THE LAST POST

This is my last post
Of the last day
Of the lengthy year
2012 for all of you
I wish you a safe New year
Just like we wish Happy and safe Diwali
This time the year yearns for the wish of
A secure and Happy new year
Dont surrender before the crooks
I'm sure we cook up a stringent law soon
Till then stay alert, be vigilant and not to forget
Your never-fading smile
A smile for which the world smiles
A smile at which the year smiles
This all smiles are to be smiled by you.
Smile these smiles before the smile smiles out.

LOVE OVER STUBBLE

The big zingy eyes under the black fur mask enraptured Varun. Amongst ten other artists playing "Ramleela", his eyes were fixed on just one character "Jamvant". From tip to toe, Tanya was wrapped in black-hairy dress with the beard mask giving her a manly look. The fulminant ligament stretch of Varun brought Tanya in spotlight. She could mimic the man's voice well. Dramatics was not her cup of tea but she tried to brew a coffee to fit in the place.

Stageplay scene:
 Ram, Laxman, Hanuman, Jamvant and Vanar-sena standing at the sea-shore musing over the present snag of how to cross the sea to check for Sita ji's whereabouts in Ravana's captivity.

The lights get focussed on Jamvant. His (actually her) entire face is masked. Only her big eyes seemed moving with her hands making gestures in symphony with the dialogues. She played fairly at this avocation.

The play-coordinator and the fellow members , all were holding their breath while she enacted. As the curtain fell, the audience applauded with whistles and clapping. And the loudest to be heard was of Varun. He was so enthralled that he tried to stand up raising his hands down until the strain in his leg pitched out his cry.

Tanya rushed from the backstage to hold him in her arms. As she curled round her arms around his waist to help him walk to the car, he softly whispered in her ears, " Thank- you".She gently rose her masked face and fluttered her eyelids saying , " Anything for you Sir!!".

Tanya drove back to their apartment. The whole way none of them uttered a word. The music playing spoke both of their hearts out.

     It's in the silences,
the words you never say
I see it in your eyes,
it always starts the same way
It seems like everyone we know,
is breaking up
Does anybody ever stay in love, anymore?

 

I promise you,
from the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never love again
With everything I am.

They reached their home in a jiff of 15 minutes. Tanya helped Varun through the lift to their bedroom. He sprawled on the bed and propped his right leg on soft pillows. The wicked night seemed to have caught him added with the saviour performance of Tanya. He started singing .

Don't love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love me for a reason
Let the reason be love.

 

 

Tanya was still in the shoes of Jamvant and bited witting ,"Jai Shree Ram ". Varun winked at her. He could no longer wait to sit at a distance from his beloved. He wide opened his arms asking Tanya for a cuddling embrace. Tanya rolled her eyes and spoke from under the mask, " Let me remove this beardy mask."

 

 

Varun insisted her to sit in his lap ( just one leg-lap, the right leg was under strain). She felt embarrassed and her cheeks blushed but weren't visible under the mask. She then gently stepped towards him holding the solution in her hand to remove the mask easily and fell in his strong arms. He hugged her more tight and said ," You are my heart."

 

He let her loose and held her beardy face in his hands.

"What if  you too have a dense thicket like this always??", he cracked.

"Then you will have to crave for an interlocked lip kiss", she blatantly replied.

 

He looked straight into her eyes. Hastened to remove that beardy mask from her fair face with utmost care. As the mask was being pulled off , the skin was resisting its leave.

"See your skin is kissing the mask", he articulated.

 

She didn't hollo even a single time. She was in the most caring hands. The mask was being slowly separated from the skin and the beautiful face of Tanya was peeping out. The mask was still half- unplugged but he couldn't resist himself as soft pink lips unveiled from beneath the mask. He pulled her face close to his. She shyly looked down and closed her eyes. Varun caressed her lips moving his fingers over the silhouette of her lips and in no time interlocked his lips with hers.

 

 

 

Both were growing restless. The heat of love had aroused them. A strand of fibre-hair from the half-hanging beard made its way into Varun's mouth. He at once jerked right in the middle of action.

He blurted, " What is it?? ".

Tanya unaware of the strand- trouble passed a questioning look.

"Jamvant ji doesn't allow this", he said raising his brows , pulling out the strand smeared in his saliva.

She gripped the whole scene and laughter gags wafted into the air.

 

Tanya changed into her nightie. By the time Varun was lost in some deep thought. As Tanya slid into the bed, pensive Varun gently took her hands in his and softly said, " Sorry!!!".

