The tale of two rabbits




They lived a happy adorable life
Everything seemed to be perfectly alright
They were two bodies with a single soul
Everything else meant nothing at all
In the surrounding savannah they built their own world
‘the burrow it is’ that’s what they called
But the fate played a cruel game
And when it did, it was never the same.
It was death which ruined it all
Yes, it had come to suck their soul
It came into their lives like a wild tempest
The doe panicked and lost all her zest
All she could do was run, and run.
But death chased her like it was some sort of fun
She stopped and muttered ’everything’s well’
she closed her eyes, and there’s nothing more to tell.
"No! No! No! No! No! take me instead"
Begged the buck “isn’t that what you need?”
He could do nothing but yell
For it was done, the death was that cruel.
The death turned to the buck
Said “son you are in luck
You can live, love, do whatever you like
whether I take her or you, for you it’s all alike.
I know it’s miserable
For I've caused such a trouble
But I am not taking you
Even if you want to.
You’ve been ignorant, ignorant of the truth
You were wrong, for nothing in  life  goes so smooth
You say ‘good for good and bad for bad’
But that’s not how it works, yes, it’s sad.
 
The world isn’t made of love alone
Evil and hatred always come along.
Change is the rule, time sees to it
Nothing is immortal as long as I exist."

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...

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.

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...
