~ Haiku from my perspective ~

those sad eyes waiting
for her drunkard husband to
return home, will he?

~ Haiku from her perspective ~

neither he nor God
has time to worry or think
about us, hatred life

My son and I were
the victims of that drunkard
bastard, sinful life

Been there, done that quite a few times, though it is strange, when I experience that, I go mad. Sometimes I inhale and exhale to reassure my existence and to laugh at my weird dream. ‘Hell’ or ‘Heaven’, ‘Angel’ or ‘Demon’ what did I see, I wonder! But this mysterious feeling is killing me, '!!!!! DEJA-VU !!!!'.

How sad it is to read that girl children are missing from many countries and are found buried in some graveyard. This social evil is practiced everywhere in the world which is shame on us. In earlier days when a girl was in the womb, she was forced to miss the moment when she was supposed to enter the world. A decade back at the time of birth her relatives wrung her neck and thrown into a trashcan. If by chance if she breathes in this world then she misses all roses of life and was finally fitted to a graveyard because that is where she will get peace of mind. It is our duty to realize our responsibilities and give a halt to this evil crime. Here is a request from angels!

precious angels we
are, save us from extinction
stop this sinful sin

Think a world without girls…

I love the way he
smiles just like the way I
smile, my reflection

he remind me of
my childhood days, I desire
to time travel back

Waiting for second
chance to spend my life like a
kid, Will I get it?

Just two, but he speaks
like a legend, love his words
more than those I pen

Happy Birthday Dear
let you smile the way you do
Long live my sweetheart

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 24; the Twenty-Fourth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for this month is BLACK AND WHITE.

‘Please... Please… I hope you will understand... More than anyone else in this awful world, I love my Mom a lot, I live for her, I breathe for her, and that is why I do not want to betray her... Please let’s part...’ she left the park after tearing her part.

Breathless I am, cannot utter a word too, sat on the bench as if as a dead man because my world became black, ‘When did I saw her first?’ ‘Why did I fall for her?’ I do have an answer for this but…

‘Look at her, she is damn cute,’ my friend said in an excited voice, my eyes searched for an angel through the car’s rear window and I happily smiled on seeing her though my monochromatic eyes. My heart skipped a beat, I said ‘She is a song’, and fought with my eyes to stop staring at her but my eyes won the battle. The reason behind to describe her as a song is whenever we hear a beautiful song we will hymn the song all throughout the day. She is such a cutie; my eyes hymned her beautiful image in black and white from the moment I saw her.

I reached office a little late than usual after the cynosure treat and as usual, I sat before the stupid monitor that always showed a bug in my code. Though frustrating to work, I loved my job because I wanted to stay as the best in whatever things I do and that day was not a usual day because I met my destiny, my life or my breath.

‘Sid, meet Ms. Isha, she is going to be your backup from today, so arrange for a proper knowledge transfer session for her’ Ram, my sweet manager said those happy words; ‘Sure, I will do a proper session Ram.’ I said and a ‘Hi’ to Isha carelessly at first and later recognized that she is the beautiful song that my eyes loved to hymn. ‘Oh My God, what a woman she is, no not just a woman, I would say an angel, nope, she is a beautiful song and my sweet junior in office. Cool, cool Sid, maintain your position as a senior’ I said to myself many times to control myself from staring at her.

She sat next to me because of two reasons; one is that she wants to learn the technology and the other she do not have a separate cubicle to sit and I was happiest man because of the above-mentioned two reasons. Whenever our eyes met, we exchanged a smile and sometimes I stared at her for a long time researching how sweet it would be if I have to taste her lips, though I shouldn't do that but still I cannot help myself. ‘Sir, Sir, Sir,’ she would’ve said that word at least for nine hundred and ninety nine times, and rounded it off to the magical number thousand when she said a Goodbye at the end of the day. I insisted her not to say Sir because I am not her professor but her colleague and advised her to call me as Sid. She nodded her head and she came with me to find the way to get out of the hectic hell.

