come back

'I'll come back baby'
you said as you left
i've been watching the road
as my heart gets cleft

i've not given up hope
losing is not my knack
tied to end of rope
counting till you come back

    You were once HOME to me

    A life with memory was more than adding years to me…
    With everything in place as it should, you meant home to me.

    I saw in mellowed reflection of life with u
    I’d give everything to get my years back with you

    How you make all my happiness, my days filled with you,
    & often I hear your voice when someone else talks & not u,

    I moved my gloomy dreariness, with one look of you
    Aah! the catch was it was just me & a superficial you

    Given a chance..I wouldn’t change much,
    Life without you is way less than a perfect us.

    I raped my ego for what you felt was right,
    Now I let go, easy on myself like a flying kite

    I must go on, with or without you
    Just that my shadow also craves for you


    Goodbye my love, may be we will meet again
    I don know what to say….baby you were HOME to me.. I repeat once again

Seven years since I set SAIL

Image
There are some moments that sink in our minds through the chinks of time. Some words, some lessons that make way through the labyrinths of our sub-conscious, and lie embedded deep somewhere. It is only when we are shaken from our day-to-day reveries, by a long-forgotten fragrance...or a nostalgic song...or a blurred sense of déjà-vu that we get to sneak a peek into our own minds. One such occasion for me was visiting the steel plants of Bokaro and Durgapur, years after I first saw them.   I was among the five new Junior Managers (Communication) who landed in Durgapur way back in 2006. Even before we had officially joined the company, we jested about our choice of joining SAIL. Usually, in the career graphs of people, an ascent is marked by migration to a more developed place. And there we were – five fresh graduates from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication in Delhi, with ambitious plans and high dreams, travelling from the mega capital of India to some place people lear...

Happy 40th to my sibling teacher

Image
  He doesn't look 40, does he? A couple of years ago, I picked up a renowned book by Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. I realized after going through the first few pages, that the book didn’t really offer anything new to me, courtesy my sibling teacher, my brother. What the book tried to teach in logic and words, my brother had taught me all along through practical demonstration. Almost all the good habits I have internalized so far, are owed to him. On his 40 th , it’s about time I pay my gratitude in ink. Let’s start with my first life lesson: Abandon labels In the 80s, even with limited access to TV for children of my generation, Bollywood faces were household names. Among them was the lesser known singer and widely popular actor-comedian, Tuntun. In those days, Tuntun was synonymous with overweight bubbly women. As the heaviest among three siblings, never mind that I was just five, brother chose to christen me Tuntun. It didn’t take any ceremony for the na...

Love is magic

(Angry. Waiting. Brow-knitting. Teeth-grinding.) Full 6 hours since morning. Since 9 am in fact. From the time I woke up, full 9 hours! What does he think…am I going to crumble and collapse if he doesn’t call? Is he even thinking about me at all? Does he realize it’s more than half a day gone without hearing his voice even ONCE? My voice too is not so bad. Sorry to sound haughty, but a considerable few would give away something precious to hear it once. And look at me. Reduced to hands and legs and fingers and toes…fumbling with every damn familiar thing (forget the zone of unfamiliar, I’m too ashamed to reveal my ineptness). Scatter-brained and hare-focused (if the latter means anything). Attention span reduced to sub-zero. Distracted like scared pet in a new house. Tch. Whatever. Let him come to me the next time. If I don’t bleed his lips kissing…if I don’t dig in my nails and sink in my teeth…If I don’t simply ravish him right left and centre…arrghh. Not that I’m d...
