The ordeal of the Prayer Man

A holy place, a place within
transposes thoughts to a halo
so sacred, so wanted, so blurred
saying a prayer to t he greatest heart
but beware, as he does not listen to you
the Prayer Man is the one to help you
tell him what you want & what you dont
you wish, your dream, fears & foes
the one who has mastered this art
will pass on your prayer to the Creator's heart

so then, starts the process of passing messages
one accepted one resigned
the mysterious glow from the holy spot
blinds all, the believers & the believe-me-nots
the Prayer Man, finally, pleased with his work
thanks the Almighty for the blessings pot
and decides to pray one day for himself
when the light disappeared
the sound deafened
the body cold
and the breath lost

One Morning - Stand

There was some truth in what happened the other day. Yes. When i left home, i was in a 'super' hurry. 'Super'? My 7 year old cousin was now crying. I slept at 2 last night. That din't seem to care her. For her, its like when she is put to bed, the world is put to bed at the same time it seems. She was standing right in front of my eyes. At a distance of probably, 2 inches from my face. From that 'distance', she screams, "DeeDee!! " , crying, "deeeee", sobbing, *snifff*, wiping her 2 mm of 'pure' tears (kids, i promise, got crocodile tears! I don't really know how that phrase came into being though. I would rather call them Kiddie tears. Drops of water that roll down your eyes not more than 2mm, eyes may be red, but beware, they ARE QUITE deceptive.) "Its 7 in the morning, why the hell are you crying? " i said all of that in my sleep? Damn she was, crying! "Dee i need you to drop me to the school bus stop, else i...

Gimme gimme.. mooooore! THIS DAY AND THAT THINGS!

Walking on a street in Nerul (Navi Mumbai), at 11.30 in the night, you are singing ‘Maujja hi Maujjaa’, dancing ‘wierdly’ to the tunes of ‘Nasik dhol’ hums, smiling your way to glory, its just a hangover of the historic match in ‘D.Y. Patil stadium’ – the bbbigest stadium in Mumbai, witnessing its first match ever! ‘Mumbai Indians match tickets! Please get me a ticket I beg you!’ Here starts my journey to get to my FIRST MATCH in a stadium, ever! The‘oh! My god! I am so egg-xited’ syndrome never seemed to end. Arrangements to the stadium and back were all done, don’t ask how! Well, after all not everyone gets the opportunity to such a historic match, you see. Ok, try and get the picture. You are 12-15 youngsters, in 3 different cars, getting to a stadium, 4 hours in advance. In the car, with absolutely no idea of the scorching heat outside, the smoke of the trucks and other vehicles, the traffic, its just The Match in our heads at the moment. You reach the parking place next to the sta...
