A Woman in the Making

Zindagi itni aage bad chuki hai Kuch bhi sochne ka waqt nahin Par jab bhi mein apne aap ke saath baiththi hoon Mujhe sirf tumhari hi yaad athi hai In tanhaiyon mein tum iss tarah ghul gaye ho Ki yeah rang dil se mitutha nahin Aaj bhi hum apni zindagi ke bare mein sochthe hain Toh tum aag ki simton se sulag kar aa jaathe ho Tumhari bahoon ki garmi aaj bhi mujhe thandak dilathi hai Tumhari saanson ki aahat aaj bhi dil dhadkaathi hai Kahan gaye woh din, jab tumhe mere bina neend nahin aati thi Kahan gaye woh karvatein, jo meri baahon se shuru aur khatam hote they Aaj iss akelepan mein ek baath ka faisla ho gaya Tum bhale hi kitni   bhi dhoor kyun na chale jao Kisi aur ki baahon mein panah kyun na le lo Mujhse mera woh pyar, tum chah kar bhi chcheen nahin sakthe Tumhara woh pyar, main bhool kar bhi tumhe lauta nahin sakthi

Most importantly, my MIL too is ‘ex’ now…..Wowwww! Now this is amazing ;) Many more can still be added. For now, I am basking on my happiness over the last point. :) 

Independence day. I remember it as a day when I used to rush to school early morning to witness the flag hoisting, collect Eclairs toffees in school along with the flag to be pinned to my school shirt, come back home and watch the repeat telecast of the Independence Day program on Doordarshan. And, my day was done. Usual homeworks, lots of reading for final exams, washing my cycle, polishing my shoes for the next day school occupied me for the rest of the day. This was it. My Independence Day. Today is Independence Day again. My day started over various facebook comments, newspaper articles, one or two Independence Day messages (because sms costs today), various  first-time recently-released movies on numerous television channels, forgot the most important part, caught up with lost sleep....just another leave on the calendar after continuous working days. So,  Am I celebrating the freedom? What patriotism have I displayed today? What does independence mean to me? And, most i...

It hurts when you don’t speak to me It tears me when you avoid meeting me My thought revolves around our times together So what if we don’t meet regular At times my mind rules my thought And suggests me not to talk But when I see your name in my mobile I dial your number listening to my heart Am tired trying all tricks to calm you My hope gives up after attempts a few But the only thought that fears me Is I should be there when you need me My belief persuades me going Your love keeps me luring With each passing day I realize You are worth the wait just as each sunrise
