Memories are hard to die

Memories are so hard to die
How I wish some of them could be a lie

How hard I try to forget them
Clung like a thorn on a cactus stem

How I wish they would erase away
Like a cloth that rubs the chalk away

Memories are good and bad
Most of them make me sad

I have tried to leave them behind
But they keep poking my mind

Not one night passes without tears
They are the worst of everyone's fears

Filled with people, places and things
Forming pictures like a dead spring

Been running away all this time
Can it be called a real crime?

Every day I try to hide
How they could have just died

Memories are so hard to die
How I wish some of them could be a lie

Things that remind me of you

Movies in Sunday afternoon
uproar in a silent office room

Walking down the stairs
Holding hands ignoring stares

Having fun every now and then
giving surprises you know when

Walking on the wet sand
Holding each others hands

Bringing smile to each other's face
Sharing secrets face to face

Dealing with the world in our own way
Praying for each other every other day

Gone are days gone are the laughs\
Things that remind me of you
If only you knew.

Happy New Year

The Candy Box

Three kids, each with a candy box in hand. You go to the first one and ask for a candy. He holds up the candy box to you and you are free to choose whatever flavour you like to have. You try the same with the second kid. He flatly refuses to share.  You try again with the third kid. He doesn't hold up the candy box to you. He carefully picks one candy from the many ones in the candy box and offers it to you.  He gives you the flavour he doest like or the flavour he likes the least. You are free to take it or leave it. That my friends is called life.

The most beautiful hands...

The most beautiful hands are
Neither pretty nor pink,
Nor polished nor prim,
Nor soft nor shiny.
But are hard from the bruises,
Dirty from the toil and
Dark from the tan.
The most beautiful hands are
Worn to the bone
But work all day long.
They know of no fears
But have tasted blood,
Sweat and often tears.
They are neither small nor big,
Neither young nor aged
Nor idle nor empty.
The hands that grows,
Ploughs and tows
Are gentle from generosity,
Selfless from sacrifices and
Honest from hardships
They are the Farmer’s hands,
The hands that reap gold from ground.



Reflection...

For the first time in my life
I saw my reflection
not in a mirror
but in another human
of the opposite gender
thinks like me
Writes like me
Talks like me
has an attitude
That gives an ass
so frigging like me
How is that possible
a being so much like me???

What I miss most

What I miss most
is holding your hands
fingers on fingers
on lonely nights

What I miss most
is sitting snuggled
by your side
all warm & nothing to hide.

What I miss most
is your lovely smile
that makes me cry
every once in a while

What I miss most
is your beating heart
that beats faster
every time i am near by

What I miss most
is your warm breath
against my neck
that makes me smile

What I miss most
is not having you around
for every this and that
every now and then

What I miss most
is the time we had
together forever
and never to part

What I miss most
is your warm scent
that I no longer can find
in an empty bed next to mine.

One more night

One more night
is all I need to tell you
what made me fall for you
even when you didn't turn
an eye on me

One more night
is all I need to tell you
what made me sit in your class
even though you sit only with her.

One more night
is all I need to tell you
What made me miss my class
to watch you play in the field

One more night
is all I need to tell you
what made me walk home
while you walked her home

One more night
is all I need to tell you
Why I keep thinking about you
When you dont know my name

One more night
is all I need to tell you
Why I keep loving you
When you are so not into me

One more night
is all I need to tell you
You are one good heart & soul
That's why I keep falling for you

One more night
is all I need to tell you
And you ask me 'why havn't you?'
I say because love cannot be borrowed

Opportunity...

