The Little Flower: My Amusement

-

I want to run, you want me to walk
I want to laugh, you want me to smile
I want to dance, you want me to sing
I want to write, you want me to read
I want to be altruistic, you want me to be mean
I want to paint, you want me to find a rainbow
I want to sleep, you want me to wonder
I want to love, you want me to surrender
I want to live, you want me to dream
I don't want to live with you and you don't want to leave!!!

    I wanted a rainbow but was asked to paint instead.

A Delicate Mind

To my utter dismay, that duck flew straight down on the floor and crashed. It died there and then. The colours splattered everywhere. I just could not believe it. My most treasured gift from my father… in fact till then, the most treasured gift from anyone and all I wanted to do was share it with my cousins, show them the beautiful masterpiece. I took the pieces together and started praying thinking miracles could happen… how naïve I was. I prayed and prayed… my innocent mind thought prayers meant getting things done!!! My cousins got so scared looking at the shattered glasses that they just left me in my misery. Probably they were horrified too! Father came home and first I asked him not to get angry then showed him the glasses that were there in my tiny naked hands. He looked at me, took the pieces away, helped me to wash my hands gently but did not utter a word. It must have cost him a fortune, that rainbow duck, but he did not say anything. He probably understood...

One Day: Busy..oh so busy..always!!! I have forgotten to relax she says and she has. Sad but that is the depressive truth. She came in front of me and said that she is finding difficulty in breathing for she does not know what mindfulness is all about. I look at her, this woman who has so much to offer but she is a mere shadow now engulfed between the demands of her life slowly killing the desires of her existence. She starts with her monologue and I listen. Who am I to judge anyone for my task is to listen with a kind face. She explains the chemically enhanced state of mind, the pains surrounding the decisions she takes, the misinterpreted actions of hers, the desires not synchronizing with the reality of her survival and finally the incomprehensible thoughts complicating a simple life. We talk about life in general then she tells me how she is living in the virtual reality. She says she enjoys but also worries that each passing moment is becoming a memory. She complain...

Story for My Diary....

Busy Being Fabulous by Eagles playing in the background while I write Calmness that surrounds me is frightening. Always on a lookout for something to happen, some news to slap my face, some character to ditch me, some love to evaporate before it even sees the daylight and then this sudden calmness makes me delusional. I have forgotten to comprehend life now. I do not understand the twists and turns it holds so I just let the calmness run through my body. Five in the morning and I decide to step out in the balcony. Oh goodness me…the chill is amazing. I am on top of the cloud and when the mist kisses my cheeks, I feel that warmth, that purity amidst the morning bliss. I stare at the greenery ahead. I look down at the lone hotel that is hidden below and think how romantic a life it is to be living in a place like this. Far away from the busy city, farther away from dust and pollution, and farthest from the scrutiny of humankind. A rich country for its natural beauty and a poor ...
