NDTV's stupid reporter.

I like NDTV, both India & 24X7...

But today NDTV India had one of those stupid things on national television. As far as my memory is concerned good, 20 people have been electrocuted(once 7 in a single day, later another 5) in the so-called world class capital of India, and today when it is raining so awesomely (not for the people stuck on roads), one of NDTV's reporters, covering Greater Kailash area was standing in foot deep water! She was screaming her lungs out while covering the waterlogged streets and even though the place where she stood was about less than a foot under water (she was closer to the pavement and behind her you could see cars moving, in a clearly interior road of GK ), she screamed that the water was knee-deep, and causing massive jams(in her brain, which is why she couldn't stand on the pavement and cover the story)! Wow! Everyone trying to be Barkha Dutt and putting their lives on stake! Good job gal.

Amazing na! :P

I am just praying that the good monsoon reaches Bihar in 3-4 days as claimed by news agencies, so that the drought hit state gets a reprive! Amen.

Lets run away

let's run away...
where it's just you and me...
with our hands entwined...
walking into the night...

let's run away...
where there's no other being...
where one has never been...
and one has nothing to say...

let's run away...
to a place so far...
and there are just so many stars...
and a moon besides me...
let's run away
where i can kiss you...
just like the rain drop, which falls on the petal...
and embraces it, with a tender passion...

let's run away...
where we become one...
and in a moment of passion, blinded by each other...

let's run away...
where we leave footprints in time...
with each spring of our step...
the moments bounce back...
and rejoice in a puny whirlwind...

let's run away...
so that when there's no feelings...
no thoughts... no words left ...
to each other we'll just have one thing to say:
let's run away...


 - just another one by me...

Rain drops

Now that one of the best monsoons in the history of Delhi is seemingly over, here I am posting a poem which I had written on 19th March 07 (for those who know the importance of the date). A friend came out of the interview room and said that as she had written 'poetry' in the hobbies section of her resume`, she was asked to recite one. Since I too had written the same at that time, but hadn't really memorized anything, I made this one up in a haste...

they fall down with the thunder
while i stand under...
under them i recall my moments...
my moments which make me wonder...
i wonder about my painful past...
a past that pains me beyond tolerance
i wish the drops would wash away the pain
a free soul, i'd like to gain...
but i gained a heart full of guilt
the flashes of lightning make me blink
i close my eyes and my heart sinks
the violent wind rustles up my hair
i don't know why i exist here
when the eyes swell, the vision blurs
but it doesn't fade the agony away...
then the tears mix with the raindrops and
i take heart, for someone weeps with me...

Naheeeeee...... RIP - Billo Rani
