Magic Moments

Every time I remember my school days, memories flood my mind, brim full; memories of different days and a different life altogether. Memories of the people from that glorious life and incidents that make me yearn to go back, freeze in time and stay a child forever. My childhood was a place of freedom, a place of comfortable dreams and free all-you-can-eat ice-cream and chocolates with the joy of a lifetime compressed in those tiny years. My earliest memory is of waking up in the wee hours of the morning, the pre -dawn incandescent tube light of the room opening my sleepy eyes, the bustling activity of getting ready for school and eating a small breakfast with my sister before rushing downstairs and waiting for the school bus, Mother yelling in the background to be careful not to jump in the puddles. There in school, in the company of my little friends we would listen to tapes and make clay bracelets, play in the mud, run around chasing each other, playing hide-and-seek and t

My Rant On World Peace

So yesterday I watched "A Mighty Heart" on Star Movies. And to my own surprise , I was left so shaken, that I started writing this in the middle of the night. The Rant Peace and love is the most sought after thing in the world. It's so sad, we're not even trying. And even if we are, we are not trying enough, like children, we are resorting to force to get what we want, even if its bad. And evil is outnumbering the good, or perhaps the good is not putting forward a good enough fight. If we as humans are fighting among ourselves, then what are we fighting for? And how long will we be having these wars? Until a large enough number of people come forward and make it clear, make the point that it's so pointless, and instead of signing fancy treaties and pacts that are revised all the time, we should just not fight. I mean, we are so cruel to one other, BEHEADING! KILLING! BOMBS, WHAT NOT! How long will we kill, in the name of God, in the name of peace, patriotism, reli

My WISHLIST

So I was lying on my bed this afternoon listening to my iPod , when I started thinking about things I really want to do in life, like a wish list . Here it is, Climb Everest. (Totally cliched, I know, but who doesn't want to be on the top of the world!) Skydive.(My dad's done it, and it's on video..just hope i do it without chicken- ing out!) And Bungee Jump.(Okay, maybe not, maybe ill faint just looking down!) Come on a reality TV show like "Moment of Truth" or "The Amazing Race." Meet and write a song and perform with any one of my favourite artists(Highly unlikely, but a dream's a dream) Live in a country home, you know, lakefront mansion, tea on the porch, the works. Go to as many wildlife national parks around the world. I do want to see the animals before they are extinct. Sleep in a four-poster bed. And a water bed. Drive on a road that never ends, not too fast, again on a country road. Hopefully. Learn how to dance, properly, any dance form.

"The Unexpected Return"

She was sitting on the beige carpeted floor of the motel room crying unstoppably like a baby. There were shattered pieces of china and blood all over the floor. Kim was sitting crouched in front of a corpse of a thin and hideously scarred man. In her hand was a small note, almost completely covered in blood. It read, “Kim I was innocent. I came here to see you for one last time. Your daughter is very beautiful, just like you, and Ben is a good man, just like you described him to me once. I wish you three a happy life. I won’t be here anymore. I am dying of lung disease. I love you very much. Goodbye.” Her husband Ben walked into the room shocked to see the sight before him. “Kim, Are you alright? What happened to Mr. Ross? Oh my god he’s dead!! Why are you crying?” She was not in a state to answer. All she did was hand over the note to her husband. He was clueless and even more confused. He embraced her to make her feel better and asked for an explanation. He said curiously, “do you kn

My Poems Continued

Almost Lifeless What is my heart's desire? Do i wish to stay, watch and wallow in self-pity and solitude? Should i surrender to all the forces that are keen to absorb me? Am I to leave, without thinking to sustain, uncaring and absurd? Where am I to go and where do I belong? The old past is forgotten, this deserted path is uncertain, and what awaits me is completely questionable.. I've lost my sense of self, lost all that rightness in my head And I'm devoid of an emotion.. Tearless eyes and a speechless mouth What am I to say or do anymore? is there an objective, or even a reason? Lost more than I could ever forget Loved more than I could ever forgive The distance ever increasing Pleasure and pain ever so fulfilling Where am I? Am i already dead, is this how it feels? Where have I left my heart? I need it all back now, it's more than I've got My life, my virtue, my everything Always Knew Knew it all, my past and my future, & I can't not wonder, it's not
