In a matter of seconds..

I had just finished feeding him with few chapatis and a bowl of milk. After patting him for a while, I started moving towards my house. Screeching tires accompanied with a loud scream was enough to derail me. I turned back and a car zoomed past me, but what it left behind was blood and remains of the dog which I used to feed.  It was so sudden, I didn't want to believe it. Many years have gone by and I still don't believe it. I was left dumbstruck and failed to understand what had just happened. In a matter of seconds, the world seemed to be different place altogether. It took me few minutes to regain my senses. Failing to understand what to do, where to go, I just sat near the pool of blood for some time.



With whatever strength was left inside me, I started heading back towards my home. My parents never allowed me to keep him as a pet but they didn't stop me from loving and pampering him outside the house. I still yearn for him by my side..accompanying me while I used to walk. Till that time, I was unaware of what it was like to lose a loved one.


He was my heart.  He was friendly and was the one everyone wanted to take home. We used to run, walk, play and what not.I didn't tell anyone of what had happened that day.  Daily mom used to make food for him and I used to throw that at some corner.


Till now, I tear up every time I think of him.  I started to detach myself from pets until recently the attachment came back. I started loving dogs and cats again!

Between odds and the ones!

It's odd how those who were complete strangers are the ones who are now the best buddies It's odd how those who never expressed their feelings while they were together are the ones who end up becoming a couple It's odd how those who show me the highest love  are the ones who expresses it the least in words It's odd how those who express the love in words  are the ones who end up hurting the most It's odd how those who botched up every damn thing are the ones who make you feel chagrined It's odd how those who plead for mercy, pardon are the ones who deserve it the least It's odd how those who are always smiling and make you smile are the ones who have overcome many griefs It's odd how those who have been through many griefs/heartbreaks are the ones who can always overcome the pain Probably, It's odd because everything can be related to time and space.. But for me, It's odd because I don't think its odd!(o

Ramblings Again!

Consider a situation where you are signing a pact with  chariness, lack of authenticity and selfishness. You might ruin, in fact poison the relationship even before laying the foundation stone. People with whom you are dealing with will have a hard time in the face of your  incredulity, they won't be disputed to rise to your level of expectations. Over the years, I've learnt one thing. O ne should prefer concentrating on the goodwill of mortals who are doing work with you. No matter what you do, where you go, you are bound to encounter those handful of people who will try their very best to disappoint to you but eventually you'll understand that is their sole purpose of life. One thing, which I've understood during PG course is the importance of an open mind and an open heart but that just increases the vulnerability.  Maybe, one should give others a chance to live up to our trust and others should not be on a hunt to try to cultivate trust in spite of knowing

A teardrop in the lake..

It was an unusual winter evening, she was sitting at the corner of a semi-frozen lake, looking at the patches of water with her panoptic eyes. I was on the other side of the lake, sitting on a bench under a maple tree, trying to write something but she took a majority of my attention. I could see her nose inhaling the intoxicating air from the lake. There were people in front of us, trying their luck at fishing. Without any expression - be it sadness or happiness, she was staring at the lifeless lake. I again tried to resume my writing but my eyes kept on looking at her. The sun was in its final stage of descend, the darkness had spread its arms, engulfing the complete surrounding. I could see apparitions of those walking around the lake, couples probably. There was no sunset in the corner of the lake, yet there was something in the whole environment, which made it picturesque. I collected my stuff, packed my bag and started to walk towards the other side of the lake. A few f
