Flying to Fall...

Light enveloped me.
I basked in my triumph.
I had made it out of the pain,
that was to be.

I unrolled my wings,
And took off into the sky.
Besides me was my love,
Making me fly high.

Happiness took me higher,
His presence made me lighter.
He pushed me further into the light,
So much, that reality was out of sight.

He pushed me higher,
Higher into the sun.
It scorched my feathers,
The pain could not be undone.

Conscious of my ache,
He pushed me further into the sky.
Oblivious to his lie,
I hid my pain, and smiled fake.

All my feathers burned,
Of his deceit I then learnt.
I fell, with a cry, pleading for help,
His job was done, in joy he yelped.

Tears of anger, decorated my face,
The fall ended, there was an abrupt stop.
But I fell, fell deeper,
Entwined by death's reaper,
The glowing light still on top.


PS: This is my 50th blog post YAY!!!! Thanks to all for being there for me :)

Day 2 - The Moonlight Jive

A soft whisper stirred my nice reverie.

"Come, look out the window and see"

Welcomed, by soft kisses of the breeze,

I watched happily, the swaying of trees.

"Look up", came the soft whisper again,

Pearlish moon was smiling for me to see,

Many stars twinkling above like a crown,

A silent melody played softly just for me.

It gave me hope, took away all my fears,

It lightened the pain I had all these years.

"I've missed so much, of beauty in life"

I let go of past. joined the moonlight jive.

PS: Childish as it may sound.. I felt extremely good writing it :)

PPS: Belated thanks (:P) to HaRy for the follow :)

Day 12 - Neer Roppara Pandigai ( Water Filling Festival)

Diwali starts today night.
If my laptop had a mouth , it would scream. I'm typing this with half dried marudaani (on the other hand
now).

Okay so, today we had this, literally traslated, water filling festival :D
Its celebrated, to symbolically worship all the holy rivers, especially the Ganges.

Mom started off by making me smear a big steel pot with sunnambu (someone tell me what it is in english!) and then filling it with water and muttering a sloka at top speed.

Well then we lighted this awesome terracota lamp, with a Ganesha on it.

Then ofcourse, there is a tradition of making of hot bajjis and pakodas and my ever favorite kesari :D Thats diwali day one at my place :) Hope u guys are having a great time too...

PS: Thanks to Editor in Chief, Changing Crow... for the follow :)

Day 13 - The FAQs

Below are a series of questions I'm usually asked when people get to know me quite well....

I'm answering them here before hand...


1) Are you a girl? (Very popular this...)
A:  Have you considered wearing specs?


2) Why don't you behave like one?
A:  Is there a manual I can follow? Please do guide me to it.


3) How come all your best friends are guys?
A:  Frankly, I dont know. :D


4) Do you have any girl BFFs?
A: Yes I do. Mags. Poor girl has been with me since my school days.


5) Why do you believe in aliens?
A: Why dont you believe in aliens?


6) Death Metal?? Care to clarify?? (Thanks Vishnu)
A:  For some reason I find it soothing (even though mom thinks its cacophony) and I was goth.


7) GOTH????
A: Yes. Fate screwed me up badly, and I found solace in pain. I'm past the phase now, but I still find it hard to throw it away completely. ( I always gravitate towards black even now - which has lead mom to be my shopping manager :D)


8) What are you now?
A:  Confused. But extremely happy. (Partly because my Lacrimal glands have dried up)


9) Why are you inflicting yourself upon blogger?
A:  Leo blackmailed me into it. And its helluva fun :)


10) Are your posts meant to be funny?
A:  Depends. Do you have a sense of humour?


PS: Leo is bound to disagree with more than half the answers. :) :)

Thanks for the follow Snow White :)

Celebrating two readers :)

Sounds lame, I know.
There's been awful less to celebrate about ever since I left college. Quitting my first job in 15 days and escaping to Chennai, is by far the most exiting thing that happened in the past 6 months.

My previous attempt at blogging was read by just one person, Leo. He aptly pointed out that me being lazy to blog hop will never bring me readers :)

Oh well, I blog hop now :) . Because I need a serious hobby, or so my mom says [ She makes dolls with beads and wire, when she is pissed :) ]

Coming back to readers, Thanks Vishvak, for the follow :) :)
