Green memories

It was Spring. She was cycling her way to reach school. The wind had filled her pockets and her heart, everything was so beautiful. Just then, at that very moment when she was supposed to take a swift turn, she could see a pair of eyes follow her. She was a carefree soul and it was alarming.

She kept on hoping for that pair of eyes to lose it's way but no, it kept on following her everywhere she went. So, one day after it had been almost a week of adventure, she stopped on her way to encounter those pair of eyes. She could see a lank boy, no bigger than her sheepishly smirking. But, no she was really offended and wanted an answer. To which he possibly had nothing to say, he only gave her one quick reply , that he wanted to be friends with her. He kept staring at the ground when she flung questions at him.

After having a good yell at him, she suddenly felt morose for she could see his ears go red and his heart possibly bruised. This was what she hated about her, her inability to hurt people. So, she walked up to him and said that they could be friends and she could see him flashing a wide smile. That smile which was enough to reveal his warmer side. Thus, she found a stalker who ended up being a friend.

She eventually found out that he wasn't a bad company at all. They would cycle their way together and share stories all their way for what they didn't have in common was their shared childhood.With time, their cycling adventures ended as life happened  but every time she thought of cycling, she couldn't help but smile about the beautiful memories she had with her friend.

Checks and balances of life!

I wasn't always who I am today. It took a lot of courage to break past my shell. Oscar Wilde  had once stated that knowing what you want to be in life becomes a curse because you invariably become that but not knowing is liberating, there are endless possibilities of who you can become. I too didn't know who I was going to be. Today, I realise it was liberating. I never knew i could find my voice some day. Now that I feel liberated,it becomes difficult to remain confined. We need to grow, evolve into better beings each day. We need to grow past the "checks and balances" of life. I remember Fuller here,  Fuller has asked us to be a part of a process of this evolving planet. He wants us to be "verbs" not "nouns"!  Here is a tale of an introverted me who knew not what to expect from life .  ....... I would talk less at school, not attend socialising events, avoid looking at stranger's eyes while on the road. In short, I wanted to be invisible to t...

Uncovering whispers

Isn't it strange how love binds people who are polar opposites! I have always believed love to be a faith which grows deeper each day as it is based on trust and the ability to hold on just like the waves hold on to the sea. The story is about two love birds who got caught in the web of love. He resembles the morning sunshine, shy yet bold enough to fight past the night's gloom. A deafening silence engulfing his soul. She is a tempest who gave his silence a shattering jolt. And just when the word impossible could have defined the bond they likely could have shared, the word split itself into " I am possible!" and a possibly, "I am possible" love story took birth. What interests me is the way they stand together,  I have seen them fight, seen them suffer but that suffering has it's beauty of it's own where one cries and the other feels the pain (Okay, that was a cliche!) I was always attracted towards stories which had pain in the sense that it mad...

Voice

A wail escapes from the bottom of my belly But as I part my lips, it escapes as a frozen breath Speak, the teacher demanded! A throbbing heart, I could hear it ringing deep. The world would trample you in its way, my mother sighed. She could see the bruises of the cane on my palms. Why couldn't you tell the answers when you knew it by heart? she wanted to know. But, Maa I did try..I did , I stammered. My tears choking my half eaten words She pulled me closer, wiped my tears and as she freed my hair from those tightened plaits She spoke of a rule which I was to abide by. You need to win over words, you need to make those words a game Ah I said, I do try but I have to struggle hard They ring in my mind but don't escape my lips She smiled at me and said you need to trust yourself! Ah, I said I would try. And I did try over these years But they still ring in my mind forming loops of their own And the moment I open my lips, they die And I try again from the start ...
