Had to get this one out...

In life when you meet someone
Who touches ur life even in a tiny little way
Its natural I guess to get greedy
And hope that the person will stay..

Stay around long enough to make u feel better
About life, love and maybe even ur own self
Give the hope that maybe life is not meant to be lived alone
On your own all the time, by yourself..

Simple gestures are read to mean
Whatever you want them to be
A simple act of kindness
Made out to be bigger than it possibly can be

Its not deliberate mind you
For no one wants to get hurt for sure
Its just so natural to some of us
To grab onto straws – desparate to the core

It comes apart one day
Almost catching us by surprise
Why, how - did we read it all so wrong
Our pride we easily did compromise

The funniest part about all this is that
Somewhere in our heart
We’re still keeping the hope alive
There was ‘something’ there – wasn’t all fart!!

We might move on and build our lives
Family, relationships et al
But somewhere the flame of hope
Keeps burning – sunrise and nightfall..

Not a hope to see the relation fruiten
But more for retribution to strike hard
That we were really worth loving
And the guy who let us get away – was after all – just a tard!!

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go...

Its Father's Day today...

Its quite strange that for a society like ours which thrives and survives on family values - we never had these 'days' as a part of our culture. not that it means that we dont value these relations - just that i would have loved to have more days to celebrate these lovely relations! its the same as having a birthday - its not that you dont love that person the rest of the 364 days - but that day makes him/her feel extra special!! and what's life if not a collection of these small moments of feeling 'special' to someone... so am all for all these 'days' - tho' pls i do draw a line at celebrating 'boss day'!!! :-) Anyways - back to the topic "My Daddy Strongest!!" - this line never failed to make me smile everytime i saw it on TV... Its always strange for me to describe my relation with my dad... am the youngest of 3... dad was 38 when i was born... busy struggling to keep a roof over the family's head having left his family business ...

Chauvinism rears its head again...

Maybe had just got spoilt with the lull on this front ... but when faced with an in-ur-face display of chauvinism happened, i was yet again caught by surprise! why do i keep getting surprised still after so many years, i dont know... maybe am just too slow in my head!! ;-) in my head - an educated, corporate professional who's been in existence in this current world scenario - when asked 'do your sisters work?' DOES NOT reply with an 'of course not!' in my head - the above described person DOES NOT insist on 'homely' (read : non-working) as a pre-requisite for his life-partner! in my head - the above described person is fictional!! :o) but no - with my luck - trust me to run into this person... and since i firmly believe that there's always a reason why anything happens in life... i shall aim to look for reasons here as well... 1. had to remember the lessons learnt in body language (limp handshake = limp mind and who knows limp what else!!) he he!! 2. h...
