A Girl Like Me

Her thoughts are not in her control,
Words don't come to her naturally,
Sadness is something she can't carry with herself for long,
Fear just doesn't want to leave her.


She cries when she is happy,
She cries when is angry,
But, tears don't come to her when her heart stoops with pain.


She loves dancing in the rain,
She fears no scorching sun,
She knows no weather lasts for long,
Yet, today the cool breeze is tearing apart her heart!


Her diary is her best friend,
Her husband is her love,
Her son is her pride,
But, what is it that's missing in her life?

My Friend Became A Mother- Part 2

Once we settled down with the coffee mugs, Nikhil happily took charge of the baby, giving us enough space to empty our hearts. Seeing me looking at her imploringly, she smirked and casually remarked, “I am loosing my sanity. It’s like I am dealing with a hurricane of very conflicting emotions! And very soon I might end up in an asylum, and suck Nikhil into it too.” “What?” I freaked out. Is it something at work? Is it Nikhil? Is it motherhood? Was Brishti your choice or a family enforced decision? You are not even 30! You could have surely waited! Don’t you have any support?….. etc. etc. Sneha patiently looked on while I blurted out my worst fears. When I stopped for breath, she handed the mug back to me. “Tina, the homecoming of this tiny life has changed everything in our life! Our priorities, our lifestyle, our schedule, our financial planning… everything that you can think off has changed. I really can’t say if it’s for the good or bad. But one thing that I do kn...

Keep up a straight face

I sometimes wonder how many more rejections are awaiting me before I can follow my dreams. I am not a born writer, but the constant rejections are making me feel that I am not worth writing a single line. Writing is no mode of escape for me; it is something I really enjoy doing. However hard I might try, my write ups do not find value in the market. Is it a sign from God that I am born to be a slave of someone else? I do not know! What I know is I cannot lose hope. Each one of us is a born fighter and I will have to fight if I want to succeed. I will rise up and look straight into the eyes of failure if I want to succeed. One moment I motivate myself but the very next moment I feel so burden and lost. The mind plays weird games with me. I know nothing comes easy. In the current scenario, easy success would have been sticking to my current organization and finding ways of success here. But, like always I have chosen to unravel a different path. A path not excavated by me ever earl...
