And The Pearl In The Ocean.... :D

This is not my work. http://thelocalteaparty.com/post/12233962736 is the actual link... I just liked it so much that i felt i HAD to reblog it :D I'd encourage everyone to visit http://thelocalteaparty.com/archive ... Absolutely amazing! Well, here you go

We deserve better. Please.

Everybody is affected by these fellows. Wherever you go these guys are there. Arey, if they are at least good you can look at them, but you can easily count the number of good ones using one finger itself. These bad advertisements when I see them no, I simply want to kill the guy who created it.

Boss either you be like Doordarshan ads. Say something and go away. At least don’t put scene. Or you create better advertisements. Don’t try to come and tell bull shit to us ok? We can easily find out.

What you are saying? If the man puts the deodorant and goes means all the girls will drop their clothes and run behind him is it? What nonsense concept is this yaar? Have you seen this happen anywhere in this world? Then how you expect it to happen in a conservative and traditional and deeply cultured country like India, I don’t understand. Ridiculous fellow.

How much story you are telling? Some girls will come out of the sea, some girls will fall from the sky and some girls even come and bite the men is it? Best is, you are telling ki if I put the deodorant means even neighbour girl will take off her dress in the smell. Bloody, if I put that deodorant means, even I myself cannot smell it after 10 seconds, where will neighbour girl smell it?

Also, there is no neighbour girl concept in this world. That you know? Has there ever been a single eligible neighbour girl living next door to a single eligible neighbour guy? Whose ears you are trying to keep flowers?

But still, men are trying only. Just in case. Who wants to miss the opportunity yaar?

Hello ladies, you too. Don’t just laugh at men for this. How many times you are believing the ad and putting the Clearasil and Fair and Lovely and all the other one million items on your skin and hair? Has anything changed even one bit? No!

Forget the deodorants, even the car fellows are worst. Boss you car guys have lot of money yaar! Why can’t you make some nice ads? You have brought in so much money from Korea but still you can’t create one good ad is it? All your ads are absolute nonsense crap. We are only seeing Shahrukh Khan open his arms and smile as if KKR is winning the IPL. But what you are trying to tell nobody understands.

You want one strategy to increase your sales using advertisement? I will give one advice. Don’t give any advertisement. Seeing your ad, even people who want to buy your car will run away.

You remember that chocolate ad in the 90s? One fellow will hit six and his girl friend will dodge the policeman and dance in the ground like a small girl? Ad means it should be like that. It shows one happy moment which is a simple pleasure of life.Simple and nice ad.

Instead why you want to confuse everybody including yourself? You keep on asking ‘Have I made it large?’ ‘Have I made it large?’! If you itself don’t know means how others will know? Boss first of all you tell what product you are selling?  How such stupid ads are getting approval itself I don’t understand!

I can only think of one explanation only for all of this: The ad guy must be some fellow from B-School with initials in its name. Ditto for the client guy. Both these fellows are smoking up some banned substance. One fellow says some nonsense concept for ad. The other fellow thinks it is brilliant. That’s all.

What you think of us? That we will watch whatever you put is it?

But we are watching only. What to do? That only is the problem.

Nettles

I thought so much,

Longed so hard,

For that one to be you -

More of wishing,

Thoughts provoking

Ideas that don't last -

Like a nettles sting,

Swift and fast,

It all fell apart -

But I still move

On with life,

Stronger every hour.

Just Plain Disturbing

I look around Nobody's there. It's just me in here - Me and my thoughts. Is it possible, That there might be Another here Whose presence is just uncaught? I feel as though I'm watched from behind - A fleeting touch or two. I shiver and shudder. Chills run down my spine. Is someone walking over my grave? I still feel it. A gentle touch, a loving(?) stare. Why? Who is this? I have no dead lover Nor family now. In fact I doubt either's Very existence right now. Then who IS this? An ungodly presence Awake, alive And not in my dreams. Are you someone Far ahead in time? That we're yet to meet? Or have we made acquaintance And just not have been so free? Either way, Whoever you are, Stop it, stop following me. Or come face-to-face, 'Cause this really disturbs me.

It's Perfect After All

Its that one moment

When fantasies come to life,

Dreams become reality

And faith your friends are for life,

Its that one moment

When your coffee's not yet cold,

Your eggs have cooked perfectly

And your bread doesn't have mould,

Its that one moment

When you get a tight hug

From your child all grown up

And you know she wasn't a mistake,

And it's all perfect after all.

From Earth To Sky

Everyday or another

Someone's there to bother,

Telling me what to do,

Telling me what to choose.

Here I am a princess

Locked up in her tower,

No flowing golden locks

Or secret charming lover.

I am told everyday

That the way is always this,

That even if I choose my way

It'll always come back to this.

Here I am a princess

Yearning to be free,

To go places and be somewhere

With someone I am me.

.

Duties, days, responsibilities

There seems to be no change

They call me a man and don't see me as one

'Cause I am their puppet pulled by strings

I am a king

Stuck to my throne,

No affairs or flings

From my seat of thorns.

For everyday

It is someone new

To point out my way

That I may never choose.

I am a king,

I fight to be me

And to find someone someday

With whom I am me.

.

Years pass, scenes change

My way always stays the same

Let it cross with someone else

So I may find strength as myself.

A beauty I saw

On the side one day,

Simplistic yet with such eyes

That took my breath away.

Strong, gentle, commanding and fierce

He spoke to me like a king

And yet I wish to see him again,

See if my heart stops fluttering.

I see now

Someone like me,

Do I dare now

To be just me?

