Teach me to hide

-


In times of smiles, moments of sorrow
You stood by me like my shadow
It was much more than the heart and arrow

You were my guide in dark alleys
Taught me to be fearless and fight
Showed the bliss in sacrifice

Now that you are going for reasons unknown to me
Stay awhile and teach me to hide
Teach me to hide my tears and my pain
My vulnerabilities till I wane

Teach me to pretend my viscera is intact
That I haven't been hit by deadly bane
Teach me to smile while my morsels cry
Now that you are going stay awhile
Teach me to pretend, my love
That I am alive.

Messy Homes

Spick and span That's what my home was When we were just two Without the kid  With the baby around  I had no time  To dewrinkle the sheets Or unknot the chimes  Then the kids grew up  And scattered stuff At all places possible Not certainly the right one  The guests gave looks That I refused to decipher When not an inch of sofa Seemed free to sit  I would just exclaim The kids you see! They smiled and consoled  But judgements never ceased  I would think to myself It will be fine someday When they grow up White carpets and glass vase!  Then they bid adieu  Their rooms emptied We were two again The house ,exquisite and clean  No littering , no colors on walls No wheels lying alongside the small car It's perfect and lifeless in this pretty dome I miss that messy home

It was cool whether I realised it then, that's  a different matter.  Listening to lelo paisa lelo pyaar ..beautiful song. @IIM B for MCTP

Random night musings

  There is this phrase,  "Dimaag ki dahi banna". It is technically quite sound in a sense. Imagine your brain like a pot of milk. It is good but it's good only till you introduce half a teaspoonful curd starter into it. It can be any damn disturbing thought,  just a small morsel and then you see the metamorphosis. Slowly this small weird disturbing thought will convert the normal thing in your brain into curd, the whole content will become disturbing. But there are certain conditions to be followed 1. The brain should not be at peace when you give it the starter neither should it get cold fast while the fermentation is on. A highly lukewarm milk aka brain is essential. Keep it hot. Put it in casserole , that's better isolated from the influence of any cool air, positive ideas or sensible people. 2. Give it time. Sufficient time to rake past, present, future, dissect behavior of people, what they have done/not done. Once your brain gets that time it will curdle. ...
