CHAMPA
Nalini
Are the sunburns still there,
The one’s red and warm?
Do metrosexuals still outnumber,
The dusty swarm?
Do agents still sell names alike,
Everyone waiting for the rise of the Reich?
Natty
Are you awake or still dreaming,
Of featherless birds still screaming?
Are you black or still white,
Still afraid of heights or silvery eyed?
Are you silent or still loud,
Like the light tearing the cloud?
Are you alive or still dead,
Out in the dark or still in bed?
Natty
At the flick of a medium length night-bulb,
Overcome all your fears.
Sitting in the shade of hurricane,
You would see all are near.
Fasten up your seatbelts,
Gear up for the juju ride.
Whoever sits beside you, never worry
Will be your guide.
All your life’s questions
Will end up in surprise
So don’t be dumb, not so glum.
In the end we all want freedom.
Pranjal
Everybody is leaving,
every night and day.
Everybody’s leaving
And I wish they could stay.
Unfaltered dreams some have
Some have a few li’l debts to pay.
Some are original enough to accept the fears,
Some just break the ashtrays of clay.
And I just wish that you could stay.
But it has been a long day
And I know that you are lost and tired
Not knowing what to do again.
Everybody is leaving,
every night and day.
Everybody’s leaving
And I wish they could stay.
Rishit
I could have poured....
Boiling lava down your throat!
Gunjan
Will you be home tonight?
Or is that a question too stupid to ask?
I am tired of seeing you, boy.
Without any mask.
It’s hard to be alone.
When the boys are all gone now.
But see...don’t let life become a habit, anyhow.
I know you love to knock down slow.
So let your time come and blow.
Every dark spot on your body beginning to glow.
High point-medium point- low
Let the fuckin’ trip flow.
Through our blood-spent veins
On a frictionless-train.
There ain’t any words without any pain.
So be a bit less predictable.
Take out your alibis sometime.
Like dress up for your funeral.
‘Coz you never gonna do shit
When you are past your prime.
Will you be high tonight?
Or is that a question too stupid to ask?
I am bored brother, and
I need to see some of your masks.
