Love - unlove

As smiles turn to fights

And arguments to silence 

I watch myself slowly unloving you

Second Chance

 

 

I say the sky is orange

you try to convince me it is not

Blue is the sky

with floating white clouds

you try to make me see the reality

 without realizing

from my peephole

All I could see

was the tiny orange of the rainbow

In the mad rush

 trying to collect the gold and silver coins

We forgot about

the Yellow river , the blue mountain and the purple sun

Beyond the reality

there is a magical world

Long forgotten and abandoned

Hold my hands and close your eyes

We will start the journey again hand in hand this time .

True Story - III

*****All characters appearing in this story are taken from true life. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely intentional. If you can spot yourself amongst the characters, be assured that it is you  ****************


Once upon a time there was a Liger. You don't know what a Liger is? Liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion (Panthera leo) and a tigress (Panthera tigris).

Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species. But he was no ordinary Liger. Oh what a majestic Liger he was. When he walked all the females turned around to look at him. He was large and powerfully built. The Liger's coat was shiny short and buff yellow, with a tuft on the tail tip darker than the rest of the coat. And his mane ? It was full and shaggy , covering the back of his head, neck and shoulders and continuing into the throat and chest to join a fringe along the belly. His mane and fringe were dark, almost black giving him a majestic appearance.
When he roared, all the animals scrambled around and hid wherever they could.
Being at the top he was very lonely. He had followers but no friends. He would spend hours smoking cigarettes and thinking about his lonely life.  What he wanted was a partner. But where could he find a partner who would match up to him ?
So when the Hyena came with a marriage proposal from the lioness living in neighboring forest , he immediately declined. All that she does the whole day is stand in front of the mirror and admire herself , the Liger retorted. No I need someone full of life , who is not afraid of anyone , who everyone looks up in awe.
Who can brighten my days and love me in every way.
"Why don't you marry the sunshine?" the Hyena muttered under his breath before walking away with a bow.
The Liger was about to say something when he looked up. His eyes automatically closed, so bright was the sunshine. He gave a lazy laugh and took out the cigarettes.
He was not able to sleep that night. His mind kept wandering between the neighboring Lioness and the Sunshine.
The next day he decided to propose the Sunshine. For the first time in his life he felt nervous.

"Are you by any chance proposing me " The Sunshine asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Yes ...No ...Yes " stammered the Liger as he extended the flowers towards the Sunshine.
The Sunshine just kept looking at him with a sly smile. He fumbled in his pockets and came up with a ring. "Its a pure platinum ring" , he managed to say.
"So you ARE  proposing me !" The Sunshine said with a triumph .
"Though you are kind of cute , I really cannot marry you"
"Cute !" Did she just call him cute ! The Liger could not believe his ears.
"I love my freedom. I love adventure. I love to shine on the highest mountain and make its snow glisten like diamonds. I love to shine through the thick dense forest and bring joy to numerous birds and animals. I love to shine on the dessert soil. So how can I be tied up with you. But as I said you are kind of cute so yes we can be friends"
And this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The Sunshine followed the Liger when he went for hunting , they both sat near the lake and chatted for hours. Not a day went by without them laughing so loud that the entire jungle wondered what the joke was. But come evening , the Sunshine would bid goodbye to the Liger. Many a times the Liger tried to coax the Sunshine to stay back but she was adamant .
One day after playing in the lake for sometime , the Sunshine took the Liger's hand and whispered a goodbye. His heart missed a beat. He caught hold of her tightly. "I must go dear one" she said softly "for my heart yearns for the mountains and valleys". As she tried to slip away from the Liger , he held on to her more tightly. On the spur of the moment  he caught her and forced her inside a bottle and quickly tightened the lid.
His eyes had a maniac gleam. "Now you are mine... only mine and I refuse to share you with the world"

