Nature's fury


It was raining heavily and the atmosphere outside was grey, just like how he was feeling. He had just heard the words that he had dreaded the most. The last 12 hours had turned his world upside - down. He was soaked with perspiration with all the running about he had done. He did not even have the time to change his clothes before he rushed his wife to hospital.

Looking back he realized it was not even 24 hours since he had seen her radiant with happiness. It was their first wedding anniversary and like any typical husband who was madly in love with his wife he wanted to do something very special for her. He had racked his brains for the last 2 months planning out every single detail for their special day. He had called up her friends at odd hours asking for help from their end, in turn being cursed for having disturbed them. He had planned the most special day for her and she had absolutely loved being pampered from the beginning of their special day.

Games people play

She had seen him through the fence that was separating the play area from the common area.

She could clearly remember he was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans. He was about 25 years old. He had carried a pink teddy bear in his hands. The moment she had set her eyes on it, she had decided that she wanted it. It was one of the most beautiful one that she had ever seen. She had dragged her father along with her, running behind that guy just to make sure that she could have the teddy bear, take it home and play with it, show it around to her friends and make them feel jealous.

Colours.....

Image Source
I wish I had more colours with me
All I have is black and shades of grey
I would have painted the most beautiful picture
Allowing my thoughts to stray

I would have depicted love through a mother’s eyes,
Aloneness through a lover’s byes
Deceit through a fiend’s vice
And pain through a baby’s cries

But you know that I would fill the world with rainbows
Taking the glory away from you
This is why you have given me just No’s
Every time I ask a favor of you

But there would be a time, when you realize what I am
For I know you would walk me through the sands of time


*Pardon my immaturity at this amateur attempt of poetry. Hope to improve with time! :)

It hurts............. but do 'You' realise that it does???

Given the kind of human beings we are, one of the things that would hurt us the most is Differentiation!

Having known that do we stop others from doing it to us? No! Do we stop ourselves from doing it to others? No! Yet, if there's something that hurts us the maximum its differentiation! And its probably the most widely used tool too - the Power to differentiate!

My sorrow is not for sale

My sorrow is not for sale,
Nor for exhibition.
Yet I end up auctioning my tears
The devil bids the highest.



Guess I'm the one who's most familiar with this. My only hope would be to wish that the devil is actually an angel in the guise of a devil

Give me some sunshine give me some rain, give me another chance to grow up once again……….

Of late there’s this strange sense of loneliness that’s creeping into me. I’m feeling myself drawn into a black hole with no way out. It like walking in a dark room with no support, or like somebody’s blindfolded me and let me loose in a place which I’ve no clue about. Finding myself alone amidst a crowd of strangers is understandable. But I seem to be finding myself alone even among known people. I’m lost in my own thoughts when everybody around me is discussing something important. I don’t seem to connect with them on any level. I’ve tried to reason it out with myself, and am not able to come to any substantial conclusion. What’s more disturbing is every time I contemplate about it, I’m being drawn deeper into the black hole. It’s happening from within and it’s like I’m completely shutting myself from the outer world. I’m not becoming conceited but I do feel that I’m on the verge of becoming oblivious to the world around me. I know it’s not a good sign but I don’t see any ray of light which can pull me away from this feeling of emptiness.
