covert affair - Haiku

A Haiku 5-7-5 written for Haiku Heights - Prompt # 98 - Covert



appeared Care in veils
flashed out of the Bolted doors
vice Covert Abuse!

“
  • There is numerous kind of abuse. Yet not always yelling or hitting hard is only left abuse. Someone might just ignore you, be rude and rough with you are considered equal cruelty. And obviously you know that you are being insulted for nothing and utterly abused!
  • But covert abuse is subtle and disguised by actions that might appear to be normal, at times loving and caring. Covert abuse leaves you with doubts, insecurity, feelings of foolishness, jealousy and acts of mysteriously strange frightening.
  • Yet most of the time one never take any action against it, being in uncertainty of circumstances and fluctuation partner's behaviours. They are simply so unsure due to their own lack of insight into their feelings.Same things get repeated and the situation gets worst.
  • Though such victims may experience the abuse on every single little moments turning into weird issue. They will still keep wondering if abuse is occurring at all, indirectly weakening the bond of the relationship.

Sometimes words are not enough - Thoughts to ponder

This beginning of new month December, a venture for every week on Thursday is dedicated to the beautiful month November I had. So I shall call this venture as 'November Rain', showering just the best of every thing in the coming days!

“When he was trying to praise her, he tried giving examples of little beautiful things in life existed. Not that he was comparing but he was making an attempt to give the best suitable definition.
Such was the beauty!

“When she was upset and crying in pain, she could not speak her sorrow or explain him, how badly it hurts! Only this she said was, ‘one understands only when one is going through such betrayal’.
Such was the pain!

“When they were celebrating the sweet moment of life together, they smiled, blushed and blessed. Unparalleled moment of joy couldn’t be described in words!
Such is the happiness!

“He stood by her side in rain and sunshine. She would have broken if he was not that supportive and encouraging. Appreciating and saying thanks in words are not enough for the care taken.
Such is the gratitude!


Indeed there are many instances in life when you are actually dumbstruck.
It’s not that you cannot talk or speak fluently. You certainly think a lot. There are infinite thoughts and boundless lines for that one feeling you want to put across. But honestly you know that you just miss words to put in right sequence to reflect the best of the feelings.

You wonder about grammar, adjectives, adverbs and beautiful synonym to convey certain thoughts.
And you a literate though nothing seems generous and you are literally lost in such awe moments!

The best of purest strong emotion are supreme and unreasonable to be depicted in words.
Any form of example set is just not adequate, making it difficult to describe the emotions! There are millions of harmonizing influences of inspiring words and more multiplied sacred sounds in different languages, yet they are not just sufficient sometimes!

The feeling to miss someone badly, cannot be explained in words how deeply one cares.
No poetry or song can explain the love one has for someone, who only prays for the best; loved one should posses. May be this is the reason; despite of many accomplished creative work of arts, pious souls painted, writers wrote, musicians composed... people are still trying best to invent new lines, recreate the fascination of aura with decent definitions for the ecstasy that might just replicate the true state of mind and heart. (I’m also striving and struggling each day to express the best way I can and this post is again one of my sincere effort to put across my humming thought..)

Sometimes just one word touches the heart cords and sets the whole attachment into a strong bond. Words are powerful and can instantly change life. Words can hurt and words can heal. But beyond the powerful realm of words and valuable sounds as a strong form of expressions. Whether within our own thoughts, verbally spoken or in written form, we stand sometimes speechless with grace in eyes, glory in soul and prayer in heart portraying true emotions.

That’s the time when, words are just not enough to express the best true sentiments!
One must learn to differentiate between text and thoughts...
Not everything which is written or read is actually felt, yet every single thought that passes through your mind in the split of second signify feeling!

Perhaps, the gestures and a simple attitude that is moving and are sometimes just more than words to add that missing warmth in hearts and leave a mark on memory.

It's when I don't require speaking my mind.
Because frankly I’m in a right mind state and won't be able to say straight.
And I don't want you to wait to listen to my narration!
All I need just a warm hug and a sweet smile that mend my day.

And just in case if I give you a hug first, hope you see that smile with a blink and understand the whole motive behind the simple affectionate act.
While words fall short to convince the feelings, gestures speak often aloud silently!

Love is a dream - mini Love Story

This is a series of love. ~ For I don’t Hate-Love Story!
We met and I knew you would fall for me.
Well that was my presumption; it went the other way round.

