I have just finished compiling all the poems & bringing down all the details of my new e-book to final. As per my plans & schedule, I have slated its release on 29th March, next year. I have been working on this book for quite sometime & it was all-consuming project.
I finalized the layout & colour scheme as per the word 2007 template available from Microsoft website. The rest of the images I have taken are assumed to be in the public domain.
I have already released the draft version to the editors (my friends & expert English editors). The book will initially be released under Creative Commons license & subsequently released commercially.
The book will contain all the poems which I have published online, shared on many forums like Inspiration Peak etc., as well as new and fresh poems written by me over the past 1 year. Plus I am writing a few motivational & inspirational articles also.
Yes, I am thinking about releasing the book in PDF format on this blog, as well as on document sharing & online publishing web sites like docstoc.com & scribd.com.
If you have any ideas, comments or suggestions please feel free to share with me at sandeep.chopra [at] live.com or drop in a comment to let me know that you are interested in the book.
Walking lonely March 15, 2007

It is quite long that I have posted on this blog… well the reason even I don’t know why? Maybe I am going to launch a new blog… 360 doesn’t give much flexibility and freedom. Anyway, this blog is not dead and it is still owned by me, and I promise to myself to keep it alive no matter what happens.
What about the poems? Well, I am not writing anymore. No ideas yet. But once I get out of this loneliness and creative trap I will surely write something beautiful. Now you may guess my next sentence, I am bore with the same routine. College, eat, sleep, college.
As for the news, I am going to buy a new pc, I already placed the order (by the time you read this I may have a new computer). And yes, Windows Vista come pre-loaded on it. The WOW experience. But I may not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my previous PC (even if the cave man you know has a better pc than mine)
Blogging will become a regular feature then, because I will do all my typing work on my personal pc. Right now, I am in Introspective mode… thinking about life, family, friends, new friends, friends lost, friends unknown and a lot like that…
Then I came over this thought by my favorite Indian blogger, that what ultimately matters in your life is how well you sleep at night. Think carefully about the person you going to marry in your life. On that note, I would like to sign off…
And we killed him… March 6, 2007

He was genius, among us, the fools;
He was smiling, among us, the frowns;
He was the courageous, among us, the cowards;
He was nice, among us, the corrupts;
He was hopeful, among us, the pessimistic;
He was bright, among us, the dull;
He was different, among all of us;
We didn’t like him at all;
At the midnight hour, when the light was dim,
We took him along with us, and only we killed him…
Friend Left Behind February 27, 2007

In lieu of those unraveled joys,
And beside that unjust pride;
I had something that I have lost;
‘A friend’ that I left behind.
He helped me a lot, whenever I was in need,
He was just, good and to me kind;
But I wasn’t careful about him,
Forsaking, I left him behind.
I promised to standby him,
And I often go back to the place,
where we used to meet
I remember, I said to him
“please wait I’ll be back in a time.”
He must be waiting for years,
To meet me, dearest of his dears.
From where, such a friend, I shall find;
He is not in my sight, but my soul,
Of which he was a part I left behind.
I feel guilt, ashamed and helpless,
Whenever this loss comes to my mind,
Tired by my own selfishness,
I am in search of my friend I left behind;
Now I am here in front of you all people,
I searched him in all spheres of my life,
And now as I walk towards the end;
Oh you people! Look upon me as a fool,
Who left behind his only beloved and only friend.

Before I die February 7, 2007

From almighty god,
Come all the things under the sun;
They have to return,
When their work is done;
Like those men, I am from god,
And I have to return;
Unfortunately, I too have to die,
I will too get burnt;
Before I return,
I have some dreams and aims,
Which I wish to apply,
Indeed, lot of work is to done;
Before I die;
When friends will listen about my death,
All around the globe;
Since, they have lost nice one,
They should sorrow and sob;
I want to convince those,
who are unjust to me;
A caged bird, struggling,
To set himself free;
One aim is to let that bird fly,
To break all chains and barriers
Before I end, before I die
To return all credits,
And to clear all accounts;
And to confess all mistake in my mind;
Cause everyday given to me counts.
To prove my worth,
And to tell I am really nice;
All those things have to be done,
Before the flower dies;
Imagining the world without,
Tears flow, eyes have become so dry;
Let me confess, I want to live forever,
Before I end, before I die;

Little ships… February 5, 2007

Art - Little Ship on Dry Land
Abandoned in the middle of the sea,
so lonely, far across the beach I see;
Strong winds take it one way,
turn down other with tides foray;
falling from the sour eye, like dry tear;
Far away, a small ship is going nowhere; Written by me…
Restless & Settled emotions… February 4, 2007

As aspirations fall down,
Like dew on green grass;
Few things I remember from past,
Few famous smiles and frowns
Encouraging comments and disheartening taunts.
As I recollect,
The scene ought to be the best,
Me smiling, running, jumping,
To reach for the crest;
Oh ye spot the difference now,
Same me, same scene;
But still difference in me
How poor I can be, you may guess;
Laying down in my bed,
And thinking how I can win,
While doing the rest.
- Written by me
ok we all have this habit, when we go to bed and before sleep we think about some thing, person, idea, place, emotions, feelings a lots of unmentionable things. I think about my failures. I think about my rejections. I think about my plans which have miserably failed… I remember few inspirational songs… I remember few nice comments… some taunts… I recall how enthusiastic I was… I listen voices… “Sandeep bhaiya, when I grow up I want to be like you, head boy“- (of my 6-7 year old friend), ” Sandeep you are intelligent, but be quiet in the class” -(of my computer teacher), “I know your calibre, that’s why I give you opportunities”- (my english teacher), “You are such a prominent person that you are being watched” – (my school principal), “You will suceed, ofcourse” (my coaching sir)
I find ways so I can escape all these, I think about my future plans. Then about a sweet and the most lovable person of my life… and then I fall asleep to sweet dreams…
Walking alone January 22, 2007

There is nothing I compare with it,
It is best to me, I ever did;
Simple, simple, no great fun,
there is a joy in walking alone;
Argue with yourself,
you decide, you win or lose;
sit down, sit down, relax
when you’re done;
There is a victory in walking alone;

Lost Wisdom January 10, 2007

Love is great,
like moon in haze,
law of gravition,
cannot explain,
how one fall in this game.
What foolishness,
does destiny plays,
how much fool one can become,
when all the wisdom taken,
away to make one wise decision,
oh you see the trial of love,
to make up for one broken heart,
a million of hearts has to be broken.

As beautiful as it can be…. January 6, 2007

(picture courtsey my sis, dolly, a view in Canada)
Beauty as simple as it can be,
I have seen the life,
through someone’s eyes,
As beautiful as it can be.
Life in the lonely mornings,
Life in the joy of being alone,
Life in the faith,
Of re-assuring friendships.
I have seen them all,
as good as they all can be.
One dark night,
The dreadful hands,
clutching my bloody throats,
Through one foolish mistake,
I have seen the death an eye to eye,
as dreadful as it can be
