Words aren’t enough but words are all I have. So I will try and tell you in as many words that will still be grossly inadequate. You make me feel like morning dew! Have you ever noticed that you never see the dew forming? You just know it is there every morning. Green leaves are beautiful. The flowers are lovely. But have you seen what the dew did? It made the green leaves come alive with color. It has made the petals of the flowers sizzle. It created fragrance out of mud. It brought dead things to life. That is what you did to me, you brought me to life.

From the day I came to know you I’ve started loving myself even more. I know that I should be worthy of the appreciation of your eyes. I noticed that the cool stubble on me actually looked ugly. I noticed that a clean shave ensured my face radiated every time I smiled. I hence started to smile a lot. I noticed that every smile of mine was met by a fantastic movement of your lips that would bring the white world within with a mellifluous sound. The laughter of yours is so addictive that I wake up in the middle of the night wondering what made the sound of my alarm so divine. I wake up only to realize it was yet another dream of the face that has been transfixed in my heart which is slowly occupying my conscious and subconscious mind.

It is safe to say, I have been conquered.
I have no power over myself, no desire and nothing can take me higher.
I am lost in deep penance of a certain picture, a certain touch,
a certain fragrance I love so much.
I have been taken down and I accept that without a frown.
In vain I lead a life and call it mine
It has been yours since I knew love divine
Your voice is like a child grinning
oh! Look at me, I am singing!

I have been so lost in a total admiration that it never dawned upon me to see if those deep eyes held a speck that was me. Was there an impression or even a passing thought that recognized me as something? Did those eyes never read what my eyes had to say? It never occurred to my mind that it has to venture a movement of my mouth to express what I feel. How could it? Every time I see her I am just lost in some sweet wonderland and drop to earth only when I stop smelling her fragrance anymore. I am lost in such meditation that nothing on the face of the earth has the will to shake my attention off. But those eyes, they must know. Atleast they must know. If my eyes can talk they must have told a long odyssey of my undying love. But did the other pair of eyes have the ears?

Every day I religiously go and wait at the same place where I can steal a glance at you. I engage in casual conversations enjoying the sweetness of the sound as the breeze plays with your hair. I must admit I haven’t heard most of the things that you said because I was never good at interpreting music. I yearn one day to be able to tell you how you have blown me away. Then things will change. We might get closer and our intimacy will grow stronger. We will exchange each other’s worlds and I will understand how your life is just as normal as mine and how you are just as human as I am. But, I don’t know what it is with my current state? I can actually see a goddess in you who is worthy of undying devotion from someone who worships her dearly. I have been your most faithful devotee.
I swear my undying devotion to you.

See you tomorrow at the same place…..

Why Chelsea?

I’ve often held this grouse against Liverpool and Manchester United’s fans that when you tend to have a discussion with them they bring out the reference of the “glory” days of the clubs. Man U in some respects have continued their supremacy owing to the twin factors of a tenacious manager and some poor performances of their rivals. But Liverpool as long as I have followed the league have been very patchy. They throw in some brilliant unstoppable performances some times and play utterly clueless football at other times. There is no denying the glorious history of the club. They have been the club with the most number of premier league titles and a history that’s etched in stone and full of achievements. If anybody does begin giving me a lesson on the history of football where the club that I follow features very little in, one would still find an ardent listener in me, because ‘we love this game'. But to all those people who have followed the glory days of Arsenal and Liverpool,...

My Plea

Dear terrorist, I am a very harmless guy who works in a Company that has its HQ in the UK (not the US). I am a hindu by birth and believe me I had no control over that. Had I known what future had in store for me I would have definitely requested God to send me to a ‘religionless’ home. If you are wondering what I mean by that, then it means I would have requested God to have me born as a tribal in a remote place in Amazon or somewhere in Greenland. Trust me I still have your good interests in my mind. I won’t be a part of any prospering country or a citizen of the country owing much to its history and diversity exercises some amount of tolerance to these activities. Since the innocence in my birth is settled, I would like to clarify another very important aspect. I admire your religion very much. I totally believe in all that is said in the Quran and am ready to agree that it is the greatest religion ever. I am not sure you want people converted into that religion. Because when you...

Where's the money, honey?

Not much has been going in India apart from demonetization recently. Suddenly people are intrinsically rich but actually poor. The amount of money in circulation has gone down significantly and the bank coffers have gone up by INR 5.5 lakh crores. This was primarily touted as an attack on black money but now it has slowly started disrupting everyday lives of people. http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/RNdxOHenVluYuLx4iCw4JO/Modis-new-strike-against-black-money-backfires.html  This gives an idea of the people affected the worst. They have produce which is not durable and they don’t have people to sell their produce to. People do not have money in hand to buy vegetables and one cannot swipe at a local market. The salaried class who are primarily reliant organized trade for their daily consumption are facing the least disruption. The majority are reeling under cashlessness. Some of the most affected people are 1.        Vegetable vendors in local mark...
