After your soul left your body

By -
When your soul left your body,
Everyone cried, so did I.

Your daughter won't stop crying.
It has been three days.

She won't eat or drink anything
Because you didn't.

Your wife says she has lost
her everything, now.

But, grandpa, believe me
Mother nature remained the same

She didn't care about our misery
She didn't change

Grandpa, the sun still rose,
Spring came back



The butterflies were happy
The flowers danced

The leaves took birth again
The grass was crisp and anew

Why did Mother didn't mourn
Grandpa, why?

Was it not something to cry for?
All people did.

I ponder if it really was something beautiful
Because our Mother was happy.

Was it really death, Grandpa?
Or, a new birth of yours?

Free from handcuffs of the world
A fresh chance

If not that maybe you are
With My Lord, safely!

Either way, I know you left
But with grace on your face.

I just hope Mother is right
And while everyone mourns

I hope you are happy and renewed
With the same golden heart, like none.

WHAT GOD PREACHED (A Conversation With God)

‘I believe in miracles, and God is the best one happened to me ever.’ “Go, clean  the   small temple  in  our house.”  My  dad  said,  and  I  was  off  at once!  First,  I  took out all  the  idols of  the Almighty  and  kept  them  on a glass table.  They  had  gathered  a bit  of  dust  on  them,  but  that  didn’t decrease  their   purity even  by a single  fraction.  Then, I started brushing off that dirt from  the  sculptures  with  a  clean  cloth,  one by one. I took up the smiling  diminutive  statue  of Lord   Shiva ...

Friends for Life…

17 th  June, 2014  was the exact day I was feeling  aggravated.  I  didn’t  know   wh y but I   felt  like  nothing  near  me  could  make  me   feel  better,  not money,  not my favorite  actor and  not  even  chocolates!  I was missing my friends, my four friends who make up my life. I wasn’t able to contact them that day.  When I would break down, they would pick me up. Whenever I  realized  I  am  worth  nothing,  they   hid  this  simple  truth.  Whenever  I  need  to  weep,  they  give  me  their  shoulders.  When I  laugh ,...

A Battle Against The Downpour

Little, glimmering and delicate pearls were falling down from the heavens. They were ready to hit any surface and burst themselves, dividing them into multiple tinier ones. They were as soft as velvet and as desirable as the genie’s three wishes. They drenched everything in their way, and cooled down its temperature, making it calm. I went out of the dry shade I was under. The indiscriminate drops gradually soaked me in their swampy nature too. The soft shower couldn’t cool me down. It brought back memories of happiness that made me gloomier. Once it had brought smiles to me but, now as it reminded me of my grins, it took them away simultaneously.   I sat down on the fresh grassy plot, not being in a state to ponder on what other people would think of me. My eyes impersonated the clouds and departed a flow of watery drops from themselves. Tears rolled down my cheeks because of the rain that could make everything elated but me. My egressed drops blended with those of the...
