I found love off the net

Chatting on the website

Sent instant messages to which they replied

Found their interests to be in sync with mine

Out we decided to catch up over wine.

And the way I felt thereafter, I had never felt before…

I need to date some more…

It’s embarrassing and hence I fret

Coz I decided to find love off the net

They’re really good prospects, I bet

It’s just that I found love off the net…

I can be caustic like an acid

But they’re like intoxicating whiff of alcohol

When we react together

It feels fruity like an ester

Time crawls by like years when I don’t see them now

I have gotta be with one of them somehow

Please don’t judge me as yet

Just coz I decided to find love off the net

Try to see my perspective and forget

That I found love off the net…

Singapore city-state: My version of California King bed by Rihanna

Intertwined fingers, entangled toes
Could we have been any more close?
I forgot my friends, I forgot my foes
With you, I didn't realise how time goes

But now when I reach out my fingers
Your touch is what remains and lingers...

In this Singapore city-state
We are thousand miles apart
I have been praying to the Fate
To reignite that love for me in your heart

Rose smell, twinkling eye
In my arms, I had held you high
Next to me whenever u used to lie
All my worries used to bid goodbye

But now when I reach out my fingers
Your touch is what remains and lingers...

In this Singapore city-state
We are thousand miles apart
I have been praying to the Fate
To reignite that love for me in your heart

Just when I felt everything is alright
We ended up having that last fight
I messaged you thinking you will feel better
But your reply made my eyes go wetter

So confused, wanted to ask if you ever loved me
Was astonished how gullible i could be
May be i had just been dreaming...

In this Singapore city-state
We are thousand miles apart
I have been praying to the Fate
To reignite that love for me in your heart

An ode to Priyanka Chopra

Read it to the music of paparazzi:


An Ode to Priyanka Chopra

Writing this song at midnight
Your poster catches my sight 
Switched on tv, it's true
Wanna see some movies of you

They are so magical
You look so fantastical

Decked up in white
Sonia! You look glamorous
No AITRAAZ to cite
Wished had a photo of us

It wouldn't have a price
Are you ready for surprise?
Cause you know That, lady, I

I'm your biggest fan
I will follow you until you reply to me
MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI?

Lady, there's no other superstar
I know you will be
Next Madhuri

Promise you will get your accent fine
Well I can't blame, you have already influenced mine

Lady you will be famous
Chase you down until you choose me
From amongst all 12 RASHEE

Kiara! I will be your Akash
Could you skip the new years bash?
We are no longer ANJAANA ANJAANI
31st December, I will be waiting

On new york's bridge Washington 
With black coffee and bourbon 

Let's go to barista
Coz I wanna tell you Alisha
That this is no PYAAR IMPOSSIBLE
Don't disregard me like a worthless bauble 

My love doesn't have a price
Loving you might be more foolish than wise
But you know that, lady, I

I'm your biggest fan
I will follow you until you reply to me
MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI?

Lady, there's no other superstar
I know you will be
Next Madhuri

FASHIONable Meghna mathur
Let's walk the ramp together 
We will look so pretty
A LOVE STORY 2050

I may not be a DRONA-like iron man
But I am no BLUFFMASTER or DON
Love is something I cannot PLAN
And My heart will go on

I'm your biggest fan
I will follow you until you reply to me
MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI?

Lady, there's no other superstar
I know you will be
Next Madhuri

Promise you will get your accent fine
Well I can't blame, you have already influenced mine

Find your love by drake: my version!

Drake: find your love -- my version
Dedicated to all the interns :) I know how you feel!


I am more than just an intern
Refuse to be forgotten
I took a chance with my career
With you I started to steer

I better find you appreciating
I better find the work smart -3
I better find that all my work
Is contributing to a bigger part

I am more than just a Person Number
Although Nascent like an ember
From July to December 
I am the one you shall remember


I better find you appreciating
I better find the work smart -3
I better find that all my work
Is contributing to a bigger part

I need more than just an overseas training 
Ever morning, an acknowledgement, a greeting
An opportunity to self learning
And over-the-drinks networking

I better find you appreciating
I better find the work smart -3
I better find that all my work
Is contributing to a bigger part

Too many times I have been wrong
I guess being right takes too long
I am done mistaking,  there is nothing else to do
But show my best self and give my 100% to you

I better find you appreciating
I better find the work smart -3
I better find that all my work
Is contributing to a bigger part...

