Waiting in vain

So, this piece came about when I was literally tired of waiting and all in vain. Hence, the title. A personal sort of writing that I cannot stop loving despite the fact it left my eyes watery for long. I love the fact how effortless this piece is without compromising with the essence of it. 
Just when I thought I had lost the strength to do all-nighters, 
I was introduced to the concept of time zone. 

Just when I thought I was being taken for granted, 
I let them take me some more.

Just when I thought I was made to look desperate, 
I ceased all effort to interact.

Just when I thought I was losing my importance, 
I tried to maintain my self esteem.

Just when I thought my ego had outgrown me,
I let it grow a little more.

Just when I thought they didn't care any more,
I became careless.

Just when I thought I had been too nice, 
I decided not to be any more. 

Just when I thought I stopped to matter, 
It stopped to matter to me.

Just when I thought I needed a friend, 
None appeared for me.

Just when I thought I needed a shoulder, 
I realised I was a weight.

Just when I thought I needed the arms, 
I realised they weren't meant for me.

Just when I thought I started to see,
The truth blinded me again.

Just when I thought I was getting better,
They got the better of me.

Just when I thought I lost someone,
I realised someone was me.

Just when I thought it was goodbye,
A message popped saying Hi.

Just when I thought it was all in vain,
For the first time I'd been proven right.

Just when I thought I was tired of waiting,
I waited some more. 

Just when I thought it was over 
It really was.

  1. The one you must knowMay 12, 2015 at 10:16 AM

    “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.----Rocky Balboa

    Said in the reel life of the actor but highly effective in real life of actors like us..

7 Things Girls Need to get Right

Disclaimer- This piece is a personal opinion and should not be taken as a remark on anyone. The readers are requested to not be offended since I mean no offence at all. And if you end up being offended, the writer is not to be blamed. Thank you!  I have seen a lot of girls previously but thanks to my college, I now see hundreds of them each day. And analyse them. After so much analysis and observation, I finally discovered some things that ladies and girls need to improve upon and get right. Read on.  1. Wax the underarms  So this is a big big turn off for most people. Girls, you may wear sleeveless tops and dresses but know that we don't like to see the bushy region in your armpits that you least proudly show off. Ensure that you are perfectly waxed or have negligible growth the next time you decide to wear something with no sleeves. There's enough hair on your head, we don't need any more to admire.  2. Plastic straps   If the government was cons...

What's in a Date?

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...

Vicious Circle of Expectations

No matter how well aware we are of the fact that expectations lead to disappointments, we never stop expecting. We may try to convince ourselves but subconsciously we all expect something or the other.  Every morning, we wake up expecting mom to cook us breakfast, lunch and dinner. We expect dad to work for us and earn us a living. And then the endless expectations from our siblings. Parents expect us to perform well career wise, expect love and respect which we most happily give, yet disappointments are inevitable because so are expectations.  And did I forget to mention the countless expectations we have from our friends and peers? Well, it's needless to say that we expect our friends to treat us the same way we treat them. But that's like expecting a lion not to attack you because you're sweet to it.  In this era of Whatsapp and Facebook, we usually expect the other person to drop a message, to call, to send a text, to strike a conversation and more...