Tanya got shocked and seated in a jump," What happened??".

 

 

"From tomorrow onwards I'll shave every evening. That single strand spoiled my whole mood. Now I understand why you always run away when I carry stubble. You never pushed me to get rid of it unlike others' wives. But the red rashes on your delicate face because of my prickly stubble says it all. Why didn't you scold me earlier??" , said the sorry Varun.

 

She smiled at him and said, " You man are so stubborn that our every suggestion seems an order to you. So I just gave you your time to realize your stubble- trouble".

 

Varun assured her with his eyes bowing down. Tanya stretched her hand in the side-by drawer and carried out a gift.

"This is for you.", she said in her most kindling tone.

Varun was flabbergasted with this odd-time present. "For me?? Why?? ".

"Just open it", she said.

 

When he unwrapped the box, he found a Gillete Shaving kit.

 

"Ahh!! You naughty Menace!!", he turned to her.

 

She shrugged her shoulders and said with a deceptive smile," The beard -strand  was all a plotted one just to make you realize your bristles spoil the love. I dont like you being a beard buddy."

 

He was amazed by her witty plan. He put the gift into use and a few moments later went close to her with the clean fragrance , switched off the lamp to interlock her in dark.

कश्मकश

नहीं बयां कर पाऊँगी कभी
अपना हाल - ए - दिल तेरे सामने
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


तू ना जान सका मेरे दिल में छुपा राज
कभी ना जान पाएगा मेरी खामोशी का राज
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.
 
रुसवा नहीं हूँ तुझसे, पर अपनी जिंदगानी से
थमा दी किसी के दिल की डोर मेरे हाथो में
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


खता नहीं ये तेरी, मेरी ही लाचारी है
हीरे को ठुकराकर दर- दर की ठोकर खानी है 
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


मै नहीं वो खुशनसीब जिसे तू खुश रख सके
मै वो हूँ जो तुझे कभी खुश कर नही सकती
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


दोस्ती मे प्यार ढूंढती रही तेरी रूह
संसार मे खुद को तलाशती मेरी रूह है 
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.

 
पल-दो-पल की ख़ुशी, जीवन भर का गम
ऐसे नहीं महफूज रह सकते हम
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


पनाह दे ना सकी एक घायल परिंदे को
माफ़ करना ऐ- खुदा इस बेबस बंदी को 
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


टूट जाएँगे कई दिल, थम जाएंगी कई सांसे 
जो ना जोड़ पाई मै एक टूटी हुई ईमारत
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


निकल पड़ी हूँ एक ज्योत जलाने 
छोड़ एक का साथ,दूजो को मिलाने
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.


बख्श देना मुझे नादाँ समझकर
नही कर पाई एक दिल की हिमायत
ये कैसी मुश्किल है, ये कैसी कश्मकश है.

THE BLUE BALLOON

Beneath the giant wheel,
Stood a man in green.
Holding the bright balloons upright,
He blew the piper-pipe. 

Red,Yellow,Green and Blue,
Danced to the music in crew.
Tied with the strings tight,
They glided to left to right.

Merry-making was the Balloon family,
Until a child came to the man-slender.
Choosing the blue balloon,
He drived the balloons into gloom.

Red was the mother,            
Yellow was the father.
Green was the brother,
Of the Balloon Blue.

Green twirled his string,
Around the neck of blue.
Red caressed his head,
And Yellow stared at the child below.

The man disentangled the entangled
Strings of the Green and the Blue.
Moving aside the Red and Yellow,
He pulled out the string of Blue.

The Blue swayed hard,
Against the movement of man's hand.
The wind was still,
The balloons were raging.

Red ,Yellow and Green looked dull,
The man dusted for the gloss.
It was the dust of departure,                                                                          
Reigning the Balloon family.

THE DRIED TEAR DROPS

The three - year old half naked child with dark colour, filthy body and shabby shirt with just one button to hold up the cloth on his body was roaming in the general compartment of Indian Rail. With his hands spread out to receive something in kind rather than the one-rupee coin, his eyes carried a different gleam while visiting every passenger in the hope of some mercy. I was watching him from the past ten minutes when he appeared from the passage near the toilet and embarked upon his MISSION ROTI.