‘By the way where are you staying?’ she questioned with a sweet smile; Well, her smiled killed me without any weapon and I responded to her, ‘I live close to BTM Water Tank’, she responded, ‘Hey even I live close to BTM Water Tank’ and the conversation rooted to all the parts of the world. ‘Although I speak a lot with my friends today I am wordless’, I said, she smiled, that parted us from day1.

I was wordless when she was with me but today my world itself has less hope, and it has no colour without her and I am… I am….

The next day I decided to speak a little with her but the moment she reached the stop every resolution of mine went to dust, my heart skipped a beat, and my eyes continued hymning her image, the beautiful song. ‘Hi,’ was the first lyric written by me, and, ‘Good Morning’ was the second phrase added by her to the sweet song. We got into the cab and sat next to each other. ‘Hey! I read your poem, First Waters, I should say it is the best work I’ve read in my lifetime’ she said and I thanked her, ‘so… Who is the lucky girl’ she asked me with excited beautiful eyes, ‘I rhymed it for my dream one’ I said with a sweet smile and the world went unnoticed for the next twenty minutes.

As soon as we reached the office, we started to stare at the stupid monitor that never showed an output. Although it ate my brain in the name of bug, it did some favour in the past but today my brain stopped working not because of the work stress but because of the beautiful song was sitting next to me and we ended up in zero productivity. ‘Perhaps the best performer had a bad day, isn’t it?’ her soothing words sounded so sweet, I smiled a response and said to myself, ‘Perhaps the best performer brain had stopped working’.

I was brainless that day but today I am colourless without my colourful life…

Days rolled on, the sweet music is now sweeter than sweetest sweet as we became closer and closer, discovered what love is in our eyes. I waited for a perfect day to propose my love and that special day happened to be her birthday which came sooner than expected but my words was as usual struck as I said, ‘Happy Birthday Isha,’ and turned back to start. ‘Sid, Sid, wait a minute?’ she stumbled for words; I nodded with a sweet smile. ‘Thanks a lot for your special wish’ she said, in-turn I smiled, she smiled and left the place with a bittersweet smile.

Frustrated to the peak because I was unable to convey my love to her; I went to my cubicle and the moment I saw a sticky note written by her, I flied to sky, may be to cloud nine, or may be to a higher place that that. ‘Idiot, Calm down’ she said, I said, ‘I don’t have words to say how much I love you, so here I go’, I went on my knee, and uttered those beautiful words; ‘Will you be my breath?’ She ran from the place blushing and shouting, ‘Be my breath until I breathe my last...’ I was not sure on how to react so stood like a tree, and by end of the day, I took her to Landmark Shop to buy her a teddy bear. She was excited to the core, which her eyes conveyed, and she selected many teddies in different colours and asked for my suggestion and I said, ‘beautiful’ for all the colour teddies.

‘Hey idiot I love purple colour but I want you to select a teddy of your choice’ she said, ‘Well that’s right my sweetheart but I can see them only in black and white through my monochromatic eyes’ I said; Her eyes became wet on hearing me as she couldn’t control herself but I made her calm with my words and the romance continued... Aww, what a day it was! As soon as I reached home, I messaged her as...

'My hands told me I’m shivering with fear,
When I only thought of saying it to my dear!

Heart became restless and sounded louder,
Seconds before, it was as silent as falling powder.

Thoughts crept into the mind with great force,
Confused, and stopped it from thinking, of course!

I would imagine that future, a few hours away;
That would burden it with my past straightaway.

Carrying an untold love is heavy, indeed;
Courage, real courage is what I need!

Hiding my fear, or hiding myself in fear,
I came to you and looked at you, my dear.

That very sight quenched the restless senses,
Which were thirsty for that real courage!

I became my natural self, totally myself;
And realized you were surely my real self.

Few words said, I saw the ‘heavy’ love,
Getting dissolved in us as it reached you!’

