It's 1996. Waking up at 7.00AM and getting dressed. Wearing a cleanly pressed white Kurta Pyjama and pinning the tricolour on the chest. Going downstairs and attending the flag hosting ceremony in the compound, singing the national anthem and getting 2 Eclairs. Life was good.
25 Years Later: Sleeping until 9.00 AM Waking up to see that the flag hoisting in the compound is already over. Switching on the TV to see patriotic movies played. Going to YouTube and playing Sandese Aate Hain in full volume. Happy Independence Day!!
A song on the lips Gifts and a precious smile Flowers, chocolates, teddy bears Holding hands and walking a mile Love is in the air You have beautiful hair Don't ever leave me ever Promise to be there for me now or never Lines are cheesy, well who said love is easy Imperfections and Insanity Coupled with anxiety and curiosity Love life, rise and shine Oh! Today happens to be Valentine!
Somwhere, deep down in our hearts We have kept our emotions choked One day it will flow, like a thousand rivers But by then there will be no purpose left in life. Don't let toxicity rule you. Let the river of emotions flow now than later.
Cheers! She said to herself as she popped up the champagne and poured a glass for herself. This was her routine since the last twelve years. Celebrating a heartbreak every year. Finally at 30, she found freedom. Lying in her own pool of blood with shards of glass buried deep in her neck.
Some people prefer to talk it out Some people don't Some vent it out on others Some vent it out on themselves Some just rant Some get consumed Your good days end up being bad And bad days, worse
Help is necessary in any form Healing is what is important!
