The Bitch Is Back...

Gone is the coyness...

Calculative is the smile...

Stone cold eyes...

Piercing into mine...

All set to slay...

Searching for a prey...

Sipping her Sherry...

Scheming how to make merry...

Lean and extremely mean...

Zealously demeans...

Devoid of emotions...

Others' trials n tribulations....

Give her satisfaction...

Loves to belittle...

Cares very little...

Allures, corrupts...

Her aura perturbs...

She woos,she plays...

The ones at her mercy mold like clay...

Empathy is what she lacks...

The Bitch is back...

Doc & I....

Doc & I have known each other for the last twenty years. Aspiring to be the life saviours, at that tender age, we had set out together not knowing that soon we would become an integral part of each other's lives. 

Passion for certain outdoor games brought us even closer. Certain years down the lane, her resolve to become an integral part of the Indian Medical Fraternity still remained intact while I had some different plans. I moved into the commerce stream and that is when our testing times began.

We didnt realise the impact of this academic seperation up until next year. When the entire school was waiting to welcome her as the new Head Girl, they were in for a surprise - I was sworned in as the new Head Girl.

A strain had appeared and I feared- This is it! This is where our frienshdip, nurtured for over 10 years, would end. The next few days were dark and gloomy. Even a thin streak of hope was  nowhere to be seen.

But something else was planned for us. A letter arrived. Doc had written that letter.  She shared the angst and uncertainity that she had experienced in the last few days. She also shared her decision that she'll not let this episode impact our friendship. The dark clouds had vanished.

Over the years, she accepted my inability to regularly stay in touch and I accepted the fact that I must make an effort to reach out to her more often. Thus, our companionship moulded in a comfortable pattern that kept us connected.

Doc! Today when you are all set to embark upon a journey. A journey that will take you to a whole new world. A world where a new life, a companion  is waiting for you.  All I want to say is -

" May God Bless You with abundance, happiness and lots of love. I would always be by your side. Ours is a companionship of lifetime and won't let anything alter that".

Congratulations !!

Some One Stole My Dream...

The sprinter who came second...

Loosing out by just one mili-second...

The beautifully beaded pearl necklace...

That broke when it slipped from the terrace...

On the brink of tying the nuptial...

The union was called off...

The candy hidden in the freezer ...

That could not be savored lazily, later...

The two marks that he missed out...

Helped the other one, stand out...

Years old friendship...

In a minute...gone sour...

The lonely wailing cub....

Contemplating to search the missing one, who had nurtured...

The promotion she was hoping for...

Snatched away by someone, to settle a score...

There are so many heartaches...

Which ones to be shared, which ones to be kept in the cashe...

Life has to go on...

But it is us standing adamantly, not willing to move on...

The only one question that makes my cry...

Some one stole my dream....but why?

Scorching Clouds...

The scorching land...

Glances up at the pregnant clouds...

The parched patch...

Raises a plea out loud...

O beholder of vapor...

What have I done...

Why do you avert your gaze...

Why do you desist me for the wrong ... I have not done...

Look me in my eyes...

Confront me upfront...

I want to know why...

The savage in you ....wants to keep me dry...

With a lightening, resembling a smile...

And the pitch, not so high ...

A tiny tear streaming down its eyes..

The beholder of vapor, cried...

My dearest terrene....my lovely countryside...

I have nothing against you, I have nothing to hide...

Its the mortal who rules upon you...

He is the one who brought upon this plight...

He who has plundered you...

He who has murdered you...

He is the one...

Who has desiccated my reservoir...

I am so helpless...I want to cry...

It breaks my heart...to see you dry...

Lets come together and pray for refuge...

Almighty is so great, we won't be refused...

Lets pray for enlightenment...

Let us pray...that the mortal be disciplined...

Lets pray that he is apprised...

To play with us won't be right... 

I Take You & Your Culture...

With each Lavan Phera, with each wedding vow...

Saat Paak culminating to Subho Dristi...

Slipping the ring on his finger...

The auspicious thread around her neck... symbolizing their union..

Two steps taken towards togetherness...

Ready to embark on a new journey...

Lots left behind...

Holding on to it, for one last time...

His family welcomes her folklore...

Her family concedes to his mores...

On the brink of sharing togetherness...

He saw questions swimming in her eyes...

The troubling questions, then spill from her eyes...

He holds them, before they dry...

Together we belong to this genesis...

Together we fly...

I Take You & Your Culture.

You Take Mine...
