My little miracle
He banged his head on the wall ...pushed the chair with force ...knocked down the jug of water...threw the pen stand on bed...
"Oh my god ! only a miracle can save me now !
"Why! why did I get fired ! C'mmon having frequent coffee is not a sin ! Help me God help me !
I have to pay my EMI
I have to Pay Nidhi's Insurance premium
House rent
I hope my Boss meets with and accident !
I don't want to pay my EMI !
I hope I get a great job! Now !
I hope something ...something happens to the house owner
I hope somehow I don't have to Nidhi's premium
Help ! Help me ! Take me away ! I don't want to live anymore ! I need a miracle"
He emptied the entire bottle of whiskey and flung himself on the bed. Pretty soon he was snoring away.
Next day morning he woke up with a start . The sun was already shining brightly
Did it matter ? He had nothing to do except apply for jobs the whole day .
He logged into his personal mail
He couldn't believe his eyes . There was a mail from Softtell . He remembered he has given an interview there few months back. He rejected the offer at that time as their salary didn't match his expectations . Now as per this mail they were ready to increase his salary. His was a niche skill and they were not able to find anyone else .
He immediately called their office . The HR assured him the mail was not a hoax .
"Oh my God ! Oh My God ! Thank you ! Thank you so much ! "
He prepared a cup of tea and came up to the balcony with the newspaper. "You are pumpkin pumpkin... Hello Honey Bunny " His phone started singing. He picked up the call. It was Geeta on the other end,
"Can you believe it dude !!! Can you just believe it !!!" She sounded excited.
"What is it ? " He was hardly interested in what was going on there in the office.
"Our Boss ...the villain ...he met with an accident last night ! He is in the ICU and looks like his chances of recovery is very less."
He just couldn't believe his ears . Suddenly it struck him . Was this the miracle he wanted so badly?
He kept the phone down and composed himself. He took a sip of his tea and opened the newspaper.
The headlines caught him by surprise . "All computers of MoneyBank blown up" . He read further. Hmmm... so a storm caused some power mess up and the whole system along with the records was blown up. It seemed like the next step for the bank would be to declare bankruptcy.
He felt completely shaken up. Wasit really happening? Could somebody pinch him please !
He wished he had asked for loads of money instead of all this . How he wished for another chance .
"Honey Bunny ..Honey Bunny " His phone started ringing again. Oh the Landlord. "Hello Ji " He heard his landlords cheerful voice. So his landlord was safe and sound. He let out a sigh of relief . To think it was his miracle happening! He had been really stupid!
"Beta Ji I am going to Singapore for six months. My sons wife has delivered. I don't know anything about internet and all. So you keep my rent safely with you. I will come back and collect it . Ok beta ji ? "
His hands were shaking now . "WHAT THE HELL!!!" He stared shivering. He felt a cool breeze down his spine. He felt very uneasy.
Suddenly he saw a shadow moving towards him .He felt dizzy. He could make out two horns on the shadow's head. He remembered the last wish he had made . Yama ! God of death himself had come to take him ! He felt his legs going numb . Everything around him blurred ....
He felt something cool on his face. Water ! He looked around. It was raining and the water was coming into his balcony. He got up. Looked at his mobile. My God ! He had been lying there for five hours !
Let me make some more tea. I need to clear my head and then check out if this was all a dream or reality.
He slowly walked towards the kitchen.
He took water from the tap and kept the saucepan on the gas." Uff what a day " He murmured.. He took the matchbox and lighted it . His eyes fell on the bright yellow sticky post on the fridge. A note from Nidhi . "We knew this was coming. Of late you have been totally in your world completely ignoring me.This is a good bye . I will send you the divorce papers shortly. Don't try to reach me. "
He felt like someone was banging his head with a hammer. He felt the need to splash some cold water on his face . He slowly walked towards the bathroom . He was about to turn the tap on when he realized he had just walked through the closed bathroom door.

