looks, of the millions down.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was radiant, he was glorious,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was out wandering amongst the desert sands.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He kissed the sunflower fields all day long,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And guided the nomads

There was a certain kind of calmness about her.</div>

Her night time liaisons were many,</div>

For she was the Casanova at night.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet, she yearned for love so pure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The stars spoke of the mighty knight of the day-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To be her’s to lure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He lived his life selfless; yet alone</div>

Whispered the passing clouds,</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until one early dawn,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When he was drowning at the horizon-</div>

They glanced at each other.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It wasn’t too long</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sweetened by the early bird’s song.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From that day on so,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They chased one another.</div>

Through ages and spaces </div>

It wasn’t destined to be- they said</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The tides lashed up the sands,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The brook swept off the shores.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despair turned to angst,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And hope to love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She heard no more,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She wanted it out</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She glided to her soul-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And stood in front of him,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naked and in love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The earth was blacked out</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>
</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It witnessed the surreal moment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She basked his magnificence and radiance,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And he drank in her beauty and love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They stood there staring,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Each into the other’s soul.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His radiance filled out her despair,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her love blotted out his temper.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They bathed in awe of each other</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until he moved,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And there was nothingness.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She was left with vacuum and void.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But she shone now,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With the radiance of his love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For she dreamt of a dream </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-That one which lingers </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She dreamt of a dream </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That love was real</div>

And that- a beauty by itself.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">She walked down the long corridor of the 3<sup>rd</sup> floor
of the company in a three inch heels. The sound of her heel echoed against the
hard marble flooring of the otherwise silent finance department, forcing the
accountants to lift their heads up from their workstation and smile at her. She
steered her way down in grace, returning the kind smiles of all, not sparing
the office boy even, till she reached the last cubicle on the left far corner
of the hall. She turned, and entered with a smile and confidence that would
quite put the aspiring Ms.Whatever-beauty-pageants to shame. She was medium
built, dusky, with jet black hair curling a little after her waist. She isn’t
the beauty you would compare with someone appearing on you tv screen, but there
was something about her, about the genuineness of her smile, the warmth in her
greetings, and the calmness in her eyes that allured you to her.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In the next fifteen minutes with nothing more than a few
pleasantries, professional aspects, and fewer personal details exchanged, the
awkward silence further lengthened the mere gap of two desktops and
a couple of rusty files. One single question, “so, do you read any books?
Something other than these CA books, something for leisure?” was all it took to
start memorable conversations which lead to the blossom of a wonderful
comradeship. In a mere week, likes were discussed, people were talked about,
opinions debated, new plans made. But the universe, the wicked thing that it
is, had different plans. This amazing person, who I warmed up to so quickly,
had to move, and there I was, crammed with emotions of having to say goodbye to
yet another person I dint want to. After a poignant farewell laden with tears
and heavy hearts, I walked into a nearby coffee shop.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I sat there reflecting upon my brief, yet wonderful relationship
I shared with this particular person, I couldn’t help but wonder upon the
reason for her part in my life. She entered my life when I least expected,
bonded with me over unusual interests, and has become such an influence in my
life that she has been a catalyst for one of the biggest decisions I’ve made in
life.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

