Defiance, as you may call it..

Sometimes, life is dull...
Life is dull, where should I say
For there are poets, who only see the day.

The Collision
And for the first time ever , in its ephemeral life,
flames didn't kill it
s breath, rather gave it life in abundance..
As the ball of fire, so the pollen well knew,
flames could abscond it- in no time for sure...
But happens the reverse , when the ball of fire stays with the pollen,
keeps the distance that 'doesn't kill', rather glorifies its dim-lit world...
When the journey began , the ball of fire told the pollen,
it too had fears, though it never seemed so .
That it knew all well, the power of aqua;
as when the flame is the 'King'- water then is, the 'Ace' of cards..
The pollen realizes, everyone has fears,
and being carried away nowhere by air ,
was as deep a fear, as to the ball of fire,
the fear of losing its flame...
And when the ball of fire, is kept in a dark world- unlit...
it is then, that it learns of its resplendent being,
for in light, there's a life of lesser worth,
than in the darkness -unseen..
So it teaches the pollen, to unleash its odds,
that, maybe somewhere underground,
a darker world needs it, to sprinkle some life,
and to let it know, one's brighter side lives inside...
And the pollen learns, it's more worthy in a barren land ,
'coz even in a land of greens, it's life would have a lot of worth,
but the right place to stay, is where life ceases to exist,
and where you can bring it back to a new horizon...
For the last words of parting,
the ball of fire teaches to LIVE....
Though the unflinching flames are cursed for- destruction,
it is its life , most powerful and lively,
only when the cursed holocaust waves high- its flames..
And the pollen has now, learnt to live without fears,
for its life is LIFE, the moment it gets carried away by the wind..
And its life BRINGS LIFE, only when it suffocates in the darkness of soil,
in order to breath again and create a new life in that pinch of darkness...
And days pass on, the pollen lives a new life,
now of a hibiscus plant, under the great banyan tree...
narrating its own pollens about A COLLISION,
that brought a living dead pollen to life...
(TC and never stop dreaming, even in your dreams!!:-))

मानव गलतियों का पुतला
मानव गलतियों का पुतला
सोंचना मानव का काम है ,
और वह सोंच सोंच कर आम बातों का भी अचार बना दिया करता है।
घर और गाडी की सोंच को ज़रूर उड़ान देता है।
कभी अफसरों की डांट ,भरी महफ़िल में शर्मिंदा करती है।
पर उसे इस दुनिया में लाने वालों की याद केवल फ़ोन पर ही आती है।
पैरों में चप्पपल बिना चल कर , अपनी आदत बता हंसी में टाल दिया करते हैं ;
उन्ही के चरणस्पर्श की बात को आज ये धुएं में क्यों उड़ा डालता है?
आदमी आज माँ -बाप से मिलने को ,
वक़्त जय करना क्यों बताता है?
स्वयं खाली पेट सोते , पर उस सुपुत्र को अपने हाथों से खिलाते।
क्यों बुढ़ापे में उनका साथ छोड़ कर ,उनको मृत्यु -दंड सा कष्ट पहुंचाते ?
कि समय खुद को है ज़रूर दोहराता।
फिर आने वाली पीढ़ी से शायद वो बदत्तर सलूक पायेगा।
याद करेगा अपना अतीत , माँ-बाप का संघर्ष , अपना संघर्ष, अपनी संतान के लिए।
और प्रायश्चित ही मुक्ति का एक ज़रिया है।
और अपनी सोंच की कलम की स्याही ख़त्म होने से पहले ,
मन के अंतहीन कोरे काग़ज़ पर एक छोटा अक्षर 'माफ़ी ' , पूरा लिखने से पूर्व ही -
ईश्वर के पास चला जायेगा।