You are mine ...only mine
Aravind looked at Bindu. How peacefully she was sleeping ... like a baby . She looked so peaceful and angelic with her silky black hair falling across her forehead. She was the picture of relaxation with her lovely hands folded up against her cheek. No it cannot be true . She was not that kind of a person. And they were now married for fifteen years . In fact next month it would be sixteen
years. She would never do that. But what about the flowers and gifts that she had suddenly started receiving ? There was never a from name or address on them.
"Its from a friend darling " she would reply sweetly. "A girl" she would add that again very sweetly.
Aravind got up from the bed. There was definitely something wrong. Even her behavior towards him had changed. She no longer asked him to accompany her for shopping. She preferred going alone. In fact the other day when he offered to drop her to office , she refused. Now days she didn't even insist him to eat extra chapati. She actually served his dinner in front of the TV and went inside to read book. She even spent most of her time on weekends browsing.
Was he going to lose her ?
It was true that as he climbed the ladder of success his family time had reduced. It had been almost five years since they went on a real holiday. Whenever they got long weekends they would rush to Kerala to meet his parents. Earlier Bindu would crib about it the whole time . But now a days she hardly mentioned the word holiday. "Was it because that guy was in Bangalore that she didn't want to go anywhere ? "
He glanced at the tiny alarm clock by their bedside. He remembered how happy Bindu was when she opened the wrapper and the alarm clock popped out with a message "keep thinking of me 24 hrs" . There was no name on the gift. "Its one of my friends from college days. We recently met on FB and this is her way of telling me to keep in touch" Bindu had explained to him. He had believed her then. But now as he held the tiny alarm in his hands , he wondered ...
And then the other day he came back home from office and the door was locked . He had tried calling Bindu , but she didn't pick up her phone. Finally she came after an hour and all she had said was " Sorry darling ... I completely forgot about the time. And by the way I didn't cook anything tonight , shall we go out for dinner ? You can pick up your call from the restaurant na ?" The ever complaining Bindu didn't say a word even though he was on phone through out the dinner.
And those beautiful flowers that were delivered at midnight on Diwali. "Someone is playing a prank on me " Bindu had replied sheepishly .
Aravind looked at Bindu again. She was smiling in her sleep. He looked again. Yes unmistakably she was smiling.
No he was not going to let some idiot take away his Bindu. Or was it too late now ? Anyway he was not going to let her go without a fight.
He took out his Blackberry and applied for a sick leave.
"Good morning honey ! " Aravind said as he kissed Bindu on her cheeks .
"Here's your masala chai to start the day ! "
"Uh ... you prepared the tea ? " asked a surprised Bindu
"Anything for you darling ...anything for you "
He switched off his mobile for the whole day. It was just him and Bindu. He felt her awkwardness at times. But he was not a man to give up so easily.
"We are going to Thailand to celebrate our sixteenth wedding anniversary" Aravind declared taking Bindu in his arms ...
"Really ? But what will your parents say"
"C'mmon ! Its our day ...Let us celebrate it together! "
The next few days flew by very quickly...Beauty parlor , shopping ...Bindu hardly got time for anything .
Finally bags were packed and they were ready to fly out the next day.
Bindu ticked the items on her list
Inform the maid
Inform the newspaper guy
Inform the milkman
"OOps I completely forgot something ! "
"What is it sweetheart ? "
"Give me a minute , I will be back. Have to inform my friend to look after the dog. "
"Why don't you just call her"
"I will be back in five minutes"
Soon Bindu was in a flower shop. She quickly selected the flower .
"Is it the same address ma'm ? " The shopkeeper asked ?
"Nope" Bindu replied and handed over the slip with address

Happy men's day (belated ) !!!
Ok most of my posts are female centric many of them trying to show men as villains ...The reason is simple ... I am a woman and I have this side which derives sadistic pleasure on seeing the discomfort of the men in my life :)
Four men (make it 2 men and 2 boys) have really touched my life
First my dad who showed me what unconditional love is . Second Hubby darling who in his silent ways always proves that he would be there for me through thick and thin. Third my son who follows me around like a lamb everywhere. Fourth my Nephew whom I really admire for his courage to face anything ...
And of course all my friends who have helped me , supported me or just been there with me when I needed them.