people who are innocent beyond tender, about those who are not scarred by the
negativity in life, about ones who would move mountains to help you. About
those who can love without expectation and fear, about people who not only open
their minds with you, but also share a part of their soul with you. That part
which hangs with you forever, like a horcrux, and crafts one of the shortest
friendships to mean a lifetime to you.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">By the time, there was nothing more than the extra cream from
the latte in my cup, I looked out of my reverie to the early evening traffic, I
had an epiphany. Not an instantaneous one, but one which you realize and see ,
when the tempest in your mind settles down. There are few people who stay in
your life to slap you down and show the tinted side of the human nature, while
a few walk into your life, like the mid-summer-rains, be there for just a
milli-second in the time span of your lives, but leave a mark in your heart
with their clear conscience, and unpainted thoughts, which restores your
beliefs in innocence, in love, and in magic of life. As I paid the bill out of
the coffee parlor, and exited with a grin fixed on my face, I was filled with
happiness knowing I have been lucky enough to meet at least a handful of such
people in my life, and travel with me, no matter how much distance the universe
puts in between. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A table in the rightmost corner of a
small coffee shop , with comfortable bamboo chairs, clear skies,
pleasant wind carrying the aroma of coffee beans being roasted,
amongst a few people who sat by chitchatting with their pals, some
lost in a book, and few others glued to their laptop screens with
their headphones on, and one who sat a little uncomfortable, fingers
drumming on the wooden table, glancing nervously at the entrance,
and eyes flicking back to the face of the watch every five minutes in
the rightmost corner. She was fifteen minutes earlier than planned,
and it had already been ten minutes past the agreed time. With the
minute passing, anxiety grew, with only a pinch of nervousness
imbibed. Why the anxiety? After all the wait was only for the best
friend! One who had promised to be in touch forever, one with whom
the first exhibition exhibit was shared, one who screamed her lungs
out to run only a little bit faster to win gold in those sports days,
one with whom the tears of farewell were shed in the airport, and
with the one “forever friends” was promised. But it had been four
years, save for the birthday and other festival wishes, and the likes
and shares on Facebook, there was no contact. They had been busy,
they said to their sorry souls, only to convince that all knowing
heart, that there could still be a chance we were right.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
In the moments that passed, life
re-winded, and many memories played, and the whole fact that there
were so many people who were promised “forever in touch” were
forgotten, and this sent an unsettling thought into the head. Why
were people ,who once seemed around whom, the world revolved suddenly
become nothing more than a count on the number of friends you have?
How is that, when you couldn't pass a minute without that one, become
the reason for so much anxiety in a relaxed coffee shop?
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The fact is, the ephemerality of life
is the law of nature. There is nothing in life which is permanent and
to stay. The rainbow always vanishes after the rain. In life, we are
meant to meet, and we do so too, people who promise things which are
not in their hands, some who do so, because at that moment, nothing
else is more important. Some who come into our lives so abruptly, and
apparently without any reason, and some who are slowly introduced in
our lives, who crawl inside to establish their place in your lives,
and leave their marks so deep and clear. And yet life moves on, and
you move on, promises of “forever” are always made, and they are
more often than not broken too.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The gates opened and she entered,
carrying a chocolate in her hands, with the same anxiety and a pinch
of nervousness mirrored in her face, she scanned the floor only once,
when she spotted the table to the rightmost corner of the coffee shop,
there i was, feeling anxitement, and in the moments it took for her
to walk to me, i realized ,i understood, and i knew, that i would go
through this process of impermanence a hundred times if it meant
looking at this person you knew would make you feel this level of
happiness , that which cannot be put into simple words, that only
which can be felt by someone who shares the same happiness, and
someone who believes in the wicked games the universe plays with you,
only to give you this moment- this moment of immense of happiness,
that you are quite radiating with it and enclosing all around you in
that happy bubble of yours.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I want to make peace with the idea of
impermanence, of the flow of people in and out of my life, and accept
my existence for what is really means, and enjoy these moments,this
uncertainty and impermanence presents. And as the cliche goes, nothing
in life, save you, is permanent.
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
And she hugged her old dear friend so
tight, and as she remembered to bend down to my five feet figure to
hug me tighter, it almost came naturally to me to stand on my tippy
toes. She lifeted the chocolate, and all she had to say was “for
old times sake” ...... :D</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dearest Indians,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The recent front page news got me thinking for a long time. And
I just began to wonder:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You stayed silent when the boy’s side of a family demand lump
sum amounts as dowry</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You were okay when the mothers in the family were treated
like inferiors,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You had no problem with drunkards beating their wives up,
you called it normal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You had no problem when college students sat on the compound
whistling and hooting at every passing woman. You went ahead to call it adolescence
and hormone rage!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You hardly raised your voice against millions of those
little girls who are killed even before they got a chance to see day light, and
some more who were thrown and got ridden of in one of those numerous unused
dustbins of the cities.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You dint seem to mind too much when there is discrimination shown
in the pay cheque just because of her sex,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You dint really come forward and help a girl who was forced
to get married against her wishes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You don’t mind when a son could come home after 9, while the
daughter was expected to be back by 5!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You really don’t seem to be seeing how a woman’s voice is
subdued in any family discussions by those of her male counterparts</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You seem to conveniently overlook the numerous cases of custody
rapes and other likewise military gang rapes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You don’t seem to respond to people who call themselves
moral police and do nothing but try curbing the little freedom this country
offers,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You don’t want to utter a single syllable about how a man
always likes to earn a higher salary than that of his wife or sister! Don’t get
me even started over how you enjoy and tap your feet to songs calling women chikini chameli, halkuts jawanis and badnam munni!<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Oh India....you have finally awoken and suddenly have manned up all because of one woman who was brutally raped??? Are you trying to, as usual forget the hundreds of women whose lives are miserable thanks to your insensitivity to the matter! Furthermore you go ahead to tell these wounded women that it was their fault that they dressed in a particular way which gives rise to these rapes.. well like the women today are any safer draping a saree!</span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.25pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.65pt;">
<br />
<div style="margin: 6.25pt 0cm 0cm;">
This protest would hopefully see some justice for the one lady who just lost her life. But what about the millions of other women in this country?</div>
<div style="margin: 6.25pt 0cm 0cm;">
The Delhi police have taken measures for increasing the safety for women in Delhi, what do the women in other parts of the country do?</div>
<div style="margin: 6.25pt 0cm 0cm;">
You can have any number of candle light protests or you can continue to throw stones at our government and lament, but wake up to reality, is this what is going to help us?</div>
<div style="margin: 6.25pt 0cm 0cm;">
As a woman of this country, I am not asking the men to give me their shoulder, but I'm here trying hard to stand on my own. All we are asking for is the freedom to be as independent as the opposite sex. Not their empathy nor sympathy! It’s when we get to hold hands as equals can we abolish more such autocracies. It’s not new, we did it with sathi, with child marriages and many more, why not this?? </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">Its that time of the year everyone sports a talk on the national budget, and here it is this year.,I tried to grasp as much as possible from all the news channels and papers ending up even more confused! Being the extra talkative person that I am, while on the rickshaw traveling back to my hostel, I started a SMART conversation wid the driver. All I asked was “bhaisab, howz the budget doing for u??”… well, he gave me such a admonished look, it scared me quite a bit. But well, he then gave me a small talk on his view of the budget, one which helped me understand the whole crux of the effect of the budget on my life within 5 minutes.</div><div class="MsoNormal">He started with his rattling about how the price per barrel of crude oil has increased, I wasn’t paying much attention until he mentioned that the minimum fare of auto will be Rs.24 in a few days! Tht would mean an extra Rs.7 per every ride, that would mean an increase of Rs.210 in a month!!! I understood my railway ticket is also going to see a rise, which would mean another increase of Rs.400 minimum in my expenditure.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Now frankly speaking, for a girl like me, any change in the VAT or CENVAT is of least bit importance, but, auto anna to rescue, he gently explained that “ behanji, <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">ur</st1:place></st1:city> cosmetic price is going to increase”. Now, my mind started its mental calculations. My monthly cosmetics plus tax etc etc would now add up to an increased gross amount of Rs.500! its time I stopped using the liner, mascara, blush and others! </div><div class="MsoNormal">After all this while my mind wandering on how to cut costs so that I could sustain myself with my monthly refills, my vary eyes rested upon the meter. My heart stopped at once. It read Rs.65!!! seeing my petrified face, auto anna with a diabolic grin said “ pranab dha has increased all the prices, question him, not me! I’m just the aam adhmi!” for the love of all the “aaam adhmis in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region>, do those financial giants even think of students?? Ponder over!!!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

