Courage

The lawyer showed the judge her earlier snaps. A beautiful and confident young lady the snaps portrayed. The girl in the snap was standing in front of him.
Speechless she stood. They spoke everything. The Cuts on her hands. The Bruises on her beautiful slender frame
Uneven blemish and white complexion.The Swelling under her eyes. Burnt cigarette marks on her face
She dint needed any proof to prove she was a victim of domestic violence.
Thought of ending this suffering penetrated her mind the day when he slapped her repeatedly for throwing his wine bottles. She was always conquered with fear. It took her a while to realize:
“You don’t need people, arms, ammunition in battle of life
but you need hell lot of courage to stand against the wrong”

A Tiny Thing

There it lay on mirror. Silent. Calm, yet sparkling and beautiful as if it was meant to be there. It added more and more beauty to the Owner who recklessly or may be unknowingly left it there. It competed with sparkles of her bangles those were busy in competing with the chords of guitar to make melodious noise. It competed with sparkles on the Lehenga she wore that stopped shining when the light effect faded away. The tiny thing did its job perfectly. It was as slender as her body frame and as bright as her face. It distinguished her from the other girls at wedding.

After the wedding was over she washed her face and hurried to be home. But left it behind. May be for me. To relive the moments, to relive her aura, to relive the noise of her bangles, to relieve her smile. So what if it is a tiny thing, so what even if the remaining thing is a little ‘bindi’ from her forehead.

Our foolish heart are searching for life in tiny fragments objects while ignoring the living being itself. Emotional ties hold on to bits and pieces of one’s belongings but failing to express emotions to person themselves.

PS: post is inspired bcoz of my Mom, who visited me recently and left her Bindi on the wash basin mirror.

Priority

Nor did you change
neither did I,
It’s all about ‘Priorities‘
that changes with time

And They Say… Love Hurts

I expected you to be here, but you fail to turn up
Loneliness Hurts
and they say… Love Hurts

Mistakes n Mistakes, but you fail to understand reason
your words hurt
and they say… Love Hurts

Long passing hours, but you fail to notice the wait
Ignorance hurts
and they say… Love Hurts

working hours n hours, but you fail to appreciate efforts
silence hurts
and they say… Love Hurts

dressed up I am, but you fail to admire beauty
expectations hurts
and they say… Love Hurts

Love is the only thing that brings me back to you, but I fail to understand
Why they Say… Love Hurts

Wounded

Burning with wrath
He thought of pulling knife on her

But you see
With a tinch of redness and droplets of moisture
She used biggest weapon : Her Eyes

Wounded he was with that bewailing look of hers again.

The Little Stone

Millions of stars were twinkling in the sky.. Full Moon looking splendid in the dark sky..
they were leaving for home after the college fresher party.. as usual he was supposed to drop her as it was late..
Gorgeous she looked in the red Saree.. her Dangles embellished with beads added more and more beauty .. a reddish gloss made her lips look rosy.. the pinkish blush on her cheeks glowed and added a shining effect to her  face..
He was looking handsome too.. in well dressed Armani Suit.. which she borrowed for him from her elder bro.. a classy rimless eyeglass made his features look more and more sharp..

they were Friends from past 7 years.. though with opposite nature.. she is studious, he hardly studies
she completes his assignments, when he is out practising for football match
she is scared to even look at some random guy, and he every time dates a new girl (Girls.. :P)
but still they were good friends…

while walking her home,she teased him “which one, among the girls u were flirting with was more attractive hmm?” He punched her “Do you thing only one?” It was an array of girls.. they giggled, she dint noticed the little stone on her way and fall down.. her stiletto was no longer with heels now.. she was hurt.. blood oozed  from wound.. he was taken aback by the sudden incident.. he hurriedly pulled out his handkerchief and cleaned the blood.. he was feeling guilty that he wasn’t able to held her.. his glooming face was suddenly nervous and worried.. “It is all right, just a little wound, I am fine” she said.. “It’s not alright, I should have been cautious, I am supposed to take u home safely, i am such an idiot, I am lost in my world how could I be such a fool” he said, “Hey.. its ok.. how r u supposed to know were the rocks are placed on the way haan? 😛 😛  and don’t be too hard on urself.. its ok” she said

She was surprised by his attitude, a little wound and Y he is so worried and nervous she thought, “Y r u so worried?” she asked, he said nothing, and was busy cleaning the wound, “r u gonna tell me or shall i fight with u, again, which I don’t want to, it’s so pleasant atmosphere here and u r worried abt the little wound” she said.. “Would you stop ur non-sense and can u plz check for a band-aid if u have in ur handbag, its late and even thr r no medical shops in the vicinity” he said.. “have u gone mad, it’s a little wound” she said “Oh really, what if u have fallen down on ur head, or what if it would have resulted in some fracture or I don’t know ny crap” he yelled, “I can handle myself ok, I don’t need you” she yelled and started to get-up but again fall down, she recognized the ligament pain then.. “Dont freak out, its fine” she said..

she was astonished to see tears in his eyes, “Why … ..” before she could complete the sentence he said ” I care for u idiot, its my responsibility to protect u, because I Love U” she was Shocked, mesmerized, stunned,  dumbfounded.. she was not aware how to react .. what to utter .. should she start dancing or just break down in his arms… all the emotions were just moving to and fro in her mind..
her eyes were speaking more than her lips… he could see the stars were twinkling and running down one after other from her eyes.. the full moon had more glaze or her face he thought.. millions of stars were twinkling in her eyes or sky he wondered.. the blush on her cheeks was more pinky than ever… she blessed the little stone for making her experience the most beautiful feeling in world.. for making her fall in love 🙂 🙂
