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 ...

He

He is like the sudden rain in winter. When all the living things wear the scarf of grey, when green becomes snowy and tenderness disappear, rain sprinkles life to dry surface welcoming a further session of shriller phase. Likely when the hope almost dries up and petals of memories get crunched as I take a walk towards the past, in that dessert of seclusion when things start freezing he appears like the blissful rain which pours the heart with hope and verve to live it again to tackle the upcoming dreadful phase. That's he! Healer yet harmful. 

Temple Saga & Cab Wale Bhaiya

Once upon a time, in a fine morning, I was out with my prince charming on a voyage... Hold on. Let me rephrase it. In the month of August, when the sky tends to shower more and shine less, the day decides to be different and instead of the light drizzle, it began with the scorching heat of the ever burning sun. I was supposed to meet him around around 1000 hours which, due to my extreme laziness, got delayed and I reached the metro station exactly one hour late. To describe him I will just use one word, 'Calm'. Hence, whether I reach early or late his reaction never changes and that day also he didn't mind me being late. His plan for that day was to visit few temples which were like poles apart in distance. But we decided to make it work. Our first destination was Kalighat Temple which was still nearby from the place where we met. Before talking about anythings else let me just brief you all about this temple. Kalighat Temple is in Kolkata and one of the must...