I cannot keep my mind from thinking about you
After all  the last time you came was long ago
What have I done to keep you away from me
Are you lost in the way to find me like before
How shall I seek you in these hours of despair
After all what is left of me is about to shatter
What more can I give when I don't have much
Been running away from questions that scare
I cannot keep my mind from thinking about you
After all  the last time you came was long ago
At last the day has died is it the end for me?
Should I run or hide myself faraway from all
Time is moving fast, faster than it should be
Come get me before its too late for me to regret
Here I await you like there is no tomorrow ever
You came at last and found me where I was
I Thank you for finally coming back to me
If it weren't for you I did long be gone

Today

Today I rise
While you fall

Today I speak
While you listen

Today I win
While you lose

Today I laugh
While you cry

Today I  run
While you stand still

Today I break free
While you are chained

Today I am born again
While you die yet again

Today I make my future
While you search your past

Today I conquer the world
While you lose your battle

Today I cry out of sheer joy
While you laugh at your madness

Today I Rise never to fall again
While you fall never to rise again

The Pretty Ones

Some got one
Some got none
Most got two
In a pair of hues
Black, brown & green
Uncommon being blue.

Some are set deep
Some remain hooded
Some like to protrude
Many like to upturn
Or go for a downturn
Maybe a wide set
Or a close set one.

Speaking without words
Is best what they do
Some remain silent
While others scream at you
And there are those
Who question you.

They are known 
To attract many
Artists, musicians,painters
Many a times they
 have been captured
Only for their beauty.

Some make it pretty
Some make it simple
Some make it scary
Most leave it their way 
They carry their
own emotions they say.

Lovers have known 
To stare at them for hours
To get an answer yes or no
While powerful beings
use them to intimidate 
the poorer beings.

In happiness or sadness
They like to get wet
They capture memories
Both good and bad
Whenever they feel sad
Oh how water flows
And blurs them out

Closing them is thinking
Thinking for hours
Is sleeping
Sleeping is helping 
Helping us fulfill
Wishes and dreams.

We grow they grow
With age they age
But some tend
To be stronger
Others go for another pair. 

Once they close 
Never to open again
We bid adieu
To our dear ones
And our world.

Near experience

It happened a couple of days ago, though it had started a month ago. I was getting calls from particular number saying they are from some job portal which randomly selected my resume from other job portals and was shortlisted for a particular job. The calls always came with noises in  the background. I never fully understood what they were talking about and I used to cut their call after a few seconds. This happened a lot of times. They call I talk for a second the audio cuts out and I cut the call. The fifth time they called the conversation was bit more longer. They asked what kind of a field was I looking forward to work and what was my preferences so as to help them filter jobs accordingly. That was it and then came no call for a couple of days. After two weeks I left with my family for a pilgrimage. Wonderful place I must say. A placed filled with so much of positive energy. When the wind blows at you from the holy ground you feel as if you are being cleansed. The winds, the soil, the air I breathed they carried a vibe which I haven't felt in years. I let myself embrace the winds of these holy grounds and I started believing in that particular source of energy. I gave my complete trust to the energy. I believed it was going to bring me good luck or better things ahead. It was on the way that I got a call from the number claiming to be from a job portal only this time it was a female voice. She asked me the usual questions said certain points from my resume to make me believe. The conversation lasted approx 20 mins. I listened and answered every once in a while in the first few minutes. Then she told me something which surprised me. She told me a major company had shortlisted my name for this particular designation. And I will be having my first phone interview with the company in 72 hours. I didn't quite believe the female. There was parts missing from what she said and I kept asking her a few things but her answers weren't really convincing. But I was happy to receive a call regarding a job that too soon after  a pilgrimage.Next day she called and asked me to fill a from online. Then came another call from the same number this time it was a guy who spoke and he was giving me instructions about the site and filling the form. Then came the twist I was waiting for all this time. Payment. There was something about his voice that made me clear that he was no guy from the recruiting dept. He was agitated and was forcing me to do the online payment then and there itself. The unfortunate thing was I did not have a fast internet connection that enabled me to double tap things.Dongle net. Their site took time to open. I asked the guy to call later. Ten minutes later the site opened and came the call. He kept pestering me to do the payment of 1500 bucks as registration fees.  I nodded and on checking it turned to 2000 bucks with the tax. He told me once you pay they will get me some job interviews in twenty days time but there was no guarantee that it would be a job of my choice. The payment tab was open in front of me and I was holding the card. The guy was beginning to lose patience. I told him I want to double check because I am not totally convinced. Something inside kept saying maybe I am losing it. I believed in the energy  completely. Then something happened.  The guy snapped and started blaming me for not doing the right thing. I decided to pay and  found that was net was down. Then my laptop showed me an error message that it was shutting down due to some unknown problem. I sat facing a black screen. I told the guy on the phone the same and he muttered something and I cut his call. I was sad thinking had a lost an opportunity? It was only in the evening that I got home and was able to access the internet from a faster connection. Thankfully. I opened Google and even before I finished typing the their portals' name came a list of complaints from various people  blaming the site to be fraud and the people to be cheats. Long story short. They call and ask you to do this and that payment till you reach a sum of 10000 and bang. You lose your money and hopes of getting a job. I read as many as 50 complaints from people from different parts of the country. They all had one thing in common. They were all duped of 10000 bucks. Then I slowly started to realize how close I had come of getting cheated by a bunch of A$%^&@* of my money. But it wasn't my brain that stopped me from doing it. It was something else. Something that came in the form of  some energy that made my laptop to shutdown for no reason and saved me. My laptop had indeed turned into my savior. I realized the power of the energy I was believing in. How could it put me down when I believed it completely and how could it betray me?  There was something beside me that moment for a second. I could feel it. It was a near experience with the supernatural or with nature or with something I believed in so much.

