Someone I Lost

By -
I touch these awkward things. 
I bought them when I was young
But I don't remember them
As if it were of another life of mine 
I want to touch them,
I want to remember them
I want a distant memory of myself So little, buying them. And the joy on my face, So evident, even for little things Because life was simple And attachments not so strong I want to go as I came Free and oblivious to the world, And as I fail to re-cultivate All the 'values' I had as a child I look at these things As some sort of treasures From someone I lost And want to be again.

WHAT GOD PREACHED (A Conversation With God)

By -
‘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  and  started wiping it,  while I was lost in  my  thoughts.  Not a  single  good  occurrence  had taken place that  day. I  felt like   I  had  been  given  the  gift  of life which attracted to it the curse of  suffering  and  agony   like  a  magnet.  The negativity of the curse had grown  so  powerful  that  the  gratefulness and desire of life had lost before  it. A tear  spun  down  my  cheek  and landed on Lord Shiva’s statue. I was   unconscious  of

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 , they snicker.  When I merely smiled, they would  smile  from  ear  to  ear.  When I wished to pour my heart out, their ears were  ready  to  take  in every word. When I felt lonely, they  showed  me  I  am  not alone.  When I was over confident, they kept my feet on the  ground.  When I lacked self-confidence,  they  gave  me  vigor.  When I ended in trouble, I  could  see  their  foreheads   strained.  When  I  was  on the verge of  transformation  into

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 hea