Butterfly Fly Away
8:15 pm )
Break the shackles , leave your past
witness all what you come across..
Baby you're a butterfly ,
you don't need to fear the world.
Baby you can fly the highest,
so don't fear taking off a flight
Baby you can make mistakes,
and never regret doing them, as always
Baby, steal the nectar-all what the flower beholds,
and though you are stealing... remember, you ain't going to jail
Baby do never wonder, if you find no colors in the world,
'coz God sent you to shower them, when the world needs it the most...
Baby you are beautiful, baby you are charming;
haven't you seen? you even make toddlers run for you..
Baby you have seen the world, baby it's so huge;
you are invisible in minutes, but also, in seconds you mesmerize...
You steal the show, baby you're a show-stopper;
Baby you don't need a ramp, the whole world is your stage...
Baby feel it when I say, no boundaries can stop your way;
Baby feel it when I say, you're a butterfly,
MY BUTTERFLY - FLY AWAY.....
TC, and never stop dreaming, even in your dreams.. <3 :)

The day, as unexpected as others...( a new story written by me)
The day, as unexpected as others
She sat in the Starbucks cafe, sipping her coffee and staring out of the window. The blood-stained knife lay next to her handbag, covered with her blue silk scarf. With every sip of coffee, she tried to release her stress, however, the flashback of events throughout the day, tormented her. She was going through an amalgamation of emotions, and all she needed was, a peaceful time for herself, away from the crowd, to assimilate what had just happened with her. So, as soon as she was done with the coffee, she wrapped that knife with her scarf secretly, put it in her handbag, paid the bills, and pranced out of the café, in haste. Then she took a cab ,and headed towards her home, which took approximately 45 minutes from the café, and sometimes even more, as per Pune’s traffic. But the day was not meant to end that way. She had woven a lot of dreams, carried tones of hopes to make her parents feel proud of her. After all, it was her first job interview.
It was a gay day for Stuti. She was a little bit nervous, but her excitement had camouflaged everything. She had been preparing for a long time for this interview and that reflected her determination. She received blessings from her parents and a shy ‘best of luck ‘from her younger brother. She was boosted up with confidence now. Stuti was an Engineering student, from Computer Science stream, and she had always aspired to become a Software Engineer. Today, it was her chance, to achieve it all and surely, she had taken her first step, to realize her dreams.
She reached the company office and waited near the reception, for her turn, as she had been told- she would be called. As she had to wait for quiet sometime, her hands, holding the documents’ file, started shivering and the A.C. near her added fuel to fire. Finally, her turn came and she was called in, with her documents and the required stuff. As she entered the cabin, she greeted the interviewers warmly. It was a panel of two interviewers, sitting in front of her. Now, the interview session began, with her brief introduction. She replied to it flawlessly. After all, this answer was something she had been working on, throughout her final semester. One of the two interviewers, named Shahid Malviya, who barely looked around his early thirtees , got highly impressed listening to her hobbies and creative quotient , and applauded her. Stuti was glad. She was answering most of the technical questions correctly, although, one or two tricky ones that she‘d gone wrong with, were corrected by the senior interviewer Mr. Deshpandey .
Now, suddenly, within a blink of her eyes, Shahid Malviya came and sat beside her. She thought, they are trying for a stress-interview , and so, kept that soft smile ‘on’. Shahid asked a personal question to which she kept mum for a while. He asked her if she had a boyfriend. Stuti was perplexed, because of the manner in which he asked her. Sitting just next to her, his bulging eyes got fixed on her awestruck face. He repeated the question a bit rudely. She responded with a ‘no’ .He smiled, and moved his chair closer to her, and she was continually and slowly,trying to push her chair backwards. Mr. Deshpandey, was merely a keen observer of the scene. Stuti ,at the first place, had been assuming these as a part of the stress-interview. Now ,Deshpandey uttered something, to her surprise .He said that she had all the apt qualifications and requisite capabilities, to manage the job. He also mentioned, that she had performed exceedingly well in the interview and was ready to work with their expanding organization ,but…..then came a condition. That ‘but’, everything depended on it.
Shahid was much more interested to explain the terms and conditions, and the ‘but only if’ condition. Stuti’s heart, which had started singing victory songs for a moment, had now started pumping at a jet’s rate. In her heart, she prayed to God, to give her the courage to cross the coming hurdle and grab her dream job. And Shahid continued to speak,” But only if, you…..I guess you understand what I want to say.” Stuti wanted to clear all her doubts, and so, she said, “No, I don’t.” He was already sitting only one inch farther, and by shifting his chair even closer to her, he wanted to remove even that distance. Stuti had everything very clear in her mind, but, was it too late?
As he moved his hand towards her face, she started sweating and stood up, trying to run away. And he, before she could act, twisted one of her hands, ruthlessly, making her sit there again. Her throat got choked, but then, she gathered some courage to shout for help, and he covered her mouth with his hands. She was in tears, because she couldn’t believe it was all happening with her. Then something clicked her, and she found a ray of hope, when she saw the interviewers’ left-over Dosa plate, at the other corner of the table. The plate contained some leftover chuttney , and the ray of hope ,’knife and fork’. She had to make her hands reach there. Now, she cleverly started acting as if she had fainted, and he released her hands and mouth to see, what had happened. He sent Mr.Deshpandey to bring the private nurse .As he moved out, she acted swiftly. Without wasting her time, picked up the knife, and before he could again take over her, she bit his hands and then wounded him with the knife, in the maximum possible. Saw him busy with his bruises and cuts, and she grabbed her handbag and ran towards the door, and finally got out. He could do nothing, as a number of questioning eyes would stare him and wouldn’t spare him then, as all the staff and other cabins were just outside that chamber .As she walked out of that place, she noticed that she had taken the knife with her in all that rush, and before anyone else could notice, she took out her silk scarf and covered the blood-stained knife, and exit that office building. She saw a café nearby, called as ‘The Starbucks Café’, a place where she could sit and get some relief.
Now, when she was about to reach home, all this was revolving round and round in her head-‘the expectations, the emotional ups and downs faced in a single day, the fear’. Finally, a strong lady who had emerged from ‘within her’, proudly smiled and thanked God, as she took out partially, the blood-stained knife from her handbag and again , kept it inside. She realized it that day, that life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and nobody gets a prior notification about it. So, being ready to face-whatsoever, and change our DESTINY can be one possible option for it. The other can surely be, to surrender to the situations, and then console ourselves lifelong that it was just WRITTEN IN THE DESTINY.

