An unconditional love

We don't always want someone who would always love.
Sometimes we want some one to scold us,
and hold our silly selves together.
Someone who would guide us how to curve
the path of our life without a fuss.
And will catch us even when we are falling like a feather.

They will give the blow of support..
Teach us how to fly..
My family, but he isn't my dad, she isn't my mother.
Sometime their words are as sharp as a sword,
especially when someone is rude and sly.
Though not by being our parents, because she is my sister and he, my brother.

They didn't give me birth..
But looked after me ever since..
Been there beside me with the promise of forever...
With them, I didn't feel dearth
of love, as they always rinse
all the negativity and didn't let them come back again ever.

Their promises were unsaid...
They silently take care of my heart's province..
They make my dumb self clever...
How kind that God really made
them for me, since
they really did savour
my stuffs.
And I know those were real,
not some kind of a bluff.

They taught me that love isn't always romantic..
You don't have to lock it everytime with a kiss..
Sometime a strand of string can also retain love's flavour.
Held my hand, when I had to accomplish the streak
of hardship, even hold the hands when I miss
the chance of being braver.

My protection sheild,
Read these lines before you jump on me and I get killed.
Here's a string of words for my living bliss
All the blessings from my side, and a soft, gentle kiss.
Here's a poem for the one who just came from nowhere and changed my fate,
Remember I love you a lot, though you are only the one  whom I lovingly hate.

The 70 years Old Man...

Seventy! It is not just a number, you see. Rather this number marks the soul which is free. Free from being bullied, because I am brown. I was bullied by the white people, who has the Kohinoor on the Crown. I was not the only one though, to see the torture; because I myself heard my brother to murmur, the pain he was going through that day. How helpless I felt because I had nothing to say. We didn't forget the date when our bond got lost; till date, we are both, paying the cost. Well, I personally did achieve a lot. Till now I cry and wonder how my babies fought in Kargil and secured me from other fights, I still remember the formation of Constitutional Rights. I still remember how badly I got terrified, when the Emergency period got me petrified. My this very brown skin was crowned in Miss World and Miss Universe. I went to the moon and back, and also succeeded in touching the Mars. I suffocate all the time because of the pollutions  caused by the cars. T...

A lost Friend...

I lost a friend of mine at the age of nine. A friend who was as if, carrying my blood. Still now my memories do flood with all the moments, penned down by us. He got lost, because of a single fuss. A fuss that started way back, when his parents heard him cry. Asked him to stop, on his very first day, because crying is not what he should try. His parents' belief that tears would make him weak, actually made him weaker instead. It didn't matter now if he got beaten up, or got sick; he still wouldn't cry, even if his face become red. No one actually said to him that crying wasn't bad, it's actually letting your emotions flow when you are sad. The mistake we made by not knowing what real feminism is, put up a huge burden of responsibilities on those little shoulders of his. The shoulders that cracked up, because of those huge responsibilities. Lying weak at night but standing strong in the morning, was one of his abilities. Or perhaps, that was the...

It's Golden Brown...

In my country I am treated so well, that there is not a single moment I thought of staying under the veil. Whenever I went to shop for my meal; they always offered the dual combo deal. But I didn't want the combo, rather something which would fit my diet. Diet that would make me look thin and smart; though that wasn't my real appetite. But I had to change my taste, because society taught me that is what is best; for me, for her and for all our fat ladies out there. Else people will talk for wearing dresses, which are partially bare. So, you see the amount of love that I get, and mind you, this is not body shaming. Because right from my childhood I have been taught that it is cute if someone is naming. Naming that hurts you the most, and makes you realise that beauty also comes with a cost. But what about Jane? My friend, who is insane, and is always busy buying cosmetics; because for her, it is more important to flaunt her aesthetics. Because witho...
