All is well?

Let's pretend today again,
You ask me, how I am?
And I will say, all is well.
But when you hear 'all is well' 
Don't take my words as they are
Ask me again and again and again
I may share my grief and sadness and pain,
Ask me how I am?
Ask me, when I am drunk or angry or sad,
Or all of them.
Then you may hear some bitter truth 
which I do not  tell, 
Not to you and not to parents and not to friends 
Things which are known 
to none of them.
I may say all is not well
In fact, nothing is well.
Let's pretend today again,
You ask me, how I am?
And I will say, all is well.

Friendship Day

I just wake up on a lazy Sunday,
Swilling my bed tea, Checking the phone 
lighting my cigarette, finding  the ashtray 
And I realized, It is a friendship day.
Once upon a time,
It was a damn important day.
Today, the friendship day 
is just like any other Sunday.

Those were the days, how can I forget?
The alarm clock was some crap thing,
I used to wake up by friends shouting,
My nickname and some crazy phrases, 
come out fast, be ready, 
it is not your wedding.

Those were the days, how can I forget?
Time was plenty, tensions were few
Memories were plenty, pics were few
Love was plenty, bucks were few.

Once upon a time, 
It was a damn important day.
Today, the friendship day
is just like any other Sunday.

Those were the days, how can I forget?
We were happy in Samosa and Thumbs up treats,
Pizza and burgers were reserved for some super special meets.
We were happy in two Rupee kulhad tea,
And laughs on morons who pay hundred for coffee in CCD.
We were small, dreams and ambitions were big.
Six friends, two bikes 
and roaming in the streets 
were normal things,
f**k the helmets, f**k the license, 
f**k the rules, 
we were daredevils. 

Those were the days, how can I forget?
Few games of Contra, Mario and Tank was
sensational than PUBG, fortnite and Apex Legends.
Few hundreds of pocket money were
valuable than lacs of wages.
We were singing, dancing, playing like
crazy and living our life on edges.
Yeah, I can write about those days for ages.

Once upon a time, it was a damn important day.
Today, the friendship day is just like any other Sunday.