And I totally agree on this..
I regularly go through so many 'words of wisdom' /'food for thought ', and similar stuff...but from the time I've gone through this simple yet 'mind-boggling' quote...
Couldn't resist sharing it:
When God pushes you to the edge, trust Him because only one of two things can happen.
Either He will catch you when you fall or He will teach you how to fly....

THE DREAM
"Carefree and careless ,is all I wanna be;
the world I've left untraveled, I feel ,today I need to see..
Have lived enough for the crowd around,
for me is once I wanna live.
Have tried till possible, to make my dreams converge to the world;
today, to my dream, it's the respect which I wanna give.
Want now to jump,once into the ocean of my thoughts;
want once to proceed for my dreams ,
and forget all its flaws.
The dream is what, I wanna believe in once;
and wanna tell the world-"Roses are much more powerful than the guns".
Wanna go to a long drive,with the intention to never come back;
when I'm alone with my dream, and
there's no uncrossable hurdle in my racing track.
Wanna race now, with full speed,
when my dream needs no seat-belt;
and my dream feels itself to be lucky,
which somehow had its importance felt.
Want once to convey my dream,
I'm not its owner, and that I'd never been;
and wanna pat it proudly and tell it,
I'm its true companion ,and will promise always to be.
Finally ,wanna bow down to the mother nature,
wanna thank her for all she bestowed;
it's only 'cos of her inspiration,
that some people still dream with open eyes,
when the rest prefer dreaming with their eyes kept closed..."
TC, & never stop dreaming, even in your dreams.... :) :)
