Funny Boy

"No more would i step out of that room and make my way down the porch steps to the altar, a creature beautiful and adored, the personification of all that was good and perfect in the world... "

"I thought of bride-bride and all those elaborate ceremonies I had invented, how i had thought that weddings could not be anything but magical occasions. How distant that time seemed, a world I had left far behind..."

"The araliya tree was bare of its flowers. They, too, must have been stolen.I was stuck then by a bitter irony. these araliya flowers must be offered to some god as a pooja by the very people who had plucked them, in order to increase their chances of a better life in the next birth."

:(
cos certain things in life seems to work in an annoying pattern. and life goes on in the strangest way, moves ahead in the weirdest direction.

People come and leave our lives too often.

Much awaited nightmare... finally over...

and... along with the best wishes for the tangible achievements, i silently realise what a failure i am in life all together.... with the things that really matter... and certainly cannot congratulate myself for that!

Someday... Somewhere...

Under a lover's sky
I'm gonna be with you
And no one's gonna be around
If you think that you won't fall

Well just wait until, 'till the sun goes down...

let me hold the hand of a heart that is only mine, whose colors can be felt and whose fragrance can be touched even in the times of darkness and conflict.

let me have faith in this world and be able to rise against the prejudiced to dream and become who i want to be.

let me not have anything to prove or logic to justify to let the heart feel what it feels when it does.

let me have the power to embrace the goodness in this callous world just for the short time, until i'm gone for good.