 

Begging for the mercy he went to a young man who seemed too busy with his cellphone that I doubt if he had heard his voice behind the music playing in his ears and fingers moving fast on the touchpad. The poor child was accustomed to such apathetic hearts, so he moved forward. He approached a lady carrying about ten- months old baby. The baby was jumping  in his mother's lap to grab the water bottle. And the mother was enjoying tossing the bottle from left to right and right to left. The little boy slyly put his finger in mouth wishing if he too  had such a mother. The lady shook her head beckoning him not to stare but go away. The pauper- boy trudged his feet along with the dirty litters lying on the floor of the train. His malnutritioned body was clearly visible through the tattered shirt he was wearing. He had completed one row juxtaposed with the passengers but was still empty- handed.

 

Ironical, tens of people can't feed one single child. The poor boy still had hope and moved towards the next row. How much patience such vagabonds carry that amongst the thousands, one will definitely show mercy on them.

 

In the next row, a young girl almost of his age was munching uncle chips. When she saw the poor boy, she put her hand into the packet and took out two chips. When the boy came near, she gave him the chips. The boy smiled and the greetings came through eyes. But no later the mother of the girl caught hold of her and served her with two loud slaps. The lady shouted at the generous girl while she sobbed. The pauper-boy ran away and watched the show from a distance. He was feeling sorry for the girl and put the two chips in his mouth. It seemed his stomach felt happy after being fed with two crumbs.

 

When he walked to the third row, a family was having their home-made lunch. As they saw him begging, they shrunk into their seats with the food. The boy held no expressions and turned back. Suddenly another man sitting there called him. The man stood up and reached for his bag lying above him. He took out his lunch-box he carried from home. He opened the lunch-box and gave the only paratha to the boy. Perhaps he had already took his lunch and that last paratha was his leftover. The hungry boy seemed elated as if he had received a kilo of rasgullas. He humbly took the feed and rushed towards the passage. There emerged a few more children and a vagabond-woman carrying a young baby. The boy showed the paratha he earned today to his fellow friends. But suddenly the vagabond-woman snatched the paratha from him. She kept half with herself while distributed the remaining half amongst some odd five children including the boy. The poor boy hardly got a piece to be called paratha rather just a crumb. I was sitting in the fourth row and watched the vagabond- lady eating half of the paratha.

 

This is an everyday scene in the train, on the roadside. I have seen many beggars earlier too but what typical catched my attention this time?? Was it the little boy who blankly stood near the gate after winning just a crumb of the whole paratha ? or was it the kind girl who was slammed for feeding another child? or was it the man who gave away his leftover to the boy?

 

Each of us come across such beggars outside our home, while commuting to school or office, while visiting the temple, outside a vanity fair, at the bus stop or at the railway station. But we hardly stop to take a look on them. Though as a child we might have felt pity for these beggars just like the young girl in train but as we grow up, we become accustomed to their terminal miseries which becomes a show for granted. Perhaps this time I looked on that pauper-boy because I was not moving anywhere , neither was I caught up in any work but just watching the show from the fourth row.

DO YOU WANNA BOOZE???

Do you wanna go fuse?

Lets get boozed.

Do you wanna noose?

Lets go loose.

Oh Boy! shake with me.

Oh Girl ! move with me.

Lets get lost in the boozed world.

Out from every worry

No need to hurry.

Sit here and cheer with me

Hey! give us a peg wee.

Keep aside your contemporary SANSKAAR

Trying once won't make you LACHAAR.

Not like the maths formulae,

Which needs revision twice a day.

It's like the exam  a day,

Which needs just a shot today.

Common! Booze with me

Just once for me

You will feel glee.

Some events mark their presence annually which urges everyone to go mad into celebration. Be it the birthday or the new year party. Be it the marriage or a chill-out party. Friends who are tagged as the fun-elements sometimes turn out to be so adamant and bossy that they indulge someone decent into their indecent acts.

The aforementioned verse might be the words of your best pal or your dear one trying to convince you to booze just once. But resist the temptation. Abstain yourself from this rich yet poor thing. I read somewhere, "Every cheap thing lures the customers and the three famous 'W' s are the most alluring bait.(Wine, wealth and women)".

Yes! Wine may cost a good bucks but proves cheap for the liver.

The episode of nation- wide acclaimed show, SATYAMEV JAYATE on 1July brought this issue in light. This issue was also raised by a news channel recently. The rising craze of rave parties is setting decoy for youth to get into the booze-trap.

The irony of the hour is the most educated section of society is indulged in such illiterate activities. When deliberately a person axes his foot , who is more stupid than him? Giving the name of one time fun to tipple may turn out to be a life time penalty. The consumption of alcohol not only closes the pores of your skin and your excretory channel but it also abandons your brain.Once consumed the brain asks for more and more until the body forbids to function. This is the tendency of alcohol. It's thirst never quenches and consequently it dries out everything from relations to status, from health to wealth.

