Lost in Translation

Seven in the morning
The sun isnt shining
I wake up with a sigh
I dont know why!

Snooze the alarm twice
Twist and turn thrice
Turned 28 from ten
I dont know when!

Cover up with a bedsheet
Curl up my tired feet
Mind runs like a crazy hare
I dont know where!

Rest my head on the pillow
Control the tears that flow
Feeling cold or hot
I dont know what!

Rub and Close my eyes
Wishing for clear blue skies
Will I ever be understood
I dont know who would!

Swing Vote

All my life I have stayed in Delhi and loved it to the core. Everytime my friends from Banglore, Hyderabad, Chennai or Mumbai complained delhi was a horrible place, with bad people and no culture. I always supported and defended my place of birth. Today, I was let down. My vote has swinged today the other way. Delhi isnt all that great. I am too pissed with the people of delhi today.

The reason of my ire: 5 school kids on a speeding santro, crushed a rikshawala to death and they try to flee. Their so uneducated mom accuses me of trying to make a quick buck for standing up for the poor fellow who died on the road, because of her son, who had credit cards in his pocket but no DL. He had his chipped nail to show he was hurt too from the accident. Ofcourse I was angered and heated up, by her attitude and audacity, and to cool me down that lady offered to get me a cold drink. Disgusting! Absolutely No humility, No shame, No guilt, No civic responsibility!

I really wonder, do we really deserve to be in delhi, a world class city when we cant appreciate something as simple as human life. The people of delhi let me down today, very very badly!!