To all the good men out there who do make mistakes once in a while , who love their family , who fight with their wives and make it up , who are not afraid to say sorry , who break the movie promise because of urgent meeting , who buy the smaller diamond for the anniversary , who make dinner for their wives and who take their wife out for dinner to escape preparing it - the world would be really boring without you !
Happy Men's day ! Cheers !!!!!!!!!!

Prince Charming
As I close the hard bound book
of fairy tales once again
I know that you can never
be the one
How can an ugly frog
turn into a prince ?
I know there is no such thing
As happily ever after...
Snapped out of my reviere
I sigh !
As you look into my eyes
I am tempted once again
to challenge my fate !
I take a step forward and
bend down to kiss you ...

The House Fairy
You see me cleaning the scribbles on the wall
You bow and make me feel like a queen
'I am proud of you darling
You keep my house oh so clean'
I get back my lost confidence
As I look lovingly at the sparkling wall
I feel a rush of adrenaline
For it shines like a trophy above all
With a new vigor in my step
I shake up all the cushions on the sofa
As the dust fly out like demon
I feel a sense of freedom
I am surprised at my strength
I reach out for the broom
As I remove all the cobwebs
standing tall over the chair in the room
That night as I go to sleep
All my worries dumped in trash
I can't help but pat my back
I am ready now to start my life afresh
I say good bye to you
My life with you cleaned , vacuumed, washed and dried
With dignity confidence and new strength
I am ready to take on the new life with pride

Love - Beyond Good and Evil
He approached her with caution inching slowly onto the web towards his intended target.
He desired her more than any one . So many days of wanting bubbled up inside him. He gently touched her lips with his, hoping to coax her to remove her hands. He wanted to see her beautiful face... infact all of her or as much as the dimly lit room would allow.He pressed his warm body against hers. He kissed her neck as she arched her back beautifully in to him. He closed his eyes and then opened them quickly making sure he wasn't lost in a dream. His hands trailed over her curvy body, fingers exploring each soft curve. A small moan trickled from her lips
Soon he was drowning in deep waves of warm feelings.
She reached up and touched his cheek. He could feel his heart beating against hers. It felt as if it might beat out of his chest entirely.
He looked at her with triumph. Finally she was his. He owned her - Body and soul.
She looked at him with a smile . He could see the hunger in her eyes. He closed his eyes as the female black widow spider tightened her hold.
Black widow spiders are considered one of the most poisonous spiders .
It is often said that the male (usually significantly smaller than the female, down to 1% of her size ) is likely to be killed by the female after the coupling, or sometimes even before intercourse has been initiated. This supposed propensity is what gave the black widow spider, Latrodectus mactans, its name. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_cannibalism)

another true story...
Once upon a time there lived a female Dove. Very pretty and equally intelligent. Her heart melted at seeing poverty around and yet she was very very shrewd .
She loved painting and laughing. While her friends burnt the midnight lamps to pass engineering exams , she passed the exams studying in the canteen along with her best friend and numerous plates of samosas.
As soon as she passed her exams , her parents got her married . A perfect match in every way . She cooked rock hard idlies and he showered her with praises.
Their weekend was spent in shopping which was her favorite timepass.
Soon the strokes got them a sonny baby. After the initial few hiccups she settled down to the new routine.
But there was definitely something missing. Did she feel insecure because she was not earning ?
"Darling you are already doing a lot . Why do you want to work now ? " Hubby asked surprised. But as always he let her have her way.
Soon she got a job ! Responsibilities kept on adding - at home and at work. Did she take anyone's help ? No ! Our Dove felt it would be a sign of weakness to ask for help. She was a strong female!
"We need a baby girl" one day Dove declared. "So be it " said darling hubby .
As her maternity leave came to an end , hubby dear once again offered "You can give up your job" .
"No no I promised them I would be back after 4 months . So away I go next month"
Time passed by . With the added responsibility our Dove started getting up one hour earlier and went to sleep an hour later than her usual time.