The sweetest poem I have ever penned is for the sweetest music my monochromatic eyes used to hymn but today my world is black, so my words and I… Day becomes night or the night became day I never know, the time froze as I sat on the bench. I took my mobile and sent a message to her as,

‘The bridge is not so long
I can come to you along

The cold is killing you and me
I can give you, myself, and me

The hurting reasons make me wait
I still love you with all my heart

The sweet memories never fade away
I wish eternal love and peace in our way.’

More than a dozen of times, I had waited for her in the same park and with all my love composed many sweet rhymes dedicating to her and this one on a romantic evening...

On a pleasant evening with the moon,
I rhymed waters for you to reach soon!
With the birds singing the song,
I rhymed waters with you along!

Trees dances with the gentle breeze,
I rhymed waters for time to freeze!
With plectrum striking the guitar strings,
I rhymed waters with your lips!

Tuning the scales with the pegs,
I rhymed waters for thy bliss!
With the heavy love watering the soul,
I rhymed waters for my twin soul!

But today I am waiting even though I know that you will not come… Tears thundered from my eyes now and then, my mobile beeped and the message conveyed, ‘Please come to the park, I wish to meet you for one last time’. My heart flied like a butterfly because the white moon can be seen in the dark black sky at least for one last time and I replied to her as, ‘I left neither you nor the park’…

She came running to the park, stood before me for a second, and hugged me saying ‘I cannot dream of leaving you idiot but…’ She neither uttered a word nor she move from me and I heard my mobile beep once again, and read the new message from her.

Dear :-)
You are so special to me :-)
I never met such a sweet person in my lifetime :-)
Neither my Mom nor you are the reason for me to part but, :-(
God, I may die anytime of this killing blood cancer :-(
Never know that I am suffering from this dreadful disease :-(
I do not want to go away from your life but fate does, so please forgive me :-(
You are so special to me :-)
Dear, I may leave anytime… Have a beautiful life :-)

My life became black and I felt a little wet on my shoulder, so I lifted her and saw blood pouring out of her mouth, I cried, ‘Isha, Isha, Isha, Isha… but… God, God..God... You did the mistake.. You did the mistake...’

.

.

.

.

.

She shouted, 'Hey Idiot! Happy Valentine’s Day! How can I miss my life?’ She hugged and kissed me madly and I said, ‘The black clouds may cover the white moon for few hours but it’s not forever' and I saw a colourful life through her eyes although I am colour-blind (monochromatic).’.

‘I LOVE HER MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE SHE IS THE ANGEL I'D LOVE TO KISS EVERYDAY AND I HATED HER FOR MAKING MY WORLD BLACK FOR A DAY OR SO’

an eye buried with
corpse can make the whole world
go blind someday

an eye donated
can colour someone's life, save
eyes from burial

I’m happy to say that with this post I’ve completed 300* posts. Wow! For the first time, I am penning down my own milestone post, and I am super happy to pen it, yah, happy!

As most of you know my sweet journey started with the poem, “First Waters”, and later (LEO - 100) & (Jingle - 200), (Simran Kaur, Geeta Singh and Mohini Purnaik - 250) honoured me with their guest post and I heartily thank them for sharing their words :-)

Every time I used to invite my fellow writers to write a guest post but this time I did not, instead I requested one of my granny to write few words for me in general and the result is here.

In Hindi...

दोहा -

1. मन का तोसा गहन है इतना धन से भरण न पाई,
व तो तभी भरिये मानस ज्ञान जो ह्रदय समाई

2. मोह की मीठी चाश में तिखा न देख दिखाई
मोह की आस ब्रिथा जब होगी तब आएगी रुलाई

3. सुख ही कारण दुःख उपजत है
ये तत गुढ है आजानी
जो बोवत वाही हो कहावत यह तन खेत की नीयायी

In English...

Doha -

1. The satisfaction of mind cannot be ample by the money but it can be procured with the light of knowledge in heart and mind.

2. When we get so much of love, we are at the top of the world and get madly blind within its sweetness! But when we realize that there is no one to love, we mourn over it!

3. It's only our hunger or eagerness to grab the happiness, the main reason behind our pain and cries... This truth is totally unknown! The one who sows this excitement within is prone to it's loss... This is all the reality..