The healer's daughter...

Once there was a girl
A daughter she was
A healer she had for father
Who loved her dearly than any other

For eighteen long years
She waited for her man to be
None came along
For she wasn't the pretty one

She cried silently
In the night
Begging her father to heal her
Into the fairest maiden

He wouldn't let
His daughter change
For he feared of what his
Daughter would become to

Once there was a girl
A daughter she was
a healer she had for father
who loved her dearly than any other

Sad was her fate
when her father left for
all she could find was
his last written scribes left for her

She found her answer
the answer she was waiting for
She asked the scribe to heal her
heal her into a beauty unknown

But every beauty
Came with a price
A price so heavy
she couldn't pay it with her life

She screamed she howled
She moaned like wild hound
For days for nights
The villagers heard her cry

She was never to be seen
Only to be heard
At full moon nights
For a she wolf she became by night

The Way Home

I packed a little bag of mine
With everything that was fine
I wanted to look in my best
How I felt light in my chest

Oh home was my destination
After a long summer vacation
I stepped out to breathe the air
Eyes welled up dropped  a tear

Heart was swelled head held high
If only I had a pair of wings to fly

Time ticked by in thoughts I lost
Sweet voices soon began to frost
Then I realized of the truth I hid
Of the blood and murder I did

Memories came hitting back at me
Stinging me like a swarm of bee

Not everything was forgotten
Nor was everyone forgiven

Then suddenly I realized 
Where was home after all
Was it where my loved ones 
no longer waited for me with open arms?

For strangers they had become
Feelings for me had long gone numb
How I wanted to shout at them

Then I stopped, for home was not where it stood
Home was way back with strangers 
Who had become my loved ones
Who welcomed me back with open arms

Alter Ego

I have learned to live without you
after what you made me go through
It was a pain I don't want to remember
Which happened in a cold November

Leave me alone and begone
To you I am no longer drawn

 I have learned to live without you
after what you made me go through
I followed you like your slave
When I was afraid to be brave

You did not let me be myself
You think only about yourself
All you see is you in the mirror
I could not come any nearer

Leave me alone and begone
To you I am no longer drawn

Tried to be there for you all the time
You never had enough of your time
I still stood by smiling like a clown
All you have done is let me down

I have learned to live without you
after what you made me go through
All you did was give me tears
In all this long passed years

What started has come to an end
You were never a very good friend
Understand this very well
I don't care how you dwell

Leave me alone and begone
To you I am no longer drawn

You no longer make my heart swell
No longer I am bound to you by any magic spell
I am not the poor little girl you met
Who you treated like your pet

Leave me alone and begone
To you I am no longer drawn

 I have learned to live without you
after what you made me go through
Never come back asking for forgiveness
After turning my life into such a horrible mess
No is the only answer you can best guess

Leave me alone and begone
To you I am no longer drawn

Leave her alone...

