The day I fell in love...



And that was the day... That was the day I remember...
The day I discarded all that I had inside me,
The day I abandoned it all...
That was the day when I fell in love…

A feeling so intense and an emotion so vigorous...
That it left me with a surge of bewilderment... 

A feeling I never experienced before...
An emotion completely unknown...
‘Coz I never remember being in love ever, 
with so much madness, with so much fervor...

I fell in love with the man who did everything possible to make me fall for him
The man who took all my pains away and gave me smiles instead...
The man who kissed me passionately every morning I woke up
The man who made me laugh and whom I called my soul mate...

I fell in love with that lady sitting quietly in a corner
But today her beautiful face looked so pale and lifeless... 
Her eyes grim and filled with sorrow... 
She: who brought me into this world, and gave me all that she had...
She: who made me walk, and taught me all the intricacies of life... 
She who made me realize life is beautiful if lived... if lived...

I fell in love with that strong man, who never shed a tear in his entire life
But today, he was standing there drenched in his own waters
He who always protected me from the demons outside and inside, 
He: the pillar of my life...
But today, he seemed to be so weak, so fragile
Something forcing his back to crouch...
Tearing my soul into pieces...

I fell in love with those 2 young girls, who walked with me always, holding my fingers...
Girls who smiled and filled me with an emotion unknown to me. 
Who fought with me, who laughed with me, who cried with me,
Who gave me their unconditional love
They who shared my passions, obsessions, my fancies, and my dark secrets

I fell in love with that handsome young boy, whose eyes always sparkled with a million dreams
But today instead of those gigantic dreams, all I see is pain, immense pain in those beautiful eyes…
Wait! Are they even moist?

I fell in love with strangers, whom I started calling friends…
They: who stood next to me dealing with all my tantrums...
They: who always gave me my doze of happiness in the time of sorrows
They: who seemed to have dropped from heavens straight

I fell in love with those books that had the imprints of my moist fingers on them
They still carried the marks of my tears on their pages, a token of my emotions
They had so many words underlined that were supposed to be looked out for,
They still have dates on the 1st page and notes on the last and a bookmark tucked somewhere in between...

I fell in love with that sketchpad and those brilliantly colorful pencils and crayons, 
That gave me a passion to be called mine, a reason to come back home... a reason to fly... 

I fell in love with the guitar, which I never played...
But still kept it, because I heard it gently weeping one day...
I still kept it in the hope that it will cry with me someday!

I fell in love with that birthday dress, that made me look like a princess
I fell in love with those high heeled shoes, that took me to heights whenever I felt low
I fell in love with every brick of my home, that imbibed my fragrance
I fell in love with those memories that defined my existence...

I fell in love with the girl lying down there, on the floor
I fell in love with her dark brown eyes, her nose, her ears, and her toes
I fell in love with her skin tone, with every inch of her frame
I fell in love with her beauty that I never had time for...
I fell in love with her heart, her zeal, her passion, her wilderness, her abnormalities, and her insanity
And all I was thinking was, how could I not fall in love with her before? 
Why was I running away from her... 
And she stood there patiently, waiting for me to just look at her once, with love and affinity...

And there I was, today, sitting alone: all lonely falling in love with everything precious that I ever possessed… 

And then, I heard a voice calling me upon, 
And I asked desperately, “Can I get a chance to live again”
There was a reply, “You will…”
“No… Can I get a chance to live my same old life again?”
The silence fell upon everything...
"Hello..."
"Hello..." 
I kept screaming...
As the darkness took over...
It was night... It was night again...

And I started waiting for the dawn to break... again...

Wear your success and confidence like a T-Shirt and not a Tuxedo!

I was reading an interview of Priyanka Chopra in one of the magazines the other day and there was one thing which she said and which captivated my mind immediately and frankly, I do not remember anything from that interview apart from that one thing! To some ques, she replied “Wear your success and confidence like a T-Shirt and not like a tuxedo!!!” Wowww… what a saying and how true… If you can carry your success in a subtle and a causal way, nothing like it… But that’s an art! Believe me! Carrying your success in a positive and a natural way is really not easy! I mean its like being flamboyant but in a natural way! But the problem here is presenting this flamboyancy into a natural way sans attitude which most of the people, unfortunately are incapable of doing! Ahhhh…. And great are the people who sometimes cross limits of showing off! They just love to show off and cant live without it: They show off their wealth, their status, their success and some people are even much horrib

Dear Myntra and Flipkart, thanks for snatching away my freedom!

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”  ―  Charlotte Bront├л ,  Jane Eyre I am an avid Shopaholic, a compulsive one! At times, I feel this is some kind of a disorder I am going through. The moment my salary is credited into my account, I start shopping! And within the first week, I am broke, I am left with no bones! And the rest of the month goes in waiting for the next salary! Its like my wallet has a hole. I guess it has... Anyways, boom of the online shopping sites have actually galvanised this disorder, much to my disdain. The moment I get little time in office, at home or for that matter anywhere on this planet, I just open my laptop and start browsing, drooling over the thousands and thousands of pretty shoes, dresses, accessories, just craving to see them in my wardrobe! I just always open these sites with an idea, rather a very clear one of 'window shopping' but then, in the middle I don't know what

The transformation of an arranged marriage to a love one!

“If I get married, I want to be very married.”  ― Audrey Hepburn Arranged marriages: Lets look at what wikipedia says about it: Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by a third party rather than by each other. It was common worldwide until the 18th century. Wait a second, does that say '18th century'. Yes, it indeed does. The world has moved on, and we, Indians are stuck, stuck in between a combat. A fight of deciding where to go, which side to choose and whom to follow: our old traditional culture or the west.  Anyways, arranged marriages still accounts for an overwhelming majority of marriages that happens on our land. Though we do celebrate love, but only in movies and we are doing that since last 4 decades, but when it comes to applying it literally, it suddenly becomes a stigma! Love marriages are still considered a taboo in major parts of our society. Anyways, I am definitely not here to make
