The girl who didn't know

She lowered her head to avoid the harsh winds

She tried to tame her wind whipped hair

Sitting on a bench, she contemplated life

She realised how remarkable each chapter was

Filled with love and amorous sentiments

She gauged at her sequestered life

Not afraid of shadows around her anymore

She rose to leave after waiting in the wings

And walked the way home alone

She wanted him to turn up today with roses

The girl didn't know it was illusory

She longed for him to surprise her again

Instead she watched the paint dry

For he was so entwined in the rigmarole

Not spotting the anticipation surrounding her

He longed for her characteristic warmth

The girl didn't know what she became into

She brushed aside the candyfloss desire

The want and yearning took a backseat

She realized she has become ‘the woman’

And started to rub his hair lovingly

The joys of beginnings : Happy New Year

I have begun this year with a reflective and contemplative mood. This year, unlike the all past years has started moderately without the hullabaloos and uproar of parties or revelries.

After coming back from work on 31st, I wasn’t very keen on going anywhere. Guess I have become one hell of a lazy bum. V said he will like to do what I wished to do since he didn’t have specific plans. For the last three years V and I have been swarming with friends G & A for a feisty New Year party at their place. Some days back G & A were blessed with a baby girl ‘M’, so she is not even a month old and I was wondering if with a little child the new year party will be a convenient idea. G & A insisted that we have our ritualistic party. So we spent the New Year with G, A, and ‘little M’. Little M delighted us with her teeny tiny yawns and super cute expressions. I realized the toothless smile is the most beautiful creation of God. I was sated.

It has been a gentle and mellow start to what promises to be a very special year for V and I. We are hopeful, happy, content and really looking forward to amazing times ahead! I wish you unlimited joy and happiness too. Wish all of you a very Happy New Year.

The night has begun 

A December red star shined and vanished,

In the silent tide wave of a blue ocean,

A January pure love emerged and waved,

Mid summer madness

And the wind blows again 

Some more drops fall 

 And the wind beckons

 My coral made bones 

 Nestles my frame in hug 

 Absorbs my conscience 

 

And the wind blows again

 Flitting the leaves hard 

 Pebbles shine as the rays fall

 Tessellating the road 

 It addled my brains 

 And I stood in a frail frame
