Touch



A touch of excitement,
of Christmas bells,
of lost treasure wells.
And of victory
and visions
and of loud legions of lions
roaring...

A touch of support,
of that half broken branch on the tree,
of that plank
floating alone on the endless sea.
Of the only kid who
refused to cry,
who wouldn't be denied
of his chance to
fly...

A touch of passion,
of the rough and the tender,
the triumph of Feeling
And Beauty's surrender,
in the arms of
the empowering blaze-
the unspoken understanding for each others'
vulnerabilities...

A touch of sympathy,
of the shadow under the canopy.
Of the hand that
pats your back softly
to say, "It's okay
You're there where I used to be
someday...


A touch of love
of the reality in the illusions
that are our simplistic imaginations.
And of the who, why and what
of our being
and the things and people
that we are seeing,
in the foreshadowing of our own
dreams...

War and Peace



My sword ready to pierce through his chest,
He winced, "Before you put me to rest,
tell me why we're bent on killing and dying.
No one needs this unnecessary bloodshed,
Isn't this God's will that we are defying?

I slowly twisted my blade, bubbling
with silent rage, I whispered,
" Those whom you fight for,
slaughtered my kin,
Now I do the same to theirs ... "

A painful smile painted his face as he said,
"You are naive to think only you feel for your dead.
I have suffered the loss of loved ones too,
Carried the burden of those shattered bonds,
I've felt that unconditional contempt I now see in you.

But this festival of hate cannot go on forever,
Someday men will truly understand each other,
I do not know the answer to when and how,
But I dream of peace and I have faith in a future,
Void of the unending hurt, these sinister wars allow."

"Amen, to your dreams...", I said,
And let the steel pierce through his heart,
Another soul set free,
from this pathetic world full,
of hollow words and selfish thoughts.

"Peace is nothing but the calm before the next war,
Vengeance will always give men a reason to kill for,
How can we make sense of another man's pain,
when we're blinded by our own misery and hurt,
Leaving us slaves to an irrational cycle of rage and disdain."

825

Today I emptied my room ... 825 - My RA locked the door, and i gave her the key... never to return to that place ever again. I couldn't believe it for a while. Just not being able to go back to my tiny room, was a little hard to make myself believe.
Two years ago, I walked into McCollum Hall, this giant dorm at KU with 3 wings ( what dorm has 3 wings ... ). I was in a totally new country, among people that talked different talked different and behaved different. I walked into my room, 825 written in big bold letters. It was a small room, with the bare necessities for a dorm room. I was 12000 miles away from home, but this room it felt ... nice.
Past 2 years, have been so great. I have had happy and sad moments. I made wonderful friend, most of them who i will keep for a lifetime. I have so many moments with them .. in the 8th Floor lobby .. like when I jumped in a pile of newspaper ... or when we discussed the past tense of jizz being jazz .. or when I laughed so much i cried .. or when we discussed about life and tits and poop and life again ...
No matter what kind of a day I had - sad, awesome or tiresome ... I could return back to 825 .. to the comfort of my bed ... and .. just ... feel better. It was my home. Its where I always wanted to go back to(here in the US). I spent very precious two years of my life there. My room, Luke's room, Zac's room ... the 8th floor lobby ... lot of memories.
I kissed the door when i left. I legitimately loved that room. I feel empty inside. I hate change.

Life...

Its going to get so difficult from now on. Two years in college are almost over. Academics are slipping already. My GPA by the end of this semester should be around 3.95. But mainly, I have no work experience in Computer Science. Doesn't look like I am getting any next semester.
After graduating in 2013, I would need to get a job... or go to a really good graduate school. I just got rejected for MIT transfer too. I it will be so hard to get into MIT for grad school.
God only knows what will happen ... I just hope everything settles down decently in the end ...

I want to sing to you (sappy alert!)



You are your delightful smile,
And how you run and kiss me as I leave,
All this time, all this while,
You're too perfect, too wonderful to believe.

And your love for me I can see
Bubbling in your big, deep, blue eyes,
When I hold you tight, as tight can be,
this is no dream, these are no lies!

As you lay next to me last night,
The moonlight shone across your tranquil face,
I can't get over that dreamy sight,
of you and your simple mystifying grace.

.
.
.

So, I want to sing to you,
about what I feel for you now,
You fill my heart with a love so true,
You've all of me, and I don't know how.

And I want to sing to you,
about how much I need you by my side,
I wanna hold you close and kiss you too,
and keep you forever and never let you slide.

Brothers


It is a difficult bond.

It's cold, so what!


The snow flakes are white,
then they vanish out of sight,
as they kiss your dry skin,
and wipe off your cheerful grin.

The cold wind slaps your face,
and you curse this frigid place,
and cover your face and whine,
as shivers twist through your spine.

It's cold, and we're freezing,
and these sharp flakes are teasing,
but the snow is lifted by the breeze,
and placed delightfully on these naked trees.

The ivory shines charmingly all around,
and the wind's is the only sound,
it touches our ears and whispers,
the secrets of all worldly stirs.

So admire her in this wretched form,
as Nature brings us this icy storm,
and live with this, which we cannot change,
this merciless beauty, strong and strange.

What's up..

(I SOMEHOW DELETED THIS @_@)


This blog was supposed to be active all my life. It needs to record my life, in a sense. Hence the name "Imprints on the sands of Time". I mean that has a much deeper meaning, but I will save that for later... maybe for my last ever, ever post. It will be interesting to see if this survives the test of time.
Anyways, I haven't posted in a while, and I shouldn't do that. I often have inspiration to write poems but I get lazy and don't. I'll get back to it though.
Meanwhile, I came to KU, to McCollum, to 8th Floor. These last 2 years have been so, so wonderful - it is almost difficult to believe. Lawrence is a beautiful place. Laid back and peaceful - totally my type. I have music in my life, I am getting fairly good grades - so my parents are happy - that is nice. I went to a wrestling show :D.
Most importantly, I have found friends. Arooj, Mel, Nick, Luke, Tanner, Zac, Zach, Katie, Anita, Chris, Alexis and Barefoot Tim. And they are great. I trust them completely and whole-heartedly and they will remain my friends for life. Also I have not lost attachment from Rohit, Nishant, Anant, Mukund, Akash an Pranjal - they are still my best friends.
I also have a girl. I like her a lot. It is really nice right now. I don't know how long it will last. All I know is that whoever this girl is with, would be very lucky and she would bring so much happiness to that guy. I might be that guy for a brief while - and that is exciting :)
