Sanskaari Indian

Serious
About the frivolous
Flippant
About meaning
With a sense of humour
Of a flying fish
Sanskaari Indian.

Aaton Ki Bhookh

Ek Ke Baad Aata Hai Do

Everyone must come first, at least once

Once
At least once
Everyone must come first
And move on
To better stuff.

This thing about life

It isn't quite easy
This thing about life
A lot to do about striving
Little more about strife.

Watching bad TV

Watching bad TV
Is better than not
You get to diss it
As well sign on the dot.

An early morning flight to nowhere

Maladjusted in a world
Not so fair
Having to choose between
Desire and despair
He took an early morning flight
To nowhere.

I ran as fast as I could

I ran as fast as I could
And caught up with life
Only to discover that
I had left it far behind
As life is nothing but
A mirror of its own kind.

Dear Summer

So long, dear friend
You will be missed
48 is when you broke
I've never been kissed
Clamour
Dear Summer.

But not one feels right

Too much of information
A lot of insight
A little of wisdom
But not one feels right.

Reason is boring

Reason is boring, instinct is bare
The more I know, the less I dare.

Kuch Yoon Udaas Hoon

Jury

Jury
Judge
Be judged
Be free
Of
The mystery
That is
The Jury

Ghar Ki Murgi Daal Barabar

Who is a good guide

Who is a good guide
The one in front
Or the one at the back
The one leading the way
Or the one hauling the sack ?

And God created Kerala

And God created Kerala
And gave it people
Communists, Atheists and Believers
Who went to Gulf
To bridge the divide
Between them and God's side.

The one who was well-travelled

The one who was well-travelled
Knew not his neighbour
The one who stayed at home
Could hardly greet his labour.

Good morning

Good morning
For being alive
While others are not
Broadcast live
Irony
Thy name is life
For peace prevails
Where there is strife
