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...

Randzevous

Ankita had already finished her 1 st drink and was sitting tight   fidgeting with her tissue and fighting her random thoughts. May be she shouldn’t have reached Olypub so early. The rendezvous was at 6:00 pm and it was just 5:00 by her watch, which left her with an hour of time to be killed.   This made her nervous because no matter how hard she might tried, the thoughts   safely locked in her sub conscious seemed to just gush back to the stream of consciousness . She tried hard to concentrate on the restructuring of this heritage bar, on the crowd chilling there or on the old cashier who still sulks by the counter but with no success . A few years back, this was the only bar which permitted smoking inside the restaurant, but today Ankita could sense that people had to go out of the cozy doors for a fag. Unlike the good old days, the AC was pretty chilling. The smell of the Premium Eau di cologne mingled with the cigarettes and drinks created a charismatic aroma. Eve...
