When we confuse our feelings with the truth………….

You see someone giving you the glad eye
making you blush and flush your red cheeks
Only to realize that it was not you
But a dazzling spiffy chick, who wooed the guy.


You see Beyonce and Shakira groove
So immaculately, aesthetically, sensually.
Again only to realize that , even by moving
Heaven and earth , that’s something you can’t do.


You’re travelling and can’t help but drool over a Lamborghini
So black, Chic , elegant , dashing, glistening
Only to realize its about time that
You fished your purse to pay the driver, the taxi money.


You look all goggle-eyed at the collections Gucchi and Louis Vuitton
–Some of them dangerous enticing yet so deplorably elusive-
Only to realize that it’s high time you switched from f tv
To Bloomberg for you have a business studies project to work on.


You could be lost in thoughts about a somebody,
Very special and awe-inspiring
Only to realize that the somebody knows you exist
But still only as a virtual ‘nobody’

You fantasize the prospect of you being the next American Idol
Getting to sign a trillion contracts , autograph books and paychecks
Again only to realize that when you open your mouth to sing,
People can’t help but find it lethal and fatal.


You wonder if by chance you could become an “Ambhani”
Stinking rich, helplessly famous and tiresomely successful
Only to realize that you can very well be in other’s shoes,
But it’s just that you can’t have their money.


You wish you could get into Cornell, Stanford or Harvard
The ivy-league universities that boast of unparalleled excellence
Only to realize that you can obviously enter them
But only as a university security guard.

You wish you could date Orlando Bloom
At whose sight you could effortlessly melt away,
Only to realize that the Hollywood hottie already
Has a shorty who is all va-va-voom.


Oh yes indeed how easily we accept this imposing thing
that’s called ‘R-E-A-L-I-T-Y’ .
So that we don’t confuse our feelings with the truth
And just work on what life has to offer and bring.

Let’s just not build castles in the air
Dreaming about someone you wish you were
Instead, do something about your present life
Or else sadly you’ll end up in a pit and nowhere.
