Nostalgia Dropped by Today

Nostalgia dropped by today,

A sudden knock on my door at midnight

I wasn't dressed

I wasn't prepared

I was startled

I was even afraid to an extent

Who might it be at this hour, I wondered

I mustered all the courage I could

Stepped out of my bed,

Stepped out of my comfort zone,
As I walked towards the door,

Seconds felt like hours

Reached for the doorknob and looked through the peephole

My stomach churned and knees wobbled

I recognized the face almost instantly

The familiarity was uncanny

I took a deep breath and pulled the door open

Strong winds gushed in and hit my face

Memories gushed in and hit me in the gut

At a pace faster than in Formula One

I felt the ground shift under my feet

I felt almost powerless

Another gush of wind and memories

He steps inside and approaches me, uninvited

Draws me closer and wraps me in his embrace

His body pressed against mine as he plants a kiss on my cheek

My heart raced and then sank

I shut my eyes and took it all in

Nostalgia dropped by today and said hello

And I welcomed him,

Nostalgia dropped by today,

And I embraced him with open arms.

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...

Hope isn't just a word, unless it is shattered.

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 it bring you joy? They say hope fulfils desires, they say hope can win against hope. 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.

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...
