One day with the Diva..

(The following narration is based upon pure imagination)

It was Sunday, the 20th of May'12. The clock struck 2300 hours. I started preparing my bed. Just then, my cell phone started ringing. I answered the call. It was my best friend on the other side of the phone. Her voice sounded so excited. She just said 2 sentences. "Esha, you got selected for the outdoor trip with the heart-throb of all, the Diva, Kyra! So pack your bags, and get going, as you just have a week's time for preparing!" On hearing this I got so happy! I was immensely thrilled. I started thinking about the various fun activities I would do with my favorite Diva. But sleep intervened my thought process and I rolled down on my bed. And then I started dreaming................

Its a beautiful sunny day. With the bright sun overhead, everything around us looks so welcoming. I need to hurry up to reach the beach just in time for the volleyball game. Let me have a look at my wardrobe. Which would be the best dress?? Umm... Something comfortable, easy to carry, yet trendy. Oh here I've got one! Just the perfect one. My beaded maroon sleeveless top and a pair of blue capris! So I just now need to put this on and apply a bit of my new Lakme Sun Expert. And here I am, all ready, to join Kyra and the gang ;)!!

.....................................................*..................................................

Its so bright outside. I need to spot Kyra first of all, and then the rest of the girls. Oh there they are, all dancing to the tunes of Vengaboys! The warm sand is glittering like gold, and the blue water is so calm. Such a lovely place to enjoy our vacation.

.....................................................*...................................................

I better buy lemonades first, everyone must be thirsty by now! Here is one shop. "Give me 6 bottles of lemonade. Here's the money." "Hey gals! I am here. Grab your drinks now!" "Oh Kyra, you look so trendy in this dress! Its so much fun over here. Lets play volley after this drink!" 

.....................................................*...................................................

"Wow, that was a nice dive Kyra! Hey Sarah, watch your steps! Oh God, I'm so tired. Lets stop the game now!"

....................................................*....................................................

Rita: "It always feels heavenly to have a bite of your favorite chocolate cake, while  savoring the taste of roasted chicken, and soft music is being played by your side."
Sarah: "I totally agree with you. The mood gets better if you are lying down on the beach, and light breeze blows by!"
Kyra: "But girls, one thing we cannot deny! Summer was never so Fun before! All thanks to our new Lakme Sun Expert Range, and Esha of course, for coming up with this plan!"

.....................................................*...................................................

"But Kyra, where is this sound coming from? It sounds like an alarm clock. Where is it.......??????"

.....................................................*...................................................

I opened my eyes. Sun rays were playing on my rooftop and birds were chirping. It was 7 am.The lovely morning of May 21st, '12 greeted me. I wondered. So it was all a dream, huh?? I was so much happy with news of spending the coming weekend with Kyra, that I dreamt of all the Fun in one sleep! :). But no worries. I would definitely bring all those actions to reality and build many Fun memories. Wait for me Kyra!

THE VARIOUS REASONS TO DANCE............!!

There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them. - Vicki Baum

                                                            

                                                             .......... A very apt saying! DANCE is indeed the food for soul. It is something that can bring a smile to your face in an instant, and can fill your heart with a great joy. The very word floods ur brain with innumerable tunes, and your feet starts tapping. Ta Daa!.. 

But not all of us who dance, are professional dancers. Still we enjoy doing it. Why? Because, its a way of expressing your emotions! Dance can be the language of your love, your joy, even your sorrow. Dance can be your instrument of building up piles of memories. Dance can be a signature of your passion. Dance can be your revitalizing medicine. It can play a lot of roles indeed.

So when do we dance, specifically? Lets explore............

* Sister's marriage --> Bhangra party on Sangeet

* 1st love --> Close dance with your Beloved on the roof, in the rain

* Fresher's night @ college --> Rocking hip-hops with the DJ mix

* Celebration at office --> A Waltz with the team mate

* Idol immersion on Durga Puja --> Dancing at no absolute rhythm

* Long tiring day at school --> Music on, tapping starts

* Cultural function in the community --> A fusion of Kathak and Bharatnatyam

* Painful breakup --> Hours of dancing without any break, to keep the thought away

* Learning is fun --> Just a feet here, and a feet there

* AND SO ON......................

If somebody will ask me why do I dance? I will say, 'I dance to keep my soul alive, to let myself know that I have still some life left in me. I dance to feel happy. I dance to regain my lost being. This is why I dance'.

So, what is your idea of dancing?? :) :)

LOVE YOU MOM

I opened my eyes, your Face was the most beautiful thing to see... Radiant, Serene... In that instant, You became the First Love of my Life... 

I stretched my hands, to feel your Warmth... You Embraced me in your arms... I tasted Heaven on this earth...Wrapped in the utmost Bliss...

I tried in vain, to sleep on my own... You stroked my hair, pulled me on your Lap... Your Soft Humming in my ears, lulled me to my Dreamland...

I took a step forward, my first attempt to walk... You came Running to hold my hand... Your Support made me stand straight... And I walked without Fear...


I scribbled on my notebooks... You made me sit by your side... You Recited poems, Drew Flowers for me... I learned the pleasure of Reading...

