Meet me at the dawn To escape the silence, the wrong Teach me how to nurse So that we can both reverse On the ground, I felt the cold Not my feet, it was me being bold A forgotten glimpse of what happened Did I do something wrong or did I break the patte…

Having gone through a recent period of job search and a sequence of interviews, I thought I’d pen down what I think of the different styles of tech interviews and why I think this whole process needs a complete relook.

Am I too weak to walk Or stone deaf to all the talk Trudging along towards infinity Scarlet rays light up our eternity To walk amongst the grieved You felt... you were alive The day was towards an end An end...to a great ire The wounds are beneath us The

Let’s start with a hypothetical situation - You are craving ice-cream and it’s midnight.

A day, an ending To seemingly go quiet The heart dwells in silence To ache upon the miles That we walked together Turn on the lights We maybe out here tonight To mean, to rhyme Maybe its you, maybe its me How we pretend, its a dream..

How wild... this all...

Repeat, repeat, the empty release The tangled voices that want to be free Repeat, repeat, what stems in me The higher meaning of what we could be Depart, descend, see the pretense Decay, destroy, the threads of false joy The construct, the being, of wh…

To the hue of a vibrant roar To a distant desire left untold Hidden many are the many paths Where meaning finds its past I've fallen in love again To the sea of empty skies To the leaves that yearn the light 'Cause you're a dream...

Tonight I walk away From what.. you might ask..

Caught in the waves of time Just another start...

In the wildest dreams The distance isn't gone In my firey being The truth doesn't come out And so I lie to myself That what is after Is better than now Is there a day That makes this go away Of what I am afraid To cross the line To explore whats mine I

And I saw somebody else In our design For all it means And I felt more than just In our hearts For all it seems Color me to an endless night Until truth comes over Sever broken ties Until the leaves blow over Thoughts and mind and all thats us Different

Even though I try And tried, I must have Even though I lied And it hurt, it must have Towards a dream Towards a try Towards a hope Towards a lie Towards a self Towards a meaning Towards a sound Untoward my own Even though I cry And cried, I must have D…

In our heart, in our minds In our thoughts, intertwine In our lies, in our hate In our conscience, in our fate Discharge the wounds that feed Come around to make me feel The Hyde once said that hurt was near Truth be told I couldn't hear There's a why, to…

All the cobwebs are lying at the scene Circling to a higher conscious, scream Watering them down and down it must be To a low, to the light To the fore, to the fight Don't ask the weight to fall Don't mind the mob, the call Here in the lights of certainty

Hero, want me...

Hope is, what is an unknown Hope is, falling down the throne And freedom... is all I ask Trouble... is all that lasts In your heart In our minds In our secret Thoughts intertwine Colors are Color off In it's reason To find the cause Until it's you..who…

Decide over me How far we have got to go Listen to the world How much we've got to know And time without a season And why without a reason They came in all the forms To wake us To know whats wrong Faster, arrive To calm the race of fire Decide, old enou…

Together we are afraid Of what has it come down to A silence, a lonely place The fear of a sound that begins to erase The kindness of an open heart...

Tell me the wise ways I could be wrong Stare into night space Follow me down Glimmering on the horizon A thousand lights Smoke in the air The roar of a flight Towards a dream Towards a try Is it more than me And you and I Awake are we now Too late are…

To cry in vain or do I smile in pain Words do not say the thought Thoughts do not speak out loud Too few are the interactions The trouble of unmet expectations Or the myriad reactions Sudden spike of troubled minds Abstract trails of past finds Little…

Fade into to you...

A dream, a sound A wait for all we could be Turning in rounds To an endless serenity Fading, descending Parallels drawn apart Too few are the lights Too soon are the nights Dawning desires and the fear of fall End of the line The morning walk

Trouble finds me in varied phase Not knowing the time or the place The two ways to a higher conscience Deeper and farther, towards an unending defiance Steps too far, towards a broken desire Ending in places that soon expire Truth deceives the meaning…

We walk around Enough to hide the pain In truth we abound For the meaning of same The telling way to our desires Fewer mutating thoughts that rise to aspire Into a fiction that is yet to be born A dream to understand the gone What begins now is a new…

Would you last if I didn't stay To realize whats beyond the farthest lights Sparkling in the dying moments The breeze warm enough to dry the sand Embracing the souls that pass by In a wall of noise and a thousand dreams To the un-relished anger that ca…

The moment went still As seconds crowded the gaps Where every thought became a gamble To an analyzing mind Never liked this game Of laying bare but to no avail Where the past doesn't count for much And the future is the prize Turn by turn, the cloud thi…

Down with the sunrise The music, it fades away Drowning in the busy lights Am I alone in this fray Every step, a bit too far Every thought, a bit too sour Nearer to the horizon Than the shadow would say Too far, too long Am I about to break As I watch…

Grains of noise reflecting from the walls You can hear them from afar Tunneling through the ambiance Stuttering to mask the voices...

Still on a one off Caught in a storm And I played it still Feel all alone I try to fall off The cold divide My faith is torn Between the lines And we break out To listen in And we can spread out To hear the spin Don't you know I am still the same Talk w…

Slow dance under the fading light Delicate balance of our imaginary flight Seeping through the corners are the whispers That echo a thousand memories Some that pull the moment towards infinity And some that make it still To forget the now would be a cr…
