A Raving Reminiscence.

The lane is empty Except for the kacchi kairi Kacchi kairi strewn across on both sides. “What is kacchi kairi?” he asks. I turn to him, and give him an imploring look- See for yourself. “All I see is beaten, tattered, useless raw mangoes.” I give him that look again. I smile. I keep walking,Continue reading “A Raving Reminiscence.”

Ailing Fighter!

I turn the pages from the past, Memories from which have still not run fast. I write and edit, And see how my own words misfit. I wonder if ‘I’ really wrote that? And rate it again for being it so tad. And yet you call me a writer, While all I deem myself isContinue reading “Ailing Fighter!”

यादें

वो घुंघरू की जँकार वो झिलमिलाता ताल.   वो बजते ढोल वो सरगम के बोल.   वो थिरकते पैर वो नशीले नैन.   वो दिल धड़कता वो साँसे झूमती.   वो मन मचलता वो अनकही ख़ुशी.   वो ज़िंदा होने का एहसास वो ज़िंदा रहने की प्यास.   आज सब बहुत याद आ रहे हैं.

That Flower!

  Remember Monica and how clean freak she was?   Yep, I am compared to her often. And I have to admit that I am pretty much the same. I will crib when I will see that I have to sleep on the wrong side of the bed, or when the coffee cup is keptContinue reading “That Flower!”

I Am!

When Your Friend gets Engaged!

Wasn’t it just yesterday when we used to fight with each other for really nothing? When we used to fuss over the group projects, and who would do it entirely, while everyone of us would just take the credit? When we used to fight for notes? When we wanted to duck behind last benches andContinue reading “When Your Friend gets Engaged!”

Fact or Fable

Deep memories submerged within, Sweet, sad, happy and a little evil. Time elapsed, and I kept treading, Only to have thought, that someday I will lose every inch of it.   But today, despite the tiresome days and nights, A mere thought, a small talk, Even the tiniest prospect of the past, Passes a solidContinue reading “Fact or Fable”

And that’s how …#10 (Finale)

I just couldn’t leave the same day. Not after everyone bidding us adieu. I simply could not pack my bags again and leave the very day and separate from Miss. B and Miss. R too. So I decided to stay the another day. At least one more day with them. And hence the three girlsContinue reading “And that’s how …#10 (Finale)”
