Just not today

Two plates on a counter,two glasses on a table.
To dream of this life, if only I was able.
My knight , his armour, of which I see a shine
My bard, his song, of which I hear a rhyme
I know it isn't,
But I wish it were mine.
One touch, one breath is all I get for today
I know it must end, 
But just not today...just not today.

As a reflection of what i think you have written in this piece, i just felt of expressing somehting to cheer you:-

Don’t worry me dear, it is better to stay clear
You know it is more or less your fear
On the contrary something to cheer
Sing, Dance, Whistle since everything is going to bear
Results of what you have trained yourself to be
The shine that you see is more a reflection of your eyes
Looking wide and afar in search of someone to come over
The song that you hear is the heartbeat that you feel inside
Resonating more and more with the hope about that someone unknown
Pause, Breathe and inhale that wonderful breath
Only to realise that someone is coming for sure…you just to dream and keep dreaming

Of love, marriage and other dreams.

Let me begin by saying the last 6 years of my life have been a roller-coaster ride, at the very least. Moving to Hyderabad and then Bangalore, I embarked on the most important and eye opening chapter of my life - the life of the single working woman in India. I can safely say, no formal education or parental advice had ever prepared me for this. At times liberating, at times frightening, at times grueling.. its been frustrating, tear-jerking, and soul-shattering but ultimately - empowering. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world though. It has taught me my self worth, it has taught me to question blind faith in others, and at the same time to trust my own instincts. It has shown me the worst in people, and also the best. I have learnt that I have the (apparently) unique capacity to make friends and connect with people regardless of age, background and culture- a fact I am unabashedly proud of. Bangalore in particular, while having dealt me the hard hand o...

DISCLAIMER : This post is my personal opinion. It is NOT to state that breakups/divorces are not options to be considered. These are decisions that are very vital and liberating when taken appropriately. Please keep an open mind when reading this, and exercise discretion in forming opinions. Thanks! ------------ They say our generation gives new hope. We are strong, honest, independent, not afraid of choosing the path less taken , and we stand by our choices. We speak up against wrong, stand up for what is right, and try to fix whatever we can . But in this sea of virtue in which we immerse ourselves and  from which we emerge, we seem to have forgotten one- contentment....? We are used to instant gratification . Got a great picture taken?- upload it on Facebook. Nice thought popped into your head? - Tweet it. Looking good today? - Instagram it. We aren't happy with how we look until it is validated by other people's likes or comments on 10 different avenues. We aren...

Another year older..another year wiser (?)

It's that time of the year...the birthday month!As a kid, life was great ..and around my birthday..even better! Amazing parents to buy me awesome stuff, cool friends to come to my party and also get me awesome gifts, amazing food, benevolent aunts and uncles to ...that's right, also get me awesome stuff..you see where I'm going with this... And then , I HAD to go and grow up....These days, a birthday is a good time to introspect...sans good food and awesome stuff :( To be very honest, this isn't what I thought or hoped my life would be at this age. There are many things that I can say about this , but very little that hasn't already been said or debated over...there is so much I could have done had good sense prevailed, but so much that I had to learn...(and continue to do so) the hard way...there is so much I should do now to correct myself, but so little I can do because the heart doesn't let me. Having said that, it could have been a lot worse. Maybe life ...