Thanks for the light grandma, “Swarn Kaur”, Grandma of Simran Kaur ~ My Friendship.

Wish - I wish to write more and more poems as well as creative fictions with proper grammar (trying to) from my heart, hopefully! Also to publish my novel soon.. Let’s see... Fingers crossed... What else??? Yeah... Party time.........

Here we go.. Enjoy the Champagne... Join the party... Shower your blessings as comments or share the word to the world to enjoy the words..

The living God, she
cares for you more than anyone
does, she is mother

The pleasant music
ever composed is the sweet
lullaby of mom

She is a song, my
heart loves to hum every
passing sweet moment

Cutest haiku she is,
Never able to end, though
I write billion words

Neither painter’s brush
Nor the poet’s mighty pen can
describe a mother

she is a rainbow
even if it is less than
seven cute colours

The living God, I
pray daily is my Mother,
blessed to be your son

AskLaska - The Lines I loved the most ~ அஸ்க் லஸ்காவில் நான் ரசித்த மிக அழகான வரிகள் !

2012-01-11T04:22:00.000+05:30

After a long time I am writing a post worded in Tamil, definitely not a poem from my pen but a song written by the lyricist Madhan Karky. He is a software engineer, research associate, assistant professor of computer science at the College of Engineering (Guindy), lyricist, and film dialogue writer. He is always known for his lyrics because he researches for beautiful and different words before writing a lyric for any songs; such is the specialty of the writer. Do stop by his blog or follow him on Twitter.

Here I wish to quote the beautiful lines (to me) written in the song, ‘AskLaska’ for the movie ‘Nanban’. The beauty of a lyric is to rhyme without any actually rhyme, which is difficult to achieve but he has achieved with ease, even though he picked the words from 16 different languages that conveys the meaning ‘LOVE’.

Ask | Laska | Amour | Aye | Ast | Liebe | Habo | Boling | Cinta | Ishq | Meile | Love | Ishta | Prema | Pyaar | kathal

♥ Ask - Turkish ♥ Laska - Slovak ♥ Amour - French/Spanish ♥ Ai - Chinese ♥ Ast - Icelandic ♥ Liebe - German ♥ Ahava - Hebrew ♥ Bolingo - Lingala ♥ Cinta - Malay ♥ Ishq - Arabic ♥ Meile - Lithuanian ♥ Love - English ♥ Ishtam - Telugu ♥ Premam - Malayalam ♥ Pyaar - Hindi ♥ Kaathal – Tamil

The first line swept my heart with such beautiful worded rhyme so I started to hear the song as many times I can hear in a day.

“அத்தனை மொழியிலும் வார்த்தை ஒவ்வொன்று கொய்தேன் மொத்தமாய் கோர்த்துதான் காதல் செண்டொன்று செய்தேன்” ~ It’s absolutely true that he has taken beautiful words from different languages to create a beautiful bouquet of words.

“புளூட்டோவில் உனை நான் கூடேற்றுவேன், விண்மீன்கள் பொறுக்கி சூடேற்றுவேன்.” ~ Oh my God, he wants to take the girl to Pluto and if she feels cold, he will use stars to create a warm environment.

“முக்கோணங்கள் படிப்பேன் முன் மூக்கின் மேலே விட்டம் மட்டம் படிப்பேன் உன் நெஞ்சின் மேலே மெல்லிடையோடு வளைகோடு நான் ஆய்கிறேன்” ~ He can learn about triangles from her nose, ‘Diameter Level’ from her heart and ‘Curves’ from her hips. What a romantic line…

“உன் நெஞ்சில் நாடிமானி வைக்க காதல் காதல் என்றே கேட்க” ~ Using stethoscope she can hear love love from his heart (PS: The heroine is a doctor in the movie).

