On the 13th of March every year, we will feel the pain of loss, of our dear friend, son, brother and much more to many of us. Our Adam Makhija....
A beautifull person both inside and out, he was selfless in many ways and yet selfishly showed it... He seldom complained, he lived life to the fullest...in his words..
"Life is short Trisha, just chill"
Truely life is short...
This poem is dedicated to Adam, written for him on the 12th of march 2008 and this is what i really wanted to say after a whole year of not being able to say anything of the pain i was feeling.
HE IS DEAD
Stop all the clocks
Cut off the telephone
Prevent the dogs from barking
For their jiucy bone
Silence the pianos
And with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin
Let the mourners come
Let airplanes circle o'er head
Scribbling on the skies
The message
HE IS DEAD
The distant cries and
Broken wings of angel doves
Let traffic policemen
Wear black cotton gloves
He was my north my south
My east my west
My working week
My sunday rest
My noon my midnight
My talk my song
I thought it would last forever
I was wrong
The stars are not wanted now
Go tell everyone
Pack up the moon and
Dismantle the sun
Pour away the ocean
And sweep up the wood
For nothing there
Can come to any good
Adam we love you.... you will always be with us...

The Sleeping Beauty
Have you ever heard about the mosquito in The Sleeping Beauty? No! Of course you haven’t, I wasn’t mentioned not once! Never! I was never mentioned, and hell I was the protagonist!
I remember it like it was yesterday, I was young, bursting with energy, always on the lookout for some adventure.
This one particular day I was hovering around a forest and I happened to come across a huge palace. I thought it would be a great dug-out for me so I flew in to see what the place was like.
I entered and there by the fireplace! I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was true, the rumours were true, and there really was a dragon! My heart skipped a beat! I realized I was in the palace that the sleeping princess was in.
My curiosity got the better of me, so without disturbing the sleeping giant I made my way to the top of the palace, mid way I almost gave up! There were too many stairs, not that I had to climb but hey I’m just a tiny thing my wings can only do so much.
Finally after a good fifteen minutes I reached the top, there was no door so I flew straight in, and found myself in a bedroom. And there she was! This divine beauty, sleeping like an innocent child, nothing seemed to disturb her. So I went to her side and for the first time in my life of looking for adventure, for purpose, I had found it. I felt pity for her, she was wiling away her youth, the prime of her life! I decided that I would find her some one, some one who would wake her from her slumber and keep her happy ever after!
So I set out. I flew over the palace gardens, through weeds and thorns. I flew and flew until I reached the outskirt of the palace. I was so tired, almost ready to collapse and suddenly I saw some movement a mile away from me.
What luck! I could see a young man! He was on horse back, I flew closer to him and I was ecstatic to see that he was no ordinary lad. He was the prince of Hampshire.
He seemed to be looking for something, direction I believe, maybe he was in pursuit of the sleeping beauty, I thought to myself.
So I flew right up to him and began buzzing in his ear. And believe it or not! The man tries to swat me! I couldn’t understand why he’d want to hurt me, after all I was helping him, trying to show him the way to the palace. He tried it again, once, twice now I was really angry, so I bit him. And that enraged him some more, he began chasing after me; I saw this as an opportunity and flew in the direction of the castle.
Once I reached the palace wall, I noticed that the Prince had stopped a few yards behind me. He looked up and around and spoke to his horse, asking him something about how to get in.
I couldn’t believe he was this dim! All he had to do was go through the thorny shrubs to get to the other side!
I figured he needed me all the way to the top. So I began buzzing around him some more and he took the bait and followed me, and kept following me till I reached the palace entrance.
But there just as the Prince entered, his horse let out a loud neigh and woke the dragon up!
I could tell from his face that he wasn’t expecting a dragon there, and obviously he wasn’t prepared to fight it!
He had no chance! A forty foot tall huge dragon, he’d go down like that!
This was not going to be easy, the silly lad was running around, his horse had abandoned him, yes abandoned, he didn’t let the horse go, it’s not like how you read it earlier.
He was alone, his only companion was I and he didn’t even know it! He pulled out his sword and lashed it at the dragon to no effect. The dragon took one deep breath, and I knew he was going to let out fire, I had to act quickly, so I flew around the dragon, found a tender spot in the back and bit him as hard as I could. It worked! The dragon choked on his breath of fire, he immediately turned to see who had got his backside, and the prince took his chance and stabbed the dragon straight in the chest.
Relief flowed through me, as the dragon fell hard and heavy to the floor.
I saw the prince wipe a trickle of sweat from his forehead.
He took a moment to calm himself, and I parked myself on a pillar, I was watching him closely, he seemed alright, not a scratch, lucky, he was a pretty handsome fellow. Not half as bright though.
I saw him walk toward the stair case; finally he figured something out for himself! He began his ascent. Slowly and painfully I followed him, till he reached the top.
He entered the room apprehensively, looked around till he saw the princess fast asleep, he walked up to her, looked at her for a moment or two. I could tell that he was struck by her beauty. He touched her hair lightly, bent down and kissed her softly. He lifted his head, knelt down next to her waiting for her to wake. But she didn’t wake up, the prince looked as confused as I felt.
He kissed her again but to no avail. This was strange and frustrating. I had done everything, found her a prince, brought him to her, helped him kill the dragon and now when he finally kisses her she doesn’t stir!
I couldn’t take it any more! I went straight to her neck and bit her with all the frustration that had built up inside me.
She woke! I was taken aback for a second or two! She woke to my bite!
I moved away from her neck and sat on the bed, beside her.
She opened her eyes to see the prince standing in front of her. She then scratched her neck at the spot she’d been bitten.
“You saved me, oh! Thank you, thank you”, she told him. I couldn’t believe it! She didn’t take notice of me!
That was it! I wasn’t going to let all the credit go to this dimwit prince.
I began buzzing around her head, she sought me, and for a second
she looked at me, straight at me! I was going to get some attention after all that work, I thought.
Splat!
I felt excruciating pain all over my body, she had hit me! No not hit, she had tried to kill me! That lousy ungrateful woman! Beauty they called her, huh?? What had happened to inner beauty! The insane woman was trying to kill me. She’d got me once, she saw that I was still alive and moving a little and came down for a second blow! With all the little energy I had left, I pulled myself together and quickly got out of the way and flew slowly to the foot of the bed.
I watched them leave bitterly, hand in hand new lovers and I was left with no one and nothing!
Sleeping beauty’s story became famous and I? I went unnoticed!
I still live here, in the same room that sleeping beauty once slept. I live here alone, unnoticed. Merely another mosquito to the world.
But little do they know The Sleeping Beauty would never have been the tale it is weren’t it for me.

