I had put an alarm for 7.30 in the morning…..but on waking up I heard the rain , felt the pleasant cold and snuggled back to blissful sleep…after all it’s a Sunday….But when my eyes opened again, it was 9 and the beautiful weather got to me. I thought this cannot be missed. So IContinue reading “A Bright Rainy Sunday Morning”

But as i went through names, instances, memories, tears, smiles, school, college, work, PG, hostel, roommates,Continue reading “Mom – Best Friend Forever”
Leaving Behind …. Part 1
I had always prided myself as one of those sensible, emotionally invincible humans, who never cried on parting. Who never shed a tear on last good byes. But somehow, now, that I am inevitably about to finish the silver jubilee of my life, I am recollecting the good byes at every stage of my life.Continue reading “Leaving Behind …. Part 1”
D-
There’s a presence I avoid believing in, It’s faceless, voiceless, formless … If I say it doesn’t exist, the reason for my being where I am is an unsolved mystery, If I say it does, it’s an easy excuse…For some, the optimists ofcourse, its their greatest guide…for me, an eternal enemy… As d-issapointment, d-espair, d-estruction,Continue reading “D-“
Why?
Are you afraid to be the same in your own actions as you are in your desire? (Macbeth). Will you always say “I can’t” after “I won’t”? Were you drunk when you first bent on one knee and professed infinite love and promised a lifetime of partnership in the midst of a room full ofContinue reading “Why?”
Clash of the Spectacles
Just a simple walk, they promised each other, Two strangers far away from home; Two broken hearts, on a beach, in summer, A chance collision, in the dashing foam.

A ball to remember
He comes, he fumbles, he smirks, he tumbles, He opens his mouth and concepts stumble An oblong ball that sways and grumbles He teaches, he preaches, to me it’s pure rubbish When he solves mathematics, it sounds like gibberish When he proves, I wonder, How dumb will be the new blunder His voice lulls aContinue reading “A ball to remember”
Dreams
On that lonely lane, with the trees so high, Where birds and bees, both sing and fly, Little flowers bloom To say goodbye to gloom, Green meadows spread for miles and miles, Over hilltops and lawns and stiles; Where rabbits hop around the roads And squirrels quarrel under their abodes, The light breeze plays aContinue reading “Dreams”

Once I was so full of joy,Smiling and Hopping and Dancing my way.Now I feel I am but a toyIn the hands of the one I love, to play. Once I was strongContinue reading “Rediscovering Me”
Terror Unleashed
T’was a beautiful winter evening, with a soft breeze blowing, The roads of Bombay, with it’s usual frenzy and spirit, glowing, A throng of tired minds going home and families on an outing, No hint in the air, as to what those devious minds were scheming, As the normalcy of the evening grew into theContinue reading “Terror Unleashed”