But then he did call yesterday morning.
He asked me out, but was it a date? I was so confused then...

~ Cafe ~

As fixed time and place, we met in a cafe and sipped together our first coffee. Ever since then I had been a big fan of coffee though being a tea-lover. There was no guitar tunes or piano rhythm, still the thumbing of my heart beat was enough of artful music to excite me.
Looking around people sitting and having a good time, I looked dumb struck with lost words to start the conversation. Usually, I'm quite a talkative person and getting into any conversation, giggling comes easily to me.
But don’t know why I was feeling so conscious then!
Isn't it right to hang around with friend? LOLs! The beginning itself is so screwed with this friends tag!

“It’s a beautiful day!” I instantly bluffed believing that he will ignore my dumbness right that moment, since I'm not like this always! .......ahhh Today, was definitely so special and speechless I was proving it every passing moment!

I liked this guy for several months and we used to hang out with our other friends. We were not really great friends but sure we shared something uncommonly common between us that today we are sitting facing each other sipping coffee.

Of course you were responsible for that, I murmured without his notice.
“Now, he had good sense of humour, was smart enough and had excellent conversation skills. This guy was hot! This is definitely a bonus to everything!”

It was a slow start but it had that magical spark which can be proclaimed as a good talk.
We started sharing our few remarkable life incidents and few embarrassing moments too. I was surprised to see how he had planned the whole day. A coffee time, followed by a lovely movie latter some shopping to still keep me up lively and finally a lavishing dinner at my suggested restaurant.
Ah! It was not just the sweet friendship...sure it was more than that any fool could make out. But neither I’m a fool nor am I smart enough to believe on pretentions. Until he does not say it...I get into no concrete conclusions.
“If you love me baby, you got to show me and say me simultaneously that I’m being loved!” I stick to my old rule-book.

At the most I assumed that he was truly a gentleman and sure treats any lady with charm and care, ultimately which is the most important gesture in any kind of meeting, and I appreciate that truly!

~ Shopping ~

We decided to go for the shopping first. Actually it was my decision. Why to keep the best for last?
So moving on to the best part of the day, Shopping!
First time in life, I thought I had nothing to buy, I had everything....ahhh let me complete my whole filmy line, “I need nothing to buy since I have you, My Love!”
Well I did buy little stuff here and there on the streets.
And he was helping me by holding the shopping bags while I was still busy in bargaining.

I was just trying to divert my mind from the coffee table.
Every time I blinked, I saw his eyes.
I was so much occupied by his thoughts and this was creating a complete new notion of emotion into me. I cannot take it for granted; when this sweet guy has asked me to only hang around like good friend!
But honestly ‘ignorance is bliss’ sometimes.
That hide-n-seek of acknowledging my feeling for him while I still pretended looking busy in shopping was so beautiful. I clandestinely looked at him from behind the shopping bags. It was beautiful to see him, how he didn’t get annoyed moving with me from one shop to other and finally buying from the first shop I saw the stuff earlier.

Between this was also a good way to see, what his taste was like.
From shoes to earrings, I took his opinion on everything. His positive outlook was shining! I was having a great time and it was a good day for him too. That’s what I presumed anyways, it was his plan to take me for shopping!

~ Movie ~

Then moving on to the movie, which movie...Ah! Just any mediocre movie, he just wanted to consume the time schedule. What an efficient act! I thought, he wanted to spend some good time with me and watching movie, sitting next to each other was a beautiful endeavour.

Whatever could have been his thought, I still feel it was one of the best times so far.
Sitting next to each other, giggling and often trying to find a chances to whisper into ears to get closure!
It was so cute!
And just when I was enjoying that darkness of the hall with some splits of light rays of the movie, I felt something. There was a sudden current running into body. It was the damn touch of his rubbing shoulder. Secretly, I wished if he would hold my hand, play with fingers...But I think I was rushing into my expectation. It was just by chance a little touch but it made my day I guess.
Who watches the movie when you have your crush sitting next to you that too so handsome one? I loved the way he brought pop-corn, coke and water for me considering my preference.

Moment by moment, action by action, all the while he was proving to the best! I was already so impressed.

And while the movie was still running into its pace of the climax, I was busy dreaming about our future together. How we gonna live together? How will our family react to our decision? Which dress will I wear in the wedding reception and finally how our kids gonna look like?
Everything seemed so right with him around. Was this moment like ‘This is it!’
“How was it?” he asked me shuddering my hand.
The movie was over so as the dream.
And my brain is genius making real movies out of nothing. Welcome to reality, gorgeous!

