• Somewhere between acquiring degrees, brooding over exams 
  • Agonizing over the trivialities…Life happened.
  • In the midst of all the chaos, the pandemonium - Life kept happening.
  • Engrossed by mere banalities, I paid no heed to its call
  • Brushed it away. Dismissed it with a flick of my hand.
  • Life tapped me on the shoulder, life landed gently on my brow. 
  • Reminding me to take note, to pause and smell the roses
  • But alas, I couldn't be bothered. I had to run, run swiftly, catch up to the invisible bus. 
  • Chasing long after it was gone, consumed in swirls of smog left in its wake.
  • Subtleties weren't my forte. Unfortunately, life hadn't a moment to spare
  • I grumbled at my inadequacies, I protested that life wasn't merry
  • But life kept happening - at its own pace, one treasure at a time, like pearls on a string
  • Unapologetically. Nonchalant to its ungracious child
  • A moment by the water fountain, a smirk from that crush she'd been waiting on
  • A best friend's lazy smile, a patient's sincere accolade, a teacher's worthy commendation
  • A work of art that brought joy, lending a hand that softened the soul
  • A sickness that took away her inner light, an eerie thought that dimmed her beauty
  • A voice that could soothe away the torrential strife, relentless passionate debates that never died
  • A failure that changed everything, a father's caress that brought back sunshine
  • A benevolent hand nudging me forward, an omnipresent being reminding me the war's still to be won
  • Life had happened. Life was happening. And I was the star. Yet I claimed to be the slave. 
  • How wretched, murmured Life in my face.

Advance Mother's Day Wishes

MOTHER:  " A  mother  is a  biological  and/or  social   female   parent  of an offspring. Because of the complexity and differences of the social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to define a mother in a universally accepted definition." - As given by Wikipedia "It is challenging to define a mother in a universally accepted definition..." You bet!!  Mom, Maa, Amma, Madre,  Mère ... "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." Its pointless for me to go on and on about how special Mothers are, or how fulfilling Mothers make our lives because anyone who has ever come across a Mother's Love know the feeling. At the risk of sounding cliche, Let me tell you that I've the best Mother in the whole wide world (yes, yes..each one to their own :D). When God made a Mother, He made her  strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet made her arms gentle enough to give comf...

Footprints that tread my Soul :)

O’ My Sweet Lover, Long is the Night Passion is the Game Entwined in love’s embrace Let this desert quench its thirst tonight Sweet whisperings of thy name, Escaped its bondage with no shame, Oh wind, I plead Let it pierce only my lover’s beat, For If not, it’ll put me to faze. Candles burn, flicker and flash, Solemn vows taken in darkness caress Songs of body, mind and soul All my gifts he gave unto me, Left me with love’s own sweet essence. With your name on my tongue, I’ll go to the other world, All their questions I'll answer with your name, The judges and saints will understand nothing, For what my heart truly seeks, I find in you. Only with you do I find understanding, The karmic bond eternal seeking a solution to my cravings, Only you truly have the answer, For you alone hold the key, To feed from the Scarlet Delight. For I am the Queen of the darkest passions, You reign as The King. -Copyright Apr 12, 2005

Pain - I Lie Dormant...

PAIN: (noun) -  physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury        - a feeling of marked discomfort in a particular part of the body        - mental suffering or distress What happens when your first love is your first heartbreak too? And I don't mean just romantic love, but any kind/form of love - between a parent and a child, sibling love, love between friends etc.  Heartbreaks are always tough, but the most toughest ones are the ones that never seem to heal. The ones that don't heal usually aren't the romantic kind (those are quite easy to get over, in my experience. Its the lifelong relationships that you can't live without, nor can you live with - parental love, sibling love etc.) In medicine, a wound thats not allowed to heal forms an ulcer which then goes onto get infected followed by necrosis, gangrene, amputation of that particular limb etc. I guess what am trying to say is that this heartbreak is somewhat like that - solution? I hardly dou...