I don't know when she was born
Mother of all evil as she is known
Weak be wary for she can make you do wrong
for she doesn't go for the strong

They kill for her they steal for her
 leaving all space for them to err
For how she controls your actions
she tears you inside out into several fractions

Noticed how you change around her
for she has made your thoughts to blur
How much more does she need to fill inside you
she is chewing you right through you

Find a way to kill her pretty soon
before she casts a spell in rune
Don't let her seeds grow inside of you
Go save yourself take my clue

They kill for her they steal for her
 leaving all space for them to err
For how she controls your actions
Tearing you from inside out into several fractions

Now you have destroyed her
things are back where they were
Now don't you call her back
For jealousy is best left off the track

Beauty Personified...

How he smiles down at me from high above
Beauty is all in he now

I catch your face every now & then
When you are no longer bound by them

How you shine among other men
you are truly the gentleman

How you change yourself  from time to time
only to charm more every time

Follows me all night when alone
wherever I go
Showing me the path
 a true company for the lone you are

I see a little of you in every day
most at night while searching my way

You fill my room
fill my heart when I am gloom
and what more can I say

Your beauty is admired greatly by many
promising a piece of you to his lover 
rather than his  money

How you have changed 
in all these years
Are all just lies to my ears

You are a charmer they say
Inspired you have many
Many more to come you will

You are wonderful in white
Red when you are puts away the light
you are the way you are
round white with pits and patch

Oh beauty personified 
I like you most in your crescent light





Someone like you...

I want to forget the day I let you go
to be with someone
to become someone else's

 I cried a lot wanting you back
Alas there was no way you could turn back
Oh I cannot change
what is done is done for your sake

I could just die then & there
Oh boy where could I run

It is your wedding day
you are with someone else
how I try to be happy for you both
In your little growth

Will I ever find someone like you
for no one can replace you
This isn't what I wished for
If only you were there when I open my door

I fell in love & was blind
How the time breaks what it binds
Till yesterday you were with me
now you are with someone else away from me

 I cried a lot wanting you back
Alas there was no way you could turn back
Oh I cannot change
what is done is done for your sake

Everything between us is just a memory now
happy days have long passed
I see the future
just me without you

How am I gonna be just me
When it used to be you, me and we

Will I ever find someone like you
I will find someone like you
But I won't let him go
This time I will let him know

Friday, 24 May 2013

Uncontrollable One....

He finds me no matter where I go
He always manages to give a blow

I tried to keep him away from me
but he always manages to find me
Tried to beat him in his every play
After all he is one of the life's way

His presence is a pain to the heart
Now I don't know where do I start

No matter what I feed him within
His hunger is never satiated within

I try to hold him calm deep inside 
Somehow breaks his way outside

Felt the blood rush through my skin
How I wanted to break a few things

Eyes well up, tears are flowing down
If only tears made a river to drown

Words are bitter and voices all dark
Had I snapped and made a big mark
If only I had took control of it before
Then things would not have been sore

For great are those who control temper
That is something I shall live to remember

Queen of the night....

