What gives you the right, to live in such pride?

What gives you the right,
to live with such pride?

What gives you the right to disregard a persons face,
while your own eyes fail to see the soul's grace?

How can you be creeped by a persons touch,
when your own heart is filled with wrath?

Why do you cry for no sweet words,
when your own ears are blocked with devils melody?

Even as you fight with your own insecurity,
it doesn't give you a right to kill humanity.

How can you beg for love in life,
if you stand at the door with a knife.

What gives you the right,
to live with such pride?

Karva Chauth Blues!

It is Karva Chauth tomorrow and I see people all around shopping, applying hennas on hands and visiting beauty saloons and then it strikes me that I will never happen to be celebrating this beautiful tradition! Sigh! All my dreams since childhood gets shattered! I hate my boyfriend at such times! (obviously who is not a Punjabi!) Didn't half of the girls in their teens want to get married to a Punjabi? Well I did for their grand weddings and the churas! Love them!  Oh ya for all those who don't know, The Karva Chauth is an old tradition followed mostly in northern parts of India. The married women fast the whole day without food and water until they see the moon and pray for their husbands long life. Sweet thing no? But I see this fasting becoming a fad now. See around and you'll find all girlfriends fasting for their boyfriends/ crushes. And thanks to our very own YRF and the idiot box we have our husbands under pressure to fast for their wives just like SRK did!

A letter to my first boyfriend....

Image
It was nice to meet up with you yesterday, 'Nice' is the kind of word used when you don't really know whether it was nice or not. And that's a bit how its left me feeling.. It was interesting to find out how your life is about now and to catch up with old friends from the past and to hear about your relatives who were so much part of my teenage life. But i felt strangely uneasy in your company. I felt as though you were trying to tell me that there was still something between us, that the relation we had once was still there just waiting to be unfolded again. I do not feel like that. Although you were my first boyfriend and although at that time i thought we were together forever. I can now only see that relationship as the beginning of a long path. This is not that i m trying to say that i did not value our relationship, just to say that it has its place in the history and that is were i want to leave it... You were boastful when you told me about all the girls u da
