I feel sorry for you


You stood there smiling from ear to ear
Greeted me with open arms
Adulated with those sugar topped words
My bad, I found you closest to my heart.
I kept wondering what went wrong
Seeing your swollen face, flushed with anger.
I tried to break your excruciating silence
apologized a zillion times, just to make you speak to me.
As I turned my back you were out of the camouflage
Stabbed me from behind, butchered my trust
You made a ‘Dessert’, twisting my words
And fed it to those craving ears.
I confined in you and you turned out to be
The ‘loudest  speaker’.
When I counted on you, you were too busy
Watching me fall off that cliff
You poisoned my thoughts with those fangs- your words
And I ended up messing everything up.
I blindly believe you and that’s where I failed
You interpreted my each move,
 cooked up your own stories.
But I was not taught ‘to hate’
And I can’t change for you
And I still can’t get why I feel sorry for you.

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...