~ Dinner ~

Way to our dinner!
I was still dreaming, couldn’t believe I could think so much.
"How could you...?" I yelled!
He bewildered looking at me asked what was I asking! I replied softly, ‘Nothing!’
Goodness! I marvelled so much but the fact is I don’t even know that is this my first date or we still hanging around as “Just good friends”!

We reached the restaurant and ordered our food.
Mean while, just summing up the day and cherishing good moments.
Now it was dim lights, delicious smelling pasta and awesome crisp garlic bread.
"Flirtini" for him, which is a flirtatious cocktail with the elegance of Champagne and vodka with the fresh, muddled pineapple in the tulip. I just wished if he would be a less gentleman all the time and flirt light with me now after drinking this cocktail.
We ended our dinner with ‘Death with Chocolate’, a kind of dessert within itself blends chocolate ice cream, syrup and dash of vodka and coffee liqueur and tops off with whipped cream and a cherry.

It was a soul satisfying food and a superb day supposing ending.

This is a day which shall be cherished throughout my life, I wonder. If it is a date than then there are still few more surprises to unfold. But if we are having a good time, I just wish and pray to have more of good time together. Well that’s like an optimistic, I praised thyself silently but craving for more!

~ Back Home~

He being a true gentleman came to leave me till my home almost at the correct time considering my family would worry about me if it gets late. Streets were subsequently busy. It was almost dark and street-lights were quite bright for the late-evening. We smiled a lot. And I blushed a lot. I was just pondering how he could not notice this glow on my face while I talk to him. Or is it just too much of expectation for the day. The day was perfect and I couldn’t ask for more.

One star was shining bright in the sky in the east. He handed over my shopping bags. We like good friends, said good-bye. That was good enough for a beautiful starry night to start with twinkle reverie.

Just when I reached my home, I realised I was still into the little moments we spend together whole day.

Well I couldn’t ask for more as promised but I could dream a little more.
Same like it happens in movies, I felt like singing, dancing and flying high. I opened my balcony doors. The night was really beautiful with cool breeze blowing curtains.

Was it a date? Will we spend time together again? Are we really just good friends? Such weird numerous questions passed my mind in a split second.

And my phone rang, it was him,
“I forgot to tell you, I had great time today with you!” he said.
This is it...he is a man with few words indeed!

“Even I loved being with you..I mean it was a good time!” I said desiring him to say more, something really sweet...
“I...umm...I..truly like you..ever since the day we first time met.” He said after a bit of pause.

And a hidden beneath piles of ignorance, plea heard.
I was in such an awe phase that I couldn’t utter a word and spoil the whole love scene.

I wondered dreaming in the dark silent night. Only thing which was not right at that moment was that he had not even any wild idea that I had fallen for him.

...Cute love story have many Comical moments to Celebrate and Cherish.
And further the worst thing was that I was dreaming and there was a dream into my dreams.
Cute love story usually have many comical moments.
And that’s where my own cute love story unfolded.
A center folded miracle which blossoms into dreams of bliss...!
Love is like a dream which cannot be explained!
Strange yet sweet are those dreams!

Talking to you is like

This beginning of new month December, a venture for every week on Thursday is dedicated to the beautiful month November I had. So I shall call this venture as 'November Rain', showering just the best of everything in the coming days!

“Talking to you feels like summer vacation,
In the park playing on swings-set, slides and seesaw!
How much I loved going up on the swing with a slight push you gave...
And when the gust of cool breeze rove in hair replicated the same emotion each time you said a word in my ears...Oh! I didn't know it was secrete, you meant and I assure you, I did maintain!

And when every time my bare feet go up on the swing brushing softly the green grass below...touching the blue sky above almost the sunset horizon,
It seemed as if each word you said was an echo for a while in the aura!
Your simple stories with such poetic lines conclude with crystalline sweetness sublime!
Leaning for love and value for life's more overlooked oozing little joy of that summer evenings!
You said ‘Say that you can sing too’, urging my soul to shape up a little more
But I saw, you sang more than you said...proclaiming silently that ‘You're blessed!’
And I say,‘You're the best!’

Years fluttered yet feel like Yesterday..

