Don't Give Up ..........

Hav you ever been deprieved of something you felt was yours ?
Hav you felt lost for words when you needed them most ?
Hav you felt numb at times when the obstinate mind refused to budge?
Hav you lost battles and carried on in hope of winning the war?

I have and I believe everybody has too.

The world is there to be won,
don't lose it without trying.
The life is there to be lived,
don't die,continue prying.

Path is downtrodden and obstacles
stand on your way to zenith.
Either stay down mesmerized
or simply conquer your mind.
Stand tall and smash the life's
googly forty rows back.
Be the finicky who gained his
identity by striving continuously.

Don't lose heart this time if you lose.
Remember as this sophomore poet says,
The biggest losers are those who
gave it up without trying.

LIFE,FOOTBALL,INDIA !!!

LIFE , FOOTBALL , INDIA ! ! ! !
Life is football or football is life,
that I can't really decide and
I would leave that to you to surmise.
It only takes a few minutes for people
to realize,that patriotism in their hearts
is kicking and alive.

One goal is his "Renaissance",
for yesterday he was called a "Has been".
As Zidane soars and Ronaldinho mourns,
frenzy is there for all to see with our eyes.
Now I feel that life isn't fair,
as I watch greatest of players disappear,
Fire in their hearts still burning alive,
but their chance to perform has come and gone by.

Players stake their claim at immortality,
by divulging to us their innate talent on field.
They want to be named along with
" PELE and MARADONA"
And the stage called world cup is for all to see.

Being in india I watch live games at midnight
and catapult with joy as other nations rejoice !
Conscientiously I feel sorry for Brazil
and Argentina,
But my biggest regret is Indian team missing
from the arena.I hope one day our team will
be playing real high and winning the world cup
is a dream we'll realize.

Meanwhile,It's 2:30 at night and the match is finished,
So I'd better go and get a good sleep at night.
In my sleep I dreamt of playing for my country,
Was about to score a goal but it turned out otherwise.
It felt like a red card but soon I realize ,
it was my dearest mommy waking me up at 11:05.

Conundrum of Life

They say life is a conundrum,
So please help me in it being defined.
The more I try to solve it,
More the imbroglio catches me before trying.
May be I need an anodyne,
to help me appease my confused mind.
One day I feel on top of the world,
Next day I've fallen right behind.
Sometimes I think i cerebrate too much,
Maybe that leads to me writing on these lines.

So far my life has been a bricolage,
coz' the ride has solely been a carpe diem.
I hope the nidus of commonsense in this brain of mine,
helps me get over this grind.
Ab initio I have been a hedonist,
but the transformation train to
becoming an ascetic is running on the line.
These machiavellian ways of people,
have always kept me thinking twice.
Ohh!! this so called poem is about to end
and I guess the conundrum of life is something
that cannot be defined.