Javed Akhtar, famous Indian lyricist, once an alcoholist now abstains from this 'W' since 14 years said on the show, "People call me intellect but if I was really so then why did I take 20 years to elude this disease?"

This is the most serious ill-effect of this wine that it spares no one. The richest may become poor and the wisest may sound insane. Abstain from this evil otherwise it will abstain you from you.

Many of my friends, boys as well as girls are found saying, " Oh! I did it just for fun. I too want to feel how actually my world goes round and round. Moreover I'm not addicted. Be sporty. You too try and run a risk." I go bewilder whether one time shot may turn a newbie into an addicted?? Perhaps No. But the show depicted the case of a well- known journalist who came down to streets just because of this 'W'.

Life is a one time opportunity ,so why to waste even a bit of it trying something offensive and hazardous. The youth should behave sensibly and should shoulder the resposibility of curbing this evil from the society and bring down the growing statistics of accidents because of alcohol consumption. Even your one time act may take life of someone like CURRAN , a 15 years old Delhi school boy who lost his breath because of a 'W'-addicted. Look at his father weeping endlessly lamenting over the loss of his only child. Don't become the reason of anyone's tears cursing you till the death. Understand your role in the society and abide by the moral duties.

I dont find it effective to rely over the laws for ruling out some stringent laws to put a check over your habits. Are you so insane and irresponsible that now you need some law to resist such tipple drinks? Stand up and take a vow to fight against your malefic habit. It will not only replenish your life with innumerable smiles but also will take care of others' smiles.

:) :) :)

DREAMS

When my dreams come true,
It washes away my blue.
Drenches me wet,
Draining away the vex.
Nests a smile,
For a long long while.
Bearing sweet fruits,
To my sleepless endeavours.
Quenches my thirst,
In this competitive desert.
They say I was destined for it,
But I say my efforts won me my destiny.

"This is how a day dreamer reels."
My castle broke when I stood awoke.
They had striked the chord within me.
Not at all perturbed by the honk,
Instead thankful to their plonk.
'M all geared up with the steel
You will be there to clap for me,
When my dreams will come true,
Dawning the blue upon you.
Was all I said before
I turned around to embrace the best.

:):):)

SAILING WITH FATHER

The elusive bond  a father and a daughter shares cannot be described in a vignette. The cherubic and inexplicable affection a father holds for his lovely daughter can be read only by the little acts he does persistently to make her feel like the princess. And the darling daughter when stands strong defeating her tears to fortify his repute depicts however gallant her prince may be but still her father is the BRAVEST KING she knows.

God blessed him to bless his own child.
He is sincerely shouldering his responsibility
Since the day she embarked on his huge ship.
Endearing her with the marine comforts,
He has been spending restless nights
And is continuing till tonight.

Standing still at the seashore
Holding the little moppet in his strong arms
He has been struggling through the waves
Pacifying the wild waves to his feet.

Collecting the sea-shells at dawn
Selling them till the dusk
To buy a doll for her doll
Pictures his sea-like endless love for her.

He often goes to measure the boundaries of sea
And she sits behind gazing at the vast sea.
He returns with the precious stones for her little girl
Leaving her shouting in bewilderment.

A day came when a blonde sailor sailed the girl away
Father climbed the highest for her last sight
She looked back sobbingly averring
You are the best sailor, DAD!!!
 :) :) :)

FLOWER & BUTTERFLY

I'm a butterfly.
Pleasance to see,
But hard to get hold of.
Sitting on a flower,
I spread its pollens,
Then leave it to
Scatter others' spores.

One day a flower befriended me nice

I repaid him in a trice.

But then I had to leave after the season.

I begged his pardon,,

Dont frown at me ever

For once I helped you to flourish

Getting you nourished

To open your pretty petals

And bloom through the sepals.

I owe a debt to you

For colouring my wings blue.

Albeit this is the end of we being together,

I bet to remember you forever.

For I have to fly a distance

To spread your fragrance,

Let me spread my wings

With you as my fragrance.

Forgive me for leaving you alone

But I promise to  strew your pollens into every calyx.

The place will have plethora of your replicas,

Standing erect to bloom into floras.

I will flutter sly,

Whenever I will pass by.

Seeing a glimpse of you in each of them,

This is my friendship to you my friend.

:) :) :)

A TRIBUTE TO MOM

I believe you believe in me

For  I always tried to follow your set-path.

Can never think of hurting you even a slight

For I can't bear to be a reason for your plight.

