Until I Met You

I was just a little girl 
Going around the world 
In two ponytails and pink shoes 
No worries, no woes 
Until I met you,

I was just a little girl
Going around the world 
Singing my own songs 
And dancing to my own tunes 
Until I met you,

I was just a little girl 
Going around the world
Sand in my feet, wind in my hair 
And not a single care
Until I met you,

I was just a little girl
Going around the world 
Crossing rivers and climbing mountains 
Unaware of the hurt that pains 
Until I met you, 

I was just a little girl
Going around the world 
Plucking flowers from the garden of life 
Eating the fruit that wasn't really ripe 
Until I met you,




I was just a little girl
Going around the world 
Trying to understand it 
Playing games that didn't involve the heart 
Until I met you,

I was just a little girl 
Going around the world 
With imaginary friends who are now gone
Collecting roses sans the thorns 
Until I met you,

I was just a little girl 
Going around the world 
Looking for love and thunder 
See my eyes sparkle with wonder 
Until I met you,

I was just a little girl 
Going around the world 
When I finally met you 
Understood things that adults talk about
Heartbreak could hurt 
And love could heal 
Among other things one couldn't feel,

I was no more just a little girl 
Going around the world 
That bled crimson and dry
But If you ask me why I cry
It's because I had met you.

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...

Better Single than Sorry

Walking down the aisles at Archie's gallery, gazing at various love objects such as Teddy Bears, Cupid idols, Love birds, Together forever frames, and other love-related shit; I finally ended up picking a Happy Anniversary greeting card for my parents. If this is not the torment of Valentine's day, then I don't know what is. No, the torment isn't buying an Anniversary card, it's the struggle to find general greetings amidst this store full of red hearts and love quotes that describes a world where love is measured by objects and not emotions.  If you choose 14th February to confess your feelings, that's not falling love, it's fooling in love. With due respect to Saint Valentine and Cupid, this day has become overhyped, overrated and over celebrated. How can you decide to pamper your loved one only on one day of the year and bestow all the love (pocket money) upon them?  Expensive gifts and flowers only provide the sellers with one week of good business and t...

We Think We Have Time

An eerie quietness fills the room   Something doesn't seem right today He is waiting for me in bed I slip into the blanket that covers his body I tell him that he needs to be well He doesn't listen to me I am yearning to hear him speak He doesn't talk much I am waiting for his words of wisdom He hardly even says anything I remind him of his strength  His body is weak  I feed him naan khatai and imarti each day He is thinning by the day I bring him his favourite food He doesn't eat two square meals in a day I cook him his favourite mutton biryani He can't eat two square meals in a day I bring him filter coffee from the nukkad of the street He can hardly even drink water  I ask him if he'd like to dance with me He can't stand on his two feet  I try to put him to sleep His eyes are tired of being shut  I stay quiet for a few minutes  He reaches for my hand I can't stop the tears from running do...
