The second in series... Read and Enjoy!! :)

Hey folks, I am just trying my hand at creating a comic strip series. This is the first one. 'Stiky & Sticky '. This is the intro strip for these guys. I will be calling it S&S from the next strip on. Stiky & Sticky - The first time we met....... Do let me know your feedback on this one. Thanks to www.stripcreator.com

The last one of the trilogy. I thot of makin this another tragic end like most of my poems. But, due to popular demand. I had to make the ending predictable and happy. :) Hope you enjoyed the series :D The Memories that were buried deep down in my insane heart, Did not stay there for too long, I just let them die, I knew I had to play my part, As a husband, a father and let the past just fly by. It was son’s high school year when she came back, She wanted to meet; she gave me a call, I knew I was strong at heart and I would cut no slack She told me she had loved me too much and made a request too tall. She wanted to be mine now…After all these years. I told her I was married and I had a son, The next moment, I could see her still angelic face, wet with tears, I did not know what to do; I stood there, every single second wanting to run. She told me, she would go, But, she wanted a first and a last kiss, My conscience wouldn’t let me do it, B’cos I loved my wife that much so, My life til...

Between 2 friends, maybe very close or may not be close, they could just be friends. Assume that the guy has feelings for the gal all of a sudden. Like I said before, the guy decides to tell her. "Hey, I have started feeling differently about u lately... blah blah.... this is off topic" The gal if interested says 'Yes' and all is well. OMG here comes the other if. NO??!!?? Ok now wats the next step. I have commonly seen the gal starting to distance herself from the guy. Cmon give him a break he is not gonna stalk you. Guys give her a break. She said NO which means any amount of hanging around doesnt work. So give up and atleast be sane enough to respect her feelings and her space. If you are very close friends, give it a small gap, may be one or 2 days, call back and just be normal. DO NOT ATTEMPT to talk about wat happened unless u r sure, both u and her are comfortable talking about it. Otherwise, its best to avoid it. Agreed it is tough to start with. A few days, a...

A guy looks at a pretty gal, hmm lets say in college, office, wherever. Now, the guy really likes her and the gal doesnt know who this guy is. Our hero, manages to find a common friend from somewhere. The guy now takes the initiative and starts talking to our heroine. And then they meet here and there and slowly, they become friends, then close friends and closer friends and closest friends and so on... Here our Hero has lost his focus and direction. Why did he start talking to her? He liked her a lot and he maybe wanted to go out with her/date her and then make her his gal friend and if everything goes ok.... his Wife..... WTH!!! And now he is her BEST FRIEND!! [Don ever say that again] Here's the deal, the guy likes the gal and he expects her to go out with him... Well, wats he waitin for? Whoever said 'Pyaar Dosti hai' deserves to be shot. So this is the idea... We r best friends now... As there is no higher level, lets jus become lovers eh??? Shoot again with a bigger g...

We all know the proverb “Practice makes ‘a Man’ perfect” Well, my take on “Why has the Woman been left out?” Thought1 (Extreme Optimist): “A Woman was already perfect, she doesn’t need any practice” Thought2 (Pessimist/Chauvinist): “No matter what a Woman does, she can never be perfect” Thought3(Optimist): “A Woman is never satisfied, at a point when she thinks she’s perfect, she thinks complacency is setting in” P.S: I am always an OPTIMIST , so all women there spare me!!!

This is the second in the trilogy of poems..... Here it is!! Things did change….Life had to go on……. Living every moment just to know what was beyond…. I made a lot of money …… earned a lot of fame… For myself in this world, I had made a name…… No one to share with, the taste of success so sweet, All these days it was one thought that was haunting me - It was her I was dying to meet. Where she was I had no clue… Although in my heart she lived I knew…. I asked her friends, I asked my foes…. I wanted to find out if someone knows…. To no avail of course…… For some reason I knew I will never meet her again… Thinking about her - I started to refrain….. For, I now had a family to care for…. I knew it was all over, Not just for now, but for ever…… Still some where deep down in my heart – insane, The Memories Remain……….!!!!

Why is it that people(read women) get all suspicious wen u tell them the truth??? I make some acquaintances through some common friends or something..... really doesnt matter..... On day 1, I see her say hi and bye and prolly leave.... Imagine some other day, she's well dressed and pretty........ I am more a person who speaks out as I think...... :D Hence, I would walk up and say "Hey ur looking good today" and prolly go on with a conversation...... This is where the problem lies..... The gal now thinks im trying to flirt or hit on her!! :O !!! WTH!?!?!?!?! Is it so wrong to compliment anyone?? Its not like I actually say it to the gal wen shes alone or somethin...... I say it irrespective of anybodys presence/absence.... I dont expect anything outta it!! Its a simple comlpiment. U can thank me if u want to or just let it go!!?!?!?! :-s Is this behavior a regional/cultural aspect that has somethin to do with traditions or something? What exactly induces such irrationa...

