Face and mind - Different :)

Sweet and romantic it seemed
The coverpage depicted a cute story
Quiet still passionate seemed the hero
Curiosly as I was reading it
With my popcorn and cola
It was the same mundane story
That was the day I concluded
A book can't be judged by its cover

Scared of the deep waters

A fish was naive and young
Prodded by the society and by her friends
Nervous of the depth and the unknown
Hesitantly, she took off her guard

With friends and family in a merry-making,
Unrealisingly, she went a little deep
Enjoying the initial adventure
Curiosly, she went in to explore more

As is always in the fables,
Soon the storm came rough and strong
With bruises on her body, thrown she was on to the surface
That was the day she stopped going deep

Floating on the surface, sweet and timid
Coconut-like, with heart feeble and blind
She treads the days and nights
Still scared of the deep waters

Life

I saw the waves come strong and high
Get scared, the fish came whispering
Remembering all the lessons I had learnt
Though unwilling, I decided to face it
Bruise, I had on my cheek, but came out just fine
Its memories I will have for long

My stories and fables run far and long,
The real one is known only by the one
I am scared, timid as well
It is just that I chose to stand
A little bit of luck helped as well
Everyone is essentially the same, it is just that life is about choices!

Recession...

Along one of the shores,
In one of the corners
As solitude hightens it grips
Silently I sit and whisper

It could have been better
It could have been worse
The present is what I have to live with
The future is what I have to be hopeful for

Not everything can be answered
Nor can all be explained
Hardwork is what helps me
Belief makes me stay

My heart is heavy
Mind is hammering
Seeing the impending weather
I pray with eyes full of hope!

Not sure what to do...

Pain - What if it becomes a part of your life. What if it you try to make it go but it just won't? In a way you didnt want to be but were chosen to be the one.
You try hard to let go, move your wrists as if it will disentangle the cuffs, the harder you try, the tighter they become and yes, there you are still in pain
Should you give up or still try? Trying might make it harder, not trying makes you a part of the system!

Worth the wait

It's been a long chase
More than people have in a lifetime
All that I want to say is
I hope you're worth the wait

Glimpses of you I've seen
Dreams of you I've had
Shadows of my past say
Will you be worth the wait

Together we'll be great
A quarrel or two we'll have
The relationship manager just said
You will be worth the wait

I need you now!

Read those lovely letters
Mesmerising messages that speak for themselves
All I felt was,
I need you now!

Long distance relationships don't work
Hate those long calls
Those tear filled eyes mean
I need you now!

Come closer to me
Nearer than my heartbeat
Let us become one since
I need you now!

Woman and Rights

People have varying opinions on how woman's rights have evolved. They have become powerful but why do I still feel it is just exaggerated. Why does the ordinary become the "extraordinary" when it has to do with women. You hear about stories of women in police, in men-dominated sports , almost all of us start feeling proud of them. But, if women are equals or dominate the society, why is it that this is still happening? More than that, given the different genetic make of women, what is the definition of equal. Does it mean equal work, well, can it be this way? If it is just respect, why is it that there is a blind fight. Maybe it is because we all come from the world where the only game is "turning tables"

Faith

I often wonder at how one can define faith. One simple word but turns your world upside down. Makes you want to believe, put you on the track, be cynic, make a wonderful future, forget past but does it really does all this?
Why is it that something meant for peace has actually caused wars, something meant for faith has led to ill-faith, no answers to it. I keep on my quest to know what it means, if not anything it would make me disbelieve faith. But faith is what helped me be what I am. How can I change that? Let me muse at it and I'll be right back...
