For days like these

By

There will be days like these,
You would not notice the smiling faces;
And not care for the cute kid around
Trains keep passing by in a blur,
Without making a single sound!
When chocolates don’t work,
When coffee does not heal
When sunshine gets gloomy
And breezes you can’t feel
All your strength just crumbles down to pieces;
 The slivers digging deep in your vein
You don’t know whether to stay or to go,
You feel the numbing of the pain
But it’s not gone; it still is there, to hurt you
 Every time your feet touch the ground
And every time blood gushes out of the wound,
 Every time you feel your heart pound.
It may heal soon, it may last long,
But on days like these, you will have to be strong
Because you my precious, is all you have
And giving up on you would be so wrong!
And for days like these we have tomorrows
Tomorrow where the promises live,
 Where wounds get healed and hearts get whole
For tomorrow has the answers to questions unasked
For many hopes and dreams tomorrow holds!
Hang on, even if by the thread if needed
You need to make it through this day
And past this day, you will win your battles,
I promise, my precious, if I may!

Mother of the chosen one

By
Now all is said and done, I am left with a blue scarf As that was one piece of cloth, they did not have to tear apart From the lady with a camera to my milk man Everybody asks me how I feel repeatedly What do I say to their questions? When words have failed me completely I want to tell them that I celebrated Like any other mother, when she was born I loved her when she held my finger first And I love her even now when I mourn She was a chirpy child like any other With her pigtails and eyes so bright And she smiled every time She got her maths sums right We had many sleepless nights When she was a child How we wanted her to grow up then To get rid of an adventure so wild How were we to know, that For rest of our lives we would never sleep she was our proud and honor, but her memory has  left a scar so deep I don’t know what they saw in her Or what she did which was so wrong To see her in the group of girls returning ...

Expecto Patronum

By
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...

Textures of an old soul

By
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...
