The Lonely Santa

Once up on a time, there lived a guy named Banta,
People called him "The Lonely Santa";
He was truly a golden hearted guy,
But no one knew him, he was too shy;
On every christmas, just before the actual day,
He used to gift the local poor children, at every take away,
Wearing a red santa claus dressing gown,
He used to make other's happy, without ever any frown,
Once up on a time, there lived a guy named Banta,
People called him "The Lonely Santa";


One day the poor children decided to gift him,
They started begging from everyone around, but all expressions were grim.
However, they were firm in what they had to do,
Banta however, was unknown to it; he had no clue,
They gathered money from their savings, their parents and every traveller on the street,
They had decided to do it, they had decided to give Banta the best treat,
They finally collected money, enough to buy him a new gown,
They thought it would be really wonderful for him, even better than a king's crown,


And then came christmas again, on the 25th Day,
The decided to present him the gown, they followed a rhythmic sway,
They entered his house, all excited but quiet,
They had decided to Surprise Banta and then run out of sight,
They saw Banta lying silently on his bed,
He was too silent and life less, their faces went red,
They realized they were too late and they could not surprise him with a gift,
Instead, this christmas, they were sad, as their santa had moved away, with a swift,
They covered him with the newly bought red new gown,
They couldn't surprise him with a gift, worth better than a king's crown,
Sadly, they departed, they ran out of sight,
They were all sad deep down, emotions mixed with sorrow and fright,


Banta lay life less, covered with a gown,
Some even said "It's good that he passed away. He was a clown".
But no one remembered him, how kind he was, as time went away fast,
He was gone, and he became a part of not-worth remaining tragic past,
Once up on a time, there lived a guy named Banta,
People called him "The Lonely Santa".

Watch me go

When you feel me going too hard upon you,
When you feel that nothing is working true,
When you feel like rejecting me, You really feel like doing so,
Don't panic, just sit back and watch me go!!


When you go numb, when you start to ignore,
When you expect too much from me, even if that has happened before,
When you feel pity on my state of mind,
Believe me, I would go far way, far away too find,
When you stop talking to me, thinking that it would sadden me more,
I really stop giving a damn to it, I have many other important things in store,
When you feel like rejecting me, You really feel like doing so,
Don't panic, just sit back and watch me go!!



When all my desires and wishes fade away,
When it becomes too hard for me to stay,
When everything changes with sands of time,
When you behave like I have committed some heinous crime,
When you feel that this would frustrate me more,
I guess I have already said that I have many other important things in store,
When you feel like rejecting me, You really feel like doing so,
Don't panic, just sit back and watch me go!!



When I see back to past, to what I have lost,
I see my life has rotten, my life being invaded by a third party host,
I wish to relive it once again, to rectify my wrong deeds,
I wish to be not careless this time, I wish to bow the correct seeds,
I really don't care about you any more, I care about only me,
Coz I had seen a lot, I know a lot was still there to see,
When you feel like rejecting me, You really feel like doing so,
Don't panic, just sit back and watch me go!!

The Sacred Soul

Deep inside, deep inside where the blood flows through veins and hole,
I find myself changing, I find the sacred soul!!!
The heart inside me says remove your fears,
It says question and challenge them, move away your tears,
I find my spine go straight, I find my fears vanish,
I find myself challenging challenges, I find my ego perish;
I see myself rising, I see myself run through the flow,
I see myself moving ahead, I see myself glow,
Deep inside, deep inside where the blood flows through veins and hole,
I find myself changing, I find the sacred soul!!!


Up above the vision store, deep inside the brain,
Something tells me to control anger, to ride on the patience train,
I feel my anger move out,I feel myself go light,
I feel me keeping silent, in spite of a gruesome fight,
I go numb inside, deep inside, I go deaf, I go mute,
I hear someone at a long distance, playing a distant but mesmerizing flute,
I see myself rising, I see myself run through the flow,
I see myself moving ahead, I see myself glow,
Deep inside, deep inside where the blood flows through veins and hole,
I find myself changing, I find the sacred soul!!!

