The Gift..I did not want..

I am afraid, what if you kill Mommy

and if God takes her away from me

What would I tell Granny,

How would Daddy take care of me alone?

Mommy loves you so much already,

and she takes good care of you

What if she forgets me,

I was her best till now, would I still be?

I fear the tomorrow, when you will arrive

and I would have to become the elder one

What if I am not small anymore,

would they still love me, like they did?

Mommy screamed with pain, tears in her eyes

and Oh I hated you so much

her sorrow teared my heart inside,

I wish I could take you far away from her.

They took her away, I screamed out,Mommy

Dad held my trembling hands, I now knew Fear.

He told me to pray, and that God would help me

I told him, to kill you, I hated you too much.

Hours passed by, I fell asleep with tear-strewn eyes

and I woke up to a crowded outburst, startled by the din.

People were crying, rushing, no one saw me,

As I struggled to find Daddy, where would he be?

There he took me into his arms,

I felt a shudder, What if Mommy..

No, she couldn't, I needed her, I'd told God

What if she was gone, forever?

Gently, he stroked my hair and led me in,

I crept into his chest, I didn't wish to open my eyes ever.

Daddy cajouled me as he asked me to look around,

with fearful eyes, I stood on the ground.

Mommy smiled, as she took me in her arms,

I knew I had found what I needed the most

Wasn't I glad,she was alright..

And then she guided me to you..

Those pretty black eyes, sparkled like molten gold

I saw your little fingers,as they clasped my thumb.

And I trembled at your touch, it seemed like a hot rush

and it warmed me up that cold February night.

I'd wanted God to take you away,

how mean could I be, I wondered.

And as I thought, you smiled at me

And that was the most precious thing, I ever saw.

It Hurts to be Me.

The effervescent night cries its silent lullabies

the chroniclers of substance note the last hymn

Of stories of Hope and chivalry of men long lost

to an undefined catharsis of bygone memories.

It hurts to envisage the past.

The hungry eyes of the man and that of the child,

two different worlds,they highlight

and yet the Hunger seeps off the rest

the only survivor is the victim of the two.

It hurts to resonate the echoing silences.

Tamed fear like a tear drop, falls gently

like the clattering of the crockery,left unwashed

after the innuendo of the extravaganza

A celebration of another worldly discourse-now faded and lost.

It hurts to laugh when you wish to smile.

Lament, with age grows like coal on fire

slowly extinguishing within its own lingering gray

As it dissolves sublimely into the air

Like a mirage through a raindrop, suspended like a prayer.

It hurts,

It hurts to be Me.

To-Night

For every man, they say

is a beloved,somewhere.

Where, I beseech tonight.

Tonight.

To rub the tender night

against the moonlight

Where,do I melt into my beloved.

Beloved.

Let the flavors of innocence

float like dew on a rose petal,

As it slides down my window of faith.

Faith.

Take me to that land, I said

where the Never is Never told.

To a place where  there is a Forever.

Forever.

He took my hand, led me along

Kissed the tears away with a song.

I closed my eyes,as I wept unto him tonight,

Tonight.

Nostalgic Moments (Just For Once)

Everytime I eat samosas adrak wali chai or kachoris, I think of you..
Every time I smell the pages of an old History book, I can see your lopsided smile..
Every moment, every thing that I do..I miss you. I walk down the Nostalgia Lane, with melancholic windows, look out towards me..
Rest in Peace ..

BlogFest~ Nostalgic Moments

Kinshuk,

It feels so weird. I can't cry. I cannot laugh.I can just stare at the past that's gone and look at our pictures, knowing that you're gone..too.

I know you're there, there'll be people telling me you are.. But I know you're not..

You're an enlightenened soul, and not wordly, anymore..

And yet my heart seeks..yearns.. for the moments that became memories..

To re-live..rejoice

To Love and to be loved, to be understood and encouraged..

We had it all..didn't we?

24th August,2010

The day was magical..

So was the last telephone call..I'll regret disconnecting the call Kinshi..I'll regret a lot of things I never did..a lot of things I never said..But I know you knew me too well.. You knew everything that I ever had to say..silently smiling.. jerking your fair, your eyes would hint, It'll all be okay..I need that hug, I need that embrace,

I need to believe again. I need.

Just for Once..