Same summer scent, same breeze and same blue sky with same soaking rain of tears standing under the tranquil Gulmohar tree!
Without a blink I see, I feel the whole wonderful notion right in front of my eyes.
Me dancing and you singing the tune so incomplete yet with a merry melody node,
As I grow old they say memory does get lost slowly but Ah! I bet some memories never fade!

Never thought you would turn up as a serious sincere singer some day
The silver lining nights lines, surprisingly singing sweetly as sunshine!
And I still see my breath believing in you,
And my heartbeat dancing for you,
And thyself tapping feet at your guitar tune!
Vibrant vibrating guitar wires with your fingers,
Roaring proud to see you, sitting in the first row
Watch my little star, childhood sweetheart grow as rapture RockStar!
But to me, you still sound like a song to me...while you say those small silly stories!

Picture above is taken from the movie 'Rockstar' featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri

Winter Whispers



Autumn colours seems to be waving away
I brace myself inside the warm brown coat!
Some invisible incredible blossoming branches
Robin on the window singing for the frozen brook,
Small days and longs nights, climate's finest change!

Crisp orange autumn petals drifting
Light flying leaves heap in corner of lanes
Inviting winter wind to sway away sorrow
A cold wave of warmth of festive on its way
Watching wide-eyed miracles winter spreading!

Wind-chime clatter shall spark revolutionize
Into delicate jingle bells rhyme whispers
Now at the end of November countdown begins
For Christmas there are only 25 days left
Let’s count sweet moments and celebrate life!

Vibrant healthy Thanksgiving Day shines
In the mid of all expected stir bustle
Gives me a mini breather
Silent holy nights hope angel to watch us
I’m thankful to be together with all my family, friends and people!

Celebrity Crush


Please do READ Part 1 of this post..Meeting a Celebrity


“Another hypothetical situation my friend said...
Imagine if some fine day we together get a chance to meet Salman Khan in person...what will happen..??!

We for a minute tried to visualise the aura and in started describing....

“We two girls shall get a chance to meet Salman Khan in a show and we go to see him. He is on the couch sitting and waiting to meet his two big fans. We enter see him, say ‘Hi’ to him and latter to start a conversation we start describing him, which movie we loved watching in which he has worked. With a non-stop notion we continue to discussing about his movies, songs, sequence, acts, style and so on..."

A casual and an unplanned conversation which was supposed to be cool and calm with no panic attack ends up actually hyper. We girls wonder shouldn't a celebrity be happy and excited listening thyself brilliant stories live from his fans.

Yet we assumed that same time watching his fans, Salman Khan gets bored with our constant talk about movies and songs. He puts a thought to think and act normal. Hence, behaves just as a normal guy tries to divert our girly conversation and makes an effort to know about our _fan's life, our daily routine life is like?

We reply, that’s pretty boring topic to talk about us, how about that movie you have worked in...We continued bluffing! Ultimately we shut up Salman Khan from talking and ask him to listen about our girls talk. We indeed are busy talking about his movies and much detail of the scenes and dialogues that we of course have by hearted.

Salman Khan gets bored, irritated simultaneously and leaves the room at ones.
Amazingly We THE Girls are still constantly busy in discussing and chatting about the songs and expressions of the movies of Salman Khan.

The crew of the show rushes behind him and asks him to please continue the show. At last Salman Khan breaks his silence and says ‘Hum toh anth mein Bolenge’(We'll give our opinion at the last..)(a dialogue from his movie Hum Apke Hain Kaun) and walks away”

Ahh! Nothing stands strong not even daring Salman Khan can stand bravely against the constantly chatting girls.

Perhaps, a dream comes true with a twist.

Between, what it’s like meeting a celebrity.
They might behave much calm and toned down. Indeed, now we realise we are not crazy to meet Salman Khan yet we insanely wish to meet ‘Prem’ the character hero of the movie, Salman Khan plays.

So let’s expect when we meet our ‘Prem’, he won’t come like walking, he is our hero...NO! He is our super hero, and hence he shall come swinging over the chandelier with his catapult armed with a ‘genda phool’(kind of flower).

And just when I was going through internet surfing to get the best picture I could add for this post it was getting so difficult as each and every photo was excellent and heart-throbbing. And lately then my eyes were glued to see few pics. All the while surfing internet, I was wondering about the beautifully shot scenes of Salman Khan movies. Few brilliant shots of the movies, you will notice in Heart-Beat Love Connection - Series of Love poems on this blog Humming Today!