This is the start of a trilogy of poems..... A series of 3 poems, more so to say a story. I think I started out with this idea thinking it was something new. I have no clue on how this will come out. The 3rd poem in the trilogy is something I am still working on. Do let me know what you think of it..... Those days, when everything was so right, The heart that was beating for her, every day every night, The eyes that only wanted to see her, The mind, how beautiful she was, just to wonder, The ears only to listen to what she was going to say, Loving her every moment, pondering - she too may, She didn’t break my heart, She tore “me” apart, The very reason for my being was defeated…..Or so I thought, The only greenery in my life now going through a drought….. I don’t know why she didn’t love me …………… Was it something about the way she wanted me to be? Was it something else in me she looked for? She didn’t tell me……… I still wander in search of the reason… She set my thoughts free, And no m...

The goddam irony..... I get a Visa to do my Masters!! :D

"He rose high on the sky only jus to give us all the light.... He shone all day with all his might... Wen we din need him anymore, he decided to shy... Only jus to rise another day!!" P.S: Straight out of the cam except for the border and signature on the pic...!! A620 | F7.1 |1/1250s -- The settings I used....

This picture was clicked in VGP Beach Resort. It was clicked in sepia mode to give it a vintage feel. The gear I used and the details of the mode....A620 | F4 |Shutter speed priority| 1/500( I had no clue that I had set the Shutter speed tat high for this pic....and the mode so not the rite one)The pic has a kinda blur bcos I had screwed up the settings ....and resizing it screwed it even further..... But, kinda enjoyed the final feel and composition of the picture.....

Ok I come to wonder about the origin of a certain phrase....and almost my motto!! "Variety is the spice of life" My take on the origin... Q :What is the plural of mouse...?? A :Mice Now you know wat Im gettin at?? Hmm here goes........ The plural form of Spouse by this derivation is Spice ;)............ :D "In Spice lies the variety of life" :D :D :D!! P.S: The picture wasnt clicked by me....

I was walkin by and all of a sudden this beauty appears there... Inside Infy shols... I just liked the way the light came out on this picture.... I wud love to know wat flowers those are.... and sadly I had to use my mobile phone to click that pic!!! :-s

This is a pic tat I tried shooting in the color accent mode..... Liked the blend of colors......

This is the picture of a 15-day old Pug. This guy was so willing to pose albeit he was in a state of torpor!! :)

When I first saw you, You were the one for me, I knew. All the world looked colored to me, For I knew You were my love to be. To talk to You was I keen, 'Cos that much to me, You did mean. When I spoke to You, I always heard, the melodies unsung by a cuckoo bird. You are not in my dream, i dont sleep a wink, 'Cos all thro' the day and night, about You I think. I long to see You wherever I go, 'Cos I love You that much so. I think You luv me too, tell me my thought is true...

Gone are those days of sheer happiness and fun, Sweet memories flash by- thinking about things we’ve done, Those years were total bliss. The first few years – no one we did know, As time flew by – didn’t want to let anyone go, Because we would miss anyone and everyone so. We became so indispensable for each other – not a clue we had, All the times together were just crazy and mad. Not a thing of fun we did not do, Everything could get us into lots of trouble, we knew, Nothing could stop us though! All the hilarious moments and all those little fights, Talked and joked about these – all through the day and endless nights. It’s all over now, No one really knows – when, where and how? ‘Cos Life’s like that! No one knows where and when next – we all meet, Till then and forever will last – so fine and sweet. Because gone are those days….. !

It was Sameera’s wedding and all her friends were there to celebrate the occasion. Her friends from her old workplace saw her and Vinay with a look that can be termed hateful. Vinay and Sameera were equally puzzled with this indifferent behavior from people whom they considered friends. But they just went on with the celebration. Sameera and Vinay worked with 2 different leading IT concerns before they went off to the US of A to pursue their higher education. Sameera’s and Vinay’s offices were close to each other and so were their houses. Sameera’s office was on the way to Vinay’s. Vinay used to commute by his own bike or car to office and even though Sameera had paid for her office bus, she used to go with Vinay most of the days. And getting back home was not a very different story. All of Sameera’s friends in office knew that she had a boyfriend and was committed. They did not know anything about her boyfriend, not even his name or where he worked. They knew she was being picked up a...

When I think about you, I just feel like…. the world is born anew, ‘Cos friends like you, Are really very few. When my mind is filled with problems, And I don’t have a clue , About what to do…. I think of you – the way you go about them, They vanish without a trace – believe me ! When I feel sad and forlorn, ‘Cos of neglection & desolation, I think of you… The way you care for me… Within no time I know , I’ve undergone rejuvenation ! When I feel guilty after wrong doing, And when the whole world is cursing me, I think about you – the way you accept my mistakes time & again… I feel absolved and the pain in my heart is alleviated ! When I feel bored with life, I think about you – the way you keep me entertained, I just feel great and interested in everything I see, ‘Cos you are simply the best - trust me! I think of you all these times… ‘Cos I can’t stop thinking about you, Neither during these times nor the other, ‘Cos friends like you are really very few!!! When I think about ...

