SHALLOWS

When the skies turned dark

When the storms came close.

When you lost your last ray of hope.

When the world turned away,

Your dearest left you

And the people whom you trusted,

Betrayed you.

When the stress held you back

When hurdles startled you

When failures caused you pains

Tears rolled past your cheeks

And anxiety swallowed you.

You had none by your side

When you were being tossed

By the time's ruthless tides.

Your love was taking you easy

Your friends were all away and busy

When you had responsibilities to take

And help you to make

Yourself. Then,

I held your hands.

I stayed by your side

Supported you in all lows

Praised you in your highs

You have tried to work along

And I too worked for

Just to make you victorious

And outshine this war.

Do you remember?

When you used to weep.

You felt everything was ending

And the pace you couldn't keep.

I motivated you, 

Loved you, cared for you.

You scolded me, misunderstood

Yet, I stayed, never getting rude.

I was suffering, but I healed you.

You were getting empty, but I filled you

With compassion, with hope

To help you take hold of the life, 

Firmly holding the rope.

Despite these, when I needed a small favour

You changed. Changed forever.

Luckily, you got back your love

Your long lost life

The happiness that you needed

The care that you pleaded.

And forgot me.

I became a secondary.

I became negative for you.

Amazing, you showed your colours true.

And left me hollow, 

More broken than I was.

That was your success dear.

Applause. Applause.

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