But the responsibilities kept on adding as did her weight. One day she got a shock as she looked into the mirror. Signs of ageing !!!! The damn expensive cream didn't erase the dark spots as it promised on television. She neither had the time nor the strength to sue them.
"If you want I can leave my work and take care of the house" Hubby dear offered.
"No No you earn more than me. You carry on . I think I will leave my job. Just give me some time to sort it out in my mind "
"I am a superwoman" she chanted 10 times everyday morning. And did it hep ? No it didn't. She gave up her evening walks to meet her deadlines. She didn't have time to hear her daughter sing "Chamak Chalo " . She gave up her pedicures to complete the damn report . "Candle light dinner ?" she gave hubby such a dirty look that he actually felt guilty of proposing it . "Lets just grab a burger . I have a call in half an hour. "
The sensible hubby recognized the sign of depression behind the fake smile. But what could the poor guy do ? And how long could the Dove's body take this kind of abuse. As she sat in front of the Psychiatrist she realized how wrong she was. She thought equality meant going out and working. She knew the exact time of each of her meetings , but didn't know her sons exam had started.
"Darling take a break from work for some time. If it doesn't work out go back. But at least give it a try. " Dove nodded her head in agreement. Next day she went to her office and gave in her resignation. There was a notice period of two months .
From then on every time she fought with her hubby or shouted at her kids she thought "Few more days , then life will be back on track" . She googled for dance class and meditation classes nearby. She did a lot of research on salsa and hip hop and finally decided on belly dancing classes . She was looking forward to her break. She got a new fruit juicer , sprout maker and a steamer.
Finally the day day arrived. She handed over her laptop and said good bye to everyone . As she handed over her Access card at the security she felt very happy and light. Finally she was going to live her life the way she wanted !
She came out of the huge gate . She looked back one last time. She took a step to cross the road. She did see the huge monster truck that was coming from the other side. Crash !!!!! Her white feathers along with her dreams were strewn all over the road... She slowly closed her eyes as the crowd gathered around her... A small tear dropped down from her lashes and got lost somewhere...
Moral/Lessons Learnt :
- Don't wait until tomorrow to begin living. Start right now !
- If your superwoman outfit seems to have ripped /shrunk , just discard them for a designer outfit.
- Its okay to ask for help.

Dear me ...
Dear me
I know you would be gazing out of the window as you read this letter and thinking "What the hell is this ! " . And as you read the previous line you would have a faint smile on your lips . See how well I know you .
You love change . Yes I know you can't stick to anything for long. But you must realize ever time you metamorphose into a new person , people around you might not realize that . It might take them some time to get used to the new you . Don't get irritated, don't panic . These people love you. Give them some time to get used to the new you (which is very frequent ...sigh !)
Writing , dancing , Painting, every time you move from one hobby to another people make fun of you claiming you cannot stick to one thing. But I know why you do this . Your desire is not to master anything , but to experience the new ! (But every time you move on to something new do you mind clearing away all the clutter you created by storing all the canvas , paints , threads etc etc )
I love the unpredictable you . You fought with everyone for a career . You didn't shy away from the politics at work. You fought headlong . You got what you deserved each time. And then just when everyone expected you to rise further in your career , you decided one fine day to take a break. For everyone it was a rash step . But I know you take decisions in minutes and never worry about the consequences . Sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy and follow your heart. I don't have to advise you on that right ? You are doing well (wink wink).
Life my dear, is one big masquerade party. People wear masks all the time . Every mask has a person behind it. Some people wear masks to hide their true self whereas others might wear it just to hide their vulnarablity . Its ok to wear the mask of courage when you might be shivering from inside, its ok to wear a mask of interest just to make your friend feel wanted , its ok to wear the mask of enthusiasm just to make the kids happy. But it is not ok to cheat someone wearing a mask of innocence . That is wrong .
And if someone decideds to take off their mask in front of you , respect them , appreciate them. Embarace them with open arms ...
Coming on to the topic of motherhood . I know you are worried about being a good parent. There is no right or wrong when it comes to parenting. Sometimes you just have to go with your instincts. Just make sure you give your kids enough freedom so that they can think on their own . But keep a watch. They are young and can be easily influenced. Try to be a good parent first and then their best friend.
