A New Life !!

Reva looked at things scattered in the shop that opened in fifteen days. She wanted everything to go well. After all, it was a new lease of life that she had almost snatched from destiny after being duped into marriage to a psycho. Divorce was hard. Even harder was the pressure of being independent. She wasn’t educated but was creative. That’s what she decided to do. Use her talent for turning scrap and mundane things into unusual and beautiful interior decoration pieces. Who would have known that a hobby picked up randomly would be her bread and butter one day!

Truth - 100 words

Since an hour, her mother grumbled something.

‘Why are you grumbling without reasons?’ asked dad.

‘It wasn’t me. You are mistaken. You don’t trust me?’ said dad after hearing mom. 

‘You are lying. Don’t fool me. I know it was you’ she heard her mom say.  

‘I wasn’t even at home. How could I have done this? Ask Neha, she was at home whole day’. dad said

And she realized that she could no longer hide the truth. She had to tell her mother that it was she and not her diabetic dad who had finished entire packet of rasgullas.

You

‘Earth to Mars. Hello. This is Earth to Mars. Can you decipher the signals, Mars? God !! You are not even listening to what I am teaching you. You have interview tomorrow, remember? You need to revise these concepts. You just cannot miss this chance, Abhay. You need to concentrate. Con-cen-trate. Do you hear me?’ Riya said waving her hand.

‘I am concentrating on something more important’ replied Abhay

‘Right. And what exactly is that?’ Riya said, getting irritated and closing the book in her hand.

‘You’

And he saw her lips curving into a smile that brightened his day.

Xenolalia : 100 words

When Rehaan was three, he picked up hindi and urdu words. His family was amazed at his learning speed. As years passed by, he kept on speaking some incomprehensible words. Nobody in village understood what he spoke. The news spread like wildfire. Media got involved and it was found that he knew twelve languages at the age of ten. The world had found a new child prodigy. His fame grew wide and far. When questioned about how he knew so many languages, little Rehaan had no answers. Little did the world know that he remembered languages from his previous births.  

P.S. – Xenolalia is the ability to speak in a foreign language which a person has not learned nor been exposed to.

Visitor

He always borrowed music from friends. Somebody told him about pirated music websites. Ah, paradise. While he searched hungrily for songs that he always wanted, a message on right side popped up. ‘Congratulations, You are Visitor No. 99,99,999. You Won. Just click on this message to claim your prize’. He couldn’t believe his luck. Quickly, he clicked on the link that took him to a new site which lured him into sending cash prize of one crore rupees after he filled his bank details. He did. What he didn’t know was that he would remember his foolishness for a lifetime.

Unexpected : 100 words

Insomnia made him do things he usually didn’t do. Like visiting a chat site to talk to strangers. One night, he chatted with somebody called ‘simple_girl’. They chatted for hours together about life including their past relationship failure. Both of them gave each other reasons why their relationship had failed and what they had learnt out of the failure. 

At the end of it, he wanted to know her in real. He asked her name or atleast her facebook account information. After much denial, she agreed. What she typed next, was totally unexpected. He had been chatting with his ex-girlfriend.

We, the Nocturnal Tribe !!

Oh, it’s that wonderful time

When only a handful few hear those serenity chimes

Lovers to each other whispering sweet nothings

Exes remembering some old broken things

Writers pouring their hearts out

Readers digging a book inside out

Radio jockeys humming into their mikes

Insomniacs and sleep deep into a fight

Students with books burn their midnight oil

Hapless employees on their spreadsheets toil

Security guards on duty, sticks clasped in their hands

Thugs successfully working away somewhere with their plans

Yes, we all are strangers in the night

Bound by a connection obscure, a part of this nocturnal tribe!!

Prompt: Strangers in the night.

I would have seen a different me !!

Had I looked back at my old self                                              

I would have seen a different me

An introvert sitting quietly

Whilst dreaming away to glory

So conscious of the world views

Never being able to give back hurtful dues

Confidence never near you

Having friends just a few

Poems in hidden diaries

Scared of letting anybody inside my world of fairies

Awaiting some magic to change life’s highway

Not knowing it was only ME who could do it any day

Had I looked back

I would have seen a different me

Would have taught her to just let go, be free!!

P.S. This post is written for -100 Words on Saturday hosted by Write Tribe. The prompt is ‘Had I looked back’

Mr. Know-It-All

So, you think you know it all

You think you alone stand tall?

It’s what you think is always right

But, ever thought from other’s viewpoint?

Snapping at wife

Fired the employee

She didn’t know how to cook

He was unaware of how the presentation should look

The children don’t score as much as you did

Maid doesn’t know how to close that expensive jar’s lid

Ever wondered about the efforts they make!

Is it only complaints in your head that you bake?

Wish you knew, living with people like you is not at all a walk on the cake!!

I knew it was my last day there

I knew it was my last day there

From tomorrow, I would be else somewhere

Daddy’s darling daughter

Sweetheart for mother

I am seen as a grown-up today

‘Single’ I would be only for the day

My cupboard, my desk, my bed…

This is the place where my entire life I have led

I have laughed, I have cried

Tantrums with Daddy I tried

Celebrated every birthday

Blessings showered everyday

Tomorrow, I leave everything behind

How I wish, each and every moment I could rewind

I knew it was my last day there

Coz tomorrow; I would be else somewhere!!

Every once in a while

Every once in a while

I get bogged down

I cry, I frown

Losing hope

Landing into situations I can’t cope

 

But deep down a flicker of light lives within

That keeps me sane and breathing

A passionate fire that burns all the time

And that’s you - My blog, My writings and My rhymes

A smile spreads across my face

As soon as I open my blog’s webpage

Close to my heart you reside

There is nothing here that I hide

I play with words and savour them too

My Blog – you are my sunshine whenever I am blue!!
