Inner Voice

Days come and go
Dreams wither and threaten
Smiles elude and deceive

I keep fighting the lump in my throat,
I keep pushing the thoughts
Alas!!! It is happening again…
Falling into the clutches of boredom,
I am losing my sanity…

There is this voice in me
That keeps whispering “its ok”…
How will it know that its not…
“Keep fighting” it says, “not a form that it is, to fight”, I say
“Keep Hoping”, it says, “hope for what?”, I say
“Keep Dreaming”, it says… “There you go…”, I say
“Keep Smiling”, it says, “yeah, sure!!!!!”, I say
“Catch it”, it says, and throws a smile… I do…
And here I am, with a smile on my face…
Fresh and raring to go…

“Thank you dear voice”, I say, … “ I cannot hear you”, it shouts…
I smile and I say it again…”thank you”
An echo comes back… “Arise, awake and stop not until the goal is reached…”

Too late???

His pride took a ride, yet the fear for her, overbearing every rationale. The terrorists are loose in the city and the thought of her life in danger, however remote the possibility caused him to swallow his ego and ask of her again, “Please…” “I would rather be within the touching distance of a suicide bomber”, she said. Turning her back to him, she walked away, muttering, “So typical of him to think I require him now, as though I have not survived without him. I do not need him to feel secure in my life. I am happy and perfect and ….” “Are you?”, her conscience questioned. “Yes” “Stop lying to yourself at least”, her conscience countered. “I am not”, she a...

Ah! Irony?!

There are a lot of things going on in my head right now. All this resentment at being chained is growing in me, to the extent where it threatens to consume me. When things are fine, all these feelings are in a back burner, but at the slightest ripple, all these feelings surface, as a bubbling tornado and every time its as though they never went away. I can feel the blood rumbling, I can feel my eyes threatening to overflow, I can feel the anger in me ready to engulf everything around me. Yet, yet, I need to hold everything in. Life has to be simple, yet we complicate it, with people we surround ourselves with. I mean, even if we live on an island, we cannot really escape people, can we? Family, friends, relations, strangers - all are people, ready to pounce on us, rub their emotions on us and basically just willing to complicate our life. We cannot shut them out, nor can we let them in. Ask, talk, feel, shout, scream, wallow, cry - how many emotions and for what? Who gives a f**k about...

Tag - I, Me and Myself - Past, Present and Future

Answer them and then tag your friends from the blog-o-sphere. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged and you are all set. Yesterday Your oldest memories Amazing how things of past cling on to you as memories that last forever. And those memories drive us to live a life amidst every chaos that erupts round us. There are a bunch of memories in my casket, each extremely warm and beautiful. To pick one is likely to be a tricky task. C’mon, I need some help here, which one to pick??? Will pick a memory when I was about seven years old. The kid in me fancied climbing hills, mountains, trees, buildings. But for a kid, do mountains or hills or peaks make sense? I think not, or I remember, trees and buildings are something that I thought should be mounted with extreme caution of a monkey. And I was v...