Just for Once..Today, Tomorrow


Every single day..passes..
And a realization haunts me..
That we might not meet on this journey anymore..
24th August, 2010 was the last time my friend
when we danced, frolicked
Fought and made up,
I tied you the Rakhi, and you were so frustrated,
and yet you smiled, looking at the hot kachoris, I'd bought.
You took out money from the ATM, a 100rupees note
My account was yours, you knew my password!
We fought, fought like the night and the day
not knowing,
they are part of a larger Unity, of this Universe
But I saw the fire turn to dust,
I saw it all in front of my eyes,
I saw it all fall apart.
And yet the fire comforts, a broken heart.


I fear the time and distance, lost too much already
This journey seems ever-lasting and daunting
I feel like a mediator between me and myself,
condoling and consoling, the two.
And yet, the nights seem too long.
As the days pass by.


Soon today shall become the past,
a day gone, wasted and mourned.
I fear a tomorrow,that makes its presence felt
Like the air I breathe, like an invisible intangible bubble
That surrounds me, like your hug.


I see your halo, in the sun rays and the hot coffee vapors,
in the light blue sky and the wings of a butterfly.
I see your shadow in the wisdom of a child,
or the playfulness of the old man who smiles back at me.


You are too much present to be absent, my friend,
But this heart o' mine longs for you
each passing moment
I wish, just wish, you hear me once,
and come to share this struggle I keep inside.


I still see you in every note that I read,
every time I pass that backyard lane
I feel you around, in the rain,
You spin me around, in a multitude of ways.


Just yet, I ask, you for that one last time,
Let us be friends again?
Come lets have some Belgian chocolate
and play dumb-charades,
and on an act, we begin to laugh,
the kind of laughter, that resonates for ever.


Come back my friend, even if it is for that one last stance
Lets live forever..in this one moment
Just for once.

I want to be The Girl

I want to be the girl

he's scared to lose

The one who makes him shiver

with her feathered touch.

I want to be that girl

who is his only princess

The one who can build his dreams

With the utmost care of a mother.

I want to be his girl

he'd hold me tight

and we'll slow dance under the moonlit sky

the breeze blows my hair,his fingers sweep them aside.

I want to be that girl 

who makes him lose his sense

for whom he'd fall on his knees

and break all the spells.

I want to be the girl

whom he'd call his wife

The one who would define his love

in golden sermons and starry lights

I want to be the girl

he loves, he holds by her waist

As he tells me about her,

I sit and regret.My silence.

I want to be that girl.

When English was Mutilated by an Indian

This is one of the most extra-ordinary accounts you shall ever come across that describes a Cow so "well".
Beautifully expressed,
You HAVE to see this..to Believe it!

This was written in the Indian Administrative Services (IAS) examinations by a candidate named Manish Pandey. Totally meant to be taken light-heartedly! ENJOY!!

Imagine.. A Woman

Imagine a Woman

Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.

A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.

Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.

Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself.

A woman who listens to her needs and desires.

Who meets them with tenderness and grace.

Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past's influence on the present.

A woman who has walked through her past.

Who has healed into the present.

Imagine a woman who authors her own life.

A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.

Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice.

Imagine a woman who names her own gods.

A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.

Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life.

Imagine a woman in love with her own body.

A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.

Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body.

A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.

Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life.

Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.

A woman who sits in circles of women.

Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Imagine yourself as this woman.

Thank you.
More details, below the post. Happy Reading!

I still remember the day I got a small message with a logo on the right side of my Facebook Wall. It was a fight against a cause where we all were asked to join by a single click. Many of us may have joined the cause just thinking it like another bogus event. But with due course of time it turned out into next biggest thing in the country. 

It was ANNA against Corruption; a common man against an empire. The groups were made further, Pages were liked and further initiatives were taken over the issue on a serious way where masses joined and met further to the execution of the Event. And today still people are sharing and liking the Anna movement over their wall. Something same happened over Twitter, another biggest social network around the globe. Even US- Officials were seen tweeting over the Anna’s revolution. It is just like revolution in the interior of the country. A country with the bulkiest constitution; which took around 3 years and a lot of amendments were made since then still making it more bulkier but this weight was being put upon the shoulder’s of common man where rescues were made for the corrupt officials and a common man was force to corrupt the society.

These social media networks are now helping a common to speak up and to put upon their views and something same happened for the fight against corruption; just like the way India was connected all across its borders by Hindi and English papers where Gandhi ji was a means of connection under British government. Here Anna not being a supporter of any political parties is a common man like us standing against Government and taking initiatives to clean this pond of dirty corruption. He may look simple at his attire but this Annaberg(Iceberg) is going to hit the Indian corrupt Titanic where corruption has to sink.

India and the Indian has really changed and I hope my pen works like a virus here. Finally we got new way to use social networking; connecting the country and each section of society from wall to wall.
