Her Divine love

She doesn't know why

All she could, is heave a sigh

May be she has to wait for one more life

To love her love as his wife

Weeping in a dark corner where none could see

Kissed by pains and tears

And she now hopes

A shaft of new hope, kiss her toes

Her heart aches making a cacophony

Knuckling under the symphony of fate

Slowly her heart is getting an armor

And pains can break her no more

Often love is sublime when incomplete

Pure, elegant and neat

And when it reaches eternity

It's no less than true Divine 

Her lost love

Knowing that her man, a pilot was engaged to someone else, she couldn’t resist crying. She was in anger. She was in pain. She lost faith in others as well as herself. She sobbed bitterly sitting in the dark corner of the kitchen. She regretted for the mistake she had done by loving him unconditionally. A number of thoughts were lingering and her mind was in fluctuation. A chaos of emotions roared in her. She wondered how she could be cheated and there was no justice.

Her father was worried about his only daughter and claimed she would never think of him again who wasn’t loyal to her and that she would move on with life. He was old and in a trembling voice, he asked her to untie the knot, the knot of his memories.  He strengthened her with courage and was ready to stand by her.

Her fumbling attempt to forget him constantly went in vain and she gave up trying. Her shaft of hope and dreams were now dismissed. She heaved a sigh. Finally she dropped the idea of falling in love again and decided to remain as a princess only to her father!

After fifty long years, he took her to the place where they used to meet. His tears rolled down as all those moments he spent with her flashed before his eyes. He took her shivering hand in his and said “I love you forever!”  

With difficulty she got up from her wheel chair and shouted “Who are you? Take me home now“. 

“This was where you fell off the staircase and lost your memory. And I thought seeing this place might help you a little to get it back. Our home is thousand miles away!” he said to himself.

The tree

I am the tree, the soul of the forest green

Without me, there's no life, I ween!

My trunk furnishes your home with furniture

And my barks, a home for birds and creatures

My roots lie deep into the earth

And the green creepers decorate my girth

I stand by the summer's burning heat and winter's sleet

And offer you a cold recede

I catch the rain droplets, take the Sun's heat

Offer you with nuts and fruits to eat

In autumn, my golden gown starts to wither

Wait for the spring to cover me again, in shiver and somber,

My leaves form a brown bed, up and down the street

Whispering and rustling under your feet

You stop and lay in my shaded grassy ground

The breeze lifts you up, a soothing sound

The beam of my beauty reaching the azure sky

A shelter under me and heaven is nigh!

So, look at me, before you hurt me and raise your weapon

Cos, I am the handle of your own coffin

I am the tree, the soul of the forest green

Without me, there's no life, I ween!

Alone in an island

If I were to be alone, only me

Let me be by the serene pacific sea

Let me live on those cliffs and the beach

Where the Sun and stars seem within my reach

Where the caresses of the waters plays over my tranquility

The whispers of the breeze comforting me

A home in an island with no foes

And the small fishes with love, kiss my toes

Where the waters crash the white smooth sand

And the emerald hills lay beyond the land

The seagulls, urchins, quill fishes and the winds

Listening to the peaceful song the island sends!

Living by the sea among nature, life just seems so right

Among the lighthouses, green and the blue, life is simply a delight!

My secret wishlist for Santa

Christmas always reminds me of the gifts, sweets, celebrations, carols and of course the Santa. As I have done 10 years of my schooling from Convent School, I now miss celebrating Christmas.  This feast always reminds me of my school days which were the golden days of my life. I miss every bit and I secretly wish I could go back to those days.

It is my all time dream to live in an Island  away from the worldly world. I want to live with Mother Nature among the trees, creepers, the chirping birds and the flowing waters. I want to build a home in an island and a small hut would also suffice! Aaah.. that awesome life among the greenery! That life where I can get drenched all day in the rain, a peaceful sleep  among the woods, the wind in my hair, the morning breeze almost freezing me and I sit with a hot cup of smoking coffee watching the scenic beauty! Yes, I am indeed a great lover of nature. So, dear Santa I want you to gift me a hut in a small Island!

Next, being a big fan of The Big Bang Theory, it has been my dream to have a special dinner with Dr. Sheldon Cooper aka Jim Parsons! I know you will laugh at this weird wish of mine, but it’s all right and I really want to. So, please give me an opportunity for the same. His smartness simply kills me! And yes he always cheers me up, every single time!

Next, this wish isn’t for me but for a few people on this earth. Now I want you to feed their brains with a little bit of knowledge that we all are Indians and humanity is the only religion. It’s so humiliating when these people differentiate on the basis of caste, creed, region and language. Please, I just want you to break these walls. Just provide them with a little common sense that nothing is greater than love and we all are Indians irrespective of these barriers. Inject this thought and make them more broad minded!

Although you might feel these wishes of mine are frivolous but whom else do I have to ask other than you?  Having revealed my secret wishes to you now Santa, you might ask me if I am crazy and yes of course I am. And you think I would say- “No! I am not crazy. My mother had me tested!” ?  :P

Now that I know I am a grown up but there are some things which really don’t change!
See, when I was a child I would ask you to give me chocolates and sweets but now that I am grown up, I am demanding more! :P 

P.S: I have many more cute secret wishes like these but I want to keep them a secret for the following years to come! :P 

Dashing through the snow,

In a one horse open sleigh

Over the fields we go

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob tail ring

Making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way!

Oh what fun

it is to ride,

In a one horse open sleigh, Hey!

Jingle bells jingle bells

Jingle all the way!

Oh what fun it is to ride,

In a one horse open sleigh!!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year in advance! And now it is your turn to prepare your wish list for Santa!