Would choose to embrace death

Than to be a reason to your tears.

Your smile mesmerizes me  in the real as well as dreams

So heavenly solace I find in your happiness

That is impossible to find anywhere else.

I promise to give you loads of smiles

At the cost of all Baconian pain

To dunk you in the shower of

Rejoicing happiness till the end

Has become my only aim till my end.

Assisting me from my very first breath

I promise to hold your hand at every breath.

Waking up daily in the wee hours to prepare lunch for me

Running around with the glass of milk

Was your care and love I realize now.

Breaking the stone-hard chapatis in the mess

Yearning hard for the late night coffee at my study-table today,

I miss that one chapati in the casserole left for me

With your words echoing loud in my ears

"Energy is needed to run every machine

So fuel yourself properly."

Giving up your celebrations for my studies,

Collecting every penny for CAMBRIDGE,

Serving me light to combat food-poisoning,

Steaming rice and chilling the curd hours before my arrival,

Are the few things I cherish today and indebted to forever.

Holding my hands to draw "A" once,

Today also you stand beside me to write  my best.

Celebrating my winning together,

Boosting me to outperform the last failure,

Is the best support I always get from you.

Instructing me each time I appear for exams

Wishing me even in the INTERNALS

Was what I felt amused at.

Always praying for my win

I think you sign into a deal with God

Everytime I go to battlefield.

I proudly say today all my accolades are indeed won by you.

The start of my every birthday  morning with your kiss and blessings

Was I missed the most during these four  years.

I wish this year the day becomes special just with your presence.

Buying me a new frilled frock each time

You smiled in your old drape which I hated always.

Now I am a grown-up in my twenties

But still your "6th class girl"

And soon this girl is going to endow you

All the happiness and comfort which you have dreamt of through my eyes.

I am working hard for the D-DAY

When all my plans for your smile will come true

And you will embrace  me calling sweetly " MERA RAJA BETA".

JJJ

THE ORION

As the clock ticks 8'o clock in the night, my mind is hit hard by the alarm to take up my daily rendezvous. The legs chase forward, the hands peer backward for cell and headphone,while the torso feels vexed to follow what? the hands? or the legs? and keeps swaying struggling hard with its inertia at rest.
In a trice the whole body assembles and reports to the brain, "Yes Boss! I'am ready to move ahead." I climb upstairs in haste , unlock the door and there I reach, my utopia. the eyelids elegantly flutter upwards followed by the eye-balls. The neck cranes out to reach the most enthralling twinkling constellation THE ORION.

It seems as if the little glitters daily wait for me to start their twinkle show. So we all gather daily on the terrace and a grand show is organised over the vault of heaven. Every night after dinner I love to stroll with these distant yet close friends. It's simply a spell bound period. I'm felling short of words to describe the everyday charisma of this magic.

The verse I learnt in the days of my primary  will become the verse of my teens, I didn't know.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

How I wonder what you are?

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky.

Yes !! I still wonder what are you Orion?? A meagre collection of the stars or my soothing SF( Silent Friend).When I was a kid, I was told people after dying become a star and everynight they come to wish you. As of now at this stage you may find it ludicrous how stupid thought it was. But I still live with this belief. I thank-you Orion for sheltering my NANU so comfortably. I still feel close to him as if he had never gone away. The bright yellow flames engulfed him yet the darkness gifted him back to me.

The dark opera house spreads its peace and calmness every night.The stars peep out from their windows as if saying HELLO to us, the earthites. The cold breeze wave past the silhouette of the visage flushing away all the weariness, tiredness of the day-long hectic schedule. Ahh!!! this wonderful gift of night pleases me extremely. I eagerly wait everyday for the night to fall, for the Orion to come, For the zephyr to stir away the eeriness of this darkness.

At times I feel God has made a perfect schedule for the earth to spin on its own axis and make us feel the magic of day and night. Often when I have no one to share the stupid laugh at some odd happening of the day, I feel my Orion the best companion to join me and go wild with bonkers. And sometimes when I feel like crying hard because of some lacerated happenings, my Orion lends me his shoulder to weep. I'm lucky to explore this beautiful present of nature. Ecstatic to find a friend who never complains ,just make me realize my mistake by gleaming down, a buddy who lauds at my good work and smile from above, a trustworthy companion who never leaks out my secrets, a true pal who never leaves me alone and always assist me in my pink and greys. Just three words for you Orion to express my gratitude: BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.

When Orion rises, night feigns the brightness of day and folds its dusky wings. :):)



CAN I BE THE REASON???

