To Drive (Hell) in a Metro~~

To drive(hell) in a Metro:


Slimy, Sticky and greasy,
Driving amongst smoke clad armors
I fathom what I will look like in months few
A Britney Spears turned Janet Jackson?
As I jut my Activa’s nozzle through every minute gap
I dread my future,
My life, after today.
Fear grips me as ruthless men drive their way
Inconsiderate about anyone else on the road
As if the entire world was their own
And as if they didn’t care about life and death anymore.
Vivid flashes of grueling blood haunt my memory.
You aren’t allowed to drive sane even if you like to
With the guy behind you honking and you jump the signal
Right in time to get hit.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s cos of too many people or too many vehicles.
A zillion bikes and a trillion cars,
Infinite Autos and alien like buses.
Then I realize it’s not the number
But the people who will have to change.
Every person leaves his ethics once he kick starts his bike.
Oh how lovely it would be to sit back and watch someone else drive!

What is love?

What is love?

Sometimes as I am sitting, staring at the skies, lost in thoughts this question comes to my mind.”What is love?” Although most of us wouldn’t really be able to come up with a proper definition am sure most of us would have passed a stage where we take our relationship to the next serious level and wonder “Are we with the right person?”

Of course Love can happen to you through a lot many people. Mom, sister, friends. Everyone touches your heart in some way and you never know how to give it back to them. But today, I am here to write about this guy who means the world to me.

Love to me is a little about compromising here and there. We are in the car and am trying to play some song, our interests in music are like the two ends of a pole (not that any of our other interests match!), over the years I have learnt to enjoy and appreciate his likes too, and so I choose one of his favourites I instantly see his face glowing with happiness and beaming with pride. Yes men really don’t need big stuff to make them smile. He is happy because it’s his favourite song and proud cos his girl knows him well. That feeling of happiness that i gave him for a few minutes made me happy.

It’s about that wide grin I see on his face and the smile from me which he sees and understands when we meet after a few days. It’s about all the gibberish you can talk which wouldn’t make sense to anybody else but to the both of you.

When there is something special cooked at his place, the first thing he tells me is, “I’ll bring it for you in sometime” It could be the smallest thing, but the happiness that it gives knowing that he has the thought to come share it with me surpasses anything else. No matter how sick he is, he would hide all that and come to see me, and I would instantly guess something is wrong. He would put me off saying its nothing, although it’s not very difficult for me to see it in his eyes.

Somewhere down the line, you know that love is not just about a passionate kiss, and about electrifying sparks. It grows deeper with each passing day.

Where I am just holding your hand and walking down the beach,

 When I am looking out for you in a crowded street,

And when our eyes meet, I so know you’re smiling to yourself

Arms wide open you come for a hug and

That makes all the difference. The moment which tells you “what love is”.

Of course everybody has their difficult times. It’s about a little understanding that every relationship has its ups and downs, a little patience, forgive a little and laugh it off about how silly you were.

To the boy who grew up to be the man in my life,

From teenage to adulthood,

What I have seen in you is always love.

Every time your love never reduced, never wavered

It grew, matured and only became stronger

When I feared, you were my pillar.

When I cried, you were there not just to wipe my tears

But to give me the strength to hold on and fight for what we wanted.

For all that you have taught me,

And for always holding on to me.

These were some moments where I realized what love is. I really hope each one of you do find such moments and hold on to it.

I dedicate this blog, to the man who has been my best friend and has loved me unconditionally through times thick and thin.

Thiru, thank you very much. For all the love you have showered and continue to do so.

Love,

aishu

are you yourself?

Are we being ourselves at every point in life or do we let the people around us influence us on our decisions?

The other day i happened to watch Dabbang- the movie which ppl say is a great comeback for Sallu Ji..Personally I am not a fan of Salman Khan and I wasn't the least interested to watch this movie.

But a lot of friends said the movie was a real entertainer and so I thought maybe okay i should check it out and booked my tickets.I saw the movie and I wasn't sure how I really felt about it.If those friends hadn't told me it was good , would I have decided for myself whether it was good? or worth a watch? but because they told me it was a good entertainer and I personally didn't like it to that extent I was unable to comment.

This doesn't happen just for movies, it also happens on bigger and more serious stuff in life as well.Our dressing sense,the mobile we choose to buy, the book we wish to read if you think about it, a lot of stuff are actually not what we really have thought we wanted to do.

A lot of people do things just because their friends do or the people around them do.I know guys who have started to drink because their friends make fun of them and ridicule them for being a sissy.

A lot of failed relationships cos ppl told you he wasn't the right guy for you or she wasn't the one for you.

So who starts it at the first place? A new trend or an opinion about a restaurant? is he the only person who can think for himself? are they the only people who aren't influenced by external forces?why cant each one of us be ourselves in every walk of life?

Unless you feel you need something about yourself which requires a transformation and you need to get rid of something about yourself to turn into a  better person do not give up who you are for anything or anyone.Your Individuality is something that you should hold on to forever.
