Finally Lost My Fishing Virginity!!

 ... But it was in that moment of "pleasure" that a cord struck...

What kind of animals are we humans?
We love killing so much, we invented guns.
Our lives are an epitome of hypocrisy,
This epiphany dawned on me Thanks to a lil fishy.

I cast my line, and waited with 'baited' breath,
The scotching sun, made my edifices sweat.
When suddenly i felt a tug that pulled on my line,
Oooh baby that fish is soo mine!!

As i reeled it in, it repelled and fought back,
It struggled, probably knowing the prawn was its last snack.
As its body emerged from the water, i was proud of what I did,
The joy and excitement on my face i couldn't rid.

Gaping, struggling to breathe, trying to break free,
The fish wanted to live, but i was blinded by my glee.
Posed for photos, proud of my catch,
Unwittingly, seeds of sadism began to hatch.

I yanked the hook from its gaping mouth,
Still I din't see its struggle or pout.
Cast it aside to let it flutter,
Let my empathy & sympathy flow down the gutter.

Three fish later, I called it a day,
Felt rewarded like it was some sort of pay.
The drive back home, got gears of thought into motion,
Deluded, & with a false sense of pride I've come up with this notion.

We're barbaric, no animal does what we do,
Watch videos of hunting and killing while sitting in the loo.
We kill for fun & pleasure and call it sport.
Here's my own hypocrisy put down in a note.

We're hopelessly doomed, things will never get better,
Cynical I may sound, so sue me with a letter.
We thrive on suffering, while making ours go away,
We advocate for peace, while with sentiments and emotions we play.

Watching a fish die may seem rather insignificant,
But that's heartlessness, that's so very blunt.
I'm not canvassing for vegetarian diets or renouncing fish n meat,
I'm just saying we're cruel, and proud of a deplorable feat.

Judge me by this, abuse if you must,
A lil hatred will ensure I don't get my own bust.
Let's atleast, be kinder to the people we meet and live around,
By courtesy, and genuine concern, let our lives be bound.

A Tribute To The One I Love

When you see nothing but dryness and sand, When you feel lonely and alone you stand, When you feel the world has left you alone, And the only one you trust is your clone, You desperately look for someone to meet, But all you find is only deceit. Friends you once had, disappear, And anger disperses all that fear, You wait for an opportunity to hit back, But as time passes, you lose track. Your heart believes in no one, And you realize your life is done, You look for ways to escape, But feel like you’re bound by tape. Your body starts becoming weak, Your future seems bleak, You see no light at the end of the tunnel, You feel like your being sucked through a funnel. Your heart with pain begins to yell, To the devil your soul you sell, You begin to lose hope, With life you cannot cope. When you feel today is your last day, I will come to you and say, “I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU, These five words I swear to you, When your life seems blue, I’ll make sure you get through.”

A Fine Line Called 'Tolerance'

“I have a dream….that all men are created equal”. Many a great people believed in this, the likes of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi and many more, they lived and died for what they believed in, yet their obsession had not the slightest hint of revenge or violence. They were filled with passion for a religion that they believed in, the religion of harmony, serenity and peaceful cohabitation. Today's religious fanatics however subvert the notion of religion to suit their own narrow interpretations, call it tunnel vision, if you may, and through this try settle their own personal vendettas. This sow the seeds of intolerance, which are then lapped up by people, largely incapable of critical thinking. A religion as per most dictionaries is a set of practices often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. All religions preach and practice peace and tolerance and the main a...

Goa: In My Eyes!!

Goa -365 days on holiday- that is what the Goan atmosphere makes you feel like. The scintillating sunsets, the crystal clear water and the snow coloured sand all attract not only tens and hundreds but thousands of tourists from all over.  Tourists, foreign or native, black or white, vegetarian or non-vegetarian, Hindus or Muslims, Sikhs or Parsis, Christians or Jews after being tormented my either extreme heat or bitter cold find that the climate of Goa and her beaches provide an earthly heaven for their tortured souls!! The waters and the sand cater to the needs of the skin and with its refreshing freshness, it brightens up even the gloomiest faces. Each and every beach right from the tip of Goa to its tail have their own specific characteristics; from velvet like sand to rock wave breakers, from pebble strewn beaches to shell laden castle making material, not only cause endless happiness and satisfaction but also leave you with emotion filled memories enough to last you a life ti...
