Flight of dreams


Today , for once, I am complete
And younger than I would ever be again
Today I am breathing happily
And I am free from any pain

Yes, I did make some mistakes
But this morning I woke up and I am alive,
Proof enough that I have been forgiven
So I would rejoice and revive

What I thought to be an end,
Is just a new beginning, it turns out
So today I will laugh out loud
And at the top of my lungs, shout

I will free the songs trapped in my head
And out of the cage, they will fly
I will hold their wings and they will
Carry me to the blue bright sky

There I will catch some clouds and
In my pockets, I will stuff them
If they get little ruffled,
My dreams will again fluff them

And you make sure birds are chirping
When I put my feet back on land
I have collected all the stars to make you smile,
 And I will put them on your hand

And you will give me shells you collected
On the blue green sea shore
They will sing to us the secret stories
We will laugh, and dream some more

And tomorrow if we wake up once again,
We will find a crystal bright dew drop
It will make the sun rise and shine again,
And it will bring to us new hope

But, if tomorrow is not my day,
Promise me you will hunt all I left behind
You will go to places worth going
And find treasures, I could not find


We are nothing but a ray of hope
And hope is what never dies
For what lives forever within us,
He is a fool, who cries


I am a part of you, and you are of mine
We will find each other again
Time is never enough for dream hunting
And life is too short to complain

Textures of an old soul

In 2008, I was in Sacramento, California. As excited as possible for a boring 22 year old nerd to be, I went exploring the city on my own. I asked my cab driver if the old Sacramento town was worth the time and money spent considering it was far from the uni. The cab driver, as all cab drivers do, started talking and to cut the long story short, on knowing I come from India exclaimed, “You come from Jodhpur you say? Why are YOU visiting old town? It is not even that old by your standard! Don’t you come from a city 1000 years old?” It filled my heart with joy and pride that he knew about my city and knew it so well. And I remember this story every time I visit my hometown. I always wanted to visit all those monuments back and relive my childhood memories. There never was enough time! Or let me say I never ran out of excuses. Since I have always stayed in boarding school and hostels, this place had always been the place you go back to with tired, worn down spirit. It has some heal...

Expecto Patronum

Something I know the HP fans will understand instantly. For others, there is a simple explanation. In life we all go through tough times. Some unavoidable, some self-created but we have them nonetheless. And as the cliché goes, you can either sing through the rain or get sodden and cranky. Not sure if that is how the saying goes but you get the picture! And in order to sing through the rain you need a happy thought in your head because let’s be honest! Getting drenched can get uncomfortable as soon as your socks and underpants get wet. That happy thought of yours is a Patronus. Some of us are better in retaining that thought than others. Understandably it is difficult to remember and relive a moment that happened long ago. However intense it was, one moment is probably not enough. That is why you need a Patronus every day! Set your mind on an otherwise insignificant but beautiful moment and try to carry that feeling with you for an entire day, at least for some time. You can’t c...

A feminist's half life

A friend messaged asking if I appreciate dark humour. I didn’t know what to say. That is the thing about turning middle aged without being prepared for it. I do not know how I feel about the things I previously appreciated. Other day I realised many of the FRIENDS jokes are bit offending. The character portrayal is a little messed up too. And I am someone who can talk FRIENDS. Amongst all this philosophy about age and humour, I messaged back saying I appreciate it if it isn’t too gruesome. In return I received a joke on feminism. From equality to women empowerment to feminism, the movement has always been laughed at and ridiculed. From witch burning to outright opposition and now ‘innocent’ jokes, we have certainly come quite far. And there are people who think we have crossed the line and littered away. You would think that this would come from men. Not entirely true. I am a financially independent woman who was privileged to be born in a family which has common sense. Th...
