For Now

2009-08-08T20:45:00.001+05:30

For now I am here, treading this heathMind and body and soul, flesh and bloodWrapped together, a miracle of lifeLiving and loving, caring and sharingFor now, let me be, as life beckonsTo experience another day of destinyUnraveling vistas unknown, unheardWhere the music of life plays for allFor now, there is none to intrudeAs the stream of thought trickles bySprinkling the light of aged wisdomUpon

No am not back, but I had to put this up for my Angel Nanimum aka Preetilata :)It's said that the thought is what matters, hope this simple wish carries the song of my heart and the voice of my mind across to you dear. God Bless You always!

Since I was a little girl, I had always dreamt of an ideal friendA friend as sweet as a fairy, like fresh cream from the dairyThose were the exact words I had in mind as I set to find herIn the hope that one day she will come into my life's storyYears passed and I made many friends, good, better, bestThankful to God I am for them all, who nourish my inner soulBut none can be there every single

Love And Let Love

2009-02-15T01:20:00.010+05:30

We all perceive love differently. For some, it is a way of life, for some it is a part of life, for some it is life itself. I first came to know about Valentine’s Day in the seventh grade and fourteenth of February was never the same again. With each passing year, my friends and I would eagerly look forward to V-Day since the first of the month. Back in school, my perception of love was to have a

Happily Ever After

"...and they lived happily ever after", concluded Sia, tucking her daughter into bed."That was such a sweet story Mummy", murmured Ritu, sleep playing in her doll-like eyes."Are they still happy?"The door yawned ever so lightly.Rahul had come to collect his wife."Yes they are", smiled Sia as their eyes made love.*Image Happily Ever After by Snigglefritz

Green Dreams

2009-01-18T16:00:00.005+05:30

Looking out her window, she saw the world passing by. A world where she felt like an alien. They looked and spoke like her, yet there was something that held her back from calling herself one of them. She had moved here two summers ago, to live her dreams, but had not been able to savor anything truly, not here in this land she had fancied for ages. She was not ungrateful, this place had given

The Beginning Of The End

2008-12-27T00:55:00.010+05:30

Hard to believe that another year has elapsed, time simply flies! Anticipation of the new year is there, but not much, given the situation of our country, and the world as such. What with the recession looming large, violence all over the world with the innocent paying the price as usual, and talks of impending war between India and Pakistan, the festive cheer is kind of hard to invoke.Talking of

Joy To The World

It's the festive season, the world is a hive of activityHappy faces all around, blooming and smiling I seeCarols sung in earnest, gifts being wrapped to sendJoy and spirit in the air that nothing can transcendLights so bright, shining in glory for everyone aroundA jingle here, a tinkle there, not a place is sans soundCelsius dropping by the day does not quell the moodWafting from every window,

Friends are one's greatest treasure. Lucky is the man who can value true friendship and preserve them in the ever changing face of life's conundrums.It's been an year and a half since I started to blog and I have seen and learnt a lot here. My social circle has expanded and lateral thinking enhanced. Though I never thought I would get attached to anyone on a personal basis on this platform, I

Hello Friends! I am sorry to have done a disappearing act. Was away from the net for a month, and it actually was a very relaxing change, lol. Thanks a ton to the dear caring buddies who left concerned mails and wishes. Will be around to all your blogs shortly and start posting soon. As to what I had been up to all this time, pictures are worth a thousand words :)

A Toast To Life

Ok, so the Big Bang experiment is underway and what's more thrilling than the experiment itself is all the hype surrounding it. Today morning, I thought nothing of it when I woke up. At about three in the afternoon as I sat chatting away with Cindy and Lena online, I felt the bed shaking and the first thought that struck me was, This is it! I just grabbed both my phones, ran to the door, and

Give Love A Chance

2008-09-10T00:10:00.008+05:30

In life, many come and go. Those who leave a mark in our memories are one of a kind. Because they made a difference knowingly or otherwise, in some way or the other, even if they are no more a part of the story. Whatever they were capable of they gave, and took as well. All relationships have rifts, what matters is how we manage to seal them, sooner or later. Sometimes, even the most strongest of

Love Always Shines

2008-09-07T01:30:00.006+05:30

From your first kiss that made me stretchTo those osculations after fervent prayerI treasure each thoughtful & loving gestureWiser any day than the wisest soothsayerWhen we were deemed to be by ourselvesYou filled in best you could as a confidantThe meals might have lacked that smackBut love and effort were forever abundantYou made sure I did not miss out anythingIn spite of lacking that pillar

Their Fairytale

2008-09-03T15:12:00.002+05:30

It was an ordinary Sunday morning. Stretching and yawning out loud, she trudged to her comp. The cabinet beeped, the modem blinked and she was back to her online home on orkut. She had gotten hooked to it since the past few months, thanks to some friends who had made her join. And now she was the one pestering her friends to create their own orkut profile. The friend list was expanding, the

She beheld him, the lust glinting in her eyes, knowing too well he was a forbidden pleasure. The bonds of restraint seemed to be giving way, its curtails drawing apart. All she could think was desire, all that she could see was his perfection, as he sat there, robed in the finest attire. He was the most delectable of all she had ever tasted.The sabbatical had taken its toll on her, it was evident

Her Canvas

2008-08-06T01:30:00.001+05:30

She lived a colorless life, doing what she was supposed to do. Deep within, she hoped one day there would come someone to paint her dull canvas. Seasons passed, and yet came none...Still, she carried on with a smile on her face and a spring in her step. She knew happiness is in giving, and she gave with all her heart. Wherever she went, she left behind fragrance, one that emanated from the depths

Believe...

2008-07-30T01:30:00.001+05:30

A few years back, I had watched The Polar Express. It carried a beautiful message to believe. Such a simple word, yet a depth of meaning woven in those seven letters. I am glad I did, and still believe...*In God. I know He is there, watching.*In faith, that hand which never gives way when all seems lost.*Love comes again.*I make a difference, even if a small one, in the life of another.*Dreams do

Get out! She yelled. Looking daggers at her, he left, slamming the door behind him.Noooooooooooo, she bolted upright, jactitating. Blackouts usually followed her crying fits, but not nightmares. Shafts of fading sunlight pierced the eerie shadows of the room. Getting up to turn on the light, she hoped he was alright. She could not help worrying as she cooked, tidied the house, took a warm shower
