Waiting

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 perhaps the next morning the ice would melt and the shrouded daisy would tilt up its head to blossom again with the warmth of air.

Ruthless grey walked away as the creamy spring arrived with the choicest gift in hand. I was waiting under the same tree where I saw you passing by. A sudden air thumped at heart and blurred my vision; I could see someone coming near to the same tree where by then flower bloomed; one or two on each branch; the air filled with the chirps of birds and I stared as some magic happened just right there. I realized why spring seems so pretty after all the seasons of pinks and blues as it takes away with its arrival all the roughness and dusty hues.

The Winds That No More Hums The Happy Tale!

Things went magically insane the very moment someone's presence rejuvenated life back into the dead city of mine. A gush of wind passed by in the wind hushing some symphony of belongingness. I stood still for a while in amusement looking at the way things were around, all of a sudden. The sick old tree beside the lake had tiny green leaves peeping out from the lifeless branch. The heart sighed after a long; the change was for good. It was almost evening and the dark didn't scare me. The lonely cuckoo was duetting with some other bird which I failed to recognize. My world was getting dipped into the leftover of the sunset, all magical and bright.  Almost a month passed since that day. Today, the wind reminded me of that time when he arrived with hands full of amusement, restlessness, sparkles and magic. The wind is crisp and soothing, despite all the heated situations in between. May be it's not the city, may be it's not the wind nor even those golden hues. May be it is ...

Lunch at Officers’ Mess

A Civilian’s Dilemma! Subha ka nashta room pe karenge! Dopeher ka khana Mess me khayenge! Madam ki shopping CSD me karenge! “Koyi Shaq?” “No Sir!” my josh-type reply came hearing his full day plan. With the almighty being graceful, my man was in town and I had all the reasons to be super happy. It was the month of May and with that came the soul wrenching heat. I hate summer, but more than me there’s someone who hate this season to the core. With back to back cancellation of leave I had almost given up on destiny and was completely hopeless about our much awaited meeting. But these men in uniform tend to surprise you at the moments when you least expect that. His CO finally decided to show some mercy on him and the day before his sailing was about to start, his leave was granted which was in no way expected. Okay! So my man is in Indian Navy, ruling the ocean and my heart at the same time. I have clearly no idea of why and what things take such turn whenever h...

A Hibiscus for You Ma'am!

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...
