A MOON BREAK


The sun had sunk below the horizon and the birds had already sheltered in their nests. The wind was cool and so was the earth. The sky was enchantingly star-lit and the moon was shining in an unfathomable bright calmness.
The unsurpassed beauty was shining outside but a man was caged in the four walls, glued to the computer screen and straining the eyes, and cut off from the touch of nature.
His life moved with lightening speed on windows 8 or Iphone 5 or android but away from the healing closeness of nature.
Now the worry-stricken suffocated man came out of the four walls of his brightly CFL lit house. The house was brightly but artificially lighted. The outward shine of a swanky room did not nurture his inner being.

Now, he stood for a while under the open sky. He looked at the limitless sky and the beaming moon. The moon was kind to that restless heart. The silvery light of the pleasant moon fell upon him. The cool light of the celestial object acted upon his heart. All the cuts & bruises on his heart were healed. His inflated ego dissolved and he felt the soothing calmness of the shiny moon. He folded his hands to the silvery moon and realized that the warmth of uncle moon was next to oxygen when life was woebegone and miserable.

The moon was smiling and the tiny flakes of cloud were creating the ambience of heaven from the sky.

A V-day Musing: A Story


The first girl in my life who had taught me what the emotions of love are. The girl who had taught me that IT IS BETTER TO BE TRUSTED THAN LOVED......... The same smile is there although the teen-age-charm has fused with the matured look of a 32/33 year old modest lady. Appearances have changed but the memory has never. It is true that we may not value those moments. It has no meaning when life rapidly operates on windows8 or i-phone 5.........Your very words, 'TERI ARMANO KI ARTHI LE JAA' at first had broken my heart and then strengthened it so powerfully that now no girl could ever break me anymore. You have really immunized me from all girls (including my wife)........Years after when I saw the film  'ISHQ' , I saw that the heroine of that film had used those same words what had one day pained me the most . But I am thankful to you, dear, that your friendship/short lived love gave me enough understanding of life......And one thing I must mention that you write the best letters of the world. And it is from you that I learnt how to write emotional letters. All these things might not be any more in your memory. But I remember it because once it was very real to me. There is no need to remember them but I am happy that, once in my life, you had sung a song. I know your life was shattered after our love was disclosed. But at those times I was too young to handle the situation....... Tanha Tanha Yahan Pe Jina Ye koi Baat Hey......just I remember the occasion when I had first seen you. And it was Berhampur station when you had first met me......Today I saw the digitally highlighted photo on your Facebook account but truly that misses the magic of 1998. And then I also remember how lean and lanky I was in the past and you were at the height of your beauty but you had still loved me at those times. After our unhappy affair the best thing I practiced was taking regular exercise and that one thing was able to restore my confidence. Truly speaking, I had almost lost my confidence when you had severely scolded me at the Ladies hostel gate. But that incident helped me never break because a girl stopped you loving. One thing you should know about me. After we separated another girl from Navodaya was my beloved and she had healed all the wounds. 

Sorry I speak of myself only........tell me something about you......... 

I know you very well. You will remain silent to this letter. However, it is also true that in these days I have changed a lot. Now your silence will least affect me. It is because our unhappy love relation had taught me not to bother while a lady tries to destroy you in the name of love.  I cannot help saying that your life has so many sudden surprises that it will be really hard on your part to enjoy life as a normal woman. However, your smiling photo on FACEBOOK account somewhat indicates that you now appreciate life and you are completely healed up. Hope you will exist as a good friend to me.

FEW LINES ON V_DAY...

The winter had frozen me. I had been motionless and iced for some days. I was caught in cold aloofness of non-activity. I refrained from life. I hid myself in my cozy cocoon to save myself.Although I would peep into the world around occasionally,
I would soon pull back and preferred staying in the dark corner of some unknown place unnoticed and, thereby, keeping myself unharmed from the ruthless world.
In short, I wanted to become seemingly a non-existent being. So I chose to stay
in the blind spot of others.

But today is V-day and I shed my torpor because LOVE is in the air. Moreover,
love makes me warm. It melts the cold heart and rejuvenates my trust in the
essential nobility of human beings anew.

The sun shines and there are green leaves of grass. The spring exposes itself
in the falling leaves and a gust of wind moves them into some distance. The wind of LOVE takes away the dry leaves of misunderstanding and distrust.

HAPPY DAY OF LOVE TO ALL
IN ITS BROADEST SENSE.

An egotistical Jerk


A huge ego wrapped
In a respect craving attitude;
A domineering temperament
Always yelling -I am the great
And a heart craving everyone’s attention and love
Make my life a desert.
However, I shall boast of the desert
Till I mingle with the dust
Till I make myself the most wretched,
Desolate and forlorn.

And then you will hatefully write
On my gravestone......
An egotistical jerk
Who never gave a fuck
To the persons who loved him.

A SALUTE TO THE HEADLESS MARTYRS


Be cautious & be aware.....
Every where the greedy wolves are there
They tear your body and eat your wealth
They destroy your country in the stealth
Just making you a prey to their sheer greed
And the pity, you are unaware and deadly anesthetized;

Those wolves move around in many forms.....
They are the corrupt politicians who speak of economic reforms
And collude with the corporate tycoons
To sell your country in the glaring light of the noon
They are the shameless mother fucker
Kick them; boil them in the pressure cooker.

Ye the country’s youth arise and sleep no more
Know your rights, unite yourselves and show your power
Take the pledge in the name of those headless martyrs
Educate the mass, abhor the corrupt media and be a self-starter
Then walk together with the identity of a proud Indian
And gorgeously shine above all countries like China and Pakistan.

Innocent youthfulness

Beautiful prominent eyes and fleshy lips were the distinguishing marks of that girl who would blush pink at the mention of her name. Her smiles were the loveliest that would reveal a set of white ...sparkling teeth and would flood warmth like the most soothing rays of the morning sun..........

She will walk glidingly and so modestly that you will be just charmed by her innocent looks and finally you will draw the conclusion: Innocence is supreme beauty. Such beauty blesses you with the glimpse of divinity in man.

Be innocent like a child and the world will see God in you.See More

IN THE AFTERMATH OF DELHI GANG RAPE.


The bright sun in the blue sky and its light rays bring the same feelings in me, which spontaneously emerge when I see your warm smiles on your cute face.
To me you are a superb creation........
I know very little about you. Just yesterday, we talked and I started liking you so much because you were dignifiedly respectful. You make strong impressions on my heart because a man’s heart urges not only for love but also for respect.  And with your gentle behavior you invite my higher self to treat you and all women respectfully. You have made a permanent place of high esteem in my heart.
But today you hurt me intolerably when you scornfully looked at me like a rapper and refused to sit on my bike when I offered you a lift.  Your changed behavior may be a normal outcome of Delhi gang rape incident but I wanted to scream aloud, “O! Lady, you are running away from the solution. Have faith in the essential nobility in human beings. All your shouts and candle marches should not fire the revenge of one sex on another”
And most painfully I conclude, anytime a woman thinks a man may become a rapper, she kills the humanity of that man unmercifully.
