Ek aadmi apni kulhaadi liye

roz usi raaste jangal ki ore jaata
hai 

rehguzar hote hain raaste ki mitti aur
kuch anjaane patthar

kal raat ki narm baarish se, chaand
tapak gaya tha boondo me

geela hai abhi tak sara jangal
chaandani se

uske pairo ki chhaap mitti pe chhoot
jaa rahi hain 

anjaane patthar uske saath koodate
phaandate 

pehchaan bana rahe hain 

lakadiyaan magar seeli hain 

uske choolhe jo saans bharengi, 

kadave dhuyein ko sarka kar

wo jaanta hai ki rozmarre ki
tarah 

jab wo sooraj kaat kar laayega

shab tab hi aayegi uske ghar me

aur jab geeli raat aayegi

toh use chaand chadhana hai seene
par 

aasmaan se utaar kar 

mehsoos karna hai ki is raat ka raja wo
hi hai

kal subhe jab suraj kaatne ka manzar
laut aayega

usi mitti se wo apne kadmo ke nishaan
chunane wapis jaayega

aur anjaane pattharo se ek din dosti ho
jaayegi

jo rehguzar rahe the kabhi, kuch der ke humsafar ban
jaayenge

2.00 PM, IIT Guwahati, Chemistry Lab.

Yeah, the place where you get to know about how ammonia smells like and what affect it has on your digestive system if inhaled even unintentionally. The place where casual affairs are not like the ones shown in Yash Raj movies, but more of secluded glances through the test tube! That's how realistic love stories are! Wow ..an affair through the test tube! Indeed anything is more romantic than that! Now come on, what more do you expect from a geeky place like that? May be you can talk about the love blossoms the way neural network functions your neurons are trained to the butterfly effect in your stomach when you see the gal you have fallen head over heels for . Now don't get any ideas here, neither I was in love nor I had a crush coz according to me IITs are not apt places to find your crushes!

While working on the chemical kinetics experiment in the lab, I was supposed to use numerous apparatuses. One of them being the iodine chamber. It is like a cylindrical glass jar covered with a watch glass. I had to use it to test the rate of kinetics and the process involved immediately transferring the contents into the jar. I did the experiment with all the devotion and the moment I pulled the jar towards me I saw it!!! Yes, I saw that when I pulled the jar towards me, the watch glass remained in the air for a fraction of second and the only thing I remember is I heard the glass breaking. I didn't see it because of the reflex action my eyes automatically closed I am sure Gandhi ji derived this "bura mat dekho" thing from one such mistake .when the eyes automatically shut every time you know when something unpleasant happens! Hehehehe. Too much!

All eyes stared me for a moment. And every single one of them appeared saying oyyyyeee wo phodaaaaa!!!!!! The lab in charge was certainly not pleased tried desperately to smile but gave boman irani's famous munna bhai expression of laughing anger. After few minutes I was working with a new set of chamber and all the events happened in the exact sequence .my eyes were shut tighter this time and I realized this that I have also closed my ears spilling all the content of the test tube on my favourite shirt!!!!! No hell no..not again man! Now you know how the "Bura mat suno" thing came into existence! Another reflex oriented thought and I could see all my lab mates giggling on me and my Bengali accented lab assistant howled O Bharun Raaaz, E na cholbe! (means ye nahin chalega). I bhiill gibh u eaaaphh (read F) grade. I was in deep shit indeed! I just asked him slowly sir do you chat with any gal who has a mole on her right thigh? (That is another thing that he has been fooled by our group of friends posing as a gal and using all the seducing skills developed after seeing "Basic Instinct" of the two people whom I fooled..they lovingly told me about the gal who they were talking to and both of them said that the gal talked very much like Sharon Stone!!!! Thank god that the two never talked between themselves! It was only the graduation party where they came to know that "Sharon Stone" was none other than me :D ) Welcome to the party sir!!!! I immediately sensed that he mellowed down Are bhoruuun todo todo todne se hi to seekhta hai na hum sab hum bhi bahut todaa hai

Now these were the first two mistakes .the third is weirder one. While conducting an experiment for geotechnical engineering for sample of soils, it was required to frequently measure temperature of solution using a long thermometer. And after every measurement the thermometer had to be dipped in cold water to bring the mercury down. Now I am world famous for my fast working skills (read impatient, this is what my mom says! Hehehehe) Another lab assistant was there along with my two group members. He saw that the mercury wasn't coming down and tried dipping it in colder water. I couldn't stop myself again reflex it is you know that I recalled how you bring the normal thermometer's mercury down yepp by giving it lots of jhatkaas. I told this guy ki sir laao mujhe do main karta hoon, and even before he could utter a word I took it and a big JHATKAA and KATTTTT!!! The thermometer broke into two mercury spilled all over..and I was like ..eeerrrrr .uuummmmm. Man I literally felt like stepping on bull's shit! What face do you make when you step on shit?? Exxxactly, I made that face! And the funny thing is that I started to convince the lab guy that don't worry sir I will collect all the mercury and hand it over to you! This happens when you act extra smart! The result, next time an expensive Italian machinery's thermometer broke in hydraulics lab .the assistant was looking for me in all the hostels!!!! I didn't break that

These are few experiments I did as a time pass with my old camera I never knew that light can create this!

