I Hate You, My Friend

For the people who have wronged me,
Here be my curse said whole heartedly;
Dark will be the things thou shall see,
For it comes from yours lovingly :)

A mokka figure will fall in love with thee,
Disturbed at her sight you will forever be;
Her super friend will be your soul mate,
But she has eyes only for your roommate.

The papers will say you won the big lottery,
Only for you to find they printed it all wrongly;
You will challenge me to a game in hamachi,
After defeating you big time, I ll say chi chi.

You will quit your job one fine day,
For an offer with much higher pay;
On the big day you ll be shocked to see,
Sitting on the interview chair ll be me :)

Awkwardness

Something out of place,
Nothing happy to embrace,
Tranquility replaced,
By a wry face.

Despite all I try,
Can't see eye to eye,
Neither can I pry,
Sigh.

A solution in need,
That is agreed,
Lest things recede,
And sadness be freed.

So give me a clue,
On what to do,
There be things I rue,
But its not time to bid adieu.

Blankness Is Bliss - SOS 6.x

Sothapals Of A Somberi

Semester 6
Chapter (Not Yet Decided)

Too many thoughts crowd in my head,
It is so bad I cannot even go to bed.
All these memories are making me mad,
For my life has become so so sad.

Then comes the blankness to come save me,
And out of this crappy life it sets me free;
Something I have tried has gone wildly amiss,
It is true, this blankness is bliss.

What was it that I tried? Why the blankness?
To know all this, keep reading, the Sothapals Of A Somberi :D

What I Desire

There is so much I desire in this world,
And you know the list goes well beyond gold;
I want a thousand things from life and more,
Even if I don't get one darn thing I'll go sore.

I want to live my lazy life for long,
And on a stage sing my favourite song;
I want a lot of things to stay the same,
And to write a full poem that ain't lame.

I so yearn to own those big big eyes,
For which am ready to pay any price;
I want to salsa with a girl the right way,
And to have my friends with me all day.

I want to be a dark villain in a cinema,
In a role that will forever remain an enigma;
Let no one tell me something is very wrong,
Whenever I sing my favourite song.

This is just a few of what I desire,
The list will only keep growing higher;
If you can give me any one of the above,
You will forever have my love :D

The Clueless Walk

My life is one long walk down a road,
Down a road whose destination is not known;
Not knowing where I go has been the fun,
The fun is what that keeps me going.

I often have found people to walk with me,
To walk with me on an otherwise lonely road;
Lonely road it has been when there was none,
There was none to speak or listen to.

My path has often been chosen by other people,
Other people who have their own path to follow;
To follow them gives me more time with them,
With them have I had many a cherished memories.

I have no clue where am supposed to go,
To go left or right is not my concern,
Not my concern for this I know well,
I know well that only the journey matters.

Happy Birthday!

May 29, Birthday of Mr.Sowmy Narayan aka the IronMan :D

His appearance can often be very deceptive,
Yet this lanky man is clever, witty and amusive;
The word that best describes him is uncanny,
For very few can be this geeky and this funny.

It took eighteen years for our paths to cross,
Yet it turned out to be worth the wait;
Now on this special day, I have only one to say,
To one of my closest friends,a happy birthday!


Happy Birthday man!

A Lazy Man's Lament

There once was this man living all quiet,
Yet no one knew his mind was like a riot,
Most people thought he was one lazy dude,
For his busy mind never did they intrude.

He never seemed to get anything done in time,
And his ambitions never seemed too high a climb;
No one noticed he did get all his work done,
For doing things at the last minute was fun.

His slow walk did they ever laugh at mockingly,
But all these things he never did take seriously;
In fact he never was serious when he should be,
For it let his alter ego be open for all to see.

His lack of interest in arguing, people do misread,
Didn't they know lazy ppl never like to argue or bleed;
He will keep safe what is given to him or he ll try,
And if it does get lost, he ll only say f it and move on.

He never understands why his lazyness upsets others,
Nor does he know why they look down at his lazyness;
Don't they know that being lazy is a real talent,
And the other word for being lazy is being efficient?

New Year Resolutions :)

I will no longer spend long hours gaming,

Rather I will concentrate more on studying;

I will not waste my time in vetti websites,

And find a physical activity like flying kites;

I will no longer think lazyness is good for me,

And accept the fact that hardwork is the key;

I will take notes in all the classes I attend,

And not be playing hollywood with my friend;

I will no longer cut classes for no reason,

And consider bunking an act of treason;

Importantly, tomorrow when I see this thing,

I shall not burst out laughing.

Happy New Year Ppl :)

Love?

When my eyes to her was drawn,

I knew not what i was feeling,

All other thoughts were gone,

For she was my only first love.

I was with her for five long years,

But never once did she know this;

Away from her now, I am in tears,

For she was my only first love.

To me she will forever appear a star,

Ever beautiful and beyond my reach,

Her memories will now only be a scar,

For she was my only first love.

I know she will one day go her own way,

'Cos she is as pretty and free as a dove;

Someday someone is gonna take her away,

For she was my only lost love.

P.S : The poem is about my first crush exaggerated for poetic reasons :D

Ode On Friendship

When I was born, I inhertied my family

And all my childhood it was all I had;

I can't forget how times passed happily,

For I always had my mom and my dad.

