Waiting For Snow

Tonight it was going to snow
I force myself to stay awake until it does
I sit by the window and stare outside 
Looking closely in order not to miss the snow fall 
So far no snow
Only rain, only more rain
And disappointment 
It’s 3 am 
I go back to bed
Only to jump out instantly and look out the window again 
No snow still 
I go back to my bed disappointed yet again 
I do this until I become too tired to do it again 
I lie on my back 
Slowly drifting into slumber 
With the hope, that morning will be white and magical
When I wake up 
The first thing I do is go to the window to see what I waited for all night, 
To see what I missed all night.











Alas, no snow. 
T'was a false alarm 
The kind my heart gave me when I thought it was love,
But it was only nothing.  
Maybe I sat by the window all night to see the snow fall 
Maybe I was waiting for something that my heart wanted 
Like always, I ended up going to bed disappointed 
Not in the snow 
Not in the rain 
Not in the weather
But in myself, because I fell for the things my heart wants 
Yet again 
Time and again 
Oh heart, when will you learn..
The snow only falls when you least expect it to.

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...

Things We Do When We Hate Someone

We have all been mad at someone or the other for some reason or the other but does that put an end to our love for them? Do we stop feeling the same for them? The answer is relative to the reason for which you’re mad at them. IF it is something that can be fixed, then the answer is NO, but surely when the damage done is irreparable, let’s take YES as the answer. People change, feelings change. Nobody can guarantee same behaviour throughout the course of a relationship. This is one solid ground for relationships falling apart. They say, "The opposite of love isn't hate. It is indifference." I am a true believer of these words but then again, sometimes, the next level indifference is called hate, or so I like to think. It's like they cease to exist for me, hence their role in my life becomes zero.   If I were to define hatred, it would be "absence of love”. It is a long ride to go from being mad at someone to hate them but there’s no looking back when you de...

Bring back what once was mine

If love could bring you back, I'd love you eternally If smiles could bring you back, I'd laugh for you  If tears could bring you back, I'd cry a river If flowers could bring you back, I'd grow a garden  If a kiss could bring you back, I'd kiss your lips forever  If a hug could bring you back, I'd hold you the longest  If money could bring you back, I'd spend all on you  If she could bring you back, I'd beg her to  But only if my love could bring you back, I promise to love you eternally.
