22 years back
I said good bye to my mother's womb

20 years back
...

You may call her selfish
You may criticise her views
You may consider her fragile
You may kick her around
...

You walked behind me
Then you walked with me
And now you are two strides
Ahead of me..
...

What is so 'good' about goodbye
When it ends a chapter in your life
A chapter that you enjoyed to the core
To read through...
...

Is it a pain or is it jealousy
Is it a wound or a scar
Is it quite a misunderstanding
Or is it an enveloping shell?
...

People come in and go
As they please
Lord, grant me the wisdom
To understand this eternal truth
...

Lord....
I don't know why the storms arise
I am not sure why the ship is tossed
I just can't comprehend why I feel lonley
...

When somebody comes in to your life
unless the strangeness ceases and
he or she is true to the end,
Remember the door through which the stranger came in
...

She felt the pain somewhere deep down

She wanted to cry aloud;
She wanted to shout and rave
...

He said, ' You are beautiful'
She didn't move.
He said, ' You are a genius'
She didn't smile.