“தேஜாவு கனவில் தீ மூட்டினாய் ராஜா என் மனதை ஏன் வாடினாய், கப்பம் கேட்டு மிரட்டி நீ வெப்பம் கொண்டாய் ரத்தம் மொத்தம் கொதிக்க என் பக்கம் வந்தாய் வெண்ணிலவாக இதமாக குளிரூட்டவா” ~ I don’t wanna spoil the beauty of this line by translating it in my words.

“நீ கொல்லை மல்லி முல்லை போல பிள்ளை மெல்லும் சொல்லை போலே” ~ And yeah this is the best rhyme one could write..

ஆஹா என்ன அழகு ! What a beautiful way to pen down a song! So here, I present the song in Tamil.

அஸ்க் லஸ்கா எமோ எமோ – ஐ அஸ்த் அஸ்த் லைபே – அஹாவா போலிங்கோ சிந்தா சிந்தா – இஷ்க் இஷ்க் மைலே – லவ் இஷ்ட பிரேம பியாரோ பியாரோ – ஒரு காதல் உந்தன் மேலே

அத்தனை மொழியிலும் வார்த்தை ஒவ்வொன்று கொய்தேன் மொத்தமாய் கோர்த்துதான் காதல் செண்டொன்று செய்தேன் உன்னிடம் நீட்டினேன் காதலைக் கட்டினேன்...

ஏனோ தன்னாலே உன் மேலே காதல் கொண்டேனே! ஏதோ உன்னாலே என் வாழ்வில் அர்த்தம் கண்டேனே!

புளூட்டோவில் உனை நான் கூடேற்றுவேன், விண்மீன்கள் பொறுக்கி சூடேற்றுவேன்

முக்கோணங்கள் படிப்பேன் முன் மூக்கின் மேலே விட்டம் மட்டம் படிப்பேன் உன் நெஞ்சின் மேலே மெல்லிடையோடு வளைகோடு நான் ஆய்கிறேன்

ப்ளாட்டோவின் மகனாய் உன் வேடமா? ஆராய்ச்சி நடத்த நான் கூடமா?
பாழும் நோயில் விழுந்தாய் உன் கண்ணில் கண்டேன் நாளும் உண்ணும் மருந்தாய் என் முத்தம் தந்தேன்

உன் நெஞ்சில் நாடிமானி வைக்க காதல் காதல் என்றே கேட்க

தேஜாவு கனவில் தீ மூட்டினாய் ராஜா என் மனதை ஏன் வாடினாய், கப்பம் கேட்டு மிரட்டி நீ வெப்பம் கொண்டாய் ரத்தம் மொத்தம் கொதிக்க என் பக்கம் வந்தாய் வெண்ணிலவாக இதமாக குளிரூட்டவா

கண்ணாடி நிலவாய் கண் கூசினாய் வெண்வண்ண நிழலை மண் வீசினாய்

புல்லில் பூத்த பனி நீ – ஒரு கள்ளம இல்லை
வைரஸ் இல்லா கணினி – உன் உள்ளம வெள்ளை

நீ கொல்லை மல்லி முல்லை போல பிள்ளை மெல்லும் சொல்லை போலே

ஆஹா என்ன அழகு ! ~ The last line is the most beautiful line of the song and I am sure it’s in his genes because he is the son of Vairamuthi Sir, my all time favorite lyricist. I would love to share two beautiful lyrics written by Vairamuthu Sir which is close to my heart.

“வானம் எங்கும் உன் பிம்பம் ஆனால் கையில் சேரவில்லை
காற்றில் எங்கும் உன் வாசம் வெறும் வாசம் வாழ்க்கையில்லை”

I can see your image in the sky but I never touched it!
I can just smell your fragrance in the air, but it is not my life!

And

"வலிமிகும் இடங்கள் வலிமிகா இடங்கள் தமிழுக்குத் தெரிகின்றதே
வலிமிகும் இடங்கள் வலிமிகா இடங்கள் தங்களுக்கு தெரிகின்றதா"

Even the language knows the painful and painless places!
Do you know the painful and painless places?

என்ன அழகான இரட்டைக் கிளவி! அருமை.

I wish to read more and more beautiful lyrics from Karky as well.