Its half past twelve and the moon is full
I peep through my window & feel the pull
I see her walking the lane draped in white
She walks effortlessly the queen of the night

Many men may follow her never to return
What a hard lesson they forget to learn
Beauty is all that she is a spirit gone wild
How they follow her innocent like a child
She makes you want her again and again
Promising to take away forever your pain
I see her walking the lane draped in white
She walks effortlessly the queen of the night

She lures them to the shadows of the hour
Finishing off one after the other by the hour
Her long black tresses rise and fall in the air
She looked more beautiful than ever I swear
Time is up for her as night dissolves into day
She hurries to the nearest tree where she lay
Waiting for the night to capture another prey
She smiles again thinking how they all betray

Love Lost & Found

I found you after a very long time
Love was never such a big crime
This time I am not gonna lose you
For I know what I am going to do
I made a choice for the both of us
And it turned out to be such a mess
I found you in here & everywhere
I mentioned you in all my lil prayer
I wanna strangle them to their death
For they made me hold my breath
All this time you were kept hidden
For you were called the forbidden
How I had to break the hard rules
They me look like a complete fool
Found it hard to forget you so soon
All it gave me was a bloody swoon
He gave me a second chance at you
Now I am confused as who is who
I am ready to seek you yet again
This time I want to forget the pain
So I am going to try it once again
I don't know who is going to gain
Here I am again where I stood
But alas I have lost you for good
Hopefully we meet again someday
For I know love is no child's play
Why did I find you If I was to lose
Who else but you alone can I choose

Left out....

It ain't fun when you're the left out one
Trust me I know it better than anyone
Been there, seen it and damn I felt it
All it does it pull down your own spirit
Thought about moving towards the door
Not once but a thousand times and more

Seen nobody who could hold my hand
It was very much nothing- like I planned
Everyone was with someone or the other
How I wished to run away to my  mother
Standing like a poppy in a paddy field
I wish I could hide under some shield

Oh they make me cry they make me sigh
All I could do is to ask myself to just lie
I am afraid of being alone in a crowd
Like the sun hidden by the dark cloud
You may try & take the light out of my life
For you cut me open by and by like a knife

I wish to breakout and speak openly alike
I realize I am not the one holding the mike
Fight is between your words & my thoughts 
I try not to lose for you are calling the shots
I ain't gonna give up now never or ever
I shall change to be better or best forever

Either I shall become the best in the lot
Or I shall stand alone & be most sought
It ain't fun when you're the left out one
Trust me I know it better than anyone
I ain't gonna runaway this time from you
Because this time you will know my view

Waiting for you...

You came  through the open window silently like a thief
On a cold rain-less night and you washed away my grief

You became my regular visitor every night since then
I eagerly sit up at nights thinking you will come when

Your one cold touch is enough to give me the chill
I feel like I am on roller coaster going down the hill

But there is something about the place you come from
Because you smell of  flowers that make me go numb

If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have those beautiful sweep
Oh how with your gentleness  you lull me to sleep

How the room feels empty and dull in your absence
But I feel full and lively in your mere presence

Nowadays I am missing you greatly in these hot nights
Oh cold winds of the night I keep waiting for you every night...



The hunter...

The hunter, a silent, visibly scarred man stood staring at his prey, the prey being a sixty nine year old male. He could taste the fear emanating from the old man’s eyes. He waited till it was completely consumed in its own fear. The time had come. He drew his sword back. The prey begged, “Please don’t kill me. You are a God and Gods don’t kill.”
“I am God, just not the regular type,” replied the hunter. And down came his sword. “May your soul rest in hell,” and the hunter left leaving the prey to rot.

Dark of the night....

 I walked alone in the dark of the night
 Searching for you in every left and right
All I see are some pretty stars and a moon
But I keep walking hoping to see you soon
I hear an occasional buzzing and a hissing
How I try to pretend it may be that or this
The winged riders of night creep me out
I am trying very hard so as not to shout
I wait for you to jump at me now or then
But all I do is count one two three to ten

Something touched my feet while I walked
Donno what it is for my path it has blocked
I turned around to move the other way round
Not very pretty ground to walk alone I found
I carried a torch which blinked one or twice
Never before  my hands felt so cold like ice
Why is it that I have been walking so wrong
What is that I have been searching for long
I see a pair of eyes staring glowing like gold
I did rather shut my eyes coz I am no bold

I walked alone in the dark of the night
Searching for you in every left and right
Finally I stopped feeling sleepy & tired
For nothing more could I have desired
Then I wished if only you hadn't left me
Then I realized it was I who left to be 
After hours of search I see a familiar face
Finally I had found you with God's grace
How you saw me and leapt at me with joy
You are one naughty ball of fur oh boy...

