Loud whispers of the silent souls

The grasses were greener today,
The leaves seemed to happier than ever
Swaying with the cadence of the wind
Dancing to the tune of the breeze
The wobbly stems seemed to have found new strength
Rejuvenated, re-energized
Today they were holding the leaves tighter than ever, not letting them fall!
 “I’ll be your strength forever”, said the stem, finally muttering the words that the leaves had waited desperately to hear!
What could’ve made them happier..!
They smiled and danced with all their might
The cool breeze blew faster, whispering to the leaves,
“Overwhelmed I am, for having met your vibrant self,
Fresh, full of life, you look beautiful today!”
“Thank the rains, O’ dear,
For it did what the sun, the moon, the earth and the wind couldn’t do;

It brought life back in us”, replied the leaves.

Do we know ourselves?

Image
In today's fast paced life, all of us are moving too fast. Some after goals, some after money and the rest after other people! What everyone is missing is the life that they have. The life that is static and calm, forever.  Today, when we have the answer to almost all questions of life, when comfort has become cheaper and when we are almost done with all the questions about our origination & our life, we have now started to learn about life on other planets too. Our daily schedule is fixed. We wake up with a goal in mind, we have our regular coffees, then we go to our offices, with the thought of doing more work, learning something new and then we come home, change and again go out with friends (coz of course we need to release all the stress of work), we come home tired, late at night and go to bed. In this highly busy and fast schedule, we manage our relation with friends, lover, relatives (though their existence has almost become zero today), neighbors and those hi-by

Meeting Them So They Can Select You: Arrange Marriage

Image
It was the first time she was going to meet someone. Her parents, friends, relatives were all very excited. She had gone to her uncle’s place where they were going to come. Her mom woke her up that morning. Her father greeted her lovingly. Aunt and Uncle smiled when they saw her. Both the brothers were busy in arranging gift packets and fruits on the tray. Her sister had got that beautiful maroon dress ironed for her. Grandparents gave their blessings and she felt very special that day. Everyone was happy. She quickly took a bath and put on that anarkali salwar kameez. Then some kajal, mascara, compact and a lip gloss. She wanted to keep it simple and original. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt good. Half dried hair, little makeup, typical Indian salwar suit with dupatta and her smile! So good! She felt happy and content. How girls sometimes fall in love with themselves! Her happiness was no because she was going to meet that person, who, if destiny allowed, wou

Queen: The modern face of Indian women

All the status updates and reviews of Queen movie literally compelled me to watch the movie. So as I started with the movie, I told myself that by the end of it I’ll have something really good to remember. But I found the first few scenes to be very weird! We Indians are too bored with the usual boy-breaks-a-girl’s-heart thing! It’s quite usual in India, especially in the case of marriage, to see a girl crying over a boy! Well, we all know that wounds get healed with time and of course I expected the same to happen to her! I didn’t show much of interest in the movie and I found it quite disheartening that people had started loving this kind of story! I don’t remember what interested me most, but I kept glued to the Laptop throughout the movie. I kind of started liking the way it had been represented. The girl, the simple , sanskari Indian girl was learning to live! Not a single thing shown in the movie is unreal! Rani, the protagonist, cries remembering that he was there t
