Strive (Haiku)
head down voice meek
being dead but alive
an attempt to survive

Only Yesterday
I look into your eyes
And see the days gone by
Has it really been that long?
Since we met
Since we held hands
Since we first danced
How many years have gone by
Since that first glance
It was only yesterday when you I saw you laugh
And you took my heart away
It was only now when you winked at me
And together we swayed
All our firsts are still firsts
Million steps taken,
Million dreams dreamt
Zillion rules broken
Zillion lives spent
Only yesterday
So many songs still to learn
So many stories still to write
So many nights still to burn
So many fights still to fight
How have we already spent years together?
It was only yesterday when I didn’t know you,
When I wondered if you were there,
When I thought I would never find you
When I was a lost soul clobbered in a queue;
Waiting, wanting, lusting and rotting
I don’t remember
all the steps we took
all the bridges we crossed
all the pains and tears
all the panic and fears
I do remember
Your hands tightly around me
Your eyes always on me
Your hug and its warmth
Your words and your laughs
I do remember you
Always there for me
Just like it was yesterday,
The first time we were we
As we grow old together,
I see our shadows getting longer and longer
Our memories stronger and stronger
May our today be as long as yesterday
May our future be as together as today

Wine, Women and Wonderland
Me to Ar: I am going out. You
and Ay will be with dada. Okay na?
Ar: Okay but come back in 3-4
days please.
Me [Shocked]: 3-4 Days???? You
will be okay if I leave you for 3-4 days with Dadda?
Ar [Very Casual]: Yes, Dadda
also goes for 3-4 days all the time na, like that only you are going na?
Me [Sigh..relieved but sad]: I
may next time but today I will be back in 3-4 hours.
Ar: Okay bye [Runs off]
I leave the house alone
[Without Ar] almost after 2 years. I have left the younger one [Ay] alone a lot
of times with his dad but Ar is always with me. So while leaving I waited to
feel sad, to miss him etc but as soon as I left home..I felt liberated. No
sadness, no heavy heart infact I felt extremely happy, relieved and free.
I had left home for a bloggers
meet at a spa and saloon with expectations of some fun and some good pampering.
The afternoon that followed didn’t disappoint the free me , it was a blend of a
wonderful set of feisty women, tons of laughter and blissful/heavenly pampering
at a wonderful place JCB [Bandra].
As usual I reached before time
[But only few minutes before, my record of reaching an hour before the time
remains intact J
]. After looking around for a few minutes I was greeted by wonderful and
charming Amena from Fashionopolis our event organiser. After a chat of few minutes, I went head
on..rather feet on for some pampering. The pedicure was awesome. I was in
seventh heaven.
The place and staff looked warm and welcoming. I loved the ambiance
and the interiors. Products were arranged with utmost care, style and class.
For me personally when I visit
a salon I would want their staff to be well informed about their products and
services but yet would want them to give me space to enjoy the pampering. JCB
was spot on. The staff was not intrusive but friendly enough and they knew what
they were doing.
Slowly and gradually other bloggers started trickling in. A quick round of introductions and soon enough all of them were enjoying the pampering.

with her manicure
Kajal looking blissful
Vinita and Piya enjoying their head
massage
The glasses of red and
Champagne added to the magic. And before my stomach could grumble after few
glasses sumptuous array of finger food arrived.
The conversations, laughters,
gossips, food and wine went on for eternity [Atleast it seemed so; to my drunk
to death brains]. But soon came the time to say good bye, again not before some
goodies from JCB. What can I say we were pampered like queens.
I left the place with a bagful of goodies, phone full of new friends, mind full of bliss and a brain buzzing with wine, women and wonderland.
