Poems and Stories

  THE SILENT WARRIOR From dusk to dawn They stood by your side Holding your hands During waves and tides With a smile on the face They ran every race However hard was their day They never said a No To see their loved one Have fun and grow They cared for their moms Pampered their wives Faught for their sisters Plunging the knifes Deep in their heart Had accepted their fate Still, they kept fighting For their soulmate Bombarded were they With expectations and sacrifice Yet they tried to keep quiet Just to be nice They are hurt. Every time When someone distrusts them But they accept and move on As a part of the game. They are judged by their marks Categorized by their looks Taunted for their failures And success overlooked Their feelings are just toys With which people play Use them for their purposes And throw them away. They fight every day From morning to night Without even a grudge Be in dark or in light They adjust, they care They never make you sad Still the society  Tags t...

  THE POEM OF A LEDGER You may love currencies, I love the codes. You may gain lots of money I gain, some scores. You may fade off from the scheme Deny what you got I am but a record keeper, And I know your accord. You may spend some millions To please your family and wife, I know which hashes worked Blocks are but my life. World banks fall, economies crash, People blame “Oh, the system is trash”, Deep down we know the struggle, To keep safe, your lovely cash. Hack the world, hack you’re most Secured and safe treasure, But none can guess what was The sequence of the ledger. Now it’s not that I can do whatever I like With huge sums to transact, I am always at the spikes Holidays are meant for all, to live life, in pleasure, Nobody cares for me here, because I am a ledger.

  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 k...

  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 l...
