..A Fisherman’s Day Out..

Image
  As a festive mood was beginning to grip the Sultanate, all the Muslims were making preparations to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr in zest by offering prayers, giving alms to the needy, shopping for necessities and spending time with family. These Eid holidays for the rest usually meant spending time with family, relatives and visiting different touristic places. Every Eid holiday, I look forward to doing something different. On the day of Eid, when all Muslim brothers and sisters woke up to celebrate their auspicious day, I was getting ready for a day out in the sun. A sweltering sun, a cool breeze, and a beautiful beach was the perfect way to spend a holiday with family. The idea was to go fishing! The thought of just sinking my feet into soft sand and the constant gale of salty breeze from the sea had got me all excited, I could hardly wait for it to happen. The whole family got dressed after a late breakfast and wearing our best beach outfits we were ready to make th...

©  http://picfor.me/en/KiSslOvE Everything's murky, everything has changed, the world I cherished, burnt in flames. Life is a mystery, everything entailed, I lived to relinquish, everything but the sane. The friendships have frayed, everybody is alone, we lived a dream, in a glass pane. The beliefs have been replaced, with contempt 'n anger, body and soul lifeless where all hope prevailed.

..Rapunzel’s Hell..

I walk away from the shadow There it stands, tall and elegant The elegance for me has worn off Now all it is to me, is a dark fortress In there lie a lot of bad memories Memories that torture the soul They burn my skin, the bruises evident The belt snapping the silence The twig under my foot snaps Bringing me back to reality How cruel could mankind be The child that died there lived in me The memory of getting hurt Of getting beaten and used I try to walk away from that shadow It follows and pierces my dreams Burning eyes, wake the unknown I drag my eyes away from the storm I don’t know is it in my heart Or is it for real,  I t was the blood that flowed.

..Raw thorns..

Every memory fresh Every word you said Pricks like there's no tomorrow You just passed by I stand here alone I stand here holding on Where did all those words go You said you wouldn't let me go The first sight of trouble And you jumped ship Who am I at all now? A stranger in the breeze This is where it ends Cos this is where I started You wanted a chance And all I got is a glance Your sorry now You want forgiveness A tired heart beat for you And tired it is of you.

..A Cloud..

Image
Clouds clouds, surrounded by clouds, the Gulf of Arabia torched and scorned, loves lost, tears dry I dream of a beginning Again you ll say passe, but what if those clouds were not there, precisely would you be melted, tossed, scalloped, fried, Or be a breathe of fresh air I say, I may be right I know I will suffice,  for clouds that shadowed me have long gone away and I have been left bare by your dreams that dare.

..Friendship..

..Make Me Believe..

© Fanpop.com by Lauren Guthrie Your a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare Either way I don't wanna let you walk out that door You would vanish like the wind without a trace, it would break my heart to set you apart, to see you go and let my heart loose it all I don not wanna be temporary Can never be ordinary I don't wanna blend in I just want you to love I don't want to be the past I m here right, the time's right Either take me or set me apart Don't make me stand in between Don't make me feel somethings missing I wanna be complete, I wanna be yours But you gotta make me believe Say the words 'n say it right Let the words ring in my ears Only then will I ever believe The love you say, you wanna give Is right here right now between us.

..I Miss You..

Image
© Google Images If words could only tell you How much I feel for you Then today it will be that day My heart & soul would be sad Cos I lost something I never had Someone who made me laugh Someone who made me cry I thought I was happy With all the people around me But I was fooling myself How would I know? How could I be so blind? The words that once inspired me Stand still at your sight Your face still so serene I feel empty inside me For the loss in my heart is too great Someday I will tell you too late That I miss you more Than what words can say. *In memory of a friend I lost*

..Be together..

© "Growing Together" Original Art by Lori Webb (Copyright) *This is in memory of someone who inspired me* Be with me by my side today, What if tomorrows too late? What if tomorrows sunlight Brings a bad day, a bad start Would you be there? To cradle my sorrows, my angst I lean towards you Your delicious smile Your rapturous laughter All that keeps me together But todays that day When I look your way I stretch my hand out to you And lay my heart bare Be with me by my side today Cos the world at my foothold   Would stop and stare As if it was a crime I dared Be together with me So that when the sun shines And I wake up to that smile I am feeling whole, complete Nothing could even waver My love for you today

..Deep down..

