You: (Sneeze)Oops! Sorry.  You: (Step on somebody's foot) I'm sorry.  You: (mourning over someone's demise) Oh Dear, I'm so sorry.  You: (someone broke up) Holy Shit, I'm sorry, bro.  You: (bump into somebody) Sorry.  These are well, just a few instances from our daily routine, when we utter the word sorry. Mind you, the word 'sorry'.  Things that happen accidentally or by mistake, where we have no intention of hurting the other person, we say sorry as a reflex. But what about the moments where we knowingly or unknowingly hurt the other person's sentiments, break each other's hearts, abuse our dear ones, disrespect our families. What about those? Do we say sorry or feel sorry as spontaneously? Even when we do say it, do we feel it?  It's a sad thing in today's world that it's easier to say sorry than feel sorry. It takes days and months, or even years for the realisation to set in, for the birth of guilt. At times, it takes a lifetime to

They say hope can lead to miracles, turn the impossible into possible but can it make the dead man alive? They say hope can be your umbrella in the downpour, they say hope can fix the leaks. But can it fix the leaks in your heart, the tears that kiss your cheeks?  They say hope can bring merry, they say hope can make you rich.

But can you hope against the despondence?  They say hope isn't just a word, really?  They say its more than a word.  Of course, it's a way of life.  Unless. Unless it is shattered. 

Okay so today we celebrate the last sequential date in this century, 11-12-13.  It's the last date with consecutive numbers to appear in the 21st century, but why the hype?  Did they forget that every damn date in this century will never repeat itself?  Or is this just another money-minting criteria adopted by hotels, hospitals, bars, wedding planners and pandit ji's to brainwash people's minds and inform them about the importance of this one date?  Why the craze to tie the knot on this so called 'auspicious' date? Why the craze to deliver babies on this day? Are you going to tell me that its a 'lucky' day and will make your marriage last a year more than mine? Or your baby will be born an actor or IITian? Or probably that the food at restaurants will be better today?  Hell, no. If love doesn't see person or time, why does it see dates? Ladies, If babies born on other dates can become Shahrukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar, why the fuss about paining your bo

Stay  Unusual it may seem  Lights turn out Cars slow down  Rivers run dry Clouds form clusters Heartbeat fades  Tears leave eyes Trust breaks apart Souls divide Hands shiver cold Body stands frozen  Knees kiss ground Memories relived His touch fades Black out sets in  I ask him to stay  Stay forever But he leaves  He left.  Left.
