A Call to Self

When my interest in life wanes,
When happy and sad cease to make Sense,
When smiling is an effort,
 And crying offers no solace,
Dear hope, come to me with your grace.

When silence gets tough to bear,
When noise just mutes my fear,
When eyes stop smiling at your sight,
And heart shuts to feeling your presence,
Dear love, come to me with your cheer.


When days are lighter with no energy,
When nights are longer with no sleep,
When life is stuck in despair,
 When death offers deliverance,
Dear life come to me with your promise.

When the cage feels tough to break,
When the troubles are no little hills,
When I question my usefulness,
And doubt my dreams,
Dear self, come to me like a baby.
Let's grow up. Yet again!

A love story or a breakup story?

Some stories are so strange. Neither a common man nor can an expert judge those stories easily. This is one such story for me. Planned to be a plain one without twists and turns.

The feeling of love and the desire to live together was getting strong in the girl. She is a girl of dreams and ambitions. Her ability to imagine things overshadowed her understanding of reality. She loved the boy truly, sincerely, not the real one but the one in her imagi

A Beautiful Evening

Your touch sparked a wave of memories in my head. All the noise, the noise of expectations, problems, and challenges, the noise of  agony, rejection, and failure got silenced. I was deafened to them. All I wanted was to be in you, consuming the warmth of your hug. Amid all of this, you grabbed me towards you, I was lost in diffidence! That soft touch of you, reminded me of the awesomeness of my smile, long lost! It reminded me of the innocent self that I were, aiming at the Everest, still happily hopping at the river side. It reminded me of the child I were, crying out loud when in pain, laughing out louder when in joy. I began to wonder, when did I lose myself in this babel. Amid all of this, You grabbed me towards you, I was lost in diffidence! It was a beautiful evening, up on the hill, calm and serene. The composure of the lake reminded me of the beauty of silence, that my soul yearned for. I missed out on looking at the colourful birds perching on the tr
