Fall from the Abyss


No One.
Absolutely No One.
Not even my imaginary friend.

Me: A lot many of you have asked me why I have not updated my blog since long.
Hence, this new post :P

                               Fall from the Abyss

Standing in front of the mirror
I was grooming my hair
With utmost precision, I was drawing my scalp
My frizz, should they look neat, clean n sharp.
Often my hairs are muddled, messy and topsy-turvy
No-less, I have always been proud of my crowning glory

Its the final touch; I was about to wrap up
When, out of nowhere, a lock of grizzly hair popped up

Aghast, frenzied, ran berserk to fetch that pair of scissor
got to get rid of those signs of wear and tear
Darn! where I kept it?
Cupboard, sideboard or the center drawer?
Are these signs of shrinking mental power?
Or was it at the corner dressing table?
What next, I have to inscribe a container label?

----------------------------------------------------

Like a slow motion venom
Reality bites
Like that 5th shot of tequila
Sending senses out of sight

Grey hair?
Now being absent minded too?
Did I just grew old
without the slightest of clue?
Seems like my days have dusked
and my nights have dawned
cursed middle age...
this is where I belong :(


Remember that F.R.I.E.N.D.S. episode
the one "Where they all turn thirty"
hilarious it was;
I laughed my ass off.
Couldn't relate though, firm belief I had
its my boyhood, its never gonna zoom off scurry

Young I am
Youthful forever I am gonna feel.
Yeah Joey yeah
I knowww, I too had a Deal.














As a kid, I was always excited to see
How to future unfolds, is it the way I imagine it to be?
Will I be able to device an invisible cloak
and be as magical as that Harry Potter bloke.
Could I be discovering another Earth like planet along
and then step on it like Fucking Neil Armstrong.
I wished for the moon
then aimed for the celestial stars
If the world was like Game of thrones
I m gonna rise like Arya Stark

----------------------------------------------------------------

Time clocked;
Imagination stopped.
Reality sunk in
Adulting kicked in
Now chained to dastardly societal notions
Plagued by clusterfuck of emotions.
Sometimes, it feels like I m just a left out
deluging myself in the silhouette of doubt.
still a relief, I have made this far
with a tinge of pain, some dreams still afar

In a nutshell

Do you know when u realize that you have adulted?
Its amidst the mist, when you are able to see
You ponder LESS about what you NOW want to do
and MORE about what you WANTED TO BE.

Bhaijaan seriously it's really really good. I loved it. I can totally relate myself to it. I think is totally depends on the individual. Fuck the societal norms. We don't have to be a part of the crowd. There is a saying which says"Just 'cause there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there's not a fire inside". You always rock brother 👍🥂