Film Review - Limitless

Drugs, chicks, sexual encounters and visual hallucinations forms the core of this movie. A drug based, rock n roll movie of 2011, is special in a way, that it spreads the message of drug avoidance, showcasing the side effects of drug consumption and drug overdose. Keeping the image of Bradley Cooper in mind, the movie has all types of visual pleasures, glamorous and exotic locations and hot chicks.

One point to be mentioned specially, is that this movie is a science fiction movie, based on the novel "The Dark Fields" by Alan Glynn, which gives a thrilling experience through a series of real and hallucinating events.


Plot: The film's plot is based on the life of a writer, who has run out of money and work. His life has taken a very bad turn, and he can foresee no future upcoming. In such series of events, he comes across a drug named NZT, that enables him to access 100% of his brain, giving him superhuman abilities,

The storyline follows a reverse chronological order, in which at first, the lead character is shown to go on a suicide attempt. The story then shifts back to time, when the lead character was a struggler. He somehow comes across a drug pill, that enhances his abilities, transforming him from a local writer to financial tycoon. However, the side effects of drug lead to hallucinations, unexplainable events and also leads to new threats and danger, that follows. The storyline follows a thrilling way and keeps audience glued for more.


Music: Being a rock n roll movie, this movie certainly stands out on Music. Although not having any special song, the continuous drum beats and wordings makes the movie more thrilling and appealing.


Acting: Bradley Cooper plays his playboy best in the movie. His appeal definitely works in favour of audience. His performance as a intellectually gifted individual, who gains the power to resolve and repair everything as well as a playboy, is too damn good.

Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro, do fair justice to their roles. But, Bradley steals the limelight.


Direction: This movie has been directed by Neil Burger. It has all the elements of a Bradley Cooper movie, with sex, drug, parties, alcohol as well as hot chicks. the thriller part of the movie has also been directed well and the visual hallucinations add value to it.

Overall, I rate the movie 7.5/10.

Film Review - 127 hours

I had quit writing film reviews long back, but suddenly, this movie forced me to come back to writing film reviews. This review might not be as good and structured as the ones, I had written previously and I feel I am not that great enough, to write an expert review about this epic biographical survival film, but still, I would prefer taking my chance.

Plot: This film is based on a specific life event of "Aron Ralston", the famous canyoneer and engineer, who had met with an accident on one of his such adventurous trips, where in he had to amputate his right fore arm, in order to survive. This film greatly depicts the series of visualizations, emotional hallucinations and thoughts that peeks in your minds during life threatening tragedies, and how it sometimes, even comes in front of your eyes, disturbing the sheer gap between imagination and reality. People tend to grab it as real, forgetting their current condition for a short span of time.


Storyline: The story line based on the real life incident of "Aron Ralston", about how he came to the accident place "Blue John Canyon" and how the accident led him loose his right hand. The film screenplay is fantastic and the emotional moments, strained family relations, that have been shown through flashbacks of the lead character are mind blowing. The entire story about the origin of the lead character as well as his family and on - off relations has been revealed through flashbacks. The story line follows an asymmetrical yet well bound pattern, that is perhaps the best pattern to be utilized for this film.


Music: Strange but true, the soundtrack of this movie is composed by A R Rahman. Aron's favourite band "Phish", has also a short song present in the film.  Although, I am not a expert in music rating, but taking chance, I would say the music in this movie is good and the song "If I rise", truly has words describing the situation of the lead character, when he is stuck in deep trouble.


Acting: James Franco in the role of 'Aron Ralston", is the best suit to the role. No one could have done it better than him. The genuineness of his expressions, when he is remembering the past, his break up, as well as when he is cutting is own hand, is brilliant.  From a  carefree lad, to a helpless man, to a matured man who understands values, to a free bird, is the transformation series of characters, shown in the movie and has been depicted by James, at a super awesome level.


Direction: Danny Boyle, has really done a great job in direction. The flashback theory as well as the depiction of visual appeals, to execute human desires, condolences and general necessities, is something, that really deserves accolades. The film has received three golden globe awards and was a worldwide hit, which I think, it deserved.


Overall, I would rate the movie 9.5/10. 

