My life was a beautiful one before, With friends close to me to boast. When in trouble,or when nothing seemed right,I had this dear friend,who made me feel alright. Words of solace, a shoulder to lay my weary head, This is what I used to find, when in need. But now, everything’s changed, And I don’t know who is to be blamed. My friend’s gone […]
It’s a rainy day, A lot of thoughts in my mind weigh, There are things I want to say, And all sad thoughts I want the rain to wash away. I don’t have many things to do, So I look out and enjoy the view. The pitter patter of the rain, Drives away all my pain. The tiny droplets fall, Make me forget all. I […]
Hi, I have been lying here beside her bed for a long time now. Every night before going off to sleep she tells everything about her day. Telling me her highs makes her feel proud about herself and sharing her lows with me makes her feel better. She shared with her dreams and her inner most feelings. This has been her daily practice for a […]
Copyright: The Reclining Gentleman I remember that day from two years ago when it had started. It was my routine to sit down on the bench by the lakeside after a tiring day at work. I had no friends in this city. That was when he came and my life changed. Before I could confess my love for him, he told me that he was […]
There was a drought in a town. As there was no rain for a long time, all the elders of that town decided to gather together to pray for rain. A lot of people came together to pray and among all those people there was a little girl who carried an umbrella while coming to pray. Some people laughed at the little girl talking among […]
“Come on Ma you can do it”, she said as I tried to walk without support for the first time after the terrible accident in which I had fractured my leg. I was doing well so far but suddenly I missed my balance and slipped, and she came rushing towards me to stop me from falling. “Good progress for today Ma and don’t worry about […]
They said, “You must do this, you must not do that, You must not be thin, you must not be fat. You are supposed to be this way, For your life is governed by what people say.” And I did what they said, Walked on paths that everyone tread. I have now become a clone, I’ve forgotten the dreams I once called my own. But […]
Sometimes when I’ve nothing to do or sometimes when I don’t know what to do, something happens and it takes me back in time. Memories are the best part of one’s life. I go back in time to the times when I was a child. The first time I went to school, my first song, my first dance… Those friends of mine from school, the […]
Wish I could fly, And reach a new high. Wish I could be, The real me. Wish I could run, And have some fun. Wish I could smile, While going that extra mile. Wish I could hear, To the voice of those who are near. Wish I could talk, To someone who wouldn’t mock. Wish I could soar, Aiming for more. Wish all these wishes […]
