Noise.

Stop the construction
My ears hurt from constant noise
I need some silence.

Rusted Mast

We grow up!
We grey up!

All those rosy lanes,
Become a part of rain

The memories are vast,
Amidst the rusted mast

The life keeps going,
Like a sail-boat sailing

The winds determine our directions,
far we move from our affections

To touch the waves high,
Slowly that of which fade out of sight

I always end up meeting myself,
the one who questions me of my Self!

Why didn’t you do this and did that?
Why was there always a hidden want in ‘that’?

I don’t know what to answer
for Life is a huge wander!!!

The place where I belong today
Is where I was destined to be anyway

Be this or that or want or desire,
what still remains in that Fire

Up the stream I might reach the shore,
the ‘Shore’ which I was born to reach!

The place which would calm the fire, answer to me self
of all this, that and wants of my self!

My Mentor

“Follow your dreams!” said Everyone.
“Trust your dreams! Turn them true!” said most of those Everyone.
“Sadaf, do what you think you are best at. Learn to trust your Self.” Said My Mentor.

My Mentor, knew me too well.
Meeting her was Destiny, rather say my good luck!
She chose me from a lot, (I am glad to be chosen by you)!
She chose me for she knew, my dreams were lost.

Reason for the loss, she knew it too well!
My dreams were over shadowed, powered and mocked.
They were cluttered, put in a box, kept in a closet and locked!

Key lost! (Sigh)

But wait!! How did she know me so well?

How had she read my mind?
I wondered why her words were so clear and she was always right.
Was she some fairy in disguise?

Whoever she was, she is My Mentor!

The one who held me when I was weak and shivering in winter
The one who taught me to balance my soul when I stumbled upon stones

The one who made me feel my worthwhile uniqueness
The one who knew me better than I knew myself

The one who helped me redefine my dreams, chasing the best of the ones I had
The one who lightened my soul to Nirvana, answering me of questions which I always had

Her eyes always said, “I trust you!”
That faith, made me run the extra mile!
Her confidence made me feel stronger and more realized!

She had become my mirror challenging me to be the best and perfect being

And your existence, My Mentor makes me believe
you are My tale’s Fairy Godmother
And God has been kind to me!

 Thanks Niti Ma'am for being my Mentor and my friend!
Happy birthday Ma'am! :)

Knight on a White Horse

I see you when I see my self

I feel you when I feel my self

Who are you and why are you here?

Your presence is comforting yet so rare!

The way you say things it feels you read my own thoughts

We walk the woods hand-in-hand in the bright moon-lit song

When you are here just right beside me,

Then why can’t I see?

My wait is eagerly waiting for my handsome Knight

Dressed up to take me by might on the moment right

So, come in riding the White Horse!!!

I know you exist

But I can’t see you because of the mist

Come hold my wrist

And give my life the perfect twist

Together we shall enjoy the seasons

The togetherness shall last till the last sun.

Mi amigo experto (My savvy friend)

Sweet isn’t what I would call her but she surely is savvy.

This lady has a wonderful charm and a mysterious aura around her. Since the time I know her which was when she used to come for attendance in the hostel at 7:30 pm till date she has changed with time and become more smarter and has developed a keen understanding of the world, but one thing that hasn’t changed is that she is my friend and has always been the Best one. She has given me all rights to wake her up at any time I am in need of her help.

Sadiqa meaning ‘the truthful’ indeed has been very true to her name. She can be rude but at least she won’t lie. From watching movies together, to haircuts, to malls, to rickshaws, to photography, to kittens, to singing, to almost anything and everything She has been my companion throughout.I travelled for the first time in DTC with her and also bunked many a classes and partied with her. I also remember that night when we were talking to a friend of ours and it was early morning and at that moment we experienced the supernatural!! :O 
My only experience of ghosts!

She is a wonderful singer and her sweet melodious voice. She can sing in almost any language and can mesmerize you with her songs.

She is a perfect artist. Can visualize almost anything in the best artistic form..:D Hehe!!


A typical Arian Lady who is full of energy and enthusiastic about many a dreams she has.I just wish that she gets whatever she wants and deserves and that we remain friends forever and always.

Happy Birthday Sadi! :-*