I was a nuisance at the Dinner table... You got up early... You took the pain of cooking Delicacies for me... Everyday, without fail... I enjoyed the Best Food on this earth...


I came back from the school, eyes wet with tears... You understood I had a fight... You remained silent, and made me rest on your Shoulder... Your silence Comforted my Soul...


I told you a lie... You got me at the very moment... You scolded for my behavior... I became angry... You Reasoned with me... I never repeated the mistake in my life...

I packed my bags for the hostel... I got frightened at the thought of leaving home... You told me Stories how you fought with adversities... I became Brave...


I came to a new city... Unknown of what's in store for me there... I got confused... I called you up... You Advised ways to work out things... I felt Home...

I felt lonely, missed You all the while...You rushed to my place, just to be my Company... I felt happy with the thought of Having the Best Gift sent to me by God...

Ma, You are always there for me at every footstep. Be it a happy moment, or a tear-filled one. Be it my mistake, or I am being wronged upon. Each time I look around me, You are the first person standing by my side. THANK YOU for being my Friend, Philosopher and Guide. THANK YOU for being such a lovely Mother. THANK YOU for being 'You'. 



(Dedicated to my first love -  my Beautiful Mother.....................)

BIRTHDAY BASH.............. :)

Three days back was my li'l sister's birthday. That small kid who used to roll up on my belly and tickle me hard, turned fifteen last Thursday. As usual, I took all the responsibilities of arranging a small party for her. My first priority was to get the most suitable gift for her. I raked my brain hard, and then thought of buying pearl earrings. Then I ordered a chocolate cake for her, which is the most favorite thing in her life :). I invited all her friends and our relatives for a small get together. On the big day, leaving a 'Happy Birthday' message on my sleeping beauty's aka sister's cell, I started off early for my office. My intention was to finish off with my work quickly and leave the office early. Hopefully, everything went smooth, and I was done with all my work by the afternoon itself. I took a cab and returned home. On the way I also picked up a Jumbo-sized, musical greeting card from Archies .


As I reached home, my mother was already well prepared with all the home-made Delicacies for the guests. My father followed shortly after me, carrying the cake and goodies. Everything was set. The house was nicely decorated by lights, wall hangings, frills and balloons. My sister looked like an angel in the new dress she was wearing, and with my newly gifted pearl-drops on her ear. Soon the guests started coming in good number. The environment was filled with laughter and merriment. Everything went nicely. My angel got a lot of gifts to keep her busy with. Food was the best part of that evening. Everyone returned to their homes with a big smile on their face. 

The party was a grand success. All my efforts to make my dearie little sister happy, actually rewarded me back in a good way.  :)

WHAT IS THIS LIFE, IF FULL OF CARE, WE HAVE NO TIME TO STAND AND STARE....

The buzzwords of today's world are 'Rat Race'. Each one of us is tirelessly engrossed in the hard task of 'Meeting the Target'. But many a times, in the pursuit of the Goal, the Goal itself becomes bleak. Rather, we lose our Focus, in the never-ending quest of achieving the Best. We continuously endeavor towards getting 'Something' (even we are not aware of exactly what that can be) that should be more rewarding, as compared to what others are getting.



The endless rat race, somewhere down the line, separates our true selves from us, leaving behind a Human-Robot. This mechanical human-robot is programmed just for a single task. 'Run'!! Without even stopping to see when and where that race is going to end!



Nowadays, we have lost the right to stop for taking a heart-full of fragrance of our favorite flower. We cannot even stop to take a look at the little toddler playing in the park. We have no time to lie down on our cozy couch and get lulled in a deep sleep, caring the least for this world...
We have lost the habit of spending time to appreciate 'The Beautiful' around us. We are no more interested in giving hours, humming the tunes we love and penning our heart out. We have forgotten when was the last time we had actually enjoyed our meal, savoring every bite of it. Also gone are the days when one would spend the entire day, doing nothing, but thinking of the beloved. The significance of mother's soft touch on our hair, sister's naughty pokes on our belly, friend's usual crap advices have ceased to dwell in our thoughts. The world has entered a robotic era, clouding the softer side of every individual.



As intelligent beings, we should ponder on this very fact. Where do all these lead to? Doesn't it indicate to a future consisting of Mechanical Beings who are devoid of feelings, incapable of considering anything on the lines of emotion, perhaps compelled to run towards the 'Target' only, without even knowing what it is?



I think it is high time to work on ways to control this blind race, and find solutions to bring a balance to our lives! Best wishes for your efforts towards this ;) ...............

FINAL RENDEZVOUS.....

Alone 

and lonely....

I just stop by,

To say 'Goodbye',

To none else

But to me.......

Heart full of words,

Eyes full of tears 

Facing for the last time..

None else

But only me.....

Devoid of colors
Drained of love
Little is left 
of my Soul..
  
Drenched in the rain
Burnt in the sun!


I cry out 
and Howl..

But.. 
no one to hear my pain,
No one to embrace me hard..


So here, I walk alone..

Saying 'Goodbye'
for the very last Time


To none
But to Me.......
