Poem: "The Virus"

-
I woke up to the rising sun,
I went up to the window,
I didn't see the laughing club,
Neither any yoga mats.
It was silent and unusual.
I saw the sunrise,
I heard the birds chirp.
Switched on the TV,
They said some illness prevails out,
Asked us to stay at home.
I heard the news all day,
Only to realize how evident the results are,
When we disturb the mother nature.
Spent the day reading about what humans have done,
From hunting and poaching for their pleasure.
To hang the heads of the wild as the medal of their pride.
About the slaughterhouses and butcher place,
They take lives away for what they serve in plates.
It didn't just end here,
It went on and on.
These selfish humans didn't even leave bats to their peace.
It wasn't the first pandemic that spread,
It looks like they didn't learn from the books they wrote.
The humans went on to butcher the nature,
For now, it was time to teach us a lesson.
Locked in homes, we wish to roam out,
Remember when you trapped the bird for just fun?
Remember when you took the nature for granted?
Remember when you didn't care enough?
Just sit at home for life-sake.
It isn't a time to party.
Nature would settle anyway,
By hook or crook.
Save your life and of the ones you love.
Stay healthy in quarantine.
Stay happy at your home.
Pray for the victims against the illness.
Pray for the warriors fighting for us.

Chapter-7 The Phone Calls

-
It was back then when she just entered class 11th and he was enjoying his pre 12th vacation. She was stressed, taking up science was not, that good choice but she liked challenges!! (P.S. He warned her for not taking up science) He was in Manali on his school trip, but never happen to miss a single opportunity to text her. She was tired of her new schedule and happen to just fall on her bed out of mental and physical stress. She picked up her phone and texted him "Call me when you are free!!" Within minutes her phone rang and it was him. She uttered all her stress and whatever happened the whole day to him. He, being a good listener heard it all. She felt better and hearing his voice made her feel the best. Feeling at the top of the sky, she just wanted to talk about everything happening on both sides of the phone and that's what they did. They talked on until his friends made out to whom he was talking and started to tease him. His friends clicked random pictu...

La vie

Hello Pretty People!! La vie is the French word for "Life" I happen to visit a cancer hospital today and to be honest, I happen to forget all my misery after seeing that of the patients. I was sitting in the waiting area when a young girl about 9-year-old passed by me sitting in a wheelchair and the nurse pushing the wheelchair. Her wheelchair stopped at the reception and the nurse got busy with some documents. We both looked at each other pretending we didn't. I don't know what she thought but I was completely lost in my own thoughts about how life could be so unfair, about how she might be feeling, about how short life could and about the fact that life is so unpredictable. I was feeling broken inside for no reason for a past few days and today when I faced the reality of life, I feel no reason to cry upon my life however tangled it be. Every problem in one's life seems a giant until u realize what worse is happening with others. Be happy because u ...

Change : All what you need to know.

-
One thing that life taught me was "Nothing is Absolute" and "Change is necessary". Then why do people poke me and ask why have I changed over time? Wasn't change mandatory or they missed that lesson of life?? People come and go, and of course, the ones who stay, change over time. And eventually you feel that it isn't right or the person shouldn't have changed, then let me clarify it for you that CHANGE IS NECESSARY OVER TIME. So what became your issue with me!? Did I get rude with you? Then you deserved it somewhere. Did I ignore you? Then I don't feel comfortable with you. Did I stop talking to you? Then I don't feel necessary talking to you. Did I block you? Then I don't feel you should be an audience to my content. Well, I know the issues are limitless and with each perspective, it would add more to the list. ***** And coming to the point that what life would be like without any sort of change or evolution!? Then my...
