The Girl- Part 2

The world started fresh anew,
When again by chance, I met you.

You were still the same... perfection personified,
And then I knew I cant live without you.

This time for a change, you showed some warmth,
Atleast made me think, I still got a chance

The feelings however were not very strong,
But being the optimist, as I am, I always thought life still had a chance

So after many friendly talks and laughter riots, I finally decided to bare it all,

The reason was simple, a fearful thought: "That one day some man will snatch my soul, that had already become yours afterall"

I could not bear the thought night long,
So in a sunny afternoon, I opened my heart, and let the feelings flow out like a stream

They sang, they rhymed, they spoke in soft tones,
They told you how emotions had gone so strong.
They were the feelings my heart had kept, for so so many years at a stretch.

You kept calm, and listened all along,
You neither smiled, and neither cried,
But listened with an intent all the while

With Bated breaths, and thumping heart,
With fingers crossed and shivering legs,
I waited silently, to hear words from you!!

I still vividly remember what happened after that,
But the words cant describe few feelings in our life!

Some oh so Good, some Oh so Sad!!
I still wonder why language has such shortfalls afterall!

The Girl

I was a lonely soul, in the cacophonous world Living in a solitude no-one could ever understand. The life held no charm, thinking why I was breathing all along. On the outside however, I pretended to be a sport all along. And then one day, God remembered me....I saw you!! You were a reserved girl with an aura around you An aura which made me... so so long for you. You had a look in eyes, which made me crave for you, But you ignored me, in a way I have never known. I had a feeling, that I could impress any girl, But surely it was broken, in no uncertain term Slowly you entered my life as a very simple friend, But still avoided my glances and advances, making me look as a failure all along. I was sometimes mad, and sometimes sad, Thinking always,what could have probably gone wrog. What mistakes have I made or whether I dont have the charm Whether you were too orthodox or too arrogant to accept me as the person I am. I spent sleepless nights, I spent sleepy days, I watched many couples ...

The Boss-ism

A stroll in a company, public or private, In a minute you make out, who the bosses are, You know the boss by the look on his face, By the way he walks, or the way he talks, If not this, then by the behavior of else, Whose activity changes when ‘the boss’ walks through, Some gladly smile, some pretend serious work, Some become nervous about what happen next, So what is it that makes them differ, from the ilk we call our very own: The employees. When the employee becomes manager what happens then? Why does he forget to behave as an ordinary man? Well I don’t have answers you can surely understand, An answer will be due when I become one! Well I too have my very own boss: The story may be similar for many or all. He walks into office and a sulk consumes the floor, A talk with few and their mood becomes low. He glances around with so inquisitive looks, Analyzing who is doing what! Oh how much he wishes he had eyes at the back, But god still has mercy upon his fellow...

A Trip to a Village- Part I

Image
  Diwali has always been an occasion to celebrate with your near and dear ones. However, as the flight tickets cost did not suit my meagre financial allowances, my holiday plans went kaput. But as they say, there is always light at the other end of the tunnel, my thoughts were interrupted by the loud ringing phone. It was my Praveen’s call. Well, he had a plan already made out for diwali holidays; a visit to his native village nearby. So, I and another of my financial constrained friend, Anuj, decided to accompany Praveen (PD) on a two day trip: The trip to Kondetu village. Praveen (PD) left a day earlier due to some prior  engagements. We boarded the already booked KSRTC bus, which as expected was running one and half hour late within Bangalore! Nevertheless, this delay failed to dent our high spirits, firstly because we were going as a guest/ mehmaan and secondly because we were not paying for any of the trip expenses. The whole trip we assumed was being planned and pa...
