All 'bout you


Have you?
Can you?
Will you?
Ever smiled unknowingly while thinking of someone you love?
Ever loved someone so much that it hurt?
Ever been the reason for someone's smile?
Can you tell someone the truth even if it would destroy their life?
Can you tell a lie to someone while looking straight into their eyes?
Ever screamed until your lungs gave up?
Ever run until your muscles burned?
Ever cried until your tears were dry?
Ever tried until the last try?

Yes
I smile unknowingly when I think about them
Yes
I loved someone until it hurt
Yes
I've been someone's reason to smile
Yes
I have told the truth while I knew it would ruin a life
Yes
I can lie while looking straight into someone's eyes
I want to scream until I'm out of breath
I want to run till my muscles hurt
Yes
I have cried till my tears were dry
Yes
I have tried until the last try

You are the nature's muse
You are your parents' reason to smile
You will be your son's first hero
You will be your daughter's first love
You will be someone's knight in the shining armour
And you will be someone's princess in a castle

There's only one life.
Make it beautiful.

So I'll live.

Sometimes it feels like my world is falling apart and will collapse on me, crushing me with every breath I leave. So I try holding my breath hoping to hold onto life for a little longer. The world is already coming down.  Why don't I just give up the control knowing that giving up control does not necessarily mean I lose but, be free. Not of life but the responsibilities that life burdened me with.  I know I would still live on even after I die. My remains would still be there because somebody's new world would flourish on the ashes of mine.  So I'll live .  In the fragrance of a flower In a leaf's pale color In the whispers of breeze In a baby's sneeze I'll live  In a grain of sand In a farmer's rough hand Under a little dog's paw Who's digging with awe  I'll live.   In the laughter of a child In the tears of a bride In an athlete's smile Who just ran a mile  I'll live.   In an army ma

Old souls

Sitting at the far end of that cafe I glanced around finding nobody but the empty chairs. Twenty four chairs and twelve tables I counted. All empty. I found it funny how each table could only sit two people. Don't groups of friends visit cafes anymore or had this cafe become a spot for people like me? People like me, who sit alone at their favourite table sipping hot chocolate engrossed in a book. Who enjoy the peace and calm of being alone. Who want to shut out the world. Who want to write their thoughts out. Who want to enjoy their own company. Who don't feel at home in their own home. Who can't make friends because they're different. They're different for they enjoy one to one conversations. For they love to sit and talk for three hours straight. For they read as much as they can and discuss what they read later. For they love to recite poems and not filmy item numbers. For they love the soft instrumental music and not rock or pop or jazz. For the

The Old Times

Fountain pens. The old times. Very few people prefer writing with fountain pens these days. Gel and ball pens are ahead in the race but, typing is always the winner. Thought of something nice? Just type it in the notepad of your phone and you're done. Or just tweet it ! I observed that typing breaks the chain of thoughts and writing lets them flow. I have many friends who write but I have few who write. My mother has her own collection of fountain pens and I do, too. I consider myself lucky to get friends who still admire these beauties. Some ask ' why fountain pens when all the pens write the same words? '' 'Feelings, passion and thoughts must always be liquid, like the ink' I say. Gel glides but doesn't flow. You need to fall in love with this beauty to see it work its magic on your thoughts. These days fountain pens are so rare that all the shopkeepers tell me to find them online. The trip to the shop goes in vain. Fountain pens are to be