Last days............

The days are passing by fast
Don't know how long will it last

Time has come for me to tell you
But I am afraid I might hurt you

Things are poles apart nowadays
Feeling gone are the good old days

How can I be away from my heart
for you keep me from falling apart

Remember the laughs we shared
Now I am pretty much scared

How I wish it could last longer
But time is now such a stranger

Days spent with you were the best
Those with you are truly blessed

How I wish to hold you badly
So as to say how I love you madly

Coz when you love someone
You don't want it to be undone

The days are passing by fast
Don't know how long will it last



Tuesday, 16 April 2013

You and I...

I look forward to meeting you each day
For I fear I may lose you without a say
I calmly wait for you to pass by my side
So I can glance you with my eyes wide
I sit in the corner watching you by & by
Thinking if only you knew with a sigh
I don't like it when they stare at you
For I know deep they are no way true
There is something about you so nice
That makes me lose myself in a trice

You live today like there is no tomorrow
This attitude of yours I like to borrow
You stood by her side when no one did
I wonder can a person be really this good?
You are hard to read from inside and out
Your eyes speak at times without a doubt
Mornings are no fun in your long absence
 Hope not to miss you in your mere presence
I remember the first smile you had for me
Which made me feel weak in my knee

A month and seven days has now passed 
Alas today you finally got up and asked
"Is there something I should know?"
And I realized my cover was gonna blow
I did have it for who else but only him?
My chances of escaping seemed slim
I tried my best to hide my sudden emotion
He could understand well my every notion
Then I realized what a fool I have been
For I was blushing red from head to chin

Eyes met smiles exchanged hands held
A thousand roses in the air I smelled
Coming  to reality I sat down to think
It was then when he gave me the wink
I found out it was no bloody dream
For now we were in the same team
You are no open book I know for sure
But now I know you got a soul so pure
And moments later I asked him what now?
"Together forever with thou from now..........."

Dream On..........


Don't let words put you down
dream on my darling...
Words may come snarling
Fear not my darling
Life may come as a challenge
Fret not my darling
Many hands may deny help
Snap not my darling
Doors may appear closed
Grieve not my darling
Don't let words put you down
Dream on my darling...


Love maybe hard to find
Give up not my darling
Time may not  favor you
Whine not my darling
Tears may come running down
Shy away not my darling
World may look darker
Runaway not my darling
Don't let words put you down
Dream on my darling....


Blood may let you down
Doubt not my darling
Every right may look wrong
Every option may look taken
But remember my love
Dreams are born within you
And die only when you want to
For dreams choose you
To take you through
For what waits for you
At the far end only for you

Wednesday, 3 April 2013

No Matter....

No matter what you are
however far you are
You will always be at par
I love you with my heart
for I can never be apart
 For nobody is gonna
come and tell me
That I cannot love you
The way I love you
For you live within me
And die within me
For you are ever mine
As I am yours
Till time ends within me...

Deep Deep Down....

I fell down
deep deep down
I touched the ground
the wet cold ground
I walked back
way way back

 I saw the town
the big small town
around came the clown
the mean old clown
laughing his laugh
mean odd laugh.

I walked around
all the way round
I searched for him
really thick and thin
for he was my knight
my only knight

I saw no light
but I had to fight
nothing felt right
everything was quite
I sat in fright
holding myself tight.

then came he
As I hoped he did be
I saw the smile
his beautiful smile
he hugged me tight
seeing my plight.

I looked at him
everything  still dim
he lifted me up
way way up
towards the light
away from the dark
like a piece of rope
 for he was HOPE

Yesterdays...

Walking in the rain I think about yesterdays
When life had its own ways,
When one could go anyways.
When every thing was simply a beauty
And all you now do is your duty.

