I wish i were stuck in my dream



I saw a wonderful  dream one  night
There popped up a land which was a feast for my sight.
I was strolling in a forest
At the break of dawn,
And was feeling all alone
In that world unknown.
Scarlet gems were piled up like building blocks
A stream of water then burst out, struggling with the rocks.
Landing on the lap of the earth,
It went clear and calm;
A bevy of beautiful mermaids
Towards the shore they swarm.
A pack of lions were passing  me by
As they vanished from sight I left out a sigh.
A group of giraffes,
Who held their heads high
Were conversing with eagles
Who seemed floating in the sky.
The trees were all wearing floral gowns
Dancing at the tune of the wind, wearing clouds as crowns.
Chirpy glittering birds
Who were cuddly and wee
Were roaming around
And zooming past me
I closed my eyes, sprawling on the ground
Thinking about owning this new world I found
As I opened my eyes,
I let out a scream.
But now I truly do wish
I were stuck in my dream.

What do you do?

  Have you ever wondered why you encounter  the question "what do you do?" more than "how do you do? " (Maybe an Indian thing of poking one's nose into another's life). If you are a married woman and a mother at that, you will get this question more often. I have been fiddling with this  question for so many years now until one day the realization finally dawned upon me.  It is hard to keep up with the societal standards. It is harder to meet people's expectation about you. And the hardest part is answering the million dollar question 'what do you do?'   Well, it may sound a bit vague but the real intended question here is, how is your career graph going? At this juncture, everything else in life appears secondary. So it is pointless if you try to answer the question by listing out the things that you do on a day to day basis.  It doesn't matter if you learn new things each day or are teaching and moulding the future generation. It least conc...

BFFs

Flipping the pages of my old crumbled notebook I found those scrawny jokers embellishing my crabbed hand resurrecting old memories in my mind. We were best friends; perhaps born 'besties' "Un-goggled" nerds shouting out answers From the back bench; pushed to the corner By a fatso, engulfing two third of the area -a loner. We were the princesses of our imaginary world Where we had the perfect things and were the prettiest girls. In the real world, we'd just sit whispering,with narrowed eyes and a frown. Plotting to push our neighbour down. Piles of grave secrets stuffed in our brain We grew up, but the weirdness never waned. It was the age when our brain confided in double meaning And twenty four seven we fantasized about our prince charming. We made new friends and never did we realize that we were ending up in the opposite shores Petty fights and mistakes and misunderstandings Weakened us, piercing our hearts like s...

Are we the darkness?

Are we the darkness shrouding the entire world? dragging it on with a harness; violently thrashed and hurled. What we claim to have created has been tilted and tossed, our priorities still unsorted, deadly lines we have crossed. Now we are too broke to undo the menace we have unclasped; No roads to salvation with the curses we have grasped. And we weep for ourselves  and worry for what time beholds. It's time to tidy up our shelves  and see how the next chapter unfolds.
