As I Untie...

When my heart skips a beat
I take a step...but then retreat
Maybe it’s now too far and gone
And what is here, is where I truly belong

So set me free and let me rest
Return my soul with all my zest
Let me count my blessings more
And bask in the glory of all that I had ever asked for...

Once Upon a Time...

You are like the breeze that touches my face,
Which I can not touch back.
You are as eternal as the heaven,
Which never existed in my life.
You are as beautiful as a rainbow,
Which is but a trick of light.
You are the never ending melody of my heart,
A heart whose voice I cannot find
My soul is waiting to find you,
Come soon...

I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

No amounts of undying hope, denials and disbeliefs, stubborn non-let goes, could have possible done, what a blessing from above did; the reason that is making me celebrate this auspicious day as always. Touchwood!

Oh yes, a pure miracle it was! I guess, He wanted me to swear by his magic….and today, here I am, with a never ending thank you on my lips and my precious little baby Jeannie in my hands!

Who says blood is the thickest of them all???

I don’t and I wonder who does! When you can’t be taught how to love (they say love, attachments come naturally), then how can you monitor who to love more and who not too. Doesn’t that part come naturally too? Don’t you believe in 'connections'? That extra something that hooks you on to that someone, without whom life becomes unthinkable? Don’t know how and why, but it sure does happen to us all. Maybe, in different forms though. And when that strikes, all the ‘within the family, caste, religion, gender, nationality’, and even ‘species’ goes flying right out of the window! All you are then united by is plain, pure and undiluted ‘love’. And who knows, maybe in that one person or people, you may find your soul mate, the love of your life, the friends you can die for. Try me, I have found the love(s) of my life in those wonderful beings who defy every definition of human ‘likeness’ whatsoever…..My four tiny, four legged, absolutely astounding, thoroughly spoilt, blessedly awesome, beautifully perfect Dachshund babies- Archie, Betty, Mischief and Jeannie. Maybe no other being will ever be able to make me cherish ‘motherhood’ (perhaps, the prettiest emotion ever) the way my four kids have!
It's been 11 years today! Touch wood! Just can’t thank God enough for my little angels!

They sold me a dream…a dream that was my own!

Dreams, inspiration, awe...it’s almost magical! Bless them who are gifted with the art of creating simply stunning masterpieces like Rang De Basanti, Juno, 3 Idiots, Wake Up Sid, My Name Is Khan, What Happened in Vegas ( just to name a few), out of those many countless stories that were felt but not told, loved but not lived, lost but not forgotten.
It’s amazing how such films, make us a part of their stories, or rather, manage to tell a story like our own. For me, watching these make me find my own wings, that life at some point or the other had managed to pack-up and hide away from me. They make me want to dare, stand up for what I believe in and live my life my own way…no matter what that is!
Really, hats off!!!

And we thought choices made life simpler!

The problem of choice is a rather peculiar one. It’s after all THE BEST, competing against THE BEST! How weird! Neither is any option less and nor is any option more important than the other. Phewww…in short, it’s a rather frustrating complication….ask me, am stuck in the midst of a chronic one right this moment! Must be the repercussion of one of those dumb moments in life, when I must have wished to not have one single clog up...and so now, when this time around I get the privilege (read misfortune) to chose between two things, I have a rather clogged mind and a stuck up life to deal with ( as a result, of course!)….OMG, we human beings are really unsatisfied creatures…aren’t we???!!!
But well, even that realisation doesn’t make me feel any less frustrated! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Why should I be who 'I should be' instead of who 'I really am'???

I just can’t seem to get this…not now…not never! What is it about…is it about ‘typecasting’, or is it about ‘expecting’. Well, whatever it is, I so wish I could be counted out of it! Forget about it not being ‘my cup of tea’, it absolutely makes no freakin sense to me! (which I don’t disagree is weird, considering that I am a part of the factory that churns out million or more similar notions daily …phew!!!...but then again…).
But then well, it’s also true that I knew the answer to this long before I had even started wondering - I JUST DON'T BELONG HERE.Period.

Just soooooooooo hate goodbyes…

It’s just so sad to see people give up, having to give up, thinking of giving up. When you give up, a part of you is given up too…you lose it forever. It incompletes you with its going, it chides you with is absence, it pains you with its loss. And unfortunately, coz it was a part that made you YOU, its absence will ALWAYS be felt.

Unwinding is a privilege!

And that’s exactly what am here for! Have been blessed with a lot of experiences in life (the good and the bad), but well, the task of ‘expressing’ fell on my shoulders and that’s when I came looking for my speak-out space! So well, here I am, and here on I will pen down life as I know it!!!
