FOR YOU - Who cant cry Aloud



Wrote this one day while sitting in class in undergrad... I was wondering why people try to suppress their emotions and how they struggle trying to keep it all in, putting on a fake smile and a face that seems devoid o any reaction. Needed to tell them, that I was there, would help them cross the phase and maybe give them a shoulder when they needed to cry...


Wait for the sun to go down
till you see the dark I live in

As you sleep through the hours
I blink ahead- squinting my way out

I hold onto every strand
every piece that seems mine

The chance I await - I yearn for
keeps me standing as it zooms with another

Any pain that's left vanishes as I pray
for I smile through all that's thrown at me

Learnt to not fall down and hurt the heart
taught my face to live on as I go through

Like a leaf I lay afloat the screen
a journey alone looking for a place to rest

As I reached the bank I wonder
what a compromise the road has been

Every limbs' not always limp
I feel life push out through the venous network

My heart pushes out the last image of what had been
of a life I hoped I never would see again

Its not only I who gave away what I had
many out there seem sisterly to this fact

I await each one at the threshold
holding out a hand to steady as they pass

I stand here hoping you shall cross me
again only to help you turn back from leaping forward

Shall tell you many a story and give you compassion
not once deciding for you but just help stand firm...

WOMEN'S DAY - YET AGAIN

Image
So there are a million messages floating around today on how to respect the women in our lives, how each of us idolises the women we have seen as we grew older, marketing gimmicks and sales sprees in every segment - from flowers to furniture, from jewellery to kitchen appliances. This day irks me because some factions of the society go all out to “celebrate” women and another faction spearheaded by many ‘fe-male chauvinists’, not just feminists, claim that they should be respected everyday and they are asking for equality and not specialty treatment. I am also happy this day exists - it goes to show that there is atleast scope for discussion that there is a need for improvement in overall quality of life for women in general. I speak not as a women, but as a human being - not an animal that needs special rights and training. But I pose this question - should I be ‘asking’ for respect?   This day is a western thought - this statement dilutes the importance of the argument and brainw...

COVID and ME

It was the year 2020, much like every other year and was the same for everyone till it became unlike any other year. Only, it was still the same for everyone and we were all cooped up in our selves as the rulemakers made new rules by the day and the naysayers opined in empty words. I am not new to loss, joy, thrill, bereavement, elation, love, enthusiasm, anger or depression, and neither are you  which is what makes us all human and how we act upon each emotion is the thin line between sanity and madness. This time I learnt to be a better friend.

None of this happened in the wedding we had so painstakingly organised, with nothing stopping short in terms of entertainment or being unordinary. A famous person in a very famous sleeveless...

Saying Goodbye...

Wrote this more than year back, somewhere in the wee end of 2017. Farewells are never easy and every time another friend leaves, it just gets more and more difficult to say goodbye. Atleast this time the goodbye is merely physical, as only the distances have increased, but the bonds remain strong. The heart turns a heavy turn As the road ahead becomes a blur That's when I realise there's a tear Waiting to drop, will burn my cheek I fear Why this weight I do not understand This journey I wish to make backward This is how one feels at the gates I shall sit, shall yearn in quiet, I'm afraid The act of bidding adieu has never been easy Hurts even more for you, my friend As time with you hasn't been very long And my eyes wish to hold you even at the end To sit beside and tell you stories With gay abandon I wish to talk Wish distances were just numbers to do away And I be at your door at the next knock Hold onto my memories I ask For I grasp at every ...