He took the jar along with him to his den. For the first time they spent the night together. He in a high chair near the jar and she, sad and teary eyed inside the jar. Next day onwards he carried the jar everywhere he went. But he was not happy. Even though he had the Sunshine with him , it was gloomy and dark. As the days passed by the Sunshine lost all her youth and vitality. She became pale day by day. No amount of coaxing or cajoling helped. Even the Liger's health deteriorated. He no longer roared. He even stopped going outside. The whole day he sat inside his den with his little jar of sunshine trying to make her laugh. Finally he gave up on that also and just sat quietly staring at her.
 One day as he sat in his den he saw a colony of ants slowly moving towards the Sunshine. As they were about to climb on top of the Jar , he roared. "How dare you ! Don't you dare to go near my love"
"Your love ? Do you love her? " The leader asked. "Love gives hope, love gives strength, love makes you want to live. But she is about to die and we have come to take her carcasses"
The Liger seemed to be jolted out of his dream. He took one look at the Sunshine and made up his mind. He took a broom kept in the corner and swept off the ants. Then he took the jar outside and opened the lip. With tears in his eyes he bade goodbye to the Sunshine. The Sunshine slowly floated towards the mountains promising to return next year.

Every year as promised the Sunshine returns to the Liger. The Liger waits for this day eagerly throughout the year. They spend time playing in the water , making boats out of the leaf, they cycle down the jungle trail, laughing , chatting and pulling each others leg.

This year too the Sunshine returned. And what did she see ? The Liger was not alone. His wife and three cubs welcomed her warmly. Did she feel a teeny weeny bit of Jealousy ? Yes ! But she was destined to be free , she knew even bounds of love would feel like chains to her. But before saying good bye which she realized was going to be her final goodbye she gave the three cubs a present each. She gave a part of herself to each one in the form of dreams , hope and love without which the world would cease to exist.

Moral/Lessons Learnt : 

• The more you try to possess your lover, the more true love will evade you . Give space give freedom.
• You can't always get what you want. 
• You can find love everywhere...just keep your eyes open ;)

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

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)

hopes dreams and rainbows

my wings are broken

Take Care,

I am lonely ...

I stand in the corner of the garden
Looking proud and tall
I have the whole world
at my feet
No way that I could fall

You kiss my tiny white flowers
Look at me with the longing eyes
I smile wide
And you smile back
To say 'I understand you darling'

Today I stand in the corner of the garden
Trying hard to catch your eye
You are busy on the phone
And I am bleeding
from my heart

My fragrance fill the air
to catch your attention
I look at you with longing eyes
Have I become
a part of your life
So much
That you forgot my existence ?


You notice my wilted flowers
You rush inside
to get a glass of water
The world news on the TV
catches your attention
and the glass of water
remains by your side


Today you water me
Smile at me
And ask me
what is wrong
Why am I not smiling back at you
The way I always do ?

Darling
Broken heart can be mended
But broken spirit
Can it be mended ?

Broken Trust...

He sat quietly and watched as she carefully applied the red lipstick. He watched her pucker her lips, pouting almost as she applied the make-up to them. She smiled at herself and turned back. "Darling I will be late today... Lots of work at office ! "  He just nodded his head.

She took one last look in the mirror, then threw her cell in her brown leather purse, grabbed her office tag off the dresser,  threw a kiss at him and headed for the stairs.   He could hear the front door shut. On an impulse he got up and decided to follow her.

He was careful to keep a significant distance between them. She stopped for a minute to adjust her sandals and then continued to walk towards the bus stop.  She reached the bus stop and pulled out her cell from her bag. Soon 335 B came . He expected her to get into the bus . That was the only bus which went up till her office gate. He was ready to dash into the bus from the hind door. He was surprised to see her still standing there . "What the hell !!! Why was she not taking her regular bus". Just then the next bus came and he saw her getting in. He quickly got inside as well . He was not sure where the bus went. "Last stop" he said handing over 100 Rs.