I take this opportunity to wish my dear blogging friends, A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR ! Let this year bring the magic you wish and here is a poem dedicated to all my close, dear, near and far loved ones in form of 2 0 1 2 !

என் இனிய அன்பர்களே! நண்பர்களே! இனிய புத்தாண்டு நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள் ! இதோ உங்களுக்காக ஓர் கவிதை, 2 0 1 2 ! வடிவத்தில்…

The last day of the year ends, and a New Year starts,
We wish our loved ones, near & far but close friends,
                                        Healthy life,
                                        Smiling lips,
And beautiful hearts just like a plain sheet of paper!
Recall and cherish all those happy and beautiful times
That enriched                                        
Our lives, and                                        
Reflect upon the one that really counts for lifetime,
Because a fresh and beautiful start is waiting for us.


      There may be many, many, & many disappointments,
Some unfulfilled  dreams,  desires,  and  expectations
Those are heavy to carry,  with  worthless  fake smile
It burdens our shoulders,         distressed little cute eyes
Neither the  eyes closed,  nor mind slept those nights
Do not  put  them  aside;  Kick them out of one's life
      Because a fresh and beautiful start is waiting for us.


    I hate
 Saying the words
  ‘Let me do it tomorrow’
      Because the
     Reason 4 our
     Failures are
     These  words
     Demolish it,
Because a fresh and beautiful start is waiting for us.


We  may  opted out of many  good  opportunities,
But from  now on let us  take them in shoulders,
                                    & grow with
                                    Our country,
Let everyone  dream  big and make it  come true,
And they breathe success in every phase of life!
Saving money                                    
For the future                                  
Will never help us instead let us live for today !
Because a fresh beautiful start is waiting for us!


It is a new dairy!
Make resolutions !
Follow them surely!
Transform aspirations
Let success kisses U
SmileS are waiting,
For a chance, Win !
:-)

and here is a Haiku on New Year !

It is a new start,
travelling to achieve
a new dream this year

Dear Santa - Wish List ~ Happy & Merry Christmas

2011-12-24T06:39:00.001+05:30

Dear Santa,

I used to write many letters to you in my childhood wishing for good food, proper dress, peaceful sleep, house with proper roof, video games (super Mario), and ice creams (gulfi) but today I write to you with a big list of wishes, hoping that it would be fulfilled. Fingers crossed….

1. It’s been so long since I ate my mom’s food (pappu rice) and I am totally fed up eating these stupid pizza’s and burgers all day and night here in London. Moreover, it’s almost 90 days since I ate my Mom’s delicious healthy food, so can you please gift my Mom’s food for this Christmas because I cannot wait for few more months, please Santa….

2. It’s been so long since I spent time with my close friends smiling, chitchatting, joking, and playing all day and night. I miss them a lot, so can you please buy tickets for my best friends and old roomies to London, I can spend the New Year with them, please Santa...

3. It’s been so long since I saw my nephew Ashik, he is not feeling well now and then, can you please bless him a good health for years, please Santa…

4. It’s been so long since I held Nihill in my hands, so please, please; somehow help me to hold him for at least seconds, please Santa...

5. It’s been so long since I penned my novel and it is hanging here and there, bits and pieces in chapters. I really do not find any time to complete it, so can you please buy me some time to complete them at a go, please Santa…

6. It’s been so long since I went for a lone walk in a calm street, and I don’t find any such places here in this romantic city, so can you please create a special road for me to walk for at least one hour, please Santa…

7. It’s been so long since I raced in cycles on a narrow road, so can you please get me a cycle or your sleigh to enjoy a ride, please Santa…

8. It’s been so long since I played with snow, and now here in London it is not at all snowing, so can you please pour snow for one day? I can happily play on it eating ice creams, please Santa. PS: I have played in artificial snow in Abirami Mall.

9. It’s been so long since I wrote romantic poems, so can you please fire my dream girl for stopping me to write romantic poems, please Santa…

10. It’s been so long since I smiled happily, so can you please…. Please Santa…

The list continues… but I don’t wish to turn off people with my stupid wishes, so let me stop and here I go… a sweet haiku on Christmas..