The Big Apple Story

And I am lost in the INCEPTION of self-doubt Trying to figure out what for is my heart bleeding? Dreams after dreams have begun to fade out Leaving behind those familiar unknown feelings...
	I have accepted that the buds of my love have got to wilt Now their colours will no longer blossom The dream castles, in my mind, I had struggled to built The waves will trample them in a second and take them to bosom...
Yesterday the paths were lit up like TIMES SQUARE Spring-clad CENTRAL PARK was there to shower its care I used to be so excited as if on the EMPIRE STATE’s top After Shopping with you on the FIFTH AVE non-stop My heart used to flutter like the flags at the UN HEADQUARTERS You don’t know what I could have given up just to enjoy with you a Brooklyn Bridge’s saunter...
	Today I feel claustrophobic when I think of the WALLed STREET days I wish I had chosen some other BROADer WAYs! Coz that’s where you YANK(E)Ed my heart without any BASE And yet so peacefully managed a HOME (to) RUN away On retrospection, I think whether having met you was a boon or a bane Coz now a mere sight of a BIG APPLE in my fruit basket is enough to reignite my pain...

Colourblind!

Felt blue...

When I realised that moments we got to spend together were so few!

Felt green...

When i heard you mentioning people I have not even seen!

Felt yellow...

When you didn’t have time for me and I felt like just another fellow!

But then, I make myself feel fine...

And I think about the day we two had gone out together to dine! J

Nobody had told me that this feeling is so great

Envy, love, hatred, restlessness.. all found in the same plate

Even though sometimes things are not meant to materialise

One learns to put up a brave face when inside the heart cries...

Felt red...

When you spent the last weekend with all of them and not me instead!

Felt black...

When I think about all the things that I feel I lack!

Felt jaded...

When responses from your side started to get faded!

But then, I make myself feel sublime...

And I think about your laugh, your voice on the phone and those eyes that shine! :) 

I cherish the fact that its You whom I so closely got to know

Now, the rest of the things I seriously don’t mind

And dont worry about me, I will control these random outflows

Even if that means i have to go colourblind.

An Interview Slut

You research on the company and you thoroughly read the job profile

You don't know whether to come across as aggressive or behave docile

Of whatever information you have and whatever you deem as worthwhile

A resume and a cover letter is something which you will go ahead and compile.

 

Now you are ready - all set to apply at a million firms

That's the only thing you will do all through this academic term

Your batch-mates will agree and your seniors will affirm

That now you are ready to enter the world full of chirm.

 

Everyday, without fail, from six until nine, you attend their Networking Nights

Then you come back home, sit in front of PC and visit their career websites

Then you visit ft.com and read all the latest news bytes

And you think: Are we out of recession yet or is there something still left to fight?

 

Nevertheless, you want a job and hence you go ahead and APPLY ONLINE

You take HIS name because you believe in the power of DIVINE

You bow your head in front of HIS shrine

A meaningful job at a great company is the only thing you pine.

 

You fill the long tedious form and revise and re-revise before you hit SUBMIT

To double check that everything is in order and there is nothing that you did omit

It is the time when you are nervous but exasperated in the same bit

But then you decide to click the button and to their server, let all your information transmit.

 

Then you wait and wait and every day seems like an eternity

When you don't hear from them for long, you will call up everyone in your fraternity

Those who have received the CALL, towards them you will develop an inevitable animosity

And somewhere deep down inside, you tend to doubt your own ability.

 

One fine day, they decide to have pity on you by sending you an invite

"4 pm 20^th November One Raffles Quay. Please confirm if the interview slot is alright."

You can't control your joy and you immediately decide to wash and iron your whites

And then sit in front of PC to research on the company all through the night.

 

Dressed as an Executive, you reach 15 minutes ahead of time

You sit in their office – the decor is so sublime

Then they call you in for an interview and you know that this chance is ultime

You start selling yourself – "I worked in Motorola, developed an application so real-time..."

 

You don't know what they are looking for; you don't know what they want to hear

You try to exude panache even though you are trembling inside with fear

In this 30 minute interview, they drill you and you have no choice but to bear

"Do you have any questions for us?" and phew, now you say a silent prayer.

 

You exit the interview room and DAMN, you SCREWED it all up

"We will CALL you", they said and all you could muster up was a "YUP"

You begin to launch in a self-doubt session, and feel like a mere pup

It is as humiliating as having a one-night stand after getting high in a pick-up pub.

 

Suddenly, Your E71 comes to life – "You have a mail" and you start to go off your nut

The mail says: "Dear Rahul, you were really great during the interview BUT..."

This is happening for the Nth time and you know you have again fallen in the same rut

And you need not read any further because you have been reduced to an Interview SLUT...
