Mirage

Life ~ Mirage
~ A wasted illusion right from the start.
~ Hopeless romanticism of a hopeful heart.

Though the former is reality, I choose to live by the latter.

Just for fun!



~Poem #1 - Wrote it for a lecture on Machine Translation that I had to take a few weeks back. Just to add some life to the otherwise boring lecture (I did also try including a lot of PJs in there though... Ya! Madness alright! :D )


Syntax, Semantics
Discourse, Pragmatics
Alignment, Multi-Words, Punctuation

Sarcasm, Intention
Poetry, Convention
Phrase Sense, Word Sense Disambiguation

Language Divergence,
Its core essence,
Are all a nuisance for Machine Translation

No matter which you try unriddling
You would still be lagging

If you forget or underrate
The Power of POS Tagging!

A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That


A few silly poems
Some shabby sketches
Those random poor jokes
That no one catches

Unprepared speeches
No hesitations
Stealthily reading novels
In exam preparations

Goofy dances
hard to stop
Zumba and tumba
and weird hip-hop

Croaking out songs
Like crazy loons
Grave guitar banging
more noise than pleasant tunes

The game of basket ball
where a tooth was lost
Those races, disgraces
sprains that caused

Sitting alone in evenings,
With deep profound thoughts
Funny fictitious philosophies
Beyond the grasp of clots

Hobbies, recreations
Had all the fun
Been there done that
All said and done,

"Jack of all trades, 
master of none
is certainly better off 
than a master of one"

Athirst for Warmth



In stifling air
as it gasped
for breath
it saw it was just
benumbed from pain
not yet dead

And so it lay there
once again
Emotions dried
the darkness filled the
Void inside
Its thirst got quenched
From the tears it cried

But its hunger
Lingered on
For the light that crept in
At the break of dawn
And healed its
Bleeding flesh and bruise
Its wounds were tender
Painful, sore
It yearned for the light
Often, more

This restless yearning
Too long a wait
More anguish of mind
Than of physical state

Thats when its
Anger and fury peaked
Encaged, enraged
Vengeance it wreaked
overpowering
the numbing fear
It broke away
From the dungeon drear

Beating, defeating
The guilt, disdain
The mighty dragon
Rose again

In wrath, it exhaled
the fiery fire
intense, ablaze
with passion, with desire
its eyes
penetrating, sharp and still
stirring fright
a mere look could kill
its muscles burnt with
venomous hate
wings flapped wildly
toughened by the long wait

with mad ambition
dominance, decision
unparalleled strength
and fierce precision
a strong will
and stronger might
it readied itself for
The Last Fight
