The War

He was all sweaty, sweat dripping from his forehead as if a tap was left open. His eyes were going red, he was breathing heavy.He folded his sleeves up. He was talking to himself. He was reciting his plan.his eyes were grounded.
He knew he had all the wishes backing him up. He looked up, there were another few rushing up towards him, eyes in eyes with a formidable glare.
He too returned the pleasantries. He shouldered them, shrugged them. Rushed through them. He felt as if he was scratched at his arms.
He prayed, he thought about all the good time he had spent.

And finally the struggle he went through reaped him fruits.

He got what he was fighting for.

The ultimate prize. A seat in the DELHI METRO.Now he could breathe in the cool air flowing through the AC Vents.

As he sat ,there were envious eyes looking at him cursing him for the good luck he had got. And he was all smiles for the luck he was going through.

P.S : This post is dedicated to all the Daily commuters of Delhi Metro.

P.S : The post has been exaggerated to much extent but it has complete resemblance to the journeys i had in the Metro.

The Beautiful Mystery...

Her teeth were shining just like some beautiful white stones..The most enigmatic smiles i had ever seen. From where she was standing i could see that she had a dimple on her right cheek. Ad mist her talks she did took a notice of me, a smile in reply was there.her eyes were really talking, apart from the smile she had the most expressive eyes i had ever seen. She kept on talking , smiling , chirping just like a tiny bird. Everything appeared to be so beautiful and calm because of her. I tried to see if she had dimple on her left cheek too. From where i was standing it appeared she hadn't. The distance between of mere 6 stations appeared to be Quite long. At last she moved to get down , stood next to the door, And as she was about to get down she turned and just smiled back and i could only stay numb and the only thing i could remember was "She had a dimple on her left cheek too."

Ideologies !!!

Whom should i vote for? This is the biggest chaos my mind has been dealing for months, since the inception of the nationwide elections. And one of the worst nightmares these elections have brought is that my Facebook time line is flocked with promotional videos , pictures of various political parties. Now i hardly see any pictures of my friends getting married, no posts telling the  place where they are dining and with whom, which movie they are in, no posts telling they are feeling happy, Sad , irritated. If i look into one perspective of this,it really speaks that the country is getting a bit more involved into things of real concern i.e. the national politics. But the other perspective really makes me sick, the way few of my friends are endorsing the political leaders of their choice. Some of them simply seem rude and offensive. Even i have seen comments where a person feels that the different choices of political parties might also lead to ruin their friendship. I don't feel t

Am i there?

It is 8:20 PM IST on a friday , my phone just got discharged completely and i don't have any zoom meetings till the next 40 minutes. So my anxiety made me think how to spend these 40 minutes, the only resort i found was my laptop and i turned into my blogger account, and i just realized i haven't posted anything since 5 years , yes 5 long Years.  My last post was published on July 16,2015. Out of nostalgia i read few of my posts which i didn't even recalled writing. Well there were some lines which i realized were not that bad but surely there were some cliches too. Started typing out of curiosity to check if i still have that which takes to write. Definitely the words are not coming that easily (an honest realization).  So i will try and recall what all things have changed for me between my last post on July 2015 and today. Here comes the darn list The sweetest change, I am a father now. I have a 3 and a half year old daughter (Read : Chatter box). Learning a lot of new th
