THE LAST LAP

 THE LAST LAP





Life has taken a toll
Since I was born
Cheerful, I tried to be
From inside I was torn.
My emotions were challenged
Every now and then
Everyone left me, crying alone in the rain.
Life is hard, I know
Mostly it is never on your side
Up to the sky, you will be raised
Only to be swallowed by the tide.
Friends at school were never close
They just pretended to be
For in all the wars, I stood alone
None standing by me.
Fame, Name, I have earned few
But only these won't suffice
For human is a social being
They need some people nice.
Well, moreover dude, this is India
And I am born a boy
The puppet of family ambitions
And an emotional toy
I am not supposed to have
Any heartbreaks, never cry
Even if I am sad my friend
I am supposed to lie.
To wear a smile, how fake it might be
But never drop a tear
May the nights be pitch black
But I am not allowed to fear.
Yes, this made me a Lion
A brave lion in the war
But the lion is wounded now, 
Fighting alone so far.
Wars come, I keep them winning
But my swords are trembling
Someday the blades might break forever
Leaving my blood oozing.
Well, my fortune was a bigger player
It played a worse game
For when I somehow recovered
My life got her name.
A love, a bond, care I felt
Was flowing from her to me
But I was only fooled 
Because it was just a gimmick
Despite I tried to swim ashore
With my last pump of breath
I was only sinking down
Deep below the trade.
Still, I kept trying so hard
To win her somehow
But at last, I realized
That I am dead now.
My emotions, my hopes 
All have been buried
I am just living in silence,
So you won't find me worried.
Dedication? I have lost it
Just walking towards my grave
Breathing my last breaths and counting my days
But yet, with this wounded livery
I have to fight once more
To show the world who the Lion is 
To burn again and roar
But I promise you, once I am done
I won't ask for any reward
I will slide away at peace
Because I know I'm not a coward
I have battled, borne scars
Wore badges of sacrifice
Only I had a small problem, my luck wasn't that nice
But nothing to repent
Because I know I am done
Taking away the remorse with me
Giving you all the fun
And I know when you will read this
In your mind, you will clap
The life I led has come to end
I am in my last lap.

FROM THE OTHER END : PART 1

      Adi went to bed very late that night. Luckily, the next day was Sunday. So he could peacefully sleep for a long time. But wait. You guys don't know what he had actually done. Neither did Adi himself know. Well, before jumping into his weirdest works, let me give you a brief heads up about this talented guy and his works of talent. Well, I am not making any sarcastic remarks here. Adi indeed was talented. After all, he was a student at the prestigious Cambridge University. A brilliant student with an exceptional brain in Quantum Computing. Legends claim that he was previously a hacker who used to hack around for noble causes. Like the deletion of thousands of vulgar content from the dark web, targeting and bankrupting paedophiles and transferring that money to welfare organizations and NGOs, being completely hidden. Although there has been no strong evidence to prove that but his daily lifestyle proves the claim. Adi is a typical nerd. He gets up late, rushes to his college, g

THE CYBER FRIEND

  THE CYBER FRIEND Lucifer     Life is an amazing journey. No one knows where they are going to land. Some earn unbound fame and some become latent depending on time, situation, and state of mind. But the fact is, no one can predict or know in advance how it is all going to be. Some say that is the fun about life. While some feel a bit more comfortable knowing stuff beforehand. And sometimes life itself plays it mesmerisingly        It all begins with the lockdown of 2020. The world was served miseries by China's first authentic product, the Novel Corona Virus. This had a great impact on the entire globe, snatching jobs, causing discomfort, unbound number of infection cases, and deaths. Those who survived were living in trauma. Relative, friends, and loved ones were lost, governments became bankrupt. On one such remorseful evening, Ranveer went up the terrace and stood quietly. Suddenly a call comes and he rushes down to attend to it. He sits by his laptop and completes the projec

Mission: HAYABUSA

  MISSION HAYABUSA --- Lucifer     Once someone rightly said, "If you want something from the very bottom of your heart, you will definitely get it someday. Maybe later, but for sure." Love too follows the rule. Separations can come, and hearts might get broken due to certain scenarios. But if you stick to your faith in love, you will find it one day.       As Perman was leaving for the Bird planet, Pako was waving goodbye, along with her colleagues, Payan and Booby. But little did she know that the departures would be so painful. That night, when Pako sat on her bed, removed her Perman set, and turned into herself, into Sumire Hoshino, she began to feel a queer pain down her heart. She felt as if something was missing. She took her Perman badge and was about to make Perman a call. But then she remembered what Birdman had said. "You cannot use it for personal purposes. You will need to use it only when you are in an emergency and need backup." So she refrained from