SOMEONE
Some one i can talk to
Some one i can trust
Some one who will be there
When my relationships rust
Some one who will save me
When everything goes wrong
Someone who will comfort me
And help me be strong
Some one who listens
Any time of day
Someone who will brighten
Any sky thats grey
Some one who will always
Want to be my friend
Some one who will fight for me
Untill the bitter end
Someone who will cry with me
When i'm sad
Some one who will laugh with me
Whenever i'm glad
Some one who will understand
My every weird emotion
Some one who will always be
At my side, strong devotion
Someone who will always think of me
Before themselves
Some one who will care for me
And put their worries on the shelf
Someone who will let me act
Like the true me
Some one who will always be
Themselves around me
Some one who will remain
Incredibly beautiful and true
Someone who is my best friend
That some one is YOU.
Some one i can trust

Incredibly beautiful and true
Someone who is my best friend
That some one is YOU.

Watever
In the beginning,it was simple.There was Adam and there was Eve. One woman for one man. Their one goal: increasing the population of our kind.
That was it, just their one goal for gettin together.
No complications, no love issues or possesiveness, no jealousy, no nagging, no ex-partners, no concept of having more than one partner, nothing! Just plain simple one on one, man to woman relationship! Lucky shits!
Cut to well...now, there is such a huge sea to fish in! Our one main goals is to find love, we get so lost when it comes to love, most of us are too scared or too open. We run away when some one wants to hold onto us bcoz they love us and dunt want to lose us, yeh right! gimme the first exit, he/she is crazy possesive!
Then there is the other kind "he loves me (sigh) he loves me not, okay lets sleep with him/her and find out?".....in todays times the later is usually the case. Remind me again, why are we all looking for love?
anyway...
quite conctrary to those times, there are barely any one to one relationships today, its a much more complex system now. We date and discard, we have flings and "things" and make human errors all the time blaming it on the pther person. I mean literally, HUMAN errors.
Are u surprised at the population?
Its trial and error all our freaking lives!
Why cudnt we have been sent to earth in pairs! (No, I didnt watch Hancock.) It wud save the trouble of looking for this so called love. And maybe this dam world wud have place for the next generation!
If we didnt have a choice and got stuk with the one fuk we were sent to earth with, would we have cheated on them for a better fucker? Literally.
Would we still have been on a trial and error process, wud we still look for love knowing we didnt have a choice? Are we that lonely?
Are we that insane a species that we cannot be content?
OH, who knows!!!!
Maybe I'm just talking about myself or maybe I'm in a really bad mood!
WATEVER!!!!!

MY TIME WILL BE GONE
YOU WATCH THROUGH THOSE LONELY EYES
YOU WATCH HOW FAST YOUR WORLD GOES BY
NOT A SOUL, NOT FOR YOU
AS I DID YOU WILL STAND ALONE TO
I WATCH HOW FAST THIS WORLD GOES BY

I WATCH THROUGH THESE LONELY EYES
I WATCH HOW FAST THIS WORLD GOES BY
ITS STRANGE HOW I ADAPT
ITS STRANGE HOW I MOVE ON
BEFORE I KNOW IT
MY TIME WILL BE GONE
YOU WATCH THROUGH THOSE LONELY EYES
