I somehow knew
as clearly as if
you were holding a placard

maybe you actually were
I don't really remember
for we met
many memories ago

You didn't crack a smile
or blabbered
like I would
But still I knew

That I have met
the one
to dance wildly with
when it thunders
and rains

I remember you,
a green crumpled kurta
in the sea of stiff white shirts;
a cup of adrak chai,
among overpriced teas;

Weren't you like my old yellow quilt, darling?
one that smells of all the love we made;
Didn't your guitar sound like the morning sun,
that wakes me up everyday?
Wasn't your touch like the oversized tee,
I sometimes wear to bed?
Tell me, if you still smell of my perfume,
the one you always loved?

I wonder if I remember you well
or have memories gone astray ?
Are you, are you still
that old green kurta,
I long for in this stiff white wave?

Dear A,
I think I should write. A little, everyday. Shape my unsettling thoughts. They keep tossing, roaring like those waves I love staring at. May be pouring out parts of me to you, sharing glimpses of all the thoughts raging inside me would mould these bits and pieces into something. Be my 'pensieve' and maybe I can understand everything better.
I thought I should call you something, like Anne Frank wrote to 'Kitty'. I couldn't think of anything but this one syllable.

He grabbed my hand,
His pants down
I screamed, I ran away
I was 12,
walking to school,
humming an old tune,
I never took the same route again

I was 22,
My city had changed,
He had a different face
But I was still a piece of meat,
The scene was almost the same

And then there is that one love. That one great, maddening love. The one they all talk about but noone gets because it's too consuming. The one that she thought of as she took her last breath. 'You are here', she whispered, looking beyond her grieving husband

I finally plucked up the courage and dialled her number.
"Hello, I.. " she started, but I cut her off before I could chicken out.
"Hey, there is something I wanted to ask,
Umm.. would you would you go out on a date with me? ", I blurted, heart hammering loudly.
Silence. And then she started laughing. Now, this was the last thing I had expected.
"Yeah, yeah, why not. Let me just ask my daughter if it is alright with her", she said trying to suppress her laugh.
"Oh, um, namaste auntie", I stammered, embarrassed.
Yes, that's my luck!

At times
your face pops up
from nowhere
inside my head
and billions of neurons
unite to call out your name
It echoes inside me
your name;
keeps bouncing in zig zag
from head to toe,
for my lips
don't let it escape.
so it keeps on going
till every cell in me
knows only you

At times,
at times like these I wonder
if you without hearing hear
without knowing know
that somewhere
inside someone
there's a universe
ringing with just a sound
that's you!

I can't remember
the last time I wished you
on your birthday

what I got you
what you wore
what we did
what amma cooked

I remember the days before
I remember the ones after
but the last one has vanished
like it never happened

I only dreamt of colleg then
So, maybe it just passed
like any other day

But now every year
I want to go back

I want to remember
how I said happy birthday
how you smiled
your loopy half smile
how we laughed
how we fought

I want to remember
that one last time!

Happy Birthday!

If I could
I would
sing and dance
and sing some more
with you
everyday

For you
make it easy
to laugh
when I can hardly smile
to sing
when I can never
carry a tune
and to love
when I don't want to

For you
told me
that I am love
that we are love

For you
make me sing
and dance
and laugh
a little everyday
even without you

Happy Birthday!
