“Aww, honey, you look ravishing in this picture!” – said the comment notification on facebook for her photo followed by three hearts and kissing emoticons.

“You are so sweet, my love!” – she replied after liking her husband’s comment.

“You two are adorable, so much love!” – said another comment from a mutual friend.

Mindlessly, she liked that comment too. The farce of perfect couple and their perfect love fooling their friends and family and themselves; deception at its best, she thought nonchalantly.

Tara read for the umpteenth time that night what she wrote on the white paper in front of her carelessly fiddling with her pen. “GoodBye”, it read. Goodbye to all sorrows and failures and hopes that failed to keep its promises, she thought miserably.

Just then she caught the glimpse of morning sun up from its slumber spreading its warm rays all over. A smile appeared on her face as she made the paper into a ball and tossed it into the bin and reached for her camera.

a little girl I was,

waiting all along for my time to be the grown up,

to enjoy, the lusts and lures of the world,

all by myself.

to let go of my intimidations,

and get in touch with my passions.

the wait stayed long,

beside me as a protective warrior.

time took its own time,

never finding a way to reach me.

I stood where I was

a little girl, I’m no more,

but my wait for my own time,

turned into a never ending one.

I wonder, how am I not a little girl?

where is my time to let go of my intimidations,

to enjoy the lure of my passions,

to learn to fly,

to fall and cry,

to fly and soar,

deep in the sky,

to see the world upside down,

and the world waiting for me!

A fresh start, that’s what they agreed upon after she found out about his extra marital affair. Every time he cheats on her, he showers her with more love and that was her clue. Finally, she told him that she is not going to put up with his treacheries, and he agreed with her; he gave her his word that he will put an end to the philanderings and will stay true to her.

And he is keeping his word; she knows that because there is no overflowing love, infact there is not even a drop of love which made her realize that by making him promise to stay true to her, she did wrong to both of them – an unhappy man and wife is all that remained as the by-product of that promise.

So she decided to set them both free, by letting him go and starting fresh, a much needed beginning for them!

“But, I love tea!” Riya was furious.

“Can’t you just go one day without tea?”Dan wasn’t in his pleasant self either.

“You know, I don’t drink coffee, Dan.”
“Why you are getting so upset over tea!” Exclaimed an irritated Dan. Then he spotted tears welling up Riya’s eyes. “Don’t cry. I get it, you and tea has some connection that I can’t possibly understand. I will stock up our pantry with tea for eternity.” As Riya smiled through tears, he was still confused.

Miles away Riya’s twin sister, whose existence she wasn’t aware of, was savoring a cup of tea.

Caught in the frost,
The flower froze.
So did the time,
Froze in the cold.

Sprinkles of snow,
Brightened the space,
Aloof was the aura,
And the spirits, dampened.

Fragments of mist,
bond together in the chill.
Wrapped in fog,
Ahead and beyond.

Dreams, desired the warmth,
Hope, flare up from within,
Little more to go,
And will kiss the sun,
Where the frost was once!

Listening to the Rain..

The rain hummed her favorite lullaby
As I craddled on the bed,
Listening to her voice..

And the rain sang the lullaby,
As the night crawled in
And I nuzzled with your thoughts..

And the voice grew feeble
As I slipped into sleep
And the rain sang the lullaby..

In the numbing cold,
I wandered, shivering.
The rays of the sun, unseen
Despair clouded my heart,
Like the foggy morning.
And a touch calmed me, your touch,
Warming my heart,
Soothing my thoughts,
The touch I craved for!

Sharon kept checking her watch. The needles moved at their own pace unaware of her irritation.
And then they got together at 12.
As she rose from her bed with the widest smile ever they sang outside her door,” Happy Birthday to you.” Her smile got broader as she received the birthday present, her first car, for her 16th birthday.

Who Are You?

The question stared at me,

Mocking me,

I thought – Because I was unsure of the answer!

The journey so far taught me a lot,

about life,

about hopes and despairs,

about wishes and dreams,

about making it worth,

And I saw glimpses of me behind every lesson,

Some of those made me better,

Some of those torn me bitter,

Some of those made me smile through tears,

Some of those made me content.

And I answer the question,

Who are you? –  I am who I am,

A disciple of life, no more, no less!
