I wait...

A warm cup of coffee
In the warm, bright sunshine
A friendly wave, a genuine smile
For the moment it all seems fine
But the world's a fragile place
And we don't seem to understand
That what may be ours today
Tomorrow might be out of our hands
In the ebb and flow of life
We must know what to hold on strong
For times are tough, and people walk fast
And life, sometimes, seems very, very long
So when I sit in that warm sunshine
And I wait for that genuine smile
The one that's followed me so long
The one I've been missing for a while
I wish that life wasn't so real
That for once, I'd know how to make amends
And hope, someday, to run back in time
And find myself with you, my friends...

… and she said, “I’m all yours.”

The school bell rang, and finally the moment she had been waiting for had arrived. She was free from school, and she couldn't wait to be back home. To be with the one she had been thinking of, for so long. “Have a nice weekend!” “You too!” “I’ll drop by at your place around five, ok?” “Sure thing. It’s gonna be so much fun, you guys spending the night over.” “We’ll stay up all night long!” The conversations amongst her classmates surrounded her, yet she seemed far away from it all. She was lost the her own thoughts, lost in the memories of the long hours she had spent in the company of her one true love. She got on the bus, and sat at her favorite window seat. She wished with all her will that the bus would start moving soon. Her impatience paid off in the end; the bus jerked to life, and slowly trundled off in the direction of her house. She felt excited at the thought of someone waiting for her. Her thoughts wandered back into the memories of the countless kisses t

A Brand New Family

A little over a year into her marriage, and Rupal had exceeded all her expectations towards herself – she had actually become a wonderful cook. The Pulao and the Shahi Paneer were giving out the most mouth watering aroma, and she should have been proud of herself. Only, she wasn’t. It’s not easy to be proud of yourself, when you’re all alone at home, waiting for a husband who’s late. It was the third successive night that she’d been waiting for Himanshu to turn up, but he said he was held up at work for yet another day. She knew it was for the best, and yet she didn’t like it one bit. The fact that all her efforts at making the exquisite dinner were slowly turning cold was something she didn’t want to come to terms with so easily. She heard the key turning in the lock. A moment later, Himanshu’s voice boomed in from the corridor, “Honey, I’m home!” “You’re late again! Why do they have to make you work so hard?” she asked him the moment he came within her line of sight. Her a

The Friend Circle

"If only I had a gun," thought Ali. "Maybe, if I could blast a bullet in my head, it'd help to stop the pounding." He laughed at the absurdity of the thought almost immediately though, as real life took a grip on him again. He had never thought that he could fight with Raman the way he did. He never thought that he was capable of saying the things that he did, to Raman; his best friend since childhood. He wanted to say a lot of things to him; that he hadn't really meant any of the things he had said to Raman when they fought. That he still was his best friend, in spite of everything. Most importantly, he wanted Raman to know that he did not want him to "die and go to hell" as he had told him to. Ali had tried calling Raman quite a few times, but he had had no luck. He was very hopeful thus, when finally the phone rang. He picked up the phone hastily, only to see that it wasn't Raman, but Kalpana who was calling him. "Kay. I thought it was