Reason to live?
Reason to eat?
Reason to play?
Reason to study?
Reason to laugh?
Reason to cry?
Reason to celebrate?
Reason to sleep?
Reason to love?
Reason to fight?
Reason to question?
Reason to answer?
Ahh!!!A reason to a reason makes the reason release that reason.

CONFUSED!!!
Infact I was terribly confused when a little girl asked me all the aforesaid reasons to be reasoned. Well!! our brain do the most weirdest thing when it is required the most not to do so. Is finding a reason for each of our actions , reason for our existence, reason for our happiness appreciable? Yet brain appreciates to do the unappreciable many-a-times.

So I asked back the little kid, "Amm.. Tell me what do you like the most??"
"Chocolates",she answered candidly.
"Why should I offer you a chocolate?? Give me a reason."
"Because I command you to give me one right now", ordered the jejune voice.
I chuckled , "What else? I'm not satisfied with this reason."She thought for a while and cutely answered tilting her head left resting the hair over the shoulder,
" Bee-caa-use I always make you smile even just for a while."

I was taken away by her words. Instantly a smile nested over my lips. I groped for the chocolate in my pocket and offered it to the current reason of my smile. She grabbed it and ran away to play with her friends. But she left me contemplating how often do  we need a reson to smile? a reason to stretch our facial muscles to seat the curve cosily?

I was perhaps correct, we humans need a reason to do everything. Until and unless it is demanded our geek professors don't smile, The stubborn landlady feels charged a million bucks for a smile, the shopkeeper finds it tough to sell his smile to his customers paying off. Isn't it disheartening that people search for reasons to make themselves happy. They are seldomly ready to help others but when it comes to themselves then too it seems a herculean task for them. Irony of the hour!!!

Smile is that little word with five alphabets which makes all our five senses vigil simultaneously. 
I myself leave no chance to make others smile and make them join my "HAPPY CLUB". It's said so true - Smile for no reason and gradually it becomes your habit. To live this gifted life to its best is our sole right so why to miss a chance??

 I smile for you

You smile for me

We all smile for us

Making this world

A smiling place to live in.

 :) :) :)

THE WICKED CHARM

The delicate newbie
Made the advent
Togged in frilled white
Casted a spell in trice
Peeping through under the pile
Of clothes bloating over her
Took her as immaculate naive
Hankered her as a protagonist
Eclectic rapport sweeped along
Taking both amidst plethora of smiles
Moping the floor daily
Feeding with good tongue
Became the new duo-visage
Sharing all blues and greys
Got fastened through limelight
But the light dispersed up wrong
Instead right for me
Unveiling the wicked face
Behind the fancied pose
Taking away all the best
Leaving behind the crooked worst
Snatching my yesteryear treasure
Plundered me of my never-fading smile
Plighting with a faded flower
Still hoping she will come one night
To return me my me
Wishing not in vain.

JUST FOR YOU

My biological clock ticked 6.30 and I groggily got up from my bed. Peeking at the clock, my pupil dilated.
OOPS!!! I'm late.
I groped for my cell. Scrolled to the recently dialled calls and pinged at the very first name in the list.

TRIN...TRIN...TRIN...
Hello!!
Hello!! Wish you a very very happy b'day.
OH! Thank you so much SURBHI. I was just waiting for your call. Everyone had called up in the night.
Sorry. I too tried three times but it said WAITING.. WAITING.. I couldn't resist my headache and felt asleep.
Never mind.So,how is life??

It was SHIPRA's birthday yesterday and I couldn't wish her at sharp 12. So her birthday morning started with our long vivid talk.

Its so soothing when you call up an old friend and walk down the memory lane hand-in-hand.You share up everything or say anything. Whether silly, funny,or serious, it doesn't matter but one thing is sure you badly miss the time when you were together and used to share everything from pen to lunch, from bench to book, from playground to jest. Ahh!! the unforgettable moments of school life.

She also revealed some hidden secrets. OMG! ridiculous.
Sorry! that's a secret. I can't open it up.
Then to my surprise she said, "Yaar! you write well."
I was dumbstruck for a while.I was unknown to the fact that she was aware of my new passion and was keenly interested.
I said,"How can you say so??".

You stupid! I have read each of your blogs.
Are you kidding??
No dear. I have actually read them.What if you didn't tell me. I used to read them.

Ahh!! I can't tell you my joy knew no bounds because her laudatory discourse of my writings really made me feel good.And I'm telling you she is far better,than me.I bet if she's to play with the words,she'll definitely win the coveted cap.