She got down after three stops . He followed maintaining a safe distance between them.
She walked for around fifteen minutes and then took a left turn. He couldn't see her anywhere as he reached the bend . His blood was boiling from inside. Liar , cheater , vamp ... he came up with numerous adjectives as his eyes searched for her.
He spotted her entering a dilapidated white building. : " Karunashraya - Abode of Peace" the board read. He felt silly standing there. He remembered she had told him few weeks back that their maid's mother was suffering from cancer. She probably though he would make fun of her if she told him the truth. What a woman ! She had a heart of gold ! He suddenly felt so small.

He turned back before she came out and found him. "I must remember to buy some candles and red roses on the way back" he thought , still feeling ashamed.

She came out after few minutes. She stretched as she looked at the sun and smiled. She took out her mobile,  clicked on the message tab and punched the reply "Darling thanks for saving my life today. Will meet you in half an hour"

Take Care,

Believe me I love you ...

The least you could have done

is get me flowers

Its my b'day today, dear

And you forgot that, I fear

No sweetheart I came early

Cancelling all my meetings

just to spend the evening

holding hands and expressing all my feelings

Ha! how do I know you remember

Its our anniversary today

Show me your pocket

Not even a bar of chocolate ?

But honey thats why I hurried

In this rain and wind

To be by your side

And feel the magic of the night

Today as you stand there holding chocolates and flowers

with a guilt in your heart

I feel like rushing to you and ruffling your hair

whispering " darling you are the best , I swear"

I wish I had enjoyed those moments

filled with love and trust

To hold your hands is what I crave

But flowers is all I get on my grave

The moon looked pensive tonight. 

She once again looked longingly at the unfaithful sun. 

Why did he maintain this distance ? She wanted to look into his eyes and  melt away in his arms. 

Lonely... forlorn... filled with revenge she decided to come in between them ...

He just turned and walked away

I was left behind 

I had my dreams and hopes with me 

But he was all alone 

My tears happily mingled

with the dewdrops

Butterflies gliding in the wind 

gave me wings of hope

I’m setting you free

Go, find your own dreams

Run, run away towards the horizon

I release you from my love ...my love 

Like a butterfly I want to live in the moment and not in days or years ...

Can love happen again ?

A shy glance
gentle smile...
numerous promises

careless whispers
sweet nothings...



A gust of wind
scattered hope




broken promises

deep sighs
 lonely nights
silent tears
heartfelt prayers



The dark long unwinding road ...
Is there a hope ?

the solemn promise
the knowing glance
the sacred vows
the magical nights
the strong shoulders
the understanding silence

love can definitely happen again
just keep handy some bandage and champagne

Moksha...

As she stood at the edge of the cliff, she could feel the cool breeze brush against her cheeks.  She stared ahead of her, eyes fixed on the other side. She couldn't help the tears that flowed down her face.Everything was so calm and peaceful, nothing to what was going on inside her. She stood still, her eyes closed as she listened to the soothing sound
She could hear the sound of the river flowing below . She felt as if she was already drowning ... being sucked down ...deep down ..into the unknown ...


She was finally ready ! Ready for Moksha ..Freedom ...Nirvana....Was it the end or a new beginning ?

But how did she reach there ....the edge of the cliff ?


Suddenly her whole life passed before her eyes . Tanya saw herself as a kid playing with her sister . Her best friend saying good bye to her and then Rahul ...His soft touch , his understanding glance and then the tight slap that shattered her world.

Tanya had met Rahul for the first time at a friends party. She was new to the place and hardly knew anyone . she was standing aloof in a corner sipping her drink when hre eyes met the most handsome man in the room.

Before she could take off her eyes from him , he smiled at her. He strode across the room to her and extended his hands . " Hey my name is Rahul. Are you new here? Never seen you here before. " 

The rest of the evening passed by in a flash. When it was time to say good bye Rahul offered her a lift back.He was a through gentleman. Tanya loved his sense of humor as well. She had been catching him stealing quick glances at her. And every time she would catch him, he would quickly turn away or look elsewhere. She just didn't realize when her hostel came. 

After this, Tanya found that she kept on bumping into him everywhere and soon "very shyly he plucked up the courage to ask her for coffee.