It was the time when life had become monotonous and boring……. In this world of evil and selfish people, not one to trust……… I sat in solitude, waiting to see someone loving and caring…….. That was when I saw Her, when all emotions in me, surged up with an intense up thrust……… I walked up to her – For, who she was I wanted to know…. The angel within - in her eyes I could see………… Thoughts about her and me in my heart started to flow………. ‘Cos, now I knew she could be the one to complete my life, complete me……. I mustered all the courage left in me, and told her what she meant to me……… I knew I couldn’t hear no for an answer, I knew I wouldn’t be able to withstand it…….. She agreed and she promised, with me she will be……… My joy knew no boundaries and the happiness knew no limit………… I knew there was something about her all along…….. I knew I loved her more than life…… I was sure nothing could ever go wrong…… And she was the one who was meant to be my wife………… All of a sudden, she asked me...

I think of her – all day all night, Makes me feel ecstatic – her very sight. So blissful and beautiful, her smile, The very thought makes me helpless – just can’t stop loving her. Madly in love with her I am, Forever I will let the feeling last. How much I love her – I don’t know!? But, I know I don’t want to let her go. Does she love me – I ponder…….. She leaves me clueless all the time – why, I wonder… Every time I want to tell her – something stops me… Even though I know it is meant to be. I just want to know everything will be fine, ‘Cos for all I know – she has to be mine For now, Forever.....

For you and only you, My thoughts will crave, ‘Cos this whole thing is new, I’ve never been apart, I never have. All the times together, that we had fun, All the thoughts we shared, All those things said and done, The very thought of being apart from you, made me scared. All the fun talks over phone…… The very feeling you were there for me…… I just knew you were mine and my own……. Never alone, could I let you be….. All the hanging out together….. All the times of silly anger and little fights …… Life could never get better……. Even though we had our share of wrongs and rights….. All those little trouble that you helped me get through, At least, little it was made by your presence, Every single moment, the relationship just grew…. And without you in my life I wouldn’t have tasted its real essence. I thought we would be together forever, come what may, Life had different things in store for us….. How was I to know, just was happy with you all night all day, And lo! One day you tell me you...

There’s something about her……. There’s something about her – that makes my thought flow….. Is it that cherubic face or its brilliant glow?? There’s something about her – that keeps me floating for a while….. Is it that inherent charm or is it her beautiful smile?? There’s something about her-that makes me feel like I’m dreaming………… Is it the heavenly beauty or her eyes that are gleaming?? There’s something about her- that makes me go crazy……… Is it her angelic look or her hair so mazy?? There’s something about her-that makes me feel she is mine…….. Is it just her august presence or her demeanor so fine?? There’s something about her-that keeps me far from despair …… Is it because she sets things right or just her love and her care?? There’s something about her- that makes me feel her absence…… Is it because she’s far or is it because she’s my life’s essence?? There’s something about her-that now makes me feel like I want to weep…… Is it because she’s...

Vinay was now forlorn and dejected for he had to let his first love Mandira go. He and Mandira were together for the last 6 years. They had been with each other in times of thick and thin. They thought nothing could do them apart until one day; Vinay’s parents gave him the ultimatum. They told him they couldn’t be together anymore. Vinay’s heart broke even though Mandira left his life, literally walked out on him, without a thought. All that he knew was, she left him high and dry and he had not a single clue as to where she was now. It was probably set up by Vinay’s parents, he did not know that either. He was helpless. Vinay did not look for her because he knew for sure that she walked out on him without a second thought. He was looking ahead at very boring and desolated days of his life. Till then Mandira had been with him every place he went, not anymore though. Vinay sat by himself in office on a not so busy day and thought to himself. He had accepted this situation that ...

Arya was getting ready for office at a lazy pace on a gloomy Monday morning. His life had become way too monotonous for him to expect something new this week. Arya worked as a S/w engineer in a MNC for a client named Trust Financial and had a very successful but dull life. It was at least 2 years since he had been to an actual party, apart from the usually boring and artificially sophisticated project parties. He was lonely most of the time, not by choice though; he somehow always managed to get himself stuck to work. As though in a trance he was thinking of all the good times he had had as a college student and during the unforgettably enjoyable training days.He thought of all the coffee shops he had been to and the different people he had been with. He sighed loudly just as his cell phone brought him out of the trance. Arya's friend Srivats was on the line. "It's getting late, today the clients are coming, what's taking you so long?", asked Srivats in...