This is done with a torch

Looks like an alien to me

This poem is just a figment of imagination, and has no relevance to any person living or dead! 

aankho par paaniyon ka karz hai zara,
fikra wajah ki nahin, bewajah hai kuch zindagi me
utarega ye karz dheema dheema,
kadva dhuyan jo aankho me hai bhara

saans me atkaa hai jo dhuyaan bada nukeela hai
humne maanga nahin zindagi se kuch jo mila
kabhi kabhi kismato ko apne haatho me cheela hai

baisaakhiyon ke sahare dard nahin chala karte,
aarzoo chalti hai
jab kabhi hume mila, dard hi tha wo silaa
dil kabhi zara jalaa, to dard -e- dil ko aarzoo bana diya

ek gaadhi lakeer hatheli pe kheenchi to taqdeer bana diya
tamaam daulato me lutata dil, dil nahin fakeer bana diya

 reh reh kar saans par bhaari padi zindagi par
dekha kiye sab magar koi raqeeb na reh gaya

barse baadal, paaya saahil, paayi manzil
har aarzoo paas rahi, magar koi kareeb na reh gaya

raat ka nasha aankho me taaza surkh jo tha
subhe talak aankho se barasta reh gaya

pyaas rahi der talak, paani guzar gaya falak se
labo ne chakhaa boond-dar-boond,
magar halak tarasta reh gaya

kaaghazo ne waade kiye the kuch,
sauda tha jazbaato ka
magar wo kaaghaz aadha jhootha aadha sachha reh gaya

baarish bhi hoti rahi saude ki
raat se subhe talak peer barsaayi
magar main hisaab me kachha reh gaya

Varun

hataane ko andheraa main shab jalaata raha, 

wo raat ko bedardi se bujhaate rahe

kor pakad kar aatish ki, main garmaahat jodta raha

wo barf pighlaakar jazbaat bujhaane ki sujhaate rahe

main ik raah pakad kar raasta banata raha

wo har raah ke aakhir me ek raah banaate rahe

ek main tha, unhe manzil maan paas aata raha

wo rehguzar jaan mujhi se door jaate rahe

main apni wafaa me fanaa hota raha

wo apni bewafaai pe bhi itraate rahe

Kal raat der talak barsaat hoti rahi
mano chaand pighal raha ho
dheeme dheeme tapak raha tha falak se
barasti rahi chaandani toot kar 

aur ab ye aalam hai ki,
ghar ke saamne wali sadak bhar gayi hai chaand se
ghar me mere bhi kuch cheete khidki par jame hain

neeche hi kisi ne tashtari me saja liya hai
rakh liya hai quaid karke chaand ka ek tukda
aur kuch bachcho ne uchhal diya hai kood kar
khwahish ko ek doosre ke upar
dekha to wo sarobar ho gaye the
usi chaand me jo pighal kar toota tha kal raat

 intezaar kar raha hoon is baar
kab tootega doosra chaand dubara
to main bhi apni khidki pe
tashtari rakh, chaand ko kamre me le aoonga

Hey all,

Well just like Priyanka Chopra and Nelsen Mandela, its my happy birthday too J

I turn a year older to my beliefs and a year younger to my dreams

I turn a year older to all the love and care and respect I got here and I turn a year younger to the faith of all the people who have known me

I turn a year older to my poetries and a year younger to all the emotions went in writing them

I turn a year older to the experiences that life has given me and a year younger to the lessons that I have learnt here

I turn a year older to be what I want to be and a year younger to what all you would want me to be

Thanks to all of you for all your warm wishes J J It couldn't have been any better for me.

Would like to scribble few lines

Sulagte huye jazbaato ko yun

Phoonk kar na bujhaao

Ik aatish niklegi saanso se

Thoda tum jaloge aur thoda hum

Jazbaat ke thande hone tak

Jo jal chuka hai aaftaab hai

Mere sir pe aasmaan ke judwe ko na hataao

Na koi taara tootega

Na koi khwaahish poori hogi

Aarzoo ke chhor se

Ehsaas ke kone tak

-Varun