Tanya didn't even realize when Rahul became so special for her . Then one day Rahul asked her to accompany him on a very special journey... to a very special place.

After three hours of drive he asked her to get down.
Finally they walked down alittle path and stood at the top of the cliff over looking the beautiful river.It was there he started talking about love, trust, and spending the rest of his life with Tanya. Was he proposing? Tanya couldn't make out. The last sentence she heard was "will you ? Please say yes." She slowly nodded her head thinking, “Is this IT?!!” He finally hugged her tigtly. "Thank you ! I promise never to leave your side. I promise."

Though she was happy before , now she experienced complete bliss. She wanted to spend each and every moment with her beloved. It started impacting her work, but she hardly bothered.

And then one day she stood in front of the bathroom mirror praying hard that the little red line on the pregnancy testing kit should not appear. Her heart sank as she saw the red line slowly appearing.
She immediatly picked up her mobile to call Rahul.

"Don't worry dear. All we have to do is go and see a doctor" Untill they reached the clinic Tanya was not sure if Rahul was talking about abortion or concerned about her health.

But even the cool Rahul started perspiring when the Doctor told them abortion was out of question. "Its already four months. We really can't take the risk. "
He was utterly perplexed and she was totally disturbed.
"There must be something ..something that we can do to get rid of this problem ! " Rahul exploded.
"Why don't we get married Rahul? " Tanya asked innocently.
He grabbed her by her shoulders and shouted " So this was your plan Tanya ? ! You did this on purpose so that I don't run away from your clutches"
"No Rahul. I will never force you to marry me. You are free to leave me and go. "
For days after that  Rahul walked around like a martyr.

They had a registered marriage. Tanya left her job and became a full time housewife. She joined a cooking class, made sure Rahul's house was neat and tidy. Though almost every night Rahul came home drunk , she made sure the dinner was ready on the table.

Rahul never accompanied her to the doctor. Infact the day little Ishita was born Rahul went off on a business trip only to return after a week. Ishita was a very sweet baby. She hardly cried. Probably she realized her mommy was already going through a hell. Though Tanya experienced moments when she felt happy , there were hours when she felt really disturbed.

Rahul's drinking got worse. He hated when anyone asked him about his daughter. He would come back home and take out his anger on Tanya. He has started hitting Tanya now. Tanya no longer shared the bedroom with Rahul. She spent her whole time looking after Ishita or cooking and cleaning .

One day she decided that enough was enough – a decision she put off for long. She went back to her old office and thankfully there was still place for her . She was asked to join in a months time. That would give her enough time to put Ishita in a daycare and look for a place to stay.

That night when Rahul came back, Tanya informed him of her decision to leave. He hit her in a fit of rage. Next morning she could hardly open her eyes. It was completely swollen. Baby Ishita was crying out of hunger and fear. Slowly she got up and prepared milk for Ishita. As she was lying down next to Ishita she heard Rahul slowly coming and sitting next to her. "I am sorry Tanny .....please give me another chance...please ..."

A week after this incident Rahul came up to Tanya and kissed her on the forehead. "Tanny love these are some papers , please sign on them. Theres no time to read them ...just sign on it love. "

That night out of curiosity Tanya opened Rahul's bag to check out what she had signed on. I was an insurance of one crore on Tanya's name. She nearly fainted. So this was what Rahul had planned all along. She decided she had to somehow run away from Rahul taking her precious Ishita with her.

A week later Rahul called Tanya on her mobile. "Love , I got a promotion. Lets celebrate ! Anyway Ishita is in a daycare, why don't you join me  now? I will be waiting for you. You know the place right ?

As Tanya reached the cliff she saw Rahul sitting near the cliff  making circle in the air with his cigarette and a bottle of alcohol next to him .

She tried to look down, but she could not see him anywhere. The cool breeze blew away all the wrinkles and frown from her face.

She was finally ready to leave this life behind and start on a new journey with her daughter. 
She was finally ready ! Ready for Moksha ..Freedom ...Nirvana....
