My Lazy Girl

I looked at him with all the love in my eyes and said, “Nothing! I don’t want anything.” The weather was exactly how I wanted it to be. Night was about to knock the door of the evening. I looked at him; he was busy over a phone call with his manager about some deliveries. I shifted my gaze towards the sky. I peeped out through the window and looked at the dark clouds and to the highway which was ahead us. I knew this moment will never return again. I knew we could never be the same again, and he would never be so- mine again. That moment I had everything I could pray for. A supportive family at my back, non judgmental school friends, the weather and Him. He hit his elbow against mine to check if I was getting bore by his work calls but I was doing fine with my thoughts. I smiled back in response and he winked. Unaware of the thoughts in my head, I was somewhere relieved that he wasn’t aware of the streets I was roaming in. To me, he was my entire world. For him...

I crossed my arms across my chest and wiped my salty tears. I gasped heavily to collect the shattered pieces together . Somewhere at 11:45 in the night, I sat on the same bench in the park where things once started. I felt there was no one to share my ice cream that moment but only the memories which I once made.  I slide on the slope of the memory lane like a kid but got afraid when I didn’t find anybody to tell how weird the journey was. The darkness of night which once felt warming was now my only companion in solitude. The long discussions of work- life balance was now lost. I lost a part of my life and work altogether. Oh that made me believe I was wrong! At 12:02 in the night, I was proved wrong when I once tried to press the pause button of life. The tight slap of time conveyed me that happiness can not be found in the stars and the clouds!! Crawling in each other’s arms was nothing but a myth that didn’t solve the purpose. Hugs and kisses were n...

Let’s slow down again and brush our yellow teeth in the morning together. Let’s crawl in each other’s bed again And take those sleepy selfies together.  Somewhere at 11:45 in the night, let’s be in our pajamas and sit on a bench, somewhere in the park and consume that ice cream tub together. Let’s slip back in the memory lane and tell each other how weird our childhood was. Let’s revive and polish the blurred mirrors like the old wines in New bottles. Let’s get soaked in the darkness of night that has a  sound of nocturnal bird humming in the background. Let’s get into some serious discussions of work life balance which we always strive to achieve yet fail miserably. Let’s just make each other understand, that life is not all about rushing and achieving. Come, sit! Take a hault. This moment, this very moment of 12:07 am, when we sit together with our ice cream cups is our very own! Let’s endure the definition of happiness that life tends to offer at differen...

Remove the mask of flawlessness and diplomacy. Shed the fears of getting judged. Don’t shy away to smile in your ugliest form. It’s always fine this way. I know by this time everyone’s waiting to change the calendars on their wall. It’s the second last day of this year and everyone is engrossed in making plans of what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. While other half of the population might be wondering which car, property, shares to invest in as their pundit ji might have forecasted the expected behaviors of their Raahu and Ketu(all about astrology u see). Basically all the people I am encountering on my Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram are busy planning for 2019. It’s a new year after all; we all need to prepare for it. Going to the already over loaded, over priced clubs and bars with layers of makeup paired with the painful stilettos and cheering up in the crowd with bottles of beer is something for the kids now a days( what’s the point of screaming whe...

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...
