WHAT WERE WE AFRAID OF LOSING?.......


What were we afraid of losing?
I know I was afraid of losing her.

I was afraid I would be hurt
Now I treat words like falling leaves, not a sharp knife.

When I have no words to counter the barrage from her
I leave the room.

Sometimes I stay and make faces at her
I let him fight with me.

Because that is love
Love slicing through silence like curtains pulled suddenly.

Too much sunlight makes us wince
Sometimes the view distracts us.

Why are you fighting with me, she says
You know why I am fighting with you, I say.

We fight because the silence stifles us
We fight to find out if we are still friends.

I fold some fights in the pages of time
Letting them mature over years.

By the time I bring them out between us
Some of them have become stories to tell.

Sometimes we start fighting as soon as we meet
As if we must accelerate everything.

There isn’t time for everything
So lets get straight to the point, lets fight to keep us together.

Ever since I have started working since the Jan of 2009, this is the first time I am getting a chance to do a trip with some of my friends. My best friend and some of his friends and some of his friends of friends are going to Goa . I & Vaishu would join them  in Goa on 2nd Oct ( Yes a dry day , I sound stupid :P )  and going to stay with them for the rest of the week. I feel excited about the trip. It might be a refreshing break from my usual work days routine. I am taking off of only one day but I will be getting a whole bunch of 5 days off.  – Which is a Thursday + the weekends. I am trying to not think about it too much and I am going to try be in the moment and think about it when I am actually there. The past trips I have had to Goa were the greatest off-course because Vaishu was around :P  This trip was the best, one good part is that I am going to be spending my own money, so the drinks and partying can be on the house all we want. Vaishu was going to meet for the fir

Remembering…Missing…Dad…

Please forgive a personal and less than jolly  blog, but my dad has been on my mind recently. Year upon year now have slipped quietly past since I last held him… last told him I loved him…. said a final goodbye. They say that time heals all wounds, but I’m not so sure. Perhaps it does apply a soft lens and some sepia tones to ones memories. There are certain times and life events during which the absence of loved ones is most acutely felt. Wedding, Festivals and the Birth of a child I’ve found rank high among these. So at this joyous time of New Year, please indulge me a very brief sad moment. It’s just that I do so wish my father could be with us… could see us all… hold us… kiss us. Please don’t feel you must read all of this. I’m really writing it for myself and for my family &; my siblings who would never get to meet Grandpa. I’m not saying my father was a saint, he was as flawed and human as any man.He was also always always slightly bigger than life. Perhaps that’s t

When you can't call, I'll understand.. When you'll have other plan's, I'll understand.. When you change, I'll understand.. When you're not ok, I'll understand.. When you're out with your friends, I'll understand.. When you can't talk, I'll understand.. If you don't have time to check on me, I'll understand.. But when I can't take it any-more.. IT'S YOUR TIME TO UNDERSTAND..... ................................................................................