 Walking in the rain I think about yesterdays
When there was love in the air,
With everything just and fair.
When love was not a commodity,
For everything now looks an oddity.

Walking in the rain I think about yesterdays
When important was being together,
For lonely was certainly not better.
For relation was so precious,
Everything was considered gracious.

Walking in the rain I think about yesterdays
When happiness was without any pressure,
For it was the most cherished treasure.
When words meant truth,
For everything now are lies to sooth.

Walking in the rain I think about yesterdays
When innocence was childhood.,
For everything was so good.
When nights were as safe as day
For now everything looks astray.

The First Meeting....


I saw him first
On the thirty first of August
On a moonless night
With only a lamp for a light.

He wore orange and black
And stood some feet back
Eyes glittering in the dark
Like a burning ember pack.

I wanted to shriek a cry
But my voice went dry
All I could do was
Stare him in the eye.

He stood still like a pillar
For he was a cold blooded killer
Time was passing by
And I let a little sigh.

Night was dissolving into day
Both wanted to go their way
I wanted a picture of him
But the light was still dim.

I turned to get a torch
From the downstairs porch
And then he was gone
I let a big loud  yawn 

Thinking  how eight legs
Were faster than two
After all he was a spider
And I'm only a writer.

And we called them animals.....

Recently a particular news paper cutout posted on a popular social network shocked me. I found it very hard to digest the news but it was the naked truth. The cutout showed a picture of two small puppies and horrors of horrors a large black King cobra people, King Cobra coiled next to them. The report followed as follows. Two puppies fell into a dry well and were found by the King cobra who stood guard not allowing anything to Harm  the two little things. Everyone knows a King Cobra very well. It doesn't stay guard looking at its food.As time passed and people noticed the yelping sound of the puppies, they were as surprised as I was. They could not believe their eyes. A King Cobra and two puppies unharmed. the snake was actually guarding the two ones from any kind of attackers. The snake slithered away once it was sure the puppies were out of harm's way. And hopefully someone did rescue the puppies from the dry well. This made me think how easily animals were misunderstood. They had a better sense of understanding than us-the so called humans. At the same time when we look at ourselves what are we becoming. Where are our senses disappearing? Animals are slowly becoming humans in emotions and in thoughts whereas we the superior beings are not even fit to be called as social animals. We are becoming more like them and they like us. Animal Kingdom enjoys far more peace and prosperity compared to the human world. Where have we missed the train?  It is high time we rethink ourselves whom are we calling animals-Us or Them?

BAgs,baGS & BagS

Recently I grew an obsession for sling bags aka cross body bags. I love bags. they have a purpose and it is good to have a few options  I was particularly in search of u shaped sling bags which were a daily part of dresses once upon a time.  I watched old movies where the heroines used sling bag wherever they went. it was kinda neat and trendy.  As my job involves a lot of walking on foot and gng place to place I found it difficult to carry handbags. All I carried was a pen, a letter pad, tissue and my purse. So started my search for the ultimate sling bag. found many, wasted money, but didn't find exactly wat I was looking for. So I let it go. Waited for the obsession to ease down. But there is something called  temptation. that doesn't go easily. There is the temptation to check out bags at every online store. Compare prizes, keep searching. One partcular bag caught my attention. It was almost like it was calling me towards it. I kept checking it and I kept dropping the idea. I waited and waited. Then thought why not buy it after all. And guess wat happens. They are sold out. Wow. this shit happens to me all the time. So  i wasn't much surprised. Out of stock/sold out. Things like tat kept coming up. I gave in. Let it be. but pretty soon i was back again. Searching for the ultimate bag in sling bags. And alas I found it at one of the online stores almost after a month's gap. I didn't go for any second thoughts. I saw, I came and I conquered. Now this beautiful Teal  colored bag is totally non detachable from me. I carry it wherever I go. It goes well with all my dresses be it be ethnic or casual wear. Love it and here comes my obsession of bags to an end.