Lily - A romantic encounter

So, Suddenly one day, at a restaurant take away,
A girl caught my attention, mesmerizing, her hair coloured in grey;
She sat inside, lonely, at a far away eating table,
I couldn't hold myself on, I was not at all stable..
The delivery boy passed me my order at the top of his voice,
I had to leave immediately, I had no choice.


I parked my car and entered in side,
I was shy to approach with an indecisive stride;
I sat up on a nearby table, I kept staring through a small tree,
As if she had already guessed my intent, she herself came to me;
She sat in front and gave a naughty glee,
She asked me,"So handsome, It seems you know me?"
I was shattered deep inside, I was broken apart,
I realized she is a call girl and became nervous, it was difficult for me to start;


She tingled up on my feet, she winked her eye,
I put my head down, I as too shy;
She held my hand and started telling about rate,
I wished I could immediately leave, Yeah, that would be really great!!
She moved me forcefully towards my car,
She naughtily said." Don't worry, you will have complete pleasure yaar!"
I was silent, nervous and stressed;
She said that she would make hot my bed!!
She sat in my car, and we drove away.
Only I know, how badly I wanted to stay!!!!


On the way, I asked her name, although I felt silly,
She said with a naughty stare that her name is Lily;
It is then, I asked her when she began?
She went quiet for a moment and her face began to tan;
She said that she was brought here as a kid,
She neither remembered her parents, nor anyone else did,
She was tortured innumerable times, she almost got killed,
She had then decided to join the profession, after being forcefully stilled,
I saw tears come out of her eye,
I forwarded my hankey, but she was hesitant, suddenly she became shy,


For the first time today, I was happy, I did something correct against my will,
I wanted to rescue her, I wanted to make the moment still,
We topped and had tea, besides a roadside stall,
I suddenly began to fall for her, I began to steadily fall!!
She told me I was a nice person, I am rare to find these days,
I said I am some one who doesn't fling, who always cares and stays,
She smiled with heaven, she came close to me and whispered in my ear,
She said she would be happy to have me, she kissed away my tear,


But, I knew, this love story had no future at all,
It was to end soon, soon as we leave the stall,
She cried and cried, and held my hand, she said me to be happy,
She said that the girl who gets me, would really be very lucky;
With a tearful goodbye, I watched her run away, I watched her depart and go,
Within seconds, lily was gone, leaving me with only my shadow;
I cried very heavily, I wished to stop the moment,
I decided to stop commenting on them, as I had run out of any comment,
With a heavy heart, I held the precious memories firm,
The girl indeed had a very beautiful charm!!!
I said her goodbye, I cried, I closed my eyes,
I sat into my car, I drove away, I drove away miles and miles!!!!

The girl with a yellow cap

The wind blew above me,
gusting across the long standing tree,
The leaves flew from here to there,
Moving up and down, along with the air;
A flying dupatta came hitting up on my face,
I saw something moving towards me, at a slow pace;
It is then that I saw at a long gap,
There stood she, The girl with a yellow cap.


She was too beautiful, standing will all her charm,
As if she had chanted magic up on me, I went forward meaning no harm;
She stood still, caressing her hair,
I couldn't stop myself, I continued to stare!!
She looked like an angel, down on earth,
I stared at her face,I stared at her girth;
She came to free me from sufferings, from pain,
I thought,I would gain her, I thought,I would gain!!


She came to me and asked for her dupatta back;
I realized it was with me and put it in her sack,
Her eyes were blue with a look, so surprising,
She looked so innocent, so mesmerizing;
I stood there still over the dusty ground,
I couldn't utter a word, I was spell bound,
A little time later, I heard someone shout out loud,
She instantly replied and started running towards the other side crowd,


I stood there still, I saw her sack,
Before I could say anything, she turned back;
She gave me a beautiful smile,
She then started running, she was so agile,
She ran fast towards the other side crowd,
Rain started pouring, thundering was loud,
She quickly vanished, while I was completely wet,
I picked up her sack, and went towards the main gate,
She was gone, I realised after a long time gap,
There she was gone, The girl with a yellow cap.
