Volume IX; February 2011

No one could ever know me

No one could ever see me

Seems you're the only one who knows

What it's like to be me

Someone to face the day with

Make it through all the rest with

Someone I'll always laugh with

Even at my worst I'm best with you, yeah

0 Dream Girl

Many times when I think of you

I look at the vast open sky

The damsel of my dreams

Playing hide and seek

Behind those swarming white clouds

0 A Thought for this V-Day

With rights comes responsibility, and this is not just a cut paste statement from a school book on civics but rather a fact of life that is prevalent in every aspect. I have often observed that people expect a lot from their relationships but do not spare a single thought on what they have given to make the bond strong and deep. Therefore, I am giving a piece of 55 fiction that describes this thing with a rather sad ending.

0 Yet another night..

Last night, when the night seemed so long

Playing on the radio, was such a beautiful song.

All by myself, I sat in my balcony

Thinking of you, the better half of me.

0 Till death do us apart

Its drizzling again. I am sitting in my room thinking of something to do. I stare out of my window at the dull sky which clearly expresses its mood. The wind is cool and sometimes brings a refreshing spray into the room. Its almost evening but the sun is on a sick leave making the atmosphere feverish.

I look out of my window. There she is. Sitting in her balcony. All by herself. Thinking about him. Thinking about all the time she spent with him. Wondering what she is doing here, alone, without him alongside her as he had always been. Her eyes are fixed at the stream of water flowing on the road, suggesting she is deep in thought. She hadn't planned for this. She'd never imagined it to end like this.

1 First Night's Dialogue

‘Shhh…What are you doing?’
‘Nothing unusual…considering it is our first night!’
‘This is against the law. I mean, custom!’
‘Law? Custom? What rubbish! You got to respect basic instinct, honey.

0 Love is...

Love is when you meet someone
And know there is no one else...

It takes away your breath
And your heart begins to melt...

0 Valentine's Day - A peep into history

Valentines Day today is all about Declarations. Someone is someone else's Valentine. If someone is not, then someone is depressed. If someone is NOT depressed, society reacts in such a way, that someone has no recourse, except to get depressed, thanks to things like Hallmark etc.

What is this big hype all about?

0 Once a Valentine, always a ..........

“There was no such thing as Valentine’s Day when we were young. Tell me,” she said, “would you have sent me a Valentine’s Day card if it was a practice to celebrate it in our times?”

“Hmmm...Yes, of course!” I said quickly realising that there cannot be any other answer to the question. One must be on his guard when such topics get discussed.

She smiled. “You are not honest.”

“That is unfair to me. You can’t say that to me.”

0 My Heart will go on...

It is Valentine’s Day. The day of celebrating love and all it entails. The day of happiness, warmth and affection, not only for your partner but also for everyone who you share a special bond with. A day on which even the most unromantic person cannot let all the mush around him go unnoticed and is prompted to join the expressing-my-love brigade.

You were there for me, when I was all alone…

You embraced me, you profiled my clone…

You gave me an identity, which I could call mine…

0 How to keep your kids safe from adult Youtube videos

YouTube is considered as the best website for online videos, as all kind of videos are available in Youtube. But the sad part is, as all of us know Youtube contains all kind of videos including porn videos.

Keeping kids safe on internet is very important. Even though YouTube provides an option such as:

“This video is not suitable for minors under 18 years of age. Please sign up or sign in to confirm your age.”

parents are worried as kids could just sign in with a fake email id and watch the unwanted videos.

0 Trip to Dreamland and back

There must be thousands of travelogues documenting visits to Khandala/Lonavala. But even then I could not resist writing one myself. The real beauty of these twin tourist spots is evident during the rains when the entire region is the birthplace of innumerable streams dancing down the hills making the scene fresh out of the most beautiful dreams!!!
