Musing

Mourn my countrymen, a little more! As we walk down the empty lanes all alone With a numb heart and moist eyes, here we start To reach out those faces who are all apart From the ones they love and now can't even see one last time. But don't you worry, they are not your family nor mine. For my brothers won't come back to walk along When the dawn will fall and things go wrong. At the darkest of night when the snow will fall Burring the stains of our dearest pals We will not forget them, while, my countrymen, you perhaps will; When days will pass and it won't be anymore a big deal. Mourn my countrymen, a little more! As the valley turns red and our hearts sore. For my brothers who gave their all, will never return  When we will be sitting together, having fun, With memories so fresh of our training days Missing the ones whom we've lost so far in the life's way. Today as we carry the coffins so heavy With the tears buried...

Believe me when I say that being in love is more than feeling butterflies in tummy, witnessing romantic sunset and walking hand-in-hand. When you are in love, the whole world suddenly feels upside down! My love story, as I always say, is not about the mushy stuffs but like a Tonga-ride; exciting, fancy yet dangerous (Only if you don't know how to ride it).  Rather than stating how much we love each other, we always preferred saying how much we missed each other. Instead of making the other one blush, we laughed our heart out with silly remarks. Romantic dates were always supplanted by 'Let's have Pizza today!' plans. Above all, not to forget our first ever attempt for a date. While one would precisely choose some garden, cafe, park, restaurant, beach or anything on earth, my darling chose Temples! Exactly, you read it right. As I have shared with you earlier on 'Temple Saga'. Well, I can't fully blame him as I am equally hopeless when it comes to execut...

There will be ups and downs too My love, I will still be standing by you. Even when the dark will prevail, with a shadowy veil; Surpassing the odds, blowing away smoky trail, Will still hold your hand and mend those promises so true With all my heart, I will love you. There will be blames and unknown fears too My love, I will still be standing by you. When your hopes will shatter and heart be numb, When love will be subdued and emotions will succumb, Knowing the cons and the distance that grew With all my heart, I will love you. There will be a time, tough and unavoidable too My love, I will still be standing by you. When decisions will differ and fight will grow, When anger and arguments will supplant the rosy flow; Amidst the gloomy nights of pangs and blues With all my heart, I will love you. There will be heartbreak and sorrow too My love, I will still be standing by you. When norms will take a toll on mind and heart will be cold, Melting the barriers of thorns, I will hum our...

It was the last day of autumn when I met the one who came like a gentle breeze and took all my senses away with that charming gleam of smile. As the person left me behind, a crispy wind passed by, shivering my heart for the first time. I felt someone broken apart but what that I didn't know. The winter took a toll that year; hurting the last leaf hanging from the tree. With the fall of the leaf my  hopes rested on the snowy bed as the person didn't came to rejuvenate it with life. My heart was frozen, eyes intact; in a hope that with the next shower that person might come back. Weeks passed, so did month. What didn't change was my wait for a person whom I barely know who had been there like the snow. For a moment's stay it took my breathe away, just like the sharp rain drop as it pours to hurt the gentle skin. The growling winter prevailed while the rusty snow prickled. My darling didn't come to the same place again where I stood still with a tiny ray of hope that ...
