A Love Story - the true kind!!

loving words from him, our random chats and our poems....


Him: But i have a feeling whatever happens we are going to be friends forever
And even if thats how its to be, lets get married


Tomorrow maybe I will start to transform
I will give up this life, this safety, this norm
Let me be the shadow, just for tonight
Tomorrow i’ll rise a phoenix, beautiful and bright
Her: well just warning yu tht i am not the regular gorgeous
m my own garder variety exotic
Him: Yu are my kinda gorgeous

The kind i want to take into my arms and kiss forever
The one i am falling in love with
The only one i want for the rest of my life kind of gorgeous
Her: blush



Her: hmm
well baby it will last if its tht special is all i am saying tonight
Him: Dont you get it
We havnt met and are totally in love
Its special
SPECIAL
already


His love and trust liberated her
She saw a light like never before
Walked a mile together on an uncertain shore
Heard her stories and her onus bore

Hands he held but a core he touched
Welcomed her back to a world she shrugged


The previously hurt and affect, mangled
Arises stronger and permanently disentangled


All i want to say now is
I am here for you like the future, uncertain and promising but no matter what I am here and thats reality!!
I LOVE YOU

Chronicles at Work!!

Where ever I have worked I have ended up making the sweetest friends out of my collegues. It takes the pressure of deadlines and add that fun element that is so required. We all drive each other and have equal amounts of fun getting work done. Its because of this that I have never tired of work and always love getting to office on time. This and the fact that I have gchat at work (smirk). So this post is about such chronicles at work..they are random and I will refrain from naming my mates as a lotta fun is had past office rules!! :)

We have....
.....had a full fledged gand prix with hot wheel cars making ramps outta office furniture complete with tracks and running bets
.....changed clothes in the office loos and headed out partying all night
.....shopped the whole working day aways with our Vice President in tow
.....sneaked out for a full 3 hour hindi film and enjoyed each moment of the "partner in crime" feeling
.....gone home and slept like shameless pigs after a full course meal
.....sneaked in my cat tipu for a day at work and had him lounge int he file cabinet when our boss entered
.....packed our bags on a friday night and hijacked our boss to goa for the weekend
.....created a matrimonial profile with fake atrociuos data and posted it online with out his knowledge
.....taken back up of entire data and deleted everthing on the computer for them to discover it the next day
.....stolen and hidden all stapler pins, even those inside the sapler from the entire office
......set an embarassing picture as their wall paper to greet them in the morning
......changed the font colours to white on the main xls database sheet and yelled at them for deleting data
......got drenched in white shirts and run for the blazers the boys so reluntantly lent

Oh thanks to all the madness office has always been a bearable place and I have loved each and every moment of my corporate life and am hoping to for a while now.

Vagaries of an uncertain Mind

The mind is the most gorgeous place in this universe, to understand it one needs it and what could be more paradoxical. Its one part of our existence that would always remain a mystery of sorts - unpredictable, unfathomable and still understandable. Its true that over the years our minds have been tamed and tend to go through classical conditioning. Many have walked the path of exploring the human mind, the common thought process, the different reactions to the same situation, the battled of the id, the ego and the super ego, the science of nerves, the debate between the left and the right brains, the influence of psychological factors and many such parameters. 

The science behind this - intricate, the psychiatry - logical, the complete comprehension - elusive. 

Ever wonder why a portion of the population is abnormal? I consider them super normal like super man, their minds are different, their thoughts are complicated, their perception of reality far greater than our, their understanding of human emotions is advanced and their method to madness,just uncanny. They are the evolving beings, the future of humanity.

Imagination is the fuel, the medium it thrives in - it can take us to places at the blink of an eyelid, a fragrance can make you relive an emotion, a touch can transport you to a parallel universe, a conversation with a stranger can make you see reason to life and reading a prose about love can rekindle a distant warmth. Its all in the mind...the state of mind you want to be in - all you!!   

If I were to learn the working of a normal human brain I would not be bothered because its the vagaries of an uncertain mind that fascinate me.

Winds of change....

