Pancakes

Is there that one perfect breakfast ( Hobby, job or partner) in our life, that once we find it, we don't need anything else ? And if there is one, isn't it ironic that the only way to find this one thing u are gonna stick to forever is keep on trying new stuff ? Or should we settle with what we find first ?

I know a guy

I know a guy,
who finds it often, tough to get by..
He'z in a flux,
he'z always trying, to try his luck.

These crossroads, he revisits often
Trying to weigh carefully, his two simple options.

Hold on to his cards,
or move on for better ones.
That's the eternal trade,
Many have faced this two faced gun..

Its a gamble after all,
with both the devil and angel
at your shoulder, waiting for the call.

I know a guy,
who finds it often, tough to get by..

Johnson's Baby Ad

Rarely does an ad catch my eye... and believe me I being an ad lover am always on lookout for them.. This one just left me speechless... It comes from a legendary brand too.. Johnson's is synonymous with baby products all over India and the world too ( i guess) As a marketer, we r taught in books, that sex sells.. I would put beauty above that.. That brings me to think what are the most beautiful things in the world.. Nature ?? Isn't this precious look on the baby's face the most natural thing one could ever chance upon.. yet so rare !! Coming back to the text books.. All one needs to do is .. There i go again.. Trying to analyze and make sense of stuff.. I ll let the marketer in me a rest today.. Sit back and enjoy the beauty of Nature :)

I know a gal

I know a gal
She puts the color inside of my world
Shez just like a maze
And she frowns, at every wrong step I take.


Its weird, how she makes me feel a winner
And the very next day,
I feel I m grossly inadequate.


She , has her own rules
But then my heart , she rules
I can get sad about how she behaves
But then, i don't have a say


She, She has a smile
Ohh wat a smile
Ohh wat a smile
I cud go on for a while.


I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
Shez just like a maze
And she frowns, at every wrong step I take.


Oh she frowns , a lot of times.

Open up..

Ended my summer interns with a beautiful play at Prithvi with Phonethics teammates.
A perfect ending to what started as a creative adventure.
I learned some amazing things I would never learn.
Worked with some very creative and gifted people.
Learned some harsh lessons and identified some critical shortcomings in myself.
But most importantly (and ironically), in this quest to unearth the digital world, I fell in love with something centuries older : Theatre.
This brings me to the topic of this post.
Be open. You never know what will come your way.
Learn. Unlearn. Relearn.

Superpowers

I remember the days when we played for hours
When we were young, we thought we had superpowers.

We climbed the trees, with our pichkari gun,
Shot every passer by, we always won.

We had our cycles and we rode them all day
Did all the stunts, although we'd fall each day.

A footbal or a cricket bat was all we needed for the summers.
Tie the ball in a sock,increase the stroke for endless hours.

Jump in the puddles, run in the rain
have the dirtiest clothes: no regrets, no shame.

Throw some talc on the floor, and wow we could slide
Stand infront of the fan, and we could fly and glide.

I remember the days when we played for hours
When we were young, we really had Superpowers.
