The one for whom I compose this Song
A pinch of right and a pinch of wrong Is the one for who I compose this song He’s bitter, He’s sour But maybe that’s the flavors of his heart He’s dedicated, He’s divine But maybe its just his less known part His journey is not this short; it is rather long Of the one for who I compose this song So much pain is in there In the heart that he bears Yet I see him smile Even when nothing good he hears Never had a friend, did he for very long The one for who I compose this song At times he can get greedy Wanting more than…

The Mitesh Kanani
He woke up early morning at five, like his usual routine. It was a bright and chirpy morning. The first rays of the Sun were starting to make his window glow bright. This was the time of the day which he enjoyed the most. He was awake, yet not out of bed. After a few moments, he felt his wife get up from the bed and leave the room for the morning chores. He heard his kids wake up. It was the best feeling in the world. Every morning when he heard their voices, it made the days better and life more beautiful. It was the same routine every day.…

The Rhythm of my own Song
They want me silent They want me controlled They need me to fit their perfect mould To walk and talk like a lady to cook and clean and be a heliolatry To be the one who’s easily defined not too rugged but can sail through every grind. But in my head, stuck there is a song it is not too loud but it has been there all along Its speaks of a place I want to see It speaks of the people who wish, just like me It sings the verses of brave knights of battles and wins here, I can only dream at night It tells about the women…

Seat in a Metro : Ladies Special
If you have ever travelled by the Delhi Metro or have a basic idea about it, you would know how the Seats are divided, still let me give a brief intro – basically – The first compartment is reserved for ladies only (except in the violet line – as far as I am aware). Any male passenger is requested not to travel by this. 4 seats per compartment are marked for ladies. 12 seats per compartment (except in the first and the last compartment where only 8 seats) are marked for the old or the physically challenged passengers. Now whenever a new girl enters the metro compartment, she will…

Amarendra Bahubali : The prince raised by a Queen
CAUTION : This contains references to Baahubali : The Beginning and Baahubali : The Conclusion. The post has been written with the thought that the readers are familiar (if not proficient) with the main characters and story line of the movie(s). We all must have come across the famous quotation on facebook – ” A man who treats his girl as a ‘Princess’ is a proof of having brought up by a ‘Queen‘ “. If I were to describe Amarendra Baahubali in one word, he is this man who is being referred to in the quotation. This sentence has been just a beautiful quotation that has set a standard…

The I-Love-You Conundrum
I LOVE YOU! Often considered to be the three most beautiful words to be ever heard, they are actually misunderstood. Simply putting it, loving someone doesnt mean that you get married to the person, have kids and spend rest of your life with them. I love chocolates but all the fore said things are not possible with chocolates. Now, you would argue that a chocolate is not a living entity. So, I love dogs, especially puppies. Who can not love those tiny bundles of soft fur, button eyes gleaming with innocence and cute faces. Again, you can argue that I am a human. So, let us get more specific. I…

A letter for the departed … HAIR
Disclaimer : I recently read an article on ‘The Sneeze’ blog which is similar in nature. It is the article that inspired me to do this one. However, I solemnly swear that this is not copied and that I am going through the pain that the author of that article had once undergone (I hope it worked out for him.). ————————————————————————————————————— Dear Hair Everyday you fall down and trust me, even though I never feel it on my skin, it pains my heart deeply to see you leave. I have never been good with goodbyes and so I never say a word but I expected you to know of the…

The Train
While browsing the Merriam Webster portal today, I checked that they have few interesting quizzes, word of the day section, puzzles like daily sudoku and interesting articles. Having checked the word of the day for the day and past week, found that I have a better score than the average score for my age in a vocabulary quiz and having played a game of sudoku in under five minutes, I turned to the interesting and informative articles! For someone like me – who loves to read, who loves to learn, who loves to learn new languages and who wants to improve their proficiency in the English language, these articles are…

Harry Potter Questions :: Why are muggle born underage witches and wizards allowed to do magic?
Why isnt there any magic supervision for the muggle-born children? I just thought of all the fuss everyone makes when Dobby performs the Hover Charm in Harry’s house and when Harry performs the patronus. I also remember Dumbledore telling Harry how magic is NOT detected by underage wizards if an adult wizard is around. However, to read an excerpt from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – “Are you sure that’s a real spell? said the girl. ‘Well, it’s not very good, is it? I’ve tried a few simple spells just for practice and it’s all worked for me. Nobody in my family’s magic at all, it was ever such…