There is still a lot to share...well wait for the Next Post....you might just fall in love with Prem aka Salman Khan again..and again...just like me...Watch it on this blog in his Birthday, 27th December,2011 for the second part of this post... Yes! It's exactly after one month...
Because 'Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet!'
So do wait for the sweetness and a sweetheart post!

Meeting a Celebrity



Watch this video and tell me watching it what do you marvel...

What if we get an opportunity to meet Salman Khan in real?
My friend asked me in a casual talk.


I gave a thought for a moment, pretending to give a reply in with a concrete plan of action.
Yet finally sharing a feeling how it would feel to meet Salman Khan in real.

“It’s a dream to meet him. I think it will remain a dream.” I said with a conviction.
To this my friend replied that “don’t lose hope, there will a day in history when we will sure get a chance to meet him, talk with him at least for a while.”

I smiled at her thoughts and again started sharing my moment of truth would look like.

“As I said it will be like a dream come true.
Salman Khan shall be sitting next room waiting to see his fan, I shall be prompted to go ahead and meet The Salman Khan. I shall take some long breaths...really long one then few really steps, with heart beating at the highest pace. A little knock on the door with a slight push to the door and only head leaning into the room to get the glimpse of an actor quickly before I could actually bring my dream in to substance of reality...


And I will see from a distance into his eyes...his deep warm eyes!
And just as his eyes gets my little glimpse across the room from the half opened door...I sure shall faint on the spot!


A great actor with a golden heart, Salman Khan shall ask the other people around to take me to the hospital and he will go back to his work for shooting a movie.

Ahh! I dream to meet Salman Khan shall remain a dream forever for me!"


Its an absolute delight for any fan to meet his or her Celebrity crush or idol and when the big day arrives what...can happen instead what should happen!

Well I know normally you will say...what can happen?

There will be a calm hand shake with a warm hug and a sweet conversation shall take place between the two, the admirer and a celebrity.
Is this all what can happen...well I think if it is so normal...than normally I must get nervous! I still get those shivers with a thought itself of meeting... ;)

And we busted into a huge laughter!

And to my surprise my sweet friend prompted something really funny again.."Seriously, wonder why Salman Khan does not know that we Two girls do exist in this world, who are such a well-wisher and marvel only about him every single moment of life."

The Picture above is the wallpaper of the popular Hindi Bollywood film 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' released in yr.1994 featuring Salman Khan aka Prem.

Best page in my Book of Life


Reading a book
Ruffling pages of life...
Caught up in a disquiet sight
Forgetting often things significant
A simple thought that flows
Starts in the morning
Following the sunshine
with a cool breeze,
Transcend time
And a space to unwind!
Hang around for hours
Celebrating weekend
Good friends
Cuppa coffee
Cheers to good times
Good conversation
Few silly little fights
Patch up instantly with hi-fi
Moment a true triumph!
Delicious meal together
Dessert we sure agree upon mutually!
Pulling legs and crack sally jokes
It's the greatest rejoice
True feeling to share
Certainly I care
Let’s celebrate
Good time ahead
I end reading the puzzles of life here...
A morning thought concluding hopeful
In a shining starry sky
Blessing good dreams
Ruffle Shuffle more pages
Best page in my book of life
The chapter Friends are in my favorite list!
Moment to cherish
Moments creates memories!
Makes life worthwhile!
The above prose is written for Jingle Poetry at The Gooseberry Garden Poetry Picnic Week 14 covers the idea of thankfulness and its many facets in one’s life.

Quick Salad recipe – Thanksgiving Special

W Winters or summers, salads have no restriction to be cherished. I relish salad always since predominately I know they are healthiest form of eating vegetables and getting vitamins and minerals. But what fascinates me the most is it not just healthy, fresh and rejuvenating but it also can be in just few minutes. So quick to make and eat healthy.

Since, Thank-giving day is round the corner and a season of holidays, we need to spend more time with family and cook healthy for them. This is one recipe which can be transformed into so many variations creating new flavours to suit best to your taste buds, (written below in Notes*).


I’m here sharing a basic version rich in Vitamin C and nice sweet-sour crunchy flavours. This is a salad I often make and also make sure that I eat every alternate day.
Interesting part is we are adding garbanzo beans, the chickpeas and not the chicken ;)
So I’m sure all my dear veg-food lovers will love this easy recipe.

For two pax you will require...



