Down the memory lane...


Today I visited a stunning place,
Place where there was a fabulous house...
House which is home to my heart,
That’s the place where my heart stays...
Its located somewhere down the memory lane,
Lane that passes through my past's highway...
N that's where my heart still resides,
That's where it takes its peaceful rides...
I asked my heart to come n live with me,
In this new world, passing through a new way...
But it refused to come n settle with me,
May be here it will not get the same pleasure n ecstasy...
It still wants to be there,
It still wants to hang about somewhere...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where memories of my childhood stays...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where memories of my teens are kept...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where all my crazy stories are hidden...
Somewhere down the memory lane,
Where all my naughty tales are reserved...
And may be my heart is happy living with all of them,
May be that's where it finds happiness n compassion...
That lane is decorated with love n joy,
Where else will one find such a beauty to enjoy...
Why would my heart stay with me,
When it has such a serene place to live...
Why would it want to come to this world,
Which is filled with noise and bustling...
Where peace is the most difficult thing to discover,
And happiness is something that is rarely found...
Where compassion is an extinct name,
And selfishness has its roots stretched everywhere...
Roots strong enough to kill all the other emotions,
Why would my poor heart want to live in such a place...
When it has such a quiet place to reside,
Far from this world, somewhere down the memory lane...

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 Brontë ,  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 wh...

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 mak...

Can you? Will you?

“People don’t like love, they like that flittery flirty feeling. They don’t love love - love is sacrificial, love is ferocious, it’s not emotive. Our culture doesn’t love love, it loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without paying anything for it." ―  Matt Chandler Probably this is true and I actually believe in it very strongly. It's not love what people look out for - its jus that infatuation, those butterflies in the stomach, that excitement, that thrill, that desperation, that anticipation. Actually more than half of the love stories meet an unpleasant and terrible end, the moment all this enthusiasm and drama is gone from a relationship. Sad! but true. We no more (not generalizing), have those 'forever' happy afters. We no more have those relationships with the promise of being together for 7 births.  We don't even understand this word we use so frequently, called ‘Love’... its just not an emotion, its just not a feeling. It's beyond t...
