Foolishly, With Love

-
How foolish I was,
I fell in love with life knowing that it would end,
I fell in love with the night knowing that it would dawn,
I fell in love with the cold knowing that I would not always feel it,
And
I fell in love with you knowing that it would never be mine,
Yet I loved — wildly, endlessly,
As if endings could be bargained with,
But perhaps,
It is not so foolish to love what slips away.
It’s a moment, the moment where I live, breathe and feel
The life,
The night,
The cold,
You
It was a burning, a trembling, a whisper —
And in that,
Perhaps I was wise after all.
How foolish,
How beautiful,
How human?

Sunday. Office leave? Noon. Just woke up? Taking a bath. Who showers on a Sunday? Aren't you supposed to chill, relax and be lazy on purpose to enjoy one day off your 7 days where you work hard for the rest 6 days of the week? For me. Sunday. Office leave? Nope, Got to get to work. Noon. Just woke up? Nope, woke up early morning. Taking a bath. Who showers on a Sunday? Got to stay fresh, so that'd be me. Or could be you? (Pssstttt..

Me, Myself & Mathematics

We all have that fear towards maths, the subject which actually tests our basic understanding. As an elder person we might’ve advised our younger ones to study seriously despite the fact that we did not do the same. Among people who hated maths, I was no different. I have 2 incidents to share from my life that is related to maths. Here it goes- I was studying 4th standard and I feared maths (like, I told you). There was a maths teacher who made us routinely to recite multiplication tables from 5th till 19th tables, every day. (And, I mean everyday!!). The whole class used to say it loudly in unison and the ones who didn’t know were able to escape by lip-sync (just imagine singers lip-syncing on stage without giving you any small suspicions) and one day she came up with a shocking solution. She would randomly point out any person and ask them to recite any multiplication table of her choice in front of the class. I managed to escape a lot of times but luck did not f...

A Ray Of Hope

Have you ever got stuck on the way to your house in the middle of a night; 1 km away from your house, with nothing to light your path but the thunderbolts flashing over you, rain splashing the road almost making it hard to tread upon, a phone that has a single LED flash light but dead battery and ALL ALONE BY YOURSELF?? I experienced it!! One hell of an adventure, I must say.      It happened back in the month of November, 2012. I’d gone to Anna university college, Guindy as I‘d some work which took me less time to finish but then I decided to watch their cultural event Techofes'12, which I ‘d not anticipated that it’d turn into a nightmare later. So... it was very entertaining with all the singing and solo dances, and there was a HipHop dance championship that was scheduled to kick off @ 8 pm. I wanted to leave for home but then I was fascinated by the fact that it‘d be very thrilling to see a HipHop competition happening LIVE. So I stayed back, as I...