Noel a festival
Commemorate the birth of
Christ, Merry Christmas!

a poem on Christmas wish…

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas !
I think of all the gifts
That brings me immense pleasure
But nothing can bring joy and happiness of
Eating pappu rice prepared by my sweet Mom
That’s the
Only Gift
I wish
for ! !
please
Santa !
Please fulfill my wish, please….!

And before I leave... here is my lifelong wish.. (actually posted last year..)

O my beautiful God!
Give back the beautiful place
Where I lived for 300 peaceful days
Give back the joyful childhood
When I smiled for no reasons
Give back the friendly lap
Where I slept for hours
Give back the lovely day
When I slept for 24 hours
Give back the school
Where I was the only Hero
Give back the sweet moments
When I scored centum in Mathematics
Give back the narrow road
Where I raced with cycles
Give back the pleasant time
When I first felt who I am to someone
If not,
Give me the heart
With belief as weapon
That these words will come true
One day!

I wish all a very HAPPY and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What can a sharp mind and fiery tongue can do in a sticky situation

2011-12-18T06:51:00.003+05:30

This post have won in ‘Sets You On Fire’Contest, organized by IndiBlogger in association with FIAT. I thank all the sweethearts for selecting my post as one of the winning entries. Thank you for your support. Happy Man.. Thank you thank you thank you...

‘Once again you made love with your dream girl’ her words resonated with huge excitement. ‘Of course I did’ I said, on hearing my words she started to blush, so she stayed away from webcam. ‘Ohi… Please do not imagine yourself in that situation. Come inside the webcam frame.’ I said. ‘Nah... I did not’, but her eyes told she indeed imagined herself in that situation. ‘So you are going to write about your dream!’ her question sounded like an answer. ‘No. I lost the interest in writing.’ I said. She was surprised on hearing me so she was bugging me to reveal the reason for my statement. I said, ‘I am person who write to find peace in life or to share my happiness but after landing in London, I found neither, moreover I miss my mom because it is almost ninety days since I ate the delicious healthy food cooked by my mom and that’s pretty much the reason.’ She did not reply a word because she is in the same situation and that made her eyes upset, so in order to cheer her up I changed the topic after a virtual friendly hug.

‘IndiBlogger has announced a new contest ‘SETS YOU ON FIRE’ in association with KFC’ I said, ‘KFC! Wow! I love KFC chickens, the best among the best.’ She said. ‘I could feel your love with KFC from your words’ I said. ‘Yeah! I love yummy fried chickens and KFC is the best.’ she said, and I felt the excitement in her eyes because eyes never lie.

‘Hello! Lost in my eyes?’ she questioned, I smiled, ‘Just kidding! Did you win in the ‘Dove’ contest?’ she questioned, ‘Of course I do… I won several hearts with my post and you are one of those hearts’ I said, ‘Of course! You have won my heart with your words, Mr. Writer!’ she said, I smiled; she smiled, and said ‘Let me ask a question and if you answer to this then you are the winner of this contest. What is the abbreviation of KFC?’ ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken, I think even little kids know this!’ I said, ‘He he he... Ok tell me about the contest.’ She said.

‘The contest is to describe an event where your sharp mind and fiery tongue got you out of a sticky situation.’ I said, she said, ‘Wait let me tell the story Mr. Romancer! The story line will be a writer narrating how his sharp mind and fiery tongue got him out of misunderstanding with his wife that his stories were true and he had many girlfriends.’ ‘He he he... That’s an old story my dear friend.’ I said, she smiled, and said, ‘Ok ok ok… I think… A cute little baby questioning his father on how much he love his mother and that too before his mother…’

‘That's very sticky but... Nah... Enough of writing love stories and dreams. This time if I write I may write about a fiery funny incident happened in my college life, a story about my gang.’ I said, she said, ‘Fiery funny incident! Interesting, please narrate it to me... Please…’ ‘I would love to…’ I said, ‘Please go ahead, Mr. Writer’ she said.

