Lessons Of A Lifetime 2008-04-25 14:04:00 You taught me to be born
To die and to be born again
To hold onto you in storms
And to swallow all the pain
When I wanted you to go
You would never let it be so
When you made me bleed
It was you who found a cure
You made me cry in misery
Till all the tears would dry
Slowly you helped shape me
Many a time I asked you why
In your circle I am confined
Nevertheless happy for now
And hopeful of Read more:Lessons

At First Sight 2008-04-29 14:32:00 Standing on the pavement, she waved frantically, at least as much as her hands full of shopping bags would allow. No taxi was vacant. Sweat trickled down her brow and her consternation seemed to be reaching its peak as she started cussing under her breath, looking at her watch about a hundred times every minute.
He stood there, tall and handsome, watching her and smiling to himself. He was Read more:First

Short Story : Dumbstruck 2008-05-08 13:45:00 It was a hot, summer day. He was drenched in sweat as he waited for the bus. Damn the municipality, he thought. The air-conditioned bus stops are not yet ready and here summer has touched its peak. He was running late for his appointment with the dentist. The root canal treatment was proving to be more painful and expensive than he had anticipated. Well, too late for that now. He was almost Read more:Short

"Idle"ize Thee Mind 2008-05-22 12:39:00 Solitude can be therapeutic at times. After a long tiring day of being tossed about in the hustle-bustle of life, spending a few minutes with ones own self seems like stealing some precious curio from a museum. There is something inexplicable about the feeling when one actually is alone without being lonely and is absolutely content at heart at that moment. With all the commitments and
Equal A Sequel! 2008-05-26 13:49:00 Hey friends! Hope you all are doing fine. I am sorry I have not been around much of late,was first moving house and then later when I got back online, not been able to get back to the bloghopping mood. My apologies for that.

This Day...Last Year... 2008-05-31 14:57:00 This day, last year
I set off on a journey...
A journey that took a while to get a pace
And to find its path
Many twists and turns had to be faced
But then, what is a journey without a twist?
And here we are going on smooth
Our bond growing by the day
Love you so much and thanks for everything
From you I have learnt a lot about myself
Cause of you life opened many a vista for me
Happy Birthday
The Reunion 2008-06-04 16:28:00 He still admired her beauty
She still had those memories
"I want to marry you", he said
Her heart skipped a beat
She would have given anything
To hear those words back then
Now they meant nothing
Her angel had given her life
When he had just thrown her away
Silence was all that remained...

They Equalled A Sequel! 2008-06-10 13:50:00 There were in all five entries for the Equal A Sequel contest. First and foremost, I would like to thank all the writers who took the effort to complete the story Dumbstruck. Each entry was unique. Though I had told I will post the three best entries, I am posting all of them here (in order of submission) :

Connections 2008-06-16 14:16:00 Somewhere a star twinkles so faraway
Wonder what message it has to convey
From your heart to mine it reaches out
Bridging the long distance throughout
Words are meaningless in comparison
To this silence which has not a reason
The knowledge of togetherness is bliss
Conveying volumes when life is amiss
Feelings play in the lap of separation
Bringing with them many a sensation
A strange awareness
Short Story : Confined 2008-06-23 08:35:00 It was one of those days when everything just seemed to go wrong. She wished she could go home right away and soak in the tub and absorb herself in some book. The phone had been ringing incessantly at work and she was fed up of answering the same queries again and again. She had reluctantly joined this job because there had been no other option. It simply snatched away her social life and left no Read more:Short

Short Story : Wedding Night 2008-07-07 09:27:00 They were the talk of the university. Never had there been such a couple, so much in love, so mad about each other. Mark and Sue had it all; understanding, love, commitment, trust, and every ingredient needed for a healthy relationship. They were the best of friends, who were simply made for each other. After graduating with flying colors, both landed jobs in reputed companies. Though immersed in Read more:Short

No title 2008-07-03 17:30:00 The world is quiet, not a leaf stirring
Silence so still like a pristine canvas
The voice of it skreighing like a bat
Lost here I am, without any compass
Beneath my feet lay many a quagmire
To evade which I have to keep going
Not a moment to waste in reflection
Run I must for the sanity of my being
Voices aplenty, their sources unknown
Each beckoning me in its own direction
Suspended
A Tenth Thoughtful Thought 2008-07-01 01:00:00 Alone we come into this world and alone we go

An Evening In The Dunes 2008-06-27 06:45:00 Few weeks back, I went on a Desert Safari. It was one fun-filled evening! Here are some pictures I clicked, with a bit of poetry added to each :)
The dunes lay so calm and inviting
Ever mysterious and so beckoning
Come lose yourself in us, they say
Serenity lending the mind astray
A roller coaster ride in these sands
Simply thrilling, so full of romance
Relying on the skills of of one man Read more:Dunes
White Flowers 2008-07-20 04:52:00 Seems just like yesterday, when they brought you in. I had woken up from a nightmare just then, only to realize it had not been one, but brutal reality. It was the dawn of a new week, but for the two of us, the world had just come to an end. They covered your face, I begged them not to. For me you were still sleeping peacefully like a child. So many rushed to lend a kind shoulder. Such an irony Read more:White

Just So You Know 2008-07-17 09:05:00 You mean the world to me. You are not better than the rest, but the best, my greater half without whom I am incomplete. With you, I can be myself, devoid of all inhibitions. When you smile, the radiance lights up my face. When I hurt you, I hurt myself even more. Your silence is a punishment worse than a thousand whiplashes. Your every gesture I have treasured in the chest of life. If I
Sometimes 2008-07-14 03:54:00 Sometimes, everything goes null and life seems a chasm. What seemed gold at first turns into tinsel on touch. There grows a gaping void within, threatening to engulf the self in its wile clutches. Such moments are shards of glass, embedding themselves into the soul, stubbornly refusing to budge when healing scalpels try to dislodge them. Tears stream, leaving scarlet trails. Not a hand to Read more:Sometimes
Sifting Memories 2008-07-10 04:33:00 These moments are precious, these moments in time
Cherished memories etched on the parchment of life
Some felicitous, some lamentable, assortment of both
Reminiscent of tinkling laughter and at times of strife
As I turn pages of my life, these moments gaze back
They ask many a question, and give many an answer
Sifting through memories with the sieve of my mind
I try to discard some, preserving
