WOOLLEN SOCKS

WOOLLEN SOCKS

Mom often said, “people are losing their warmth”. But she didn’t care. Her woollen socks were always there to provide her the much needed warmth. Every year mom would send her 2 new pairs in latest designs.

The unexpected demises during pandemic caught her unawares. That year she felt the chill. She neither had any new...

CRACKED HEELS

CRACKED HEELS

When emotions run dry,
And there is lack of care,
Cracks may appear any where.
Her cracked heels too had a story,
They ran so deep,
That, they pained and bled,
And cried for desperate help.
A little nurture sometimes, let them breathe some life,
While, further neglect braced them for fight.
But she got...

GOOD-BYE

GOOD-BYE

It was her last journey from home to the crematorium.He wasn’t there when she breathed her last.
As she was being put in a hearse van, he looked up at the balcony, where, she would always stand, wave and see him off.Surprisingly, she was there waving at him.

Till We Meet Again…

Till We Meet Again…

He looked into her kohl rimmed eyes.Calm and serene but big and beautiful.

“How long do I have to wait till we meet again?”. He asked.

She kept smiling as if to say, “When the wait is indefinite, it doesn’t matter how many days, months or years it may be. What matters is, how passionately...

THE EYES HAVE IT

THE EYES HAVE IT

“Your hate for me is so evident”. She said.
“How do you know? I do everything for you”. He said.
“Yes you do, but your eyes have it”. She said.
“Why don’t you then stop being a burden on me and just get lost somewhere?” He spewed hatred.
“I will.The day my love for you...

THE PLAYLIST

THE PLAYLIST

The phone had an impressive line of songs on its playlist.These were carefully selected and segregated according to the mood of the listener.Favourites, walking, melancholy, happy, peppy etc.However, there was a particular set which was never played.It held random selection of songs which did not let anyone judge the listener or his frame of mind.

Hmmm…

Hmmm…

Why would anyone reply in ‘hmmm’ instead of a simple yes or no?
Is it a state of confusion?
A sign of frustration?
Or hesitation?
May be in agreement..
Or a slight pause before disagreement,
An indication of disinterest?
To express suspicion,
Or demanding clarification?
May be a silent desperate fight to control one’s emotions,

ONE THOUGHT

ONE THOUGHT

In a room full of educated, liberal minded people, a stimulating exchange of thoughts and ideas was taking place.They unanimously agreed on most socio-political matters.They cheered for the existence of One nation, applauded for One religion and hailed One language.
And then, when someone suggested One caste, it was greeted with stoic silence.

AIR ‘O’ PLANE

AIR ‘O’ PLANE

For her 75th birthday, grandma asked me to get her a toy ‘air ‘o’ plane’. I had noticed her fascination for aeroplanes since a newly constructed airport became operational in our town.Her eyes twinkled every time a plane landed.
A few days later, she died  in her sleep holding her aeroplane.
While cleaning her old...

DOORMAT

DOORMAT

An expensive and beautiful floor runner was bought for the house.It was so soft, and durable, that everyone wished to step on it. Slowly it got dirty and discoloured due to rough usage and started to resemble a mere door mat.

When it was put for wash, voila! it looked like the runner had...
