I Imagine A World

I imagine a world where there is no judgementA world where people know they can make mistakesAnd learn from themThat sometimes it is okNot to know what to doA world with people who have positive criticismInstead of condemnation. Where everyone would seek good in others. A world where people care genuinely for others. Where love dominates hate. Where people have interest on developing others,Than…

I am Awesome.....

I am Awesome…..

For months the only thing I could hear were your disheartening, demeaning words. I couldn’t dream beautiful dreams at night. I had nightmares about you. Your unkind comments haunted me for months. Your disparaging comments wrecked me. When you said I was nothing without you, when you said even my own family wouldn’t want anything to do with a wretched like me, I believed those lies. You told me I…

You said I was a liability to youI added no value in your lifeI offered no solutionI was part of the problemThat I wasn’t part of your plansI wasn’t the kind of person You wanted to share your life withI was “your project”That you were done with meI should walk away I had a lump on my throatI couldn’t utter a single wordI walked awayWith my tail between my legsI went awayDown to my basementTo leak my woundsTo take stockTo gather some courageSo I can face the world again Now you are asking meCan we start over?Is it possible to forget the past?Can we start over, really?What are you asking me?A lot has changedWe have changedHurt words have been utteredWe are not the same people anymoreWe will never be the same again?I can never forget the pastCan you?Can We?

I Am Human

I get judged harshly, punished severely, mocked mercilessly. I get humbled by innumerable incidents daily. My vulnerability does not define me. I am not my let-downs, I am not my blunders. I am not my flaws, kerbs and inadequacies. There is more to me than that. I laugh, I cry, I get overwhelmed, I crack, I get annoyed,I fall in and out of love, I dream, I pursue, I err, I plunge, I rise, I grow,…

As I reflect on the year 2016, I cannot help but be grateful. I have been blessed to meet and interact with extra-ordinary beings from all walks of life. They have enriched my life in ways I can never imagine. Incredible humans who have inspired me to be a better person. They have encouraged me to aim higher and that against all odds one can achieve anything. They have touched my life in small and big ways. They have left footprints in my heart. They gave their best selflessly. Some I met face to face to face in the line of duty, some in platform like these. I appreciate you inputs, and support so much. I am because you are.I have been blessed abundantly in so many ways, good friends, good health and amazing loving family.Friends, 2017 is upon us, and I remain thankful of what I have, and experienced up to this moment. Even if I were to wake up tomorrow morning, and all of this is gone. I have fondness moments and memories that I will forever cherish. I am so thankful that you are all part of those cherished memories. I pray for protection over you and your family over this season. I hope that 2017 will bring about enormous and endless prospects for you.Let us all share the gift of love this season. Merry Christmas to all of you...

That numbing feeling insideThat makes everything around you vanishIt’s a magnified ache deep inside your heartThe feeling that blinds you from veracityThe feeling that strips away hopeThat’s snatches away the belief of tomorrowIt leads to a state of paralysisThe feeling that screamsI have been deceived I have been violated I am aggrievedIt is really that feeling that saysI have botched things upYou want it to stopYou cannot ignore itIt’s glaring in your faceIt’s been there since the beginning of mankindIts part and parcel of our existenceIt comes and goesIt tears you apartIt unnerves your fundamental core It breeds bitterness and angerIt causes depressionIt erodes love in your beingIt is physical, it is emotional

My Scars, My Experiences

I have physical and emotional scarsMy emotional scars can only be seen by fewThose who are able to look deep into my eyesMy physical ones are evident to everyoneI have no desire to hide themThey are an indication of the road travelledThey remind me of where I have beenThey are a sign of healingCause they are no more wounds They help me with empathize with othersThey are a constant reminder that I…

We were friends, we were pretty closeWe cared for each otherWe spent time togetherI couldn’t ask for a better friendWe knew everything about each otherThere were no secrets between usI understood and accepted youAnd vice versaThat was before we crossed “the lines”That was before the lines were blurredThat was when boundaries were still clearly demarcatedThere were no grey areasEverything was black and whiteSome doors are meant to be left closedOnce opened, there is no going back“Some” rules are meant to be observed holistically Didn’t we learn that the hard way?How I wish we could go backHow I wish we could close that doorWhich was meant to remain closedHow I wish we could be friends againCan we?Maybe Not

