Madness


They say I am hopeless. Hopelessly crazy over you. Hopelessly in love. Well, I wouldn't brush it off as a lie. I am crazy over you, I do think of you a lot. Most of the times in fact. But do I love you? I do not know. Is this love? I don't know that either. But I love what happens to me when my mind is full of you. I know we have neither spoken to each other nor seen each other, Or maybe, we might have, only He, who plays these games with us can know for sure. 
That one glimpse I saw years ago, when I pestered Him with infinite questions and threatened Him with streams of tears, is enough for me to know. That you are and that you will be. That glimpse alone is enough for me to wait my entire lifetime, till the day you are ready for me. Till then and till forever, this heart beats only for you. I just pray you realize that soon enough while I still am.

It is not by my free will that I lead a life like this, hiding from the society, never going home, always afraid of being ridiculed or mocked at. It is not my parents’ fault that they live in a coastal village along the western ghats of India where they are still not free to decide what is right and what is wrong for them. Similarly, it is not my fault that I’m like this; this is not a choice I have made.

A Fistful of Rose Petals

“Maaaaaaaa! Gueshh what I got” my little birdie chirped in her ever pleasing sing song voice. “Hmm.. what is it baby?” “Gueshh naaaa…” the birdie’s voice is gaining frequency the minute. She is every bit her father’s daughter – loving, raucous and edgy. Looking up at her from the book I am reading, see that her tiny little hand is all balled up into a tight fist and is outstretched towards me. “Is it a button?” She loves picking up these things from wherever she can. “No” “Hmm.. is it a marble?” “No…” “Then is it..’” “Never mind maa, I will show you” and she opens up her fist with a broad smile to show these precious petals from a rose flower, blood red in colour. I am at a loss at what to tell her. Do I tell her that a plant is a living being, and that she is not supposed to hurt another living thing? But how could - I - who kills cockroaches and mosquitoes, eats non vegetarian food – tell my daughter that it is wrong hurt another living be...