She was safe<br />
<br />
<br />
Was comfortable,<br />
<br />
She was waund around<br />
<br />
In her own safe cocoon.<br />
<br />
But there came a time <br />
<br />
She had to struggle;<br />
<br />
She had to out wriggle.<br />
<br />
Bit,by bit, her world tore apart<br />
<br />
And her new life begun .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
She was’nt confined,<br />
<br />
Nor was she bind.<br />
<br />
She had beau wings, <br />
<br />
Red blue green and yellow<br />
<br />
Enjoyed she did,<br />
<br />
The freedom -the exhilaration .<br />
<br />
The fragrance of scented flowers,<br />
<br />
The ever twinkling night starts .<br />
<br />
The blue sky and green grass..<br />
<br />
The new life- she wanted it all. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoyed she did<br />
<br />
Until there came a day,<br />
<br />
The wind blew too hard <br />
<br />
The climate around worsened<br />
<br />
The flowers dried, leaves crumpled<br />
<br />
Clouds turned dark,<br />
<br />
Grey and hard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Wounded she was ,<br />
<br />
Her wings tattered<br />
<br />
Struggled, to resurface<br />
<br />
To fly, <br />
<br />
Failed and robbed of all <br />
<br />
Her glory, happiness, and freedom<br />
<br />
Returned she did,<br />
<br />
To her home.<br />
<br />
The old sound dint enthrall <br />
<br />
The old hold comfort not<br />
<br />
The old she, dint return <br />
<br />
She fought,<br />
<br />
But with a void of nothingness.<br />
<br />
And so she left,<br />
<br />
To her grave, <br />
<br />
Took she with her<br />
<br />
All the courage, hopes and soul!!!</div>