My Attempts at Writing

The Unscripted Me inside urges me to push the boundaries, cause it knows none. It is compelling me to make the circle bigger. The big ask is, how do I do that? Well if you have been to both sides like I have been, you would answer the call of the beast in your belly. The fire that burns within, the fire that says I want this. The voice within, which says I can no longer keep quiet. The silence…

The Unscripted Me inside urges me to push the boundaries, cause it knows none. It is compelling me to make the circle bigger. The big ask is, how do I do that? Well if you have been to both sides like I have been, you would answer the call of the beast in your belly. The fire that burns within, the fire that says I want this. The voice within, which says I can no longer keep quiet. The silence that I once defined is no more. I can no longer say I wish. Now I scream, now I reach out, and I grab what I want. If you have met the Intriguing Stranger like I did, the Stranger that became my friend. You would go on and say, Cut me some slack. I only leave once, and I am cajoled by the Cheap Thrills today, and I will go with the flow, just once. The ordeal I went through, gave rise to questions like, What kind of love is this? When I gave you the best of me, My heart and My All. And all I requested was Simply you. I asked you to Run away with me because I loved you and no one else. All I got from you was Betrayal, the Other woman, The past, your past that kept on haunting us. I asked myself questions, should I Leave or Keep on Keeping On? In my shoes, What would you do? When you see no Future with the person you love. If I am to raise the confident nation in my home, I need to get my priorities right. You need to leave us. When Peace seem to evade you when u need it the most. When my love is no longer enough to keep you faithful and committed to us. When you have failed to recognize the Nature of Temptation. I lost hope in you, I lost hope in US. I got acquainted to bad company. Now you want to take a High moral ground, at my expense? You want to know Why I did not fight for us, when you were the enemy. I need you to own this mess. This blame game and finger pointing Stops Now. The Awesome being inside nagged that I should forgive you so I can move on.

She tells me, my sister this man treats me bad. She tells me that he treats her like a piece of trash. He loses his temper, and yells at her for no apparent reason. She tells me, he calls her names. He belittles her in the company of others. He scolds her in front of their children. She says she loves him. Love Huh?I am expected to give her impartial counsel, Geez!!! What do I say? What do I tell her? What do I say to her? Do I tell her to leave him? Do I tell her to pray about it? Do I tell her to fight back? What do I tell her?She goes on and tells me that nothing she does delights him. He sees fault in everything she does. He is never pleased with anything. He second guesses her every decision. He makes her to second guess herself. He tells her she must go back home and learn how to submit. He claims that she doesn’t know how to handle finances and takes her salary at the end of the month. He takes decisions without consulting her. He mocks her at every opportunity he gets. She isn’t good enough for anything except for making babies. He forces himself into her. She spends weekends alone because he is out with boys the whole weekend. She isn’t allowed to question his whereabouts? He MUST approve her whereabouts though. She isn’t allowed to get a hired help around the house. She knows he has dalliances all over. I am so sick, I want to puke… This man and I should not meet in a dark corridor because only one of us will emerge, I swear. God help me I will squash him. He fails dismally being a father and a husband.What do I tell her? Do I tell her to retaliate? Do I tell her to leave him? I nudge myself so many times, my mind is racing from saying kill this son of a ….and divorce this excuse for a man no he’s no man, and he’s a monster.I am not in her shoes, I can’t decide for her. One old wise woman once told me that, a person in an abusive relationship need to make that decision that it is enough on their own. Only then they will carry it through. You cannot convince an abused woman/man to leave, it needs to within. I couldn’t hold my tears when she showed me bruises, cuts in her body. My blood boils as I take a look at her scars, bruises and cuts. What kind of an animal does this to his spouse?

Have we turned out to be so phony? Have we really gone so banal? Have we sank this low? I find this so hard to guzzle. I certainly do not want to believe it.I was raised to respect people based on the account that are homo sapiens, they are living souls, first before anything else. And certainly I demand that same respect from them. Should they achieve or perform anything more that requires respect that is really a windfall. However it does not really interchange the initial respect I have for them. Their good deeds, humanitarian work, the generosity, their success, their wealth really comes secondary to me.Their uprightness, their respect for fellow human beings, their principles, values counts the most. The way they carry themselves earns them respect. We are mortals whether we have it all or we have nothing. And I feel that respect should be given on the basis of that. We n Material things that is valued so much today might not be there tomorrow. Do we then cease to be people?Disrespecting those who have less, that’s vexes the living soul out of me.