"But",I said,"I'm on a halt and haven't posted since last four months."
Why??
Because I think I need to flint myself some more. I'm unable to make the readers commute with me to my realm. Hardly anyone reads them as said by the poll at the top right of my profile.
Hey! But I love them. You are playing well. Don't quit.
Okay! Would you like me to write something??
Yeah! Sure, Write down about our school days,our old pals. Refresh the blurred memories.It was indeed a never-forgettable clip of our childhood.

Good idea. So now my dear you just wait and I promise to throw you back to the HZS,Chittaurgarh lane.This will be your this year's b'day gift from me.

'I would be desperately waiting for that. You really made my day. Love you.'she said.

So now begins my preparation for her gift.

Dearest SHIPRA, I have tried to sketch out the very first day of yours in our school.I believe I have exactly retraced everything settled at the back of my brain.Hope it takes you back to the field of HIND ZINC SCHOOL.


A nymph with a black band
Coupled with her brother bland
Invaded into a class reading Class-V'B'
I tickled my peer wee
We swivelled on the chair
Welcomed the pretty novice
Though baffled by her presence
A formal confluence rush
All in British English!!
Left us dumb plashed.

Whispers wafted into the air
Some sulked,others bullied
Some flouted,others clouted
Multitude slewed in green raiment
Wiggled and jiggled
I pointed to a desk beside me
Solaced her to glide in glee.

The bell rang
Everyone clanged
Mam Asha Dashora trudged in
Plethora of silence reigned in
'A new mid-session admission??'
Yes, Mam. A MADAME!!
A stern sight
Caught him fright
She greeted her under the new roof
Adviced to rush through the volumes
'You will be assisted by your new friends.'
With a spark in the eye
Mam resorted towards me and Indira
We nodded like grass standing erect
To heed her through the way right

A reticent nexus was hailing
Amidst the garrulous teaching
Days passed by
The SPS girl was now a HZS girl
Rushing through the bus in the morning
Crunching the books in noon
Strolling over the lawn in lunch
Babbling over the landline in evening
Tied us in a knot
Sighted as friends duo.

Sweltering together in summers
Shivered more in winters
A blithesome posse
Vividly gushed
Now called Grown-Ups
Still trifle at dawns
A tribute to our alma mater
To shelter our friendship under the pedagogy.

I would also like to mention the names of our old pals with whom we played together in the classroom,played pranks,had silly fights but who knew we were actually composing an innocuous album of our school days.
Indira Kanwar Chauhan
Pallavi Modani
Meenakshi Kumawat
Mohanish Borana
Arjun Menaria
Siddharth Goyal
Tridev Pratap Singh Chawda
Barkha Deera
Navani Tandon
Richa Agarwal
Gautam Bhatnagar
Ankit Soni
Arvind Kumar Dhaker
The list doesn't ends here. But these are the few chaps whom she remembers and can't stop herself narrating stories linked with each. I would have loved to pen down the provoking events( Ghatna-Durgatna :P). But something should be concealed and unveiled at right time only. Wish you all a happy life ahead.
BON VOYAGE!!!
:) :)

EXCEPT THE EXPECTED

A mother having two kids met with an accident. She and one of the children managed to survive while the other kid succumbed to the severe injuries. The mother has never expected this nightmare to ever come true but what when it surpassed into reality. She can be imagined helpless but for the sake of her second child she has to combat this odd situation. She cant put an end to her life. The wheel must roll and its her responsibility to nurture her second kid well.

I just want to exemplify that when things dont go according to our expectations, there is no point of abandoning. Instead look for alternatives. There are galore of ways waiting to be trampled by you.

EXPECTATION is something the major reason for the growing crevices in everything from workplace to relationship, from school to office , from cricket to hockey.

Have you ever pondered why do we expect?? Perhaps according to me, we expect from others when we transmigrate our capabilities into that person and see him as much potent as we are. Irrespective of the fact what the very person wants but since we have superimposed ourselves upon him so he is compelled to live upto our expectations and if he fails then he is seen as loser and cursed for not accomplishing.

The father of a student expects him to shine through and bring him the fame same as that of his colleague's son. No one bothers whether the kid is abnegating himself at the cost of his football love.

The manager expects his employee to outshine in the upcoming project like the previous one irrespective of the employee's interest in this new project.

The boy wants his girlfriend to love him exactly the same way he does unknown to the fact that she doesn't love him. And many such instances can be cited.

