The Epitome of Love

It’s so hard to know that there is someone who will never give up on you, who you can always depend upon and who will take whatever it takes to make your life abundant. In this inhumane world, there’s a soul so generous, so lovable that burns only to emit light to your life. She is an extraordinary friend, a counselor. Her love, wisdom and practical advises are indispensable. Reminisce the quarrels you had with her. Your incensed words had lamented her soul. She had cried in the corner of the room, hiding the pearls from her eyes, but she stayed reticent and didn't vindicate you. This woman is an epitome of affection and care. There were times that you left that concerned soul unheard. Her caring call wasn't paid heed. She packed her aspirations in an old box and has dedicated her life to see you reach the zenith. She celebrated your birthdays with great pomp and show, had planned for the evening a fortnight ago. All this for that one thank you she received at the end of the day. These words meant a lot to this feeble yet strong heart. The very thought of buying her favorite saree fascinated her, and then you demanded for a play station- she neglected the saree and bought you the play station with a wide grin on her pretty face. The sacrifices this lady might have made for you are inexplicable. Those oodles of mistakes have been forgiven and forgotten with an impeccable calm and poise. Her once tedious lectures, I realize today, were lessons that have helped me cross the Rubicon. She stood there battling her inner demons, but never let us know what might have disturbed this woman. She is your mother.
Take time to expiate for all the hassle that your mother has been through. Hug her, shed a few tears in her bosom, express the love, and thank her for the suffering, anguish, torment, grief and solicitude she has gone through to see her child reach the pinnacle. Her hair turned white satiating your hunger. Share her pains today, her unfulfilled desires, and I say even if you succeed to fulfill a single wish of hers, your life will be complete and all the debts paid off.

A Letter to a Lethal Timid

"I quietly but persistently punished myself, shredded off the skin until nothing was left except the scent of blood on my fingers. I worked very hard to not let the black spot grow into cancer and slosh me down. On countless occasions, your needling, needless remarks pricked my conscience, and my head bursted like a dropped watermelon. You, dear hater, would never know severely have I been sliced by your venomous words. My vigor drained by the end of the day only to hear the slow pulse of its job half done. Saddened, I would scratch my wounds too deep for the healing and then let them open. I remember the nights when my insecurities hemmed in and my sense of fear filled my mouth with hot, dry air and made my body light. I used to watch you with eyes of hate before I realized that you are nothing but a pile of uncemented bricks that would never take a form, and I pitied you. I could clearly hear your enviousness and malice thudding loudly like a horse’s hoof...

Dispatch to a Friend

So this friend came to me the other day and accused me of being a paradox. He complained that your scripts talk about being vigorous and iron-willed while you, on the other hand, seem to be feeble and obscure; that you are a contradiction, full of falsehood and you drop lines on the piece of paper that you’re literally not. I let him had it at that while, because I believe I am good at pushing a pencil and am not blessed with the gift of gab. My dear friend, to you I write, I am a meek valiant. I sob at the sofa in the middle of the day, panting and yearning for something far-fetched. I am a miscalculation of theories and sentiments. While I scribble dauntless and lionhearted beliefs, I might be the most timid and reticent human being you have ever met. I am the one who fragmentizes inward and sheds bitter tears in a dark corner, rather than howling back. This ideal, prototypical girl in the back of my mind that I write about and that, in the heart of hearts, I aspire to ...

Hat Tip- #3

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”  ―   Nicholas Sparks ,  The Notebook #photography