Our college is known as central jail for its strict rules and regulations. Even if you forget to bring record to a lab, actually a small mistake but considered as criminal offense and that person internal marks will be screwed up and in the worst case he may be suspended for a week. In such environment we, a gang of ten raw students who are the best in studies, extracurricular activities, and mischief activities ruled the college. We neither bothered to stay as outstanding (out-standing) students nor about the suspensions. Actually, in the history of our college, we are the only batch who was never suspended, due to any mischief activities until that event happened.

‘Out-Standing, just like me.. C’mon tell me what happened…’ she said,

This incident happened exactly three and half years ago in my final semester. Anand (யானை), a fat sweet-hearted person who always creates a funny environment in our class once stuck in a sticky situation and was about to be fired out of my college but his sharp mind helped to get him out of the sticky situation.

‘Anand... or… ok continue…’ she said...

One of our college rules is either to write or to fill first two papers in the cycle or model test answer sheets or else they have to bring their parents to college. I know it is a stupid rule but what to do rules are rules and it has to be followed in my college.

‘Yeah... yeah... Rules are rules... I hate rules....’ she said…

We do follow rules for most of the papers but ISD (Information System Design) is an exception not because it is a dry subject but because of the stupid idiotic lecturer who handled that paper. She always irritate by assigning seminars because she don’t know even abs about that paper but she acts as if she knows everything and moreover even if we write the correct answers she evaluates poorly which adds fuel to the fire. Because of this reason, we planned to answer only for two papers for the model exams and as planned, we wrote our love stories for ISD Model exam but Anand went a step ahead, drew the lecturer picture in the answer sheet (PS: He is very good at this).

‘He drew the picture of your lecturer? OMG what happened then?’ her eyes awaited for my answer.

What can happen other than suspension? Simple isn’t it? Actually as soon as we came out of the examination hall, Anand revealed about this. I was little afraid because we have no suspension streak for the past three and half years despite our mischief activities but this time I had no hope. And as expected, our lecturer started evaluating our gang papers in the first break, as soon as she saw this she complained to our HOD.

‘OMG… What did you HOD say then? Don’t say your HOD asked him to meet principal’ she said.

As usual our HOD asked Anand and me (class rep) to report in his room. I was really tensed about the situation but Mr. Cool (Anand) was as usual stood like a pillar and our lecturer was firing at us about various issues that almost fried us as well as our HOD, he said, ‘What’s all this? Is this the way you behave in your final semester? Should I suspend you?’ I was literally dead because we do not have a loophole to escape out of this sticky situation but…

‘But... please tell me....’ she said.

But Mr. Cool’s sharp mind and fiery tongue did the trick. All of a sudden, Anand fired a question to our HOD. ‘Sir, Did you ever seen me bringing pen to the exams?’ ‘No... I myself have lend my pen on few occasions but you never gave it back’ HOD said. ‘Then how will I bring a pencil? Our mam challenged us that she will suspend us by cooking a story but I never thought she would cook such cheap stories.’ Anand Said and everyone started to think, I got the niche, so I started to shout at our mam, they shouted back at us, and we, almost like street dogs, finally HOD requested us to leave this issue.

We came out of the room smiling because his sharp mind and fiery tongue not only saved us to get out the sticky situation but also to maintain the streak of first and most mischief batch to pass out without any suspensions.

‘Wow, you guys have enjoyed your college days like anything....’ She said, ‘Yeah we did.’ I said, ‘Why don’t you write this incident for the contest.’ She said. ‘As I said I lost interest in writing so I am not sure’ I said

‘Please you should, and you will if you really love your dream girl’ she smiled. I smiled when I was about to press on Publish button and I hope you will smile when you read this post.

PS: I as a part of IndiBlogger, ‘Sets You On Fire’ Contest, have published this post. The contest is to, "Describe an event where your sharp mind and fiery tongue got you out of a sticky situation. Do leave your footprints to add a smile to my face..
