Pretension

You have failed the pretension test.
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed.

You forgot you were sitting in front of someone
who has as high EQ as me!
Even sometimes better than me in terms of clarity.
Your different behavior was noted
And I had to cover up for you!

Also, I don't understand
Why you were so embarrassed.
I only know your glance
not your thought process;
Even I know your thoughts
I have enough power to absorb it.
The saddest part: It's me who is explaining things to you. :(

Attachment & Detachment

It's hard to explain
this attachment and detachment to You.
Unless you are seeing me
under the one roof
and with them.

Parents

Parents do sacrifice for their children.
But don't they think about themselves first
When they bring a baby into the world?
Aren't they selfish too?
A child is not born out of blue
It is born out of two people's extreme "pleasure", planning (and unplanning)

Don't they have any self-interest?
Because they want to get a slice of their childhood back?
Because they want to  fulfill their unfulfilled dreams and wishes?
Don't they think that their children would return them all of their INVESTMENT?

We are not god(s).
We have expectations.

Beast

The truth you said about me is harsh.
I know, I don't want to always face the BEAST within me;
You are someone
who has been sent to make me a better person.
My friend, I have taken your words to my heart
Though I wouldn't say this to you ever
I would try to nurture the quality of gratitude.
But you also don't know how my days were spent on a rocky desert
where everyone was engaged in a war of bitterness, anger, and frustration;
From which I took refuge in "Myself"
Probably that is the root of the BEAST.
The other thing is that
The harshest truth-your own survival comes first
The survival of the fittest-the basic instinct of an animal.

Longing

Love is not always sticking together like glue;
What is the value of love
if it doesn't teach you the charm of longing and waiting.

Abby

Abby, who is like a palm tree in the desert
wears white shirt and pant.
The best thing about him is that
he is gender neutral.
And he liked the name
I have given to him.

Cutie Pie

My Cutie Pie said:
"Aapke Alaaba mujhe kuchh dikhti nehi hain."
And I raised my collar;
Although it's a blatant joke
I liked the way she said it to me!

Testing II

I tested two people here;
And they failed.
They are too much involved in petty politics.

Knowledge does not make a person better or worse.
It is only the "equality, generosity, and compassion"
And when these things are considered
Even the person who brings me coffee
Would be on a higher plane.

Protection

My Jatni,
My Kashtrani,
Come back to me soon!

These days my head is so much
full of thoughts
That I fear it will explode!

My Jat friend,
You keep me sane
You keep me on the ground.

My Jat friend,
I come from a soft soil
And I am like the sweet Himsagar
Without you
Who would protect me from all these dirt?

Disjunct II

The moment I left the room,
I suddenly felt isolated and disjunct;
I felt you want to restrain people either in one box or other.
It seemed you don't understand
the value of exploration, making mistakes, and again finding your way back home.
