the last note of melody

It was time for him to let go of her, of the soul who always came to his aid when he alone did suffer, he reminisced of how she entered his life as an answer to his prayer of how proud a dad he was,when he saw that she was no quitter but a trier she spelled joy to him when after a long day she came running into his big arms she weighed so light sitting on his broad shoulders of responsibility as they traveled through huge farms the adamant li'l girl,it was only to his words that she always had heeded, they bonded in the twilight of silence and spoke only when words were needed now he tried hard to make his tears go unnoticed but given his light blue eyes,they wouldnt let that happen, and so he sat there alone,digging old memories, making his feelings re open he regretted the days when he upset her by not answering her questions timely, he wished he could show her of all the days he stood there,caring silently he wondered if that tough outer shell was even worth it just be...

the girl who lived down the lane

Image
She took the mighty pen in her delicate hands passing it between her fingers. Her eyes gazed upon the distant moon as her brain mills were working at lightning speed. In her unconscious state of mind she kept travelling the perimeter of her soft lips with the tip of her pen. It was hard for her to decide if words were to her, lust or love ? Chancing upon new ideas were orgasmic to her, while penning them down was pure joy. The smell of books aroused feelings in her than  a man with his body drowned in perfume. She was the girl unknown to the world,unnoticed by the world , unrecognized by people who only recognized that face given to her outer body. She was the mystery unsolved, the love child of ideas,letters,words and punctuation s .. a place where she belonged.

Should I take to praying ? Or embrace my inner demons ? should I try conceiving my inner peace, which is absent..? Or give voice to the anger rising in bright red fumes? Should I blindfold my eyes which have long stopped looking out for help ? Or give another chance to foresight which always was right in predicting my dark future? should I chase pavements in search of happiness? Or consider accepting glum as my destiny? Should I reflect on my failures and cry out ? or use the bigger picture  to fool myself out of it? Should I try making my own path on foreign grass? or keep wandering aimlessly in this known barren land ? Should I let my mask to do the talking for me ? or let my inner self hide me forever ? Should I force myself with happy thoughts? or let these frustrations engulf me ? Should I portray myself as great by trying to put up a brave front ? or go unnoticed comfortably by breaking down ? Should I try so hard to fit in ?...

Have you ever raised your head while travelling to see who your co-passenger on this journey is ? Have you ever taken a minute to smile at a stranger on the road instead ?? [I know its too much to ask for, in a place like India where the road is filled with harum-scarum s who would wait for that one smile from you to go overboard with you !!] Have you ever wondered why you meet certain people at certain points of your life and how it is that you were destined to meet them alone out of the zillion others in this world ?? Have you realized that each passer-by is living a life as vivid as yours, as or more complex and interesting as you think your life is ,surrounded by a set of people that were chosen only to be part of his life and not yours ! Have you realized that in spite of  it all you are still connected to each one in this planet through nested chains and stronger connections ,some invisible perhaps for future activation ? Have you understood the simple fact that at...

Its the age of dating, one-night stands and what not all !! I read 12 year olds are depressed that they got dumped by their boyfriends/girlfriends ! I see bikinis in the kids section now . I mean don't li'l girls like wearing those frilly frocks with apples, flowers or teddy bears on it anymore ??  Well I guess even teddy bears are no longer cute ! ( what with Miley Cyrus losing her nuts, twerking and permanently damaging the very symbolism that teddy bears stood for in the classic story of ' Goldilocks ' ). Leaving even that apart , can somebody tell them that dresses and looks aren't what is going to define them later ! [And yes I cannot help but end my sentences in exclamations than full stops !] The newer breed of girls have lost the very elegance, grace and dignity which was once used to define my species . As coco chanel  quotes :" A girl should be two things -classy and fabulous . " And it saddens me more that day by day they are l...

oh my li'l one mommy's youngest son, how i wish to see you again, how much ever i know that now your in a place far away from any pain.... music to us was to listen to your paw steps whether you moved around slowly or came running from the stairs, our happiness was linked to how fast your tail wagged you,my precious ,were the biggest prize that in our life we had bagged ! your kind of unconditional love ,not all can understand but few we are so lost in search of that love, bcause our whole world centered around you we now live in a world of blacks and whites ,devoid of any hue we wonder if you miss us there as much as we do..... sometimes we feel so desperate to hug you as tight as we can, tears flow in our eyes when we remember of the days ,where throughout the house, you ran we try consoling ourselves talking to the imaginary you our chests writhe in pain to think that we couldn't repay your love that will always remain due... now when we think of it ...

The time I heard those anklets tinkle ..

1804 - Morning we saw the exuberance of the sun and nights the calmness of the full moon for there was no electricity in my world then, to disturb the intensity of the moon's illuminance. I lived alone in a 5 sqmtr. shoddy house ,in my imaginative world , my art world on the look out for a new beauty to catch my attention .For then I would write flowing lines of poetry ,paint with such sensitiveness that I never knew resided in me . From morning to night I would sit watching through my window staring into emptiness and when a whiff of air made the curtains caress my face I almost surrendered to defeat. But that night was special for it was heavily raining and there was a strange luminous effect which made my windows appear foggy. There was some kind of chaos in my mind or maybe it was in my heart.I felt restless. And then for the first time I heard her anklets tinkle ... So melodious that I wanted to keep hearing it forever ,I could not see her ,only her silhouette...