letting the building storm ,<br />
blow her blonde hair.<br />
higher and stronger the wind blew,<br />
stronger she felt her heart flutter.<br />
the moon shyed away<br />
she watched-the clock ticked,time flew.<br />
the leaves rustled<br />
the lighting struck<br />
A reason unknown kept her mind sprinting,<br />
the pain,<br />
unbearable.<br />
<br />
her blue eyes stared<br />
at the dark night ahead<br />
there was thunder,<br />
both inside and out<br />
but her heart felt so heavy,<br />
thunder inside won.<br />
like the dark cloud before a rain<br />
filled with rage.<br />
<br />
and then a sudden gush<br />
the thunder roared,<br />
it rained.<br />
her cheeks got wet<br />
both of tears and rain<br />
her hair was tangled<br />
and so was her feelings<br />
<br />
she sat in between many<br />
yet felt so lonely<br />
she had all her choices<br />
yet felt so empty<br />
<br />
drenched and wet<br />
sat she there reasoning<br />
suddenly , the storm stopped<br />
the wind slowed<br />
the tides lashed<br />
the moon rose<br />
<br />
her eyes swollen closed<br />
mustered all her courage,she<br />
shut her mind,<br />
controlled herself,rather pushed<br />
n off she drifted to a paradise,<br />
where she was a little princess to no one<br />
and ruled a never land<br />
and then.... she smiled!!!</span></span></span></div></span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02155520199705975489noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889146266430065476.post-32593878088390254112010-05-19T04:09:00.000-07:002010-05-19T04:09:12.000-07:00I SHALL KISS DEATH WHEN…..<div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>I shall kiss the earth goodbye<br />

You are what you make of yourself. You hold the key as well, as the lock to your life. The key acting as a positive element helping you to overcome the obstacles, And problems which come your way trying to make it complicated <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">To achieve them, like a lock keeping you from entering the room.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Now the choice of striving to find the key to triumph over the obstacle, which would lead you to happiness and finally a worth living life, or to just leave the lost key unfound and live a life of regrets and sadness, is the choice which has to be made.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> A little incident from which I changed to being pretty much of an optimist goes this way. I got a chance to fulfill my dream of participating in some international debate comp. and I left for the preliminary selection rounds which I cleared in straight strides. But there I faced a problem, I was 1 month short of the required minimum age to participate in the finals!!. I knew then my chance to the finals were weak and lost all ma confidence. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> The teacher who accompanied me had just finished reading the book “The secret” which deals with the same subject of positive thinking and told me to try it. I was in a condition if she would have told to jump out of a running bus so as to get the chance to go to the finals, then I would have done so!..<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> And so I began my positive thinking exercise. Whenever the thought of me not traveling to the finals entered my mind I substituted the thought immediately and consciously, To that of me boarding my flight. The days prolonged and there was no news from the higher authorities. Suddenly one day I got a call n god answered my prayers!...i was going to the finals!. they accepted me ignoring their policies!!. So then my preps started and I was packed n ready to board my flight!... I went to the airport an hour and half early! But to my bad luck, a thick headed officer closed the counter before hand (I haven’t forgiven him yet for it!!.).. and I missed my flight. I had a connecting flight from the next city within 4 hrs n I cld not afford to miss that flight as the next flight from my city was after 2 hrs!...that would give me nothing more than 5 minutes to catch my connecting flight and that which was impossible to do. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Again I began to push away the negative thought of me not reaching the destination. Well, guess what, a person working for the air lines whom I kno thankfully,pulled some strings for me, and I just made it to the flight at exactly the right time!...
