What is love?

Posted in Ishan Dubey, Thoughts by Ishan Dubey

A few days ago my friend got married. He is the first one among us to agree to those 7 promises. Initially it was shocking to know of his impending doom, then it became funny but now that everything has been done with, it seems like a reality. On the wedding day we all friends gathered around him and wanted to know what’s the secret. Secret of love. Secret of marriage. Everyone of us has been in and out of love atleast once, all but me. I have never been in love, I have always been without. I’m proud, I’m not emotional, I don’t easily give in to senses. I’m happy.

Don’t begin your relationship thinking of sex.

Feel the real love.

There is happiness in just being together.

It is impossible

Posted in Quotes by Kunal Goel

It is impossible to go through life without trust: That is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself.

Raindrops keep Falling

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Songs, Thoughts by Neha

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So i just did me some talkin’ to the sun
And i said i didn’t like the way he’ got things done

Vain And Careless

Posted in Poems by Kunal Goel

Lady, lovely lady,
Careless and gay!
Once when a beggar called
She gave her child away.

The beggar took the baby,
Wrapped it in a shawl,
“Bring her back,” the lady said,
“Next time you call.”

Yes!

Posted in Neha Jhingon, Thoughts by Neha

He traced the lines on my face with his acid tipped fingers and brought my lips to his corrosive ones. When through, he asked me… “do you feel adequately beautiful?”

“Yes” I said, fiercely nodding my head…

We can’t play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can’t go on like before
But can we still be friends?

Cast Me Gently Into The Morning
For The Night Has Been Unkind
And If I Never Wake Up Again
Just Cast Me From Your Mind

Jag Ja…

Posted in Hindi, Songs by Ishan Dubey

jag ja ri gudiya
misri ki pudiya
meethe lage do naina
nainon mein tere, hum hi base the
hum hi base hain, hain na.

o ri raani, gudiyaaaa,
jag jaa, arii jag ja, mari jag ja.

halka sa kosa,
subho ka bosa,
maan jaa ri, ab jaag ja.
naak pe tere, kaatega bicchoo
jaag ja, tu maan ja
jo chahe le lo, dashrath ka vaada

The Suffolk Miracle

Posted in Poems by Kunal Goel

A wonder stranger ne’r was known
Then what I now shall treat upon.
In Suffolk there did lately dwell
A farmer rich and known full well.

He had a daughter fair and bright,
On whom he plac’d his chief delight;
Her beauty was beyond compare,
She was both virtuous and fair.

The Wise Man and The Angel

Posted in Excerpts by Neha

WISE MAN. What have you got the shears for?

FOOL. I won’t tell you. If I told you, you would drive them away.

WISE MAN. Whom would I drive away?

FOOL. I won’t tell you.

WISE MAN. Not if I give you a penny?

FOOL. No.

WISE MAN. Not if I give you two pennies.

FOOL. You will be very lucky if you give me two pennies, but I won’t tell you.

WISE MAN. Three pennies?

FOOL. Four, and I will tell you!

WISE MAN. Very well, four. But I will not call you Teigue the Fool any longer.
