Tequila

Amidst the October night sky, The 15th element of the periodic table was flashing white, with flashes that flew low followed by a hebetudinous thump, her legs quaked as she felt the vibrations come up through the terra firma. The canines began to bark, the felines meowed louder than she could recall and then there was silence.
Blossom, was at the top floor of her building, her heart was racing with hopes as the final skyrocket had been launched and that was the concluding thud of the evening. She thought everything was coming to an end and finally she could catch up on her sleep. In that fraction of muteness she was at peace, and so were the pets, atleast they seemed to be. Just then a flash followed by a deafening boom shook the windows, sending the pets into the most demented delirium she had ever witnessed.

"Holy crap! Bloody son of a man..I just loathe this". The frustration piled up over the years was decipherable  in her dull voice full of annoyance and hatred.

"Calm down, its time that you better take these" said Joseph, handing out the prescribed shot of tequila. "Agreed that the dogs hate them but not all are bad." Stretching her arms, Blossom rolled her eyes in smoothest of way she did in many months. For Blossom, Joseph as a wonderful man to share her life with, she loved her more than she loved herself, but the phosphorous shimmering sky was something she could never accept even though it was colorful. A few shots of tequila mellowed her frustration a bit, though it burned a bit while consuming but for her it was better than what was happening outside.

"That was wrong!" Joseph exclaimed. 
“So according to you, I wont be inebriated, if I keep myself hydrated and consume citruses?" said Blossom

With another shot in his hand, Joseph explained, "Umm..well no..it isn't like that, you need to lick the salt, shoot the tequila, bite the lemon and then let the feeling travel through you as if you are a baby tasting something sour for the first time.” 

Blossom was a convinced and did exactly the same. Just then a skyrocket exploded in the sky but quietly in her heart. "Bearable I must say." She was about to say something to Joseph which she hadn't over the months but was interrupted by another deafening boom. "Effing fireworks! I love you Joseph"
"I love you too Blossom".Joseph was the only partner she had for now and for days to come before she departs for her final journey whose itinerary was decided by fate.

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
