An Ode to a MAN

-

Starting with “I do not know what”, I really do not know what to write, how to express what is going through my mind. Its like I am feeling so numb, so not-exactly lifeless but still I know that there is some part of mine that is missing.
This piece is an ode to the amazing person, a true human being who I really know; I am blessed to have known. The person, I wasn’t really close to Him and its not that I have known Him for all my life; I have known him for just about 5-6 years but this was enough for me to revere Him for forever or being just Him.
The Man, no more now but He left just the way He had always lived; calm, happy, oblivious to the world and all by Him. This Man; He stood for everyone, did beyond the boundaries for all and never expected anything in return.
A life not really short but neither too long, He was the man cherished by all. For happiness was what His aura spelled. He was truly one of a kind.
Honestly, I do not share many fond memories with Him but His life, in all that I’ve known Him, was the apostle of love, care and warmth. He faced more than His share of challenges and miseries but the best part; He never really gave a damn to things.
Unflinched, unhindered He kept working His way through. He passed unscathed but when He couldn’t ; He never gave a damn again.
He had a woman in His life whom He dearly loved but she left Him. He was heartbroken but never let it become evident. He never once complained about what people said of Him. His own relatives slandered Him for being dishonest (something He wasn’t but they were) but again it didn’t bother Him a bit.
The woman He called His mother, even she didn’t return His love enough but even than He loved her with all the respect and warmth.
This man never asked for help, He always was satisfied with whatever little He had. And like He had always lived, died at just the time when He could have bothered others.
He was the perfect man, He was rock solid, the perfect example of any  strong man the literature boasts of.
He was the man who really searched and found happiness in every moment, rather I should say that He never searched, it was the way He lived.
The enigma behind his not so perfect life that He so perfectly lived will never be known.
I have seen people and I have seen Him, He was really a MAN

The Complaint Syndrome

-
A writer's block can be one of the most frustrating things for someone who keeps writing. I have been experiencing one for some days now. Have already tried to draft more than 10 blogs but have ended up in deleting them midway. Oh, am actually complaining now! Well, whats so special about it because this is what we all generally do. Complain ! We are perfectionist at that. You give us a situation and we will find a fault with it. You will not be able to even delve into the depths from where we will emerge with a sense of achievement, oh yes we just found it! But don't you worry, you are like us only; you will find faults too. You don't really have to look around to complain, they are as easy and obvious as some that I have listed below: 1) Why couldn't I get up early, darn this "alarm" : C'mon, whats wrong with the alarm  here 2) God! why is this watch running so fast : Seriously ? 3) People like him/her spoil it all by being punctual always :

Confessions of a NOT-HOT Girl!

-

We usually keep reading about boys being friend-zoned and how girls play with their feeling- intentionally or unintentionally. Then there are jokes about bad guys getting all the good girls and good guys remaining forever alone. Then the long sentimental messages about how a beautiful girl rejected someone's proposal and how the guy kept portraying her beauty all throughout his life. Another in the series are the images where true love shows two perfect looking models hugging and coochee-cooing with each other. Then there comes the so on and the so forth! In all these, we usually forget to mention the girl who is simple, not really hot (say not hot at all), maybe not very beautiful  (maybe she is but not all made up) too, who is always by your side and hence forms a part of your gang. She, is a bit tomboyish sometimes and sometimes she is just not too girly or high on attitude. Sometimes she is sweet, most of the times she is normal and sometimes she is super mad too. Sometimes

In Your Face!- The Friend Checklist

Dear All, It has been like more than my usual posting time since I last posted in September. This was unusually bad of me to have neglected this particular blog since it was the first one I ever had and it did and still continues to provide me the maximum audience I have. So, that makes me look really bad to myself because that is not how it should be. And so, my sincere apologies to "And so I thought and said". Anyway, so you all must have had a lot of friends, like minimum 10 of them and that is really really good for you because you should have a lot of people to hang out with. Yes! I just said that and I know it is mean but the reasons I can explain pretty well. You see, how do you define friends?  Someone with whom you can share everything you want to and you know you will not be judged. Your friend is someone who stand by you through thick and thin and do blah blah things for you. So positive na! Such beautiful way of defining friendship  which is actually anot
