A Stubborn Show

She closes her eyes and feels the walls are closing in. She opens her eyes and they are where they stand. She closes her eyes and sees the hand swinging towards her. She opens her eyes and sees the hands patting her back. She closes her eyes and feels a warm embrace. She opens her eyes and shudders at the cold stares. She closes her eyes and the nightmares start. She opens her eyes and realizes they are just dreams. She closes her eyes to go to her magical world. She opens her eyes and realizes it's all make believe. She closes her eyes and stares in the mirror as it starts to shatter. She opens her eyes and stares in the mirror and only sees her reflection. She closes her eyes and she's an extrovert. She opens her eyes and she's an introvert. She closes her eyes and she's blooming with life. She opens her eyes and she withering away. She closes her eyes and sees nothing. She opens her eyes and sees everything. She closes her eyes and dreams. She opens her eyes and live...

When you have to go to the supermarket to buy something  because it's much cheaper than the shops near you. At that point of time you start to weigh the pros and cons. Pros: You end up saving money as it is much cheaper . Cons : You end up buying unwanted stuff, surplus stuff. Let me elaborate. I had to get milk powder. Now if I go to the supermarket for getting the milk powder there is the possibility of purchasing  the following along with very valid reasons. 1. Coffee, even though I have 3 varieties at home. 2. Coffee mug, because it looks so good. 3. Biscuits, What if I get hungry while having coffee. 4. Sugar, becaus I don't remember how much is left at home. 5. Washing Powder, because this one smells so good. 6. Shampoo, because it got over and I just remembered. 7.Pillow , cause the one at home has lost its cloudiness. And so on and on. And then amidst all this thought process someone comes and asks you. ' I'm going to the Supermarket, you want a...

Photograph - Ed Sheeran "Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes But it's the only thing that I know When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes It is the only thing that makes us feel alive" This song always manages to make me use the repeat function of my music player. Love is something that should come easy, what if it hurts when it comes. You still go through with it because it's something that you can't say no to. Try as much as you want to .   You can't . "So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone" Memories have a strange way of slithering into your conscious mind. And this song so beautifully exemplifies that. Just lighten your senses and go back to that one memory you have and everything will be fine again . "And if you hurt me That's okay baby, only words bleed Inside these pages you just hold me And I won't ever let ...

When you were muddled about what you ought to do, And you waited for divine intervention. When you knew there is much to be done, And little time at hand. When you know you can make a change, And it’s all that is needed. When you know what you want, And it’s all that you'll ever need. Yet. When you have sold yourself, And you know that it’s the best price you could get. When it’s all said and done, And you have sold your passion. Don’t go searching for it, It is long gone lost in the Pursuit of Happiness .

It was a dull morning, the sun was just waking up from its slumber. I found myself in a 7/11 outlet having coffee with a friend when a kid walked up to us and asked us for money. He looked really healthy so we thought he didn't need it. Then he sat down on a bench near us. We continued with our conversation. When it was time to leave I glanced in his direction and he was fast asleep. Then my friend said lets give him something to eat. So we got him a chocolate bar and bread. My friend suggested we wake him up and give it to him lest someone else picks it up. But I couldn't bring myself to rob a little fluffy boy of his time from lala land. So I kept it near his hand trying to fit it in his stubby little fingers and left from there. Later In the evening I was at a Cafe when another boy came and asked me to buy some flowers he was selling. I apologized with a smile and told him I did not need it. He returned the gesture with a smile so wide that I could see the cavities i...

Roy had just kissed his mom one on each cheek and one on lips and waved to his mother, a goodbye that had become sort of an everyday ritual as he left for school. As he hurried off for school he was thinking about the new game he had played and how Ram his friend would react on knowing that he had reached level 23, when suddenly he heard  a deafening noise ' HOnkkk'. He was in the middle of the road and had mindlessly walked into the path of a Jeep. Making the most apologetic face he could he crossed the road quickly. The jeep stopped a distance ahead. As he walked on, from the shapes he could figure it was a mom driving her son to school. As he took few steps ahead he realized it was his classmate Jasper. He waved hi, jasper gave a half hearted wave back, one which Roy believed he had too with his mom in the car. Then Jasper's mom asked Jasper something. And jasper shook his head and just looked road ahead. And his mom hit the gas and the jeep went on. Roy, a boy not...