Chains broken, glasses shattered

Love has come like a fine feather

Neatly penning in new lines

Drawing us close, one and combined;

Now we find strength

To follow our dreams,

To go all the length

Of what we think life maybe

In all the ways

Even if death do us part -

For us, to us, we will be

True to ourselves, forever to see.

Fairytales

No matter how much I wish

It'll never be so

My fairytale is ending

Without much ado.

Not the way I imagined,

With the dragons I saw,

Though hurt, I have won

Which is what matters now.

Light My Dark

Lost in darkness
Begging for a light
Is there anybody here? 
Why are shadows so bright? 

Misery, turning and running
For how long will I hide? 
Blinded by tears not falling
Blinding my eyes

One friend with who I can confide in
Just that one light
Yet alone in a room crowded by shadows
Not one real person in sight

And those who are there
Are far away
Separated by barriers
I'm not able to break

Is it my fate to die here
As a wretched fool? 
Will there ever be peace
For my dying soul? 
Peace, for my dying soul.

I Never Thought...

When I was small, 
I never thought
There would come a day
When I would say, 
'I don't believe in God'.
I never thought
Not even yesterday
That today I'd regret
My words of last day.
A moment back
I never thought
That the next moment I'd go
From a princess to a pauper.

I never thought -
Things could go so wrong, 
That time will feel so long, 
That my heart would break
And tears would spill, 
Over one little mistake.

Not even once, 
Not in eighteen years, 
Except now have I thought
No, have finally found out, 
That even sweet precious love
Would go one day
And flee from me like a dove...

I Am - - - In The Dark

I'm walking through the corridors. Never ending. Is it a dream or something else? Must be a dream... I keep walking.

I'm routed and re-routed over and over again. I'm alone. In the dark. Does this make sense? I'm alive but I seem to be floating. Over everything and everyone else. 

Where did the corridors go? I don't know. But it's a dream. But why am I not waking up?

Everyone and everything else. Happy... I'm happy. They're happy.

Grandfather. I see you. I'm glad someone else is there with me. Ferns? What about them? Yeah, ornamental. Beautiful. So?

Dream. He's gone. Father. Mother. Brother. Faces. Spinning around me. 

It's a dream. Wake up.

So many lights... Wow. Big road. But I'm standing on the porch. The road is my veranda. Dream. Wake up...

Everyone's on the other side. It's bright too. Nice. Seems friendly. But I don't want to. Don't want to cross alone.

They're calling me. It's an illusion. The road really isn't there... It's a dream. From which I'm not waking up. Why?

But if I cross it won't hurt. It's a dream. It's so dark here. The house is dark. I can't make out the door to go inside.

They're still calling me. I need to cross. But I don't want to. I'm fading into the darkness. I don't have a choice I see. I have to cross. But all I see are lights. Just moving lights and they're not stopping for me.

And they're still calling me. Fine. I'll take a leap of faith. My family. My trusted friends. They won't lead me into anything bad.. Dangerous. But why?

Why is my mind screaming at me no! Why does it say it's better to fade into the dark? I should try right...?

I tell everyone else who asks that they should... So I should too. I'm not afraid... Am I? No... They're calling. I will go.

It's a dream. WAKE UP!

Why don't I wake up? No escape. Decision made. Move now. Before I'm completely engulfed by the darkness... 

I'm stepping. On to the road. Lights are going by me. No hits. Safe... Reached. All hands. Pulling me in? No! Don't push me back!

Hit.

Wake up... Why not now? Isn't it over, this dream?

I'm floating again... But I can see myself down there. Everyone walking over me. No voice. So silent. As Always. The Quiet One. Now bleeds to her death?

Blue lips. White face. Red blood. If this was France, I'd be called patriotic. Too bad I only have blue and white for India. No orange blood and green hair to support the rest.

Let's see. They're happy. But He isn't. Grandfather? What is this about a fern? I'm in the dark about what is happening. Yet all you do is a push a fern in my face.

The predecessor of terrestrial plants. Pteridophyte. One of the first to creep on land and conquer the landmass. But I'm no fern.

Simple in its beauty, simple in function yet such a complex nature in itself. If it could think I wonder if it would've been afraid to move away from water completely. Maybe.

Over-thinking kills. Now I know it literally. I shouldn't have crossed. Should have stood alone. Should let myself be engulfed in the darkness. It would've been gratifying. 

All that is light need not be good and all that is dark need not be bad.

I lost my chance.

Now I have neither - Dark nor light. 

I want to wake up. But I'm not... Why? Wakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeupwakeup. Maybe if I keep chanting it I will. I want to forget all of this.

It worked.

Opened my eyes. Darkness. Of course. It's early morning... Still time for the sunrise. A fern. What was the rest?

Grandfather. Specimen collection? Gardening competition? Decoration? I don't remember... Maybe I don't want to. 

Maybe it's just better to be in the dark. As I am now.

I am. In the dark. So simple. Now sleep...

One

I have been one.

I have been none.

I have been strange.

I have been won.

But I have not lied.

Not to my mind.

Not outright.

I'd die than try.

I have known love.

I have known its pain.

And I know even more,

The hurt when it's slain.

I have been faithful.

I have been me.

But if you care not.

I care not for thee.

I Dream

I dreamt you'd come

Though not this soon

But when you came

I was ready for you

Saved you a place

To be welcomed in -

Into more of my heart,

Did you creep in?

Not with a bang

But not in silence

I was half astonished

Then also frightened

For a moment

I wondered

If you'd steal it away

But then I knew

No one could take it away

Cause that's where you stay

And that's where I play

And those are my dreams

Where I dreamt of this day.