A few days back I came across these lines:
"People just expect from others even though they have failed in raising their own soul upto their own expectation."
I feel that every person has his own space. He should be left free with it. No other than himself should be allowed to enter that space and cause unnecessary interference. A spiritual relationship between soul and body defines that space where a man gets close to himself, sets his standards and strives to live upto those. There exist people of different perceptions. One may have a limited perspective and is happy within the walls. While the other may have a broad perspective and wants to explore the entire ocean. So it is immaterial to impose your expectations over others.
Try to live your own life in your style and let others live their way and then if any interaction occurs then that would definitely create the most beautiful kaliedoscope.:):)

VISION

Its a general tendency that we try to imitate others. We make futile efforts to embolden our image with THEIR raiment. But the truth is that each one of us is special in his own way. Had we all been alike, then how would you distinguish between your father and mother?? your friend and foe?? The whole world would just seem like a mirror, in which you would have seen just your own reflected image infinite times creating a chaos. At some point when we CHANGE ourselves according to the norms of others then it's found that at the rear end they were busy lauding our vision. So always stay the way you are. Here's a short verse to take you through MY VISION.


I perceived it as a cherry on the cake
But she said, a hat on a fat

I took it as an iridescent flash
But she said, a mere traffic signal bash

I admired it as God pouring his love
But he interrupted with showering of rain

I saw it as a mother embracing her child
But they cleared it as a pumpkin creeper over the wall

I pointed at a distant lantern
But they interpreted it as a shooting star

I took it as a credential
When they dusted it as a piece of paper

I tried to wipe away their tears
When they called it an onion cheer

I tried to trace straight
When they veered towards the steep

Now when I took their vision
They changed their perspective

Now what seems a concrete to me
Is a sacred temple for them

What seems just a sky to me
Is a way to fly through for them

What seems life to me
Is the only chance for them.

:o :o

I COULD BE....

I'd rather be a COULD-BE ,
If I can't be an ARE.

Because a COULD-BE is a MAY be,
Who is reaching for a star.

I'd rather be a HAS-BEEN,
Than a MIGHT-HAVE -BEEN, by far.

For a MIGHT-HAVE -BEEN has never been,
But a HAS BEEN was once an ARE.

BLOW TO GLOW

I'm lost
You are lost
We both are lost
Lost in the lies
Lost in the faith
Where are we lost??

Lost all the hopes
Lost all the faiths
Lost all the joys
What makes us lost??

Lost the soul
Lost the glow
I lost in some
You lost in another
Unaware of each other
We got lost in our own.

I keep getting ahead,
You never noticed 'm almost dead.
I see my dreams are gone,
You only reply with a yawn.
I get pushed back,
You never noticed the slack.
I get pushed down,
You never noticed my frown.
I fall down and crawl,
You keep walking tall.
I cried in pain,
You didn't notice in vain.

What to tell you my GOD??
I lost you in a plot.

Survive and thrive!!
This was what you told me
I swear I followed it
That's why once I shined
Once I bloomed
Once I flourished
But today I suffocate
Oh!! My LORD!!
Where are you??

Return me my smile,
Which is long viled.
Return me my life,
Just for a while.
Promise me some cheers,
And I promise you a beer.
Promise me a blue,
To which I promise to glue.

It's been so long
Longing for a beacon
I got lost in the dark
Thinking of the stars

Amidst the dark
Rose my sun
Oh!! LORD!! You got it done
A ray of hope
Found the way to my gulf.

You returned my smile,
That had been viled.
You returned my flight,
That had a plight.
You are the one
To whom I bow
You made me glow
Amidst the blow
Thank You LORD
For all I owe.

:-) :-)

FROM THE LIPS OF AN ANGEL

She is to enter this world
Hearing these words
His joy knew no bounds
Felt short of the loud
Tossing high the key
Bent down the knees
Oh! Almighty!!
Thanx for the sparkle
Promise you to sprinkle
Till my wrinkles
My love and care
Over her hair.

The fragrance of her innocence
Blew over the lane.
Freezing the air
Freezed every action
Of hers with a click
To turn up someday in a flick.

She tried to utter
He helped her
And finally "PAA"
Eyes brimmed
Embraced her
Clasped her
Stared at her
Lovely!! Exulted!! Rejoiced!!
Once more sweet heart
What a soothe!!
Once more dear..


O' my Angel
It sounds so sweet
"Coming from the lips of an Angel
Hearing those words
It makes me weak".

You are my life
You are my laugh
My wings to fly
My licks to sly
Wish we never move on
Sticking to these more and more
For now and then
You are my Angel
Promise me you 'll never move on
From the lips of yours
My Angel!!
:-)
