My Lazy Girl

He crossed his arm across mine, held my hand and blew a soft kiss over it....... It has been raining the entire day. Monsoon has knocked the door of India. Impressive !! I have just came from office after attending a meeting with my lead and after completing all the work but rain falling down my window pane keeps me invigorating! I am alone in my room in this beautiful weather (injustice, isn't it?) . I so wanna go out but nobody to accompany me. Ahh ...Let it be !! Rain reminds of many things... Rain reminds me of Kabir...!! Not again.... I said to myself as I shut my eyes, crush myself in my bed, put on my headphones but it didn't help !! The sad song made the situation even more worse. I forced Kabir that day for a night out by showing my puppy face. I knew he won't say a No to me so I used my puppy face as weapon considering all the odd factors. 11:00pm -- the clock read ! Kabir and I boarded the bus that time. I was so enthralled about my night out, that

 We ignored the red alert of the nature !! We were    given a hint... But Alas !! Fortune had its own mischievous tricks to play. It was coming......................... !! Everything comes to life, when planet Earth experiences a lovely shower. The soil emitts it's true fragrance when intermingled with the heavenly drops. Leaves and flowers radiate their bold colours out of sheer happiness. Humans like me, spread their arms, close their eyes and gaze at the sky.... Welcoming every kiss from nature on their bodies. But that day, it wasn't the case !! It was my first November in Chennai, November 2015 !! When as usual, I slipped in my blanket with the rain falling on my window pane. My sleep was disrupted with a frightening hustle and shivering voices of my friends and roomates. 8:23 am(IST), my phone reflected the time with a notification of "battery low" , 13% remaining !!  No electricity since last night. As I stepped out of my room, I was amazed

Again I closed  my eyes, performed my last prayer, bow my head again to seek for strength and tame my dragons so as to ignore him and I walked away .......... !!  Sometimes we have everything in our lives except contentment. The quest for answers and peace took me to "Bangla Sahib Gurudwara". With a dupatta on my head, I submitted myself in the feet of that super power . I closed my eyes and burst into fresh bout of tears. I was alone in Gurudwara today without any friends. A flash back hit my mind like a storm. I clearly remember, how we used to go to Gurudwara in Chennai. There were two reasons behind it. Firstly we used to get "langar" ( a good Punjabi food, first offered to the God, then to devotees). Being a Punjabi, south India food was something hard to live on ! Secondly, it made us feel homely.  We used to meet people who belong to our community. Rawjyot, Kabir and I were constants. But today nobody was there with me. It was raining that day wh

Why am I not happy than I used to be an year ago...... I was sitting at the corner of the table, eating my sandwich, checking my phone to avoid solitudeness. I sat there for a while staring at the happy faces of people having lunch together. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for a meeting I was hardly interested in, with the people I don't admire! I went to washroom, did a touch up, put on my fake smile and there I was - a perfect IT professional who was least bothered about her work. On the way to meeting room a message popped up on my phone, reading - " I am missing you so much, come soon and meet me !!" Vaishali !! "I miss u even more" replied I. Training was over, so were the good days. My entire batch was relocated either to their home town or to some unknown cities. While others who were among "A" grade performes were retained in Chennai with a trap to become team leaders for the next batch. Our trainers taught us about the variou

I felt like a Queen who was ready to ride among the stars with those dense clouds to conquer the world !! I followed Peter, as I surpassed the security check on the entrance. I was mesmerized to see the whole new world when I stepped in. "Hurry up, come here ! This is the line to our counter", Said Peter as he held my arm and dragged me in while I was enjoying the aura of the place. He looked calm and normal but for me, this was my the first flight of my life . As I studied the place there were many counters with many beauties and handsome guys addressing people with a sweet smile. My train of observation was abrupted by a gentle voice. "Mam can I see your ticket?" Asked a smoking handsome gentleman as he gestured his hand towards me. I fell for him that moment. "Of course yes !", I said when otherwise I wanted to shout, "ohh darling take my heart, let alone bother about a stupid ticket." (Wink) After matching the details he gave me th