INGREDIENTS:
  • Chickpeas/ garbanzo beans: 50 grams (Soaked overnight or for at least 6hrs latter boiled till soft.)
  • Black gram: 50 grams (Soaked overnight or for at least 6hrs latter boiled till soft.)
  • Cucumber: 1cup (peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes)
  • Onion: 1nos. (diced and washed in water)
  • Capsicum: ½ cup. (dry roast the capsicum)
  • Green chillies: 1nos (fine chopped, OPTIONAL)
  • Coriander/Cilantro leaves: 4-5 twigs (fine chopped)
  • Orange slice: 4-5 slices (peel, remove the seeds and cut them into small chunks)
  • Britannia NutriChoice Cream Cracker biscuits: 4-5nos (OPTIONAL)

SEASONING:
  • Salt : to taste
  • Sugar: ½ teaspoon
  • Lemon juice: 1 table spoon

PREPARATION:
  • Wash and soak chickpeas/ garbanzo beans overnight or for at least 6hrs in water.
  • Latter boil them or pressure cook them until soft in water with 2 teaspoon of salt. And keep it into the freeze to cool down.
  • Now peel the cucumber and dice it. Keep aside.
  • Same with onion cut them into dice shape and wash it in water so that the bitterness of onion gets less.
  • Take a capsicum/bell pepper, force a fork into it and directly roast on the heat. Keep turning it holding the fork. Roast until you find its skin bit of burning. Cool it down. Then scrap the burnt skin with same fork or knife. It is to give just a bit hint of roasting taste in the salad.
  • Chop fine the green chilli. You might like to deseed it to make the salad less hot.
  • Take few slices of oranges. Remove the skin, peel it, de-seed it and cut them roughly into small chunks.
  • Fine chop the coriander leaves.

METHOD:
  • Mix well all the ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Squeeze the lemon.
  • Add the seasoning to taste.
  • Take the biscuits, lightly crush them and add them into the same mix of bowl. Mix all and Voila! Serve cold or room temperature.

NOTE:
  • You may use one ounce of Chickpeas/ garbanzo beans rinsed and drained from the can.
  • I have not used even a drop of oil and any kind of strong spices into it and that was the target to keep it simple, fresh and healthy
  • You may like to use carrots, boiled potato, few chopped mint leaves or few crushed pistachio nuts or walnuts.
  • You may take any and ‘n’ number of lentils, boiled or sprouted.
  • The same recipe with a tint of cream will give a rich flavour.
  • I sometimes like to add two spoon of curd.
  • You may like to add sweet tomato sauce if serving to kids.
  • Britannia NutriChoice Cream Cracker biscuits are amazing, adds crunch and texture to whole salad. It is with no added colors and flavorings for taste. It is this neutral taste that makes it an ideal choice to be consumed with hot beverages, dips, chutneys, and accompaniments. So keep creating new recipes.
Change the ingredients just a bit and you will find a total new dish with same fresh flavours and colors. Cooking is all about just cooking healthy. Innovation in cooking recipe comes naturally to suit best your taste buds.

“I also take this opportunity to wish all my dear Blogger friends a Very happy Thanksgiving Day! You have always supported me and gracefully suggested me the best giving me a comfort and creativity simultaneously.

Thank you for being there for me!

I also take this opportunity to accept the beautiful  "the perfect poet award" for the poem "She's the Star". It was conducted by Thursday Poets Rally Week 56 (Nov 17-23, 2011). It's an infinite pleasure and honor to receive it! Heartily Happy and grateful. My Thanksgiving Week have already started with so much of surprises, hope and wish you all the same joy and grace!

for a change

Site dVerse ~ Poets Pub posted by Sheila Moore suggests this week’s Poetics prompt as "change."


Sailing against the wind
Cruel continuous journey,
Let’s get life on track,

Controlling the circumstances,
Confusing clueless route,
Challenging careless drift,

Clouds in mind,
Chained by rules,
Seize the colorful moments,

I will cringe at your charming voice,
Will chase away the tears
Give me a chance

It’s a confession of love
I waited long for the spring to bloom in yellow tulips,
I hope you will don’t mind to change your mind for a change!
~*~


Well when I read the above lines revising my prose to publish, the word 'yellow tulip' reminded me of this Bollywood Hindi Movie 'Silsila' released in yr.1981 directed by Yash Chopra featuring Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan.

I thought this picture shall suit the best the above lines with a perfect romantic backdrop and stretches of tulip fields!

Wish to see the video of the song..

