Dear December

You pass by in an anticipation of a new year
Yet a little longer than needed you linger
Filled with flashbacks of the going year
You leave a lot behind, Dear December.

You're a chance to reflect back with candour
how was turned each page of calendar
learn what's gone wrong, what to prepare
You open the closed minds, Dear December.

Fallen faces of fall you cordially cheer
in its full glory when you welcome winter
Joyous jingles of Christmas turn merrier
As you kindle kindness, Dear December.

You dance in snow like you don't care
who's watching you, who's going to remember
To the passing year lullabies you whisper
And the year sleeps in your lap, Dear December.

You're the personification of my dream career. No matter how much I want to be what I want to be, my intuition is always there to remind me that I'm not really meant for it. Even if I get so close to having it in my grasp I'm still not going to have it in my fist. That's how it is with you and the love that existed between us!

स्वर्णिम विजय वर्ष

1971 युद्ध की 50वीं वर्षगांठ पर भारतवर्ष
हर्षोल्लास से मना रहा है स्वर्णिम विजय वर्ष ।

विजय की ज्वाला फैलाती देश के चारों कोनों में
मशाल नहीं ये है साहस जो बसता वीर सीनों में ।

भारत ने गढ़ी बांग्लादेश मुक्ति संग्राम की कहानी
संग जब लड़ी मुजीबुर रहमान की मुक्तिवाहिनी ।

मातृभूमि के सपूत एक्का-दहिया-सेखों-खेत्रपाल
दे गए परमवीरता के सबूत कर दुश्मन को बेहाल ।

तिरानवे हज़ार सैनिकों ने टेके थे घुटने अपने
खौफ से कांपे थे देखने वाले कश्मीर के सपने ।

In more than a month that I lived with you I don't think we did anything crazy (other than chugging at Spindrift) but we definitely did normal things in crazy ways. Drunk calling is old school, people. Learn drunk ordering, ice-cream from Zomato,from my best friend. Selfies in front of the mirror? Too cliché . Try clicking bottom up selfie of the reflection of two heads poking up at the roof of the elevator. Beer at the beach? Nah, that's for the terrace, with sunsets! We play kabaddi with the waves at the beach. (Dear Zindagi inspired fellows). Being mother to your bestfriend is too common. We were couples fighting over cheeni chaipatti. Midnight gossiping peppered with confessions and early morning philosophical talks on love and occupation, what a cocktail! Mornings turned into evenings, days into weeks and weeks into a month all in just a blink of an eye. Life happened to me and it was blissful because of you.

Sometimes it's easy to live
by pretending brain dead.
But then is life about living easy?
Why not, living hard isn't life as well.
