i miss u

-



I stand on the footpath
and i see the world go by
there is a profound guilt
that would often make me cry

If only I could get one chance
to correct my mistake
but, Oh, life is not a film
where I could give a retake

I wish I was there by her side
when she needed me
I wish i could take care of her
that would have set me free

Everybody has to go someday
but now i feel so lost.
Now I have no one to guide me
Oh Maa i miss you the most.

    Simply lovely. We all forget our Maa in this busy schedule & hectic lifestyle. Thank God I am spending quality time with her right now. :) In 2 years I would be mairied off & this thinking really makes her cry sometimes. :) Sorry, for sharing this but just out of remorse I was bound to say this. Beautiful poetry! :) Really got me thinking :) Take care friend

    Simply loved the poem,Hmm boys are lucky they will be with her even after marriage so no regret ,if we can go to job from home itself and be them whenever needed. You have expressed your emotion so nicely in few words.Nice poem.

    We miss people the most when they're gone forever from our lives, and hope that we had taken the chance to not miss them when we had it. Emotional poem, Renu. Well written.

    I can understand the pain. We don't realise that we are often away and not there when they need us. Even if they don't require us for their needs, we can just be there as they still love us.

    1. It's a poem on a blog primarily meant for short stories. I find it a refreshing change, it's more sublime than your stories.
    2. The author has a penchant for replying to comments in emoticons.

    keep writing in this vein.

your kisses, your touch

Everyday when I look into your eyes I always feel I can't love you more Every morning when I feel your warm hug I know you are the man I would die for And when my skin burns with your touch I realize its your soft touch that allures Every kiss of yours is a promise Words that come out of your mouth are hard to ignore Every single minute without you is torture remember "you'll be always around" you swore Would give anything to be in your arms Would present you with all the kisses I have in store.

My Platinum Day of Love

Aren't arranged marriages just beautiful? Your parents happily propose a boy on your behalf and all you have to do is to look pretty and pretend that all that is laid on the table was made by you. Vikas and I had an arranged marriage. The first month of our marriage was all about holiday (I hate the word honeymoon) awkward moments, talking softly and putting our best foot forward. Soon after the holidays we shifted in our new house. My life seemed to have started fresh altogether. Not only marriage and my husband were new to me but also the city and its people (I am from Kolkata and Vikas worked in Mumbai). People in Mumbai are very detached; most of them had no idea about the residents of their building. Kolkata was very different, we even knew our neighbors' relatives. Mumbai was fast Kolkata's slow pace had its own charm. I really missed being in Kolkata especially road side food ghugni & puchke (Gol Gappe). Vikas would always take me to those fine dining r...

Who needs prince charming??? ;)

Every girl wants a Prince Charming.... but at times I wonder......Will a Prince Charming go out in the rain with me, with no umbrella??? Will he wake up in the morning with tussled hair...disheveled look and still look extremely sexy and huggable?? Will he go out and buy vegetables and even bargain?? I guess not. When I imagine a Prince Charming, he’s a guy who would prefer broccoli and salads over paratha or pizza, who's impeccably dressed almost 24*7...properly combed and not a single hair out of place, even when he's about to hit the bed ..Starched white button-down shirt...shoes shining that could even bring mirrors to shame... something on d lines of Ken...our very own Barbie's boyfriend. When I meet such people all I want is to mess up their hair a little..force them into having french fries or burger make them look and feel a little more human. I read it somewhere a house should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be comfortable. I thin...