She's a star

Prose written for the Thursday Poets’ Rally Week 56 (November 17-November 23, 2011)


She is slim, petite, positive, plus or slender.
She has a small mole above her lips, redefining the smile!
She forgets to pin up,
And she asks for more safety-pins,
She is tall helps to put up in the tallest cupboard.
She is always late rushes banging doors,
She is written all over magazines and covers!
She jumps while getting into the jean,
A child like nature vulnerable and innocent!
She plays songs on the mobile while getting ready.
She drapes herself sleekly into the 6 yard saree*.
She is wrapped in an aura of mystery!
She blinks her eyes roughly 50 times in the 60 seconds while putting the eye liner.
She looks brilliant painter while putting up the sensuous red lipstick.
She softly brushes peach blush and actively blushes.
She has a classic influential romantic side fringe cut fairly,

She is chubby and bubbly.
She sometimes nurtures her tantrums!
A right to be a late-bloomer!
Yet she never brooded when things were out of control.
She forgets to take up her belongings.
Giving away us her pleasure and deed to sway!
She walks and often flaunts, Joy in her feet!
Gracefully slides and pumps high the heartbeat in deep.
She smiles too much.
Though rough and tough the life treats.
The weakness of her lies in her heart
But she adores the one who is humble and smart!
She walks firm and straight with healed heels
She is a princess but not all the time she deserve bliss
She trusts everyone for a while with love and genuine care.
She lifts herself on her little fumble toes.
Absolutely, lifting up the spirits!

She is reigning allure!
Legendary and larger than life,
She is a shorthand for charisma!
Witty, quirky, incurably honest and wise.
Back and forth swinging whispering earring!
Beat her beauty, flawless and fortified,
She gossips and sips the proteins shakes.
She is least bothered by fake hugs.
Her quote of life is still an enigmatic secret!
She laughs uproariously sometimes;
None know she is faking
She bottle up all the emotions.
Her smile is a treasure and hearts flutter.
Self-sufficient, commanding and a priceless solitaire!
She jokes to lighten up,
She is not simply bothered,
By the mindless opinions of people,
She knows it all!

She swings in her waist,
Fellow often follow her and for her one glance fall
She acts sweet and smart on every crises call.
She scouts the moments and sails morally.
She never shouts and is always polite
She moves elegantly endless marvel,
Blessed, poised with glisten eyes
Beyond expectations of being
Awakening undercurrent essence
She has a winsomeness presence
Worth of praise and reverence!
World shall write down the history
And she will only rise against the tide!
Rewrite her glory in prose and songs lines!
She's a star! Shines and enlightens life!
A balanced woman cared little details daily!
She is better than the best
She is renewing and reinventing
Like everyone ones gets evolved,
She is timeless!
Rekha forever remains work in progress!

Rekha is the forever Diva of Indian Cinema. She is the Bollywood's greatest crown and the Ultimate Enigma in Bollywood. The most desired, most elusive and enduring woman winning hearts of all age past four decades.

Say Something - Hallmark of Emotions

This post reflects the Hallmark of feeling and more feelings, true emotions and few random scattered thoughts collectively brought together!


When I’m with you...we just have a blast every time.
Brilliant part is that we do understand each other pretty well, almost as much as we could enjoy our conversation on any topic or even discussing an epic on a single word. But most of the time the fun is that we don’t understand each other at little instances and we perhaps acknowledge this fact and leave it like that without working over it.

We say without paying attention to language, grammar or wondering the relevance of the idea to be shared. We just freely say as the heart speaks.

Usually people expect a reaction or an action over what been discussed. But while we talk we expect nothing in return. Not that I don’t care but I’m glad that you heard peacefully.

Even if we have a fight, we should be able to keep our focus right and while meeting again not bring the weird topic avoiding to discomfort other person. Nope! we don’t necessarily require saying or hearing a word ‘sorry’ to show how sad we feel. We behave normal and talk as a new thing and cheers on the best time we are able to take out and cherish the converse.

I realised accepting person as they are, is the most beautiful thing one can adore and indeed not trying too hard to force anybody to understand you the best.

It’s rare to find people with whom you can fly high in thoughts and stories having a conversation so freely. Someone who shall stay awake listening you late night despite the early morning meeting to attend. Someone who will call you even if you have hung up the phone or answered lately. Someone who listens your heartbeat and knows how it feels!

Beautiful little things are hard to describe in big words.
Ah! The Feelings!!! One needs to understand the emotion. So true said.
Be grateful and loving to those few people!
