I need you, O Almighty
You have given me much O Almighty. You have given me everything I could have wished for.. my world, my parents, my blood.. when I look up, I see the sky.. I see your blessing. I see your blessing in the people around me.
But O lord, my emptiness still remains, my eyes still with tear... my thirst not quenched.
I chase you in the beam of white light, O Almighty..
When you have given me so much, you need to give me a bit more..
I need you with me.. in me..
I am not returning unless I get you, O Almighty.

Another story of a commoner..
For he waited, to be oppressed.
For he toiled, to be suppressed.
For he supported, to be rebuked.
For he loved, to be used.

“A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.” Rupert Brooke
Do you remember your first kiss? What is kissing for you?
I do….For me, every kiss is different....and it can be a particular kiss that makes up for all the kisses that have been forgotten. It should touch the very existence of my inner self, being decisive, as well as adventurous, making my world spin around, and the intensity felt all over, like you get an electric shock of love right through you. Uhhm!

What If?
The relationship between a mother and a child is that space where only transcendental purity exists. But that is something every woman who has given birth will know. Sheila knew the essence of it even before she had a little girl. But it was only after her baby was born that she began to comprehend the power she had – to create life. The miracle in front of her eyes moved her almost to the brink of insanity and pushed her over the edge. The love she felt weakened her and brought stinging tears to her eyes. She looked away and busied herself with the sunset outside her window.
Shekhar came home early one day and sprang a pleasant surprise on mother and daughter. This was a year after that sunset of joy and trepidation. A happy family went out for a warm evening of togetherness that evening – an evening almost full to the brim with joy and laughter. Sheila broached the subject coyly yet matter of factly … “So two more years right?” Shekhar looked up, a hint of the remnant smile from the last conversation still on his face. “Yes baby”, he said, “two more years”.
In two years they cautiously moved towards their planned life ahead - An adoption of a baby girl. This is where my story begins and with it myriad questions that keep haunting me…

Shekhar and Sheila well versed into parenthood now felt confident with the adoption and their capability of giving the best in life to the girl they would adopt. They knew that there would be complications but they were also aware of how best to ease the pain, both for themselves and the girl that they would bring into their lives. However, even before they treaded that path, there were questions to answer. A lot of “what ifs”.
One day a week before their appointment in the adoption agency – Shekhar, knowing his wife too well, asked, “Sheila, what if you were given a choice to adopt a healthy and hearty girl as opposed to one who had a hole in her heart? Which one would you choose?” Sheila was completely thrown aback with the question because she was now caught in a dilemma. She knew her answer but wasn’t sure if Shekhar would give in and for good reason too.
Waiting…..
Waiting….for a glimpse.
The lashing winds from faraway lands
Murmurs to her of a love
That brings a smile to her hungry lips.
Every line etched on her face
Has a story to tell….
Tales of adventure and misadventure
Of pain and longing
Of joy and happiness
Of agony and ecstasy.
She shivers as darkness gathers around her
Remembering ….the warmth
Of that first embrace.
Arms that had engulfed her
With her sorrows, woes and tragedies.
A lost soul, floundering
In the maze of her life
Till he showed her….
A life of love laden days
Of respect and dignity
Of promise and trust.
She listens to the rustle of falling leaves
Mocking and cackling at her
Waiting…..eternally for a promise
Given in a moment of tenderness.
Her dark luminous eyes are pools of dying embers
Hiding in their depths her buried desires and passion.
An unfaltering silhouette,
A sentry of timelessness
She waits….for him.
Months, seasons, years roll into decades…
Yet, for her the hands of time stand still,
Mourning and yet pregnant with hope
She waits…..her endless vigil.
The lost novice
Lost in the crowd of the experienced many..
hard to know his trade,
He travels the street, walking bare-feet..
Treasure the journey, he has made!

On The Wall Of The Heart
On the wall of my heart a picture is hanging
When I look at the picture I feel like singing
But still I don't know why is this happening
Is this the time of the real awakening
all day long I hear sounds and think
is it the phone or my ears that are ringing
It never happened before and it's really freaking
me out Everything tastes the same that I am eating and drinking
Am I safe or am I sinking
Oh picture what are you doing
I am just a kid and still learning

The fading Good-bye
The soul wishes for a tryst with you,
you and me together far away in solitude.
Solitude and Silence shouts Schmaltzy.
The arrow struck the moon shattering it into pieces,
that falls on earth as glittering remains of romanticism.
Am collecting its pieces,
memory lane sheds a drop of tear.