The wind of change                                                             

Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

While this song is something every other person knows n loves, right now this verse seems to mirror my emotions. Had reached a juncture in life where i just lost interest in all things happy. It seemed like grey was a colour scheme in my head and everything was in slow motion...deflated and colourless. Imagine paintitng this perfect painting and being content with every stroke and then realising that there is no life in it...everythings perfect but ice cold...i dont know if that realization hurt me more or the fact that i choose to pick up my own bucket of water and throw it on the picture. Soaking it at first, leting it drip, bleed, change colours and finally be a bloody mess.

They say what are torn fragments today would seem like a part of a bigger patch of cloth tommorrow, or something to that effect which I think i read in the Bible. Wise old men are right, what seemed like a messed up painting a year ago now seems like a stark, new n fresh canvas....which the winds of change have cleaned. I have never enjoyed holding my own paintbrush more and creating a picture, the strokes bolder and the colours more vibrant than ever. But this change didnt happen to come alone....a lot of unknow n long lost frends helped me....unseen faces....unheard voices....then said mere things that started getting me liberated!!!

The winds of change are blowing past...i hope i find strength in this to hold on and not get carried away!!

Borrowed a few words, produced a poem...

Life’s not so simple anymore The world isn’t the way it was before
While no profound thinker i claim to be
The truth is out there if you wish to see

While the Simpsons never end their run
And Yogi Bear still has his share of fun
Somehow I never made it to what i was meant to be
And I am not sure I like this new avatar that is me

Inconspicuous in the shadows I revel
A silent witness to events I cant ever tell
Soon this shadow will also be lost in the past
A new me will emerge, and this one will last

There are worlds to see and places to go
There road never ends and on goes the show
Yellow stone waits and so do the islands of Greece
Scintillating dancers and snake charmers
Magician, musicians and lion tamers

Brevity is not a virtue I hold too dear
Sagacity too I am not good at I fear
While of Illicit pleasures I steer clear
I find my comfort in chilled draught beer

Tomorrow maybe I will start to transform
I will give up this life, this safety, this norm
Let me be the shadow, just for tonight
Tomorrow i’ll rise a phoenix, beautiful and bright

Inner Strength!!


I feel so weak, so broken
Scars sit on my heart
Permanent and frozen

Pretending to be ecstatic
Bleeding inside
Emotions deep-eratic

A moment of joy
like a gust of wind
in its wake, all destroy

Has the worst passed
Should i wonder
Destiny's always masked

Yet I stand tall and fragile
Yet I cry and unconditionally smile
An inner strength so futile!!

Inspired by pictures!!

Musings from a lesser know world….

An enchanting tapestry of sentiments captured in mere moments

Gestures so subtle portraying a culture so sturdy

Embellished in metal with pride or chains of despair

Of brighter hues on the self, than consciousness of a stare

With dancing eyes she - looks, sees, complies, defies

Surrounded by the innocence of stark reality

Weathered with knowing, tempered with age

Escaping with uncertainty behind a veil of sagacity

Blending with fervor in a translating stage

…..of passing emotions so sincere!!

Confluence of the classic & the contemporary!!



Here she sat
Emptiness inside her
All blank

There he painted
In a far away world
All serene

Uncertainty clouded her
not mind but heart
All shattered


His new horizon
electric blue
All sorted

Their paths crossed unseen, unheard in retrospect
Their paths crossed deep and entwined ad hoc

Incandescence enveloped
her existence so drab
All jittery

Familiarity greeted
his flamboyant heart
All interested

Abandoning her qualms
Finding his muse
they took the plunge
All Bliss

Commitment creeped up from behind
Unaware life hit them

Romantic was she
Realist was he
All upside down

C&H time!!

Hobbes : "What do you think is the secret to happiness? Is it money, power or fame?"


Calvin : "I'd choose money. If you have enough money, you can buy fame and power. That way you'r have it all and be really happy. Happiness is being famous for your financial ability to indulge in every kind of excess."

Hobbes : "I suppose thats *one* way to define it."

Calvin : "The part I think I'd like best is crushing people who get in my way."

Strength is the ability to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands -- and then eat just one of those pieces.