Copyright Google Images Deep down in me there’s a monster A monster to be set free & be me But the real me isn’t as good So what will the judge say on the final day I’m tired of pretending to be something I ain’t I’m tired of loving n living life to blame Everything’s just a haze But deep down I know I am me A monster yet to be free To be set free by them None other than this social prejudice I want see the world and live life as me I tried and tried But I jus couldn’t try any longer I wanted to be something different Different for you and me I wanted you to stay Stay and say you loved me But this world and its regulations They just don let you be until its legal Legality is a monstrosity So when you letting me; be me? Why not jus let me live young n wild n free?

..Make you feel my love..

Image
© Jonnathan Varghese When I close my eyes, I see myself in you, Love that was so strong, I could hold you there a million years, To make you feel my love. I would walk down those lanes, And think of the times I’d be there, In that past that passed away, There is nothing I wouldn’t do, To make you feel my love. I would imagine your hand in mine, Just like the waves lapping at my feet, I wish love that surrounded me, Would fill your hunger everyday, To make you feel my love. But the roses have dried up, Fallen to the ground, disgraced, Still I wouldn’t let you go, Holding on to this memory, To make you feel my love. The storm is raging now, You might turn and see my tears, I would do it all now, I would go till the end of the world, To make you feel my love.

Its cold and chilly, Mumbai by night does that to me, everything's a haze, I feel it creep into me, making me still as it goes by, it can't subside now, the feeling's just too great, numbing me whole till I die. Copyright Raksha D'Souza

Copyright Google Images "Talli hai yeh zameen... Talli hey aasman... Sabh talli hai yahaaan.." Chorus: "Ek main hoon aur ek tu...... I wanna be with you..... tere peeche main.... mere aage aage main..." - Ek main aur ekk tu title song I think the one word that caught my attention was 'talli"......funny huh! This song transported me to the last time I partied a bit too hard. That was a memory to keep with me for the rest of my life. It was somewhere in the month of November, when my very close friend came to Amchi Mumbai to spend time with his friends and catch up with me of course!!! What I had not expected was to get sloshed so bad. Looking back at the events of that day....we definitely had an amazing time....I haven't danced like a crazy freak since that day....Do I remember in the dirty details? Duh.....of course!  But I think Ill tell you the main reason for me to loose my head, first of all I had not eaten a singl...

..Glitz, Glamour & Spunk..

Image
 © Google Images The 15th of January 2012 was a day of Glitz, Glamour, and Spunk. My sister got married to one of the most eminent bachelors in Mangalore. It all started off three years ago when my sister wanted to get placed right after her graduation. So she met Mr. HR Manager for her job placement.....and that was it....that is all it took for him to fall in love. Love at first sight huh! But on the other side, the scenario was different......guess whom my sister finds to introduce to my dad? Her placement manager.....n y? Because he is NOT my boyfriend......and he never stood a chance according to her.....for reasons unknown to me... And before they even knew it was.....band,baaja,baaraat.....can u believe it? Sigh...even I could not believe that my sister could even think of getting hitched soo soon......if it was a guy I could say "MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN!" but unfortunately.....I cant....what would I say??? Hmmm......I haven't thought of it yet.......At least I...

Blogging?? I blog to tell what I feel....to have every sentiment of mine bought forward in words or verses. I am a frustrated little soul that cannot shut-up when any emotion passes through my life. There will be some thought or the other bugging me. It could range from anything to everything....a friend could say something mean just for FUN!! but for me it would hurt a million times over or to something as minute as the different shades of a car. Weird huh! Life is too short they say, to muse over trivial things but my brain functions in the default mode where I have to think and think and over-think about any situation a hundred times over. For example, three days before I traveled to my sisters wedding I sat and thought about the one thought that kept nagging me. I had suddenly started to feel like as though I had lost my sister, I had a big problem with sharing her with someone else permanently. I mean she was MY sister!! wasn't she??? Sigh....so i kept my head wound up...
