Cliche trivia #TheSameOldStory

As she stood there stunned and still, she could sense her heart plummeting over the heavy roars of the blood that rose. Her feet felt frozen to the ground and she badly wanted to run away. But she was hooked like a hammered nail, quiet and cold. There was only this one lad, but her eyes witnessed an army of men. She tried to decipher the flicker in his eyes… lust? Hunger? What was it? A heartbeat. And the proximity was dizzying. 



Ever been there?

Under the street lamp or maybe in the dark corner of a pocket road? Midst a crowded bus or your sweet safe home? The roadside sketching, the sleazy songs, the vague sense of wrongness of the grey haired uncle, and what more to add to the cart replacing the bubble list and the fairy shire dreams of your teens? 


The preaching and quotes never stand by in times of the sudden clasp. In a heartbeat you freeze. Be it a 5 year old or a 30 year old, your nerves go numb and you just freeze. And how shameful, we all have been here at some point in our lives.
The saga continues. More such mandatory shares for eve hood. Amidst the accusations and stereotypes, the hymn goes…
 WE EXPERIENCE A FROWNED SIGHT
 AND THE INTIMACY OF A STEREOTYPE
 WHAT ARE WE, THE AMAZING COOKS?
 OR THE MILLION DOLLAR BAITS OF CROOKS?

Rains And Ruins.

W ords should not be kept for later because they thrive on mood and my mood is nothing less than a pendulum, so I thought I should pen it down. It's not Monday today but I still got the blues. When I say blues, I literally mean the bluish tone in my otherwise curtain-coloured reddish room, along with the pretty melancholic climate. I hate the dark clouds that get clogged in the sky refusing to pour in, but I love when it finally rains. It's like the clouds have vented out their long-held pain. It feels liberating and very refreshing.  I don't quite feel like working in this climate, rather I would be sitting on my terrace, watching the rain, sipping tea (which I am doing even now to avoid falling asleep on my laptop). But the sad truth is I can't go up on my terrace, not at least for the next 2 months, the renovation works are going on and I badly miss the only beautiful, picturesque location in my house. The staircase bricks are cracked to build newer ones and there...

Love demands chaos.

You know there is always this little scar inside all of us. You are sensible enough to realize it wouldn’t stop with that single scar, but still you crave to keep it. The tiny scar that ships your love. It isn’t weird that you would sound crazy about this. Like you only picture it when you think he should be the one who makes that one long divine kiss of yours true. How it feels to know you are in a crowd until he looks at you. How he moves you and never let you forget your curves, the way he touches you and kisses your fingertips. Alas to let every women in the universe know you are with him. And he is yours. I say it with such conviction because I have felt it, lived with the scar. And never in a billion of the past memories have I felt something like it. And I am way over thinking it. Do I deserve the pain? No. Would it break my heart? Yes. But I just got to do it. You ask me for a reason. There are not many. It is only because my heart chose you. And eventually it has to be you...

//Apprehensions//

They say family is one such space where life begins and love never ends, and so goes innumerable slogans on the same. I would have surely nodded my head had it been few years before!  Blame time… for even time stands amidst certain apprehensions wondering whether to stand still or move along. At times I fancy only if people chose to stay for the right things happened to them and not leave for the one wrong thing! But the truth pricks me that things never happen the same way twice. Appearing alike countless others, it totally washed away a very strong notion in me… one for all, all for one. Reality strikes again! Bonds are built on needs and less on love! Your family gambling around your whole life… it does feel sick, but no one is spared… not even the tiny tots. The seeds of frustration is long inculcated in them, god bless the adults! Let down??? No way! I am not let down for I had vague ideas of the impending misery. When the leaf turns over, the lessons would reflect… sufferin...
