As the horizon expands,
The blemishes disappear
The madness takes over the fear
And you know that the truth Is somewhere near!
A smile and a pocket full of peppermints
Are they your only assets, she asked?
What else do I need, he said
To wipe tears and make friends?
After all, we have come here to spread the taste of sweetness
Onto the bitter tongues and into the wounded hearts!
Words - use them wisely
For you know not how they can pierce a heart
They can burn bridges and wage wars
 If only you can string them with care and love
They can light up the lives and wipe away all the scars

Washing away all the sins, the ashes, and the dirt
That people discarded in her
She gushes violently
Surpassing all the man-made boundaries
Demanding respect with her fury
As her gigantic friends watch and bear her wrath
Ganga pours and deluges the humanity!
Some assumptions made by our auto drivers:
-- Even though we ride a three wheeler, we always assume that we ride a one wheeler. We will ensure that the front wheel lands safely while we are not responsible if the two rear wheels land in some pothole! It is the responsibilty of the passengers to insure their backs!
--We believe that our 3 wheelers have flexible bodies. Hence we can squeeze in anywhere, even between 2 gigantic buses. We are not responsible for the horrified expressions of the passengers.
--We don't care if we need to go left or right because we know that we are always right
Heavy words
Empty talk
Wandering minds
Stubborn "I"s
Knotty bonds
Unquenchable thirst
Limited breaths

Boy1 (Cries): Pyar maanga hai tumhi se, Naa inkar Karo
Girl1 (Grins): Ye dosti hum nahin chodenge
(Boy2 enters)
Girl1 to Boy2: Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta hai
(Boy1 wails more loudly)

Girl2: Tanha tanha yahan pe jeena, yeh koi baat hai
Boy1 (Without wasting much time): Ok sure.
(But sigh! Badtameez Dil!)
Boy1: Kya karoon hai kuch kuch hota hai (sad version)
(Boy3 enters)
Boy3: One-sided love is fun. Tu haan kar ya na kar, Tu hai meri Kkkkk
Girl1: Jo hain sama, kal ho na ho
Boy1: Pyaar se badkar dosti….Dosti se badkar Pyaar…Pyar…Dosti
Anjali and Rahul: Hey, didn’t we address that before? BTW what was the answer, director ji?
Audience: Iss movie ko dekhna
Aur dekh ke samajhna
Ai dil hai mushkil
Dosti ya Pyar? The nation wants to know!
The real defeat comes in when our minds give up even before the game begins. It is important to play the game until the end with an everblooming hope. And once we do that, we know the game; it really doesn't matter if we win or lose.
My rugged path of devotion
Your winding highway of logic and conclusion
You go 
I go
You grow
I grow
Meet you at the end, my friend!
People say “Don’t change” all the time
But unless
The emotions whirl
The thoughts are in turmoil
The flimsy canoe of life is caught in sudden squall
The layers of ego peel
How will I know which one is my call?
And how will I find myself in all?