Then as time passed new problems awoke,

I knew not how to speak on this to them;

Then something called friendship arose,

I felt like I was on the world's helm;

I know now that friends are not inherited

And that you gotta be lucky to find real ones;

To lose them would make our hearts devasted,

For they show us the reality of life's essence.

With friends around, one can rule the world,

Atleast that is what they can make us believe;

All my life around me they have swirled,

I only wish to repay them before I am to leave.

IV To Ooty :)

Just a small poem about my dept IV. I haven't gone into any specific details of the trip, just an overview :)





The IV started on the 9th of July,
Into the sky did the crackers fly;
Our industrial visit was to Ooty,
For it was finally time to party!

An hour before midnight we started,
Into two big buses were we seated;
The drive at night didn't scare us,
Cos all the dancing made it no fuss.

It was drizzling when we saw our hotel,
Ah, the chilling climate had a lot to tell;
All day we were shivering under the sky,
Yet somehow all our moods were on a high.

All the places we saw had their own view,
I cannot fathom how fast the time flew;
We all danced to tunes, even the shy ones,
The questions session involved many a puns.

With many sighing hearts did the buses return,
The trip to ooty cannot easily be forgotten;
The co ordinators had done one hell of a job,
Remembering reguar classes all I can do is sob.

Square Root Of 3

This is a direct rip from the movie Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle. It is a poem recited by Harold in the climax. I know it sounds geeky but hell, I like it :)

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
A three is all that's good and right
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath a vicious square-root sign?
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick
With just some quick arithmetic
I know I'll never see the sun
As 1.7321
Such is my reality
A sad irrationality
When, hark, just what is this I see?
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square-root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.

No Single Soul

My life for long has been so bare,
For none came to show me some care,
Life for me had once been much better,
For I got no single soul to talk.

I feel my old friends are very far away,
For they have all gone their own way;
Now I have these new people 'round me,
Yet I got no single soul to talk.

Few people did make me open my mind,
And they all seemed to be very kind;
But in the end all I feel is regret,
So I got no single soul to talk.

They seemed to find my words so funny,
Yet every word I said was said in pain;
They made jokes of my memories and so,
Now I got no single soul to talk.

The Empty Test Note

I wake up on a Friday with full confusion,
Thanks to all the late night preparations;
My mind is buzzing with stuff from Maths,
I know luck is my only hope to get a pass.

With two test notes I enter the examination hall,
One look at the questions make my heart fall;
The only bright side was I needed only one note,
Later I decide to leave the hall with my mind afloat.

I wake up on the Monday feeling little satisfied,
With decent preparation I was no longer terrified;
Again I entered the hall but now with no tension,
But when I saw the test note I was in confusion.

'Maths' was on 'Subject' column in the test note,
When i realized things my heart so nearly broke;
The events of Friday in my mind soon begin to run,
And if I still had the answer note, then the empty one...

The Road Not Taken

I wrote this during my counseling for getting into college after my 12th. Here it goes.

Two roads diverged in the yellow woods,
One of them led to SSN IT in Chennai,
The other lesser known one to TCE C Sc,
And it was a difficult decision to make.

The road to SSN was today s trend,
Also it meant i can be with my friends;
But high fee no dream job it had,
And it was a difficult decision to make.

Lesser known of the two to me shown,
A path where i had to start alone;
It would be a new adventure for me,
And it was a difficult decision to make.

Finally like tat poet i chose the lesser one,
Since i knew i wud never be alone anywhere;
I don't regret this decision or so i hope,
For it was a difficult decision made.

Note : I wrote this knowing nothing about the two colleges except from what I heard from others. So any attempts in judging them at that time were meaningless.

THE Duel

Ever since my childhood i have wondered about God and science and the conflicts between them. This poem is based on this ever debated topic.

"Only God can save you", said my heart,
My brain to that replied "that's rubbish";
Between these two voices was I caught,
For I did not know which was gibberish.

My heart said that God really existed,
A proof my brain immediately demanded;
"Look around you, the things He has created!"
"Evolution and time are the true creator".


"If God did exist, tell me why,
Why are there thieves and killers?
And why so many innocent die
When God is indeed a true lover?"

"It is a test that we all must take,
For only to live is our duty and
Leave the rest to Him for our sake
As He created this life and this sand"

Thus raged the battle within me forever,
And I knew not which one to trust,
For both were filled with power;
I will know only when I go to dust.

The Dying Man

This is something i wrote some time back when i had left my mind to
wander...

The stars on the sky he was counting,
Lying on the river bed of a river red;
In his heart he knew he was dying,
As a bright darkness engulfed his eyes.

He had often wondered what death brings,
Now for the moment of truthness come,
Waited he with broken heart,dead brain
Saw scenes,vaguely familiar were some.

As doom approached,a voice spoke in him
"Chasing ever a dream i lived my life,
Found it not for i knew it not,that
Life is folly,life is full of sorrows"

"I was born unknown, now die unknown
Just like a worm,though I in the end
Was brought down by treachery,like many;
Betrayal-the gift for all acts by me"

His heart was delirious,his mind clear
"We live everyday only to die one day,
One day we die for others to live everyday
Thus goes on the endless circle of life"

"We try to answer questions before we die,
And find the answers only after we die"
Thus realizing,he forgave and forgot all
With truth realized,he smiled...