Another advise : Stop Pretending to be happy when you don't feel happy !
The more you push aside your feelings underneath your fake smile, the more the pressure builds inside
Open up and spill your heart out.
Don't try to suppress your emotions. Its ok to let everyone know now and then that you are not happy . You too need attention and care.
And how can I sign off without commenting on your ego !!! Your big inflated ego !!! Stop wiggling your nose now ! (smile! smile!) . Sometimes you just have to let go a few things . Forget and Forgive.
Everyone makes a mistake now and then (Don't try to look like a saint now ! This includes you as well !!) . Thats why we are given such a long life ...make mistakes , realize it , correct it or just acknowledge it and move on . Each mistake that we realize makes us a better human being. Just don't stop living ...
And yes be proud of yourself always ... Never feel bad about being just an ordinary person. All the perfect people move aside !!! Here comes our Ms ordinary :)
PS : One more tip : You don't have to be guilty of little insincerities towards others .Its all a part of the game called - Life !
You know I love you a lot with all your +ves and -ves and will always be there with you .
Take Care,
I know you would be gazing out of the window as you read this letter and thinking "What the hell is this ! " . And as you read the previous line you would have a faint smile on your lips . See how well I know you .
You love change . Yes I know you can't stick to anything for long. But you must realize ever time you metamorphose into a new person , people around you might not realize that . It might take them some time to get used to the new you . Don't get irritated, don't panic . These people love you. Give them some time to get used to the new you (which is very frequent ...sigh !)
Writing , dancing , Painting, every time you move from one hobby to another people make fun of you claiming you cannot stick to one thing. But I know why you do this . Your desire is not to master anything , but to experience the new ! (But every time you move on to something new do you mind clearing away all the clutter you created by storing all the canvas , paints , threads etc etc )
I love the unpredictable you . You fought with everyone for a career . You didn't shy away from the politics at work. You fought headlong . You got what you deserved each time. And then just when everyone expected you to rise further in your career , you decided one fine day to take a break. For everyone it was a rash step . But I know you take decisions in minutes and never worry about the consequences . Sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy and follow your heart. I don't have to advise you on that right ? You are doing well (wink wink).
Life my dear, is one big masquerade party. People wear masks all the time . Every mask has a person behind it. Some people wear masks to hide their true self whereas others might wear it just to hide their vulnarablity . Its ok to wear the mask of courage when you might be shivering from inside, its ok to wear a mask of interest just to make your friend feel wanted , its ok to wear the mask of enthusiasm just to make the kids happy. But it is not ok to cheat someone wearing a mask of innocence . That is wrong .
And if someone decideds to take off their mask in front of you , respect them , appreciate them. Embarace them with open arms ...
Coming on to the topic of motherhood . I know you are worried about being a good parent. There is no right or wrong when it comes to parenting. Sometimes you just have to go with your instincts. Just make sure you give your kids enough freedom so that they can think on their own . But keep a watch. They are young and can be easily influenced. Try to be a good parent first and then their best friend.
Another advise : Stop Pretending to be happy when you don't feel happy !
The more you push aside your feelings underneath your fake smile, the more the pressure builds inside
Open up and spill your heart out.
Don't try to suppress your emotions. Its ok to let everyone know now and then that you are not happy . You too need attention and care.
And how can I sign off without commenting on your ego !!! Your big inflated ego !!! Stop wiggling your nose now ! (smile! smile!) . Sometimes you just have to let go a few things . Forget and Forgive.
Everyone makes a mistake now and then (Don't try to look like a saint now ! This includes you as well !!) . Thats why we are given such a long life ...make mistakes , realize it , correct it or just acknowledge it and move on . Each mistake that we realize makes us a better human being. Just don't stop living ...
And yes be proud of yourself always ... Never feel bad about being just an ordinary person. All the perfect people move aside !!! Here comes our Ms ordinary :)
PS : One more tip : You don't have to be guilty of little insincerities towards others .Its all a part of the game called - Life !
You know I love you a lot with all your +ves and -ves and will always be there with you .
