Author : CHANAKYA GROVER      Blog : Viewpoint      Date : 6/27/2012 6:08:00 PM

'May be it was because I knew, beforehand, that this movie is over 5 hrs in length and will be released in 2 parts or some reviews I read about the movie, I did not expect fireworks from it. Also, if you like Anurag Kashyap’s style of cinema, which I do, then expecting fireworks is a crime of sorts because what he presents in his cinema is a plate full of subtleties and nuances which makes'

Not Anymore

Author : CHANAKYA GROVER      Blog : Viewpoint      Date : 5/27/2012 8:21:00 AM

'I'm not living anymore, just breathing; Listening to words all around but nothing sounds soothing. I'm not smiling anymore, just making a face; Unable to comprehend the world and keep up with its pace. I'm not crying anymore, just being in oblivion; No goal in mind, no wait for any jubilation. I'm not talking anymore, just speaking some words; For what I talk about, you'd rather listen to'

Proposal

'It seems I have known you forever. I have always found you very charming & clever. We have had so many conversations; But none, requiring, any serious deliberations. Now that I am away from you, do I realize; What others saw ages ago, in our eyes. It cannot be anything but love, that it is; That one day away & I want to fly back to you in a whiz. Consider this as a formal'

Will wait forever

'I’ve known it from the very first day; When you walked through that crowd without any pretentious display, When you separated your lips to introduce yourself; That moment I knew, I’ve found, the one, for myself. Lot many years have gone by, between us. We’ve been friends alright but without that buzz.   I know you’ve said it to my face; Nothing more between us is possible, in any'

Music

'Music does different things to different beings; When I heard you play, it did to me, one of those crazy things. That thing, where logic goes for a toss; There’s plenty to say but your words are at a loss. Say them I did, to my best friend; But she had her own words, meant to defend. Defend me from getting hurt by a flirt; At least that’s what she called you at first. I’m glad you'

Laughter

'Laughter is infectious they say; They must have had, you, in mind; Because one glance at you laughing, made me laugh, after a hard day’s grind. I came back again and again to see that laughter; It is of a kind, the whole world seems to be after. Uninhibited and frank, unaware of the surroundings; It’s the most precious of all your belongings. My love for you goes beyond what words'

Danced the night away

Author : CHANAKYA GROVER      Blog : Viewpoint      Date : 5/20/2012 4:05:00 PM

'We may not have met in an ideal way; But one meeting & we had so much to say. Danced the night away we did, in full moon; Not one song I can remember, we did not croon. I wonder, if you saw it in my eyes; The coyness & a stomach full of butterflies. The way you moved on the dance floor with me; It was nothing short, of a blissful journey. Now that the night has ended, I hope;'

Let it come today

'Let it come and take my breath away; Neither ask any questions nor have anything to say. Let it come and look me in the eye; Deliver me the final message without a sigh. Let it come and take me without a sound; Away from all things to which I am bound. Let it come a like an unassuming wave; Wipe me off my feet and take me to a dark cave. Let it come in any form and at anytime of'

She will always be

'She entered our lives in a basket; carried inside our home, like jewels, in a casket. She said nothing, for, she could not speak; opened her eyes, just enough, to steal a peek. Looked around, she did, with half opened eyes; must have been wondering, what's she doing amongst creatures of such huge size. We kissed her, caressed her, embraced her and welcomed her in our lives; She reciprocated'

The one that divides

'It unites people and makes them bide; With promises of heaven if one were to abide. It permits any soul to direct you around; Quoting stories and testament which are abound. It makes you do insane things you wouldn’t otherwise do; You give it the power by not asking what, why or who? It makes people despise each other; Massacre in its name, be it, a friend or brother. It was'

I Know Not

Author : CHANAKYA      Blog : Viewpoint      Date : 4/9/2012 6:21:00 PM

'I know not, what brings me to this place called earth; Condemned to die, trying to live up since birth. I try to reason with one and all; Just to get up every day and fall. I know not, what makes others tick; They give me a thousand reasons but none I can pick. I ask them if life’s meant to be of some use; They smile at me looking amused. I know not, why they tell me not to over'
