few.

And maybe some more…

That no one knew!


While I keep you hidden away from the world…

You have moved me enough to put down these words.


What we have between us 

I don’t think anyone will ever understand 

So let me just say this 

Thank you… my dear secret friend!


And I guess not many truly know you too…

At least not as well as I do!

How I wish I could make the world see…

The real you that you have shown me


And while I keep you hidden away from the world…

You have moved me enough to put down these words.


I just hope the world soon comes to realise…

There’s more to you than meets the eye

But let me just say this and not wait until then

I see YOU… my dear secret friend!


And we have known each other for quite a while now

But we have not had a dull moment yet 

Guess it’s how both of us are inside

Even when we are quiet, we just understand 


So it shouldn’t matter now…

Whether anyone else ever gets this or not 

Hope the love, affection, and conversations never end

Let’s be US always…my dear secret friend!


Wrote after a very long time. This one got split over a couple of weekends - started sometime around early midnight on 6 Oct and finished this morning while on a flight. This will forever be close to my heart!

Love - Then & Now

Filed Under:
Aug 2, 2020

Been a few years now

That we are with each other
Earlier we had to find ways
Just to sneak an hour together

Those were the days of young, impatient love
One that we expressed and talked about out loud
Now even in silence there's a kind of bliss
In just knowing... that you are around

We have come some distance in this journey gal
And i'm sure we'll cover it together till the end
The 'love yous' may rarely get said out aloud now
But we just know it...when we walk hand in hand

The love that we have has grown with time
One could try but it's hard to explain how
If saying it was the way of love back then
Just knowing it... is the way of our love now

Wrote something after a very long time... bit raw but it captures what I'd in mind.

The one!

Filed Under:

As she walked in
Fading out the crowd
I'd bet she was an angel
If there was ever one around!

And then she smiled
Blinding out the lights
I bet she'd leave the stars mesmerized
With the twinkle in her eyes!

And when she talked
Oh how I wish she never stopped
I bet even the words give her a kiss
As they flow out of those lovely lips!

And even when she just sat quiet
I still felt blessed to be by her side
I bet she doesn't need any words or lines
Coz' she can talk so much with those big, beautiful eyes!

And we finally met!

We'll meet

Filed Under:

I don't know yet where you are
And you still don't know about me
But it's just a matter of time
Before we meet...

You are there somewhere all by yourself
While here i am on my own
But soon i'll be singing to you
and you'll give words to my songs

So what if we haven't met yet
And if we haven't had the chance to hold hands
We still think of each other
in a way no one else can understand

And as we wait to get together
We're creating our own beautiful memories
Ones which we'll share with each other
Sooner or later... whenever we meet!

A rainy night!

Filed Under:
Jun 7, 2013

On nights like these
I still miss you at times
Maybe you too think of me
Every once in a while

I still can't make sense
of how things came to be
Maybe it was something you said
or maybe it was something i didn't

Now we can't go back in time
and undo all the wrongs
All that will be left now
is just memories and these songs

If only you had fought for us
If only you gave us more time
Things would have been different now
This would have been a happy rhyme

They say this is how life is
this is how love hurts
I refuse to believe that
I won't trust their words

For, after all that has happened,
I still believe there is happiness for us to see
And we'd always wish well for each other
whenever i think of you or you think of me...

Just one of those nights... it is pouring outside and the words just flowed out. This came out in one go without any edits. Maybe a lil' raw but i'd like to keep it this way.

Beautiful stranger

Filed Under:
Mar 30, 2013

She was about my height
Had a lovely smile
With long, dark hair
that she hadn't tied
And those beautiful ocean blue eyes
Oh! just the way I like

She looked so surreal,
I wondered if it was all my mind
But then she came and sat right in front of my eyes
And i realized... god does work overtime!
I skipped a heartbeat or two for sure
And felt something rush inside like never before

She had an air of innocence about her every move
Her pretty face lightened up the place in a glow all new
Just a while back it was all too noisy, way too loud
But as she walked in, she drowned out the crowd
And now that she was there, sitting right across from me
There was no other place I'd rather be

It was to be another evening of eating out alone
But now i had this beautiful company of my own  
She was also there all by herself, with no one in tow
I was there... a stranger for her though

But just before she was about to leave
We shared a moment in time
When our eyes met for a brief while
And we gave each other a parting smile
Was out for a quiet dinner at CR2, Nariman Point.

Maybe...

Filed Under:

Maybe i'll forget
Maybe you'll regret
Maybe it'll all be alright
Maybe this feeling will last for a while
I just hope, years from now, when you think of me
It'll be with a smile

Maybe i left it till too late
Maybe all of this was just fate
Maybe i was right
Maybe you gave up without a fight
I just hope, years from now, when you think of me
The good times will bring you some delight 
(abridged)

Farewell!

It'll happen!

It'll happen, i know coz' i've seen it before
you'll be there, waiting with a smile at the door
As i come back home after a long tiring day
you'll be there to give me a hug and take it all away

Everything will be perfect, i know coz' i've seen it all
darling, we'll make it... make it through this fall
For day and night, this is all that I see
everything is perfect and there is just you and me

I know it'll happen
I have seen it all
Coz' when a loving heart really asks for something
someone up there always answers the call

For the quiet superstitions in my head...

True lovers

Filed Under:
Nov 30, 2012

I knew a guy once
he was in love with a gal
She loved him back too
He was her lil' world!

They laughed and cried together
Shared their joy and pain
He was the rainbow in her skies
She was his soothing rain

True lovers they were
of the kind you've never seen
Theirs was love like it is meant to be
pure, perfect and pristine

Made-up couples around them
spent each other with flowers and cards.
While they found everything in each others' arms
Theirs was true love, not a farce!

The Land & the Sea

Filed Under:
Nov 18, 2012

Have you ever noticed,
how eagerly the waves rush in towards the shore
to embrace the land?
Like a desperate lover,
trying to reunite with her long lost love again.
But such is their love that they can't stay on forever.
And so the waves recede, with a promise to come back again.

Dear, look at me;
let us not leave this to destiny.
I always keep coming back to you
wave after wave, with a force new.
Just breakaway now & come with me,
for we may end up as the land and the sea.
Two tragic lovers,
who found each other but could never meet!

Now is the time when the tide is high
but soon it may begin to recede and wane.
Breakaway now & immerse in it if you will
for it may never come back again!

Marine Drive. A quiet walk. This.
