Take me away....

There he is
Yama sitting next to me
Gently whispering the words
That my marathon is over.


Time for me to leave
To leave my worries behind
That once seemed humongous
And feasted on my peace and happiness

The staggering heights that once astonished me
Are now nothing more than a speck under my foot
Peeking through the clouds
From the heavenly heights


To leave my loved ones behind
To leave a footprint on the sand of time
To leave a legacy
To leave my name echoing through the hills

Desperately did I long to
Hold on to that last second
While time slipped through my fingers
Like grains of sand trickling down the glass walls
Never to touch my fingers again

My final seconds ticking away
As the hands of the clock
Crawl towards the very last minute
My eyes well up in agony
Tears roll down my cheek
As a fresh wave of pain washes over me
Those times I had missed joy
Those moments I chopped relationships off
In these wrinkled times of mine
How I yearn they were at my bedside now,


Before I think of yet another
Chill darkness kisses my eyes shut
A kiss toward an eternal slumber
My eyelids in a locked embrace
Shushes the longing spirit
Into a freezing silence
Slipping into a slumber
And seals yet another chapter
In the book of Life and the universe.

I feel the pain slowly leaving me
Once and for all
The strained muscle holding itself together
Now a mere loose jelly
In a moment where frightening clouds of darkness choked me
The bridge towards the godly heavens lie under my feet
Like a penetrating ray of light through the gloomy clouds

As my feet touch the golden stairs
My soul departs and bids adieu
To an abode up high, beyond the clouds
While I lie six feet under.

Splendid Sisters! 👧👧

Hi guys! The person who embraced my successes and adversities, the one who always gave me a quick tickle and who made me realize the purpose of life is whom I want to share about today. Dear reader, if you are an elder brother/sister to a younger sister, you should consider reading this. Most elder siblings resent their younger sisters due to their drama-queen attitude. That does happen, a sister can be a brat sometimes. But, you know what? They can be heavenly blessings. They are cherubic sweet little angels, ready to bless your day and mine with a captivating smile (and no sister can be as sweet as mine, I bet!) who are ready to sacrifice anything for the defence of yours. Even if they have to take the second pick, they (almost) never protest. My sister is no less. She is classy, cool, carefree, hardworking, ideal and witty, the perfect figure of the today's independent modern woman's characteristics. She has an unbelievable ability - she can maintain size zero with...

Saffron

The snow of the mountains, still Bear the scarlet stains of your final act, The crisp, solemn winter air of Pinglan, still Stands a witness to the last moments of greatness. Even on your human case crumbling, The brilliance of your sacrifice Shone through the valiant bullet wounds. No matter the ages that trudge through, The rousing drum of your strength, Bravery amid paralysing pain, Strength amid the chaos, The sincerity of your offering, Like that of the great Kunwar Singh, Will echo in my heart for a lifetime. Your willing welcome of the last second, Pushes me to transcend the trivialities of life, And readily sacrifice what man holds on to, For a purpose greater than myself Or anything that I call my own. The unfathomable love and pride you nurtured For the soil that we shared, Stirs my soul to rise to the occasion, And fight till the very end,  Even if it meant sacrificing myself. As you arrived home, after months of separation Wrapped in streaks of saffron and emerald, Our h...

I'm not a stereotype!

"Oh, that one over there seems dark; should be a Madrasi." "Look, these Nigerian apes are here too! Thugs they are..," "Don't cry like a girl, boys aren't meant to cry!" "Why is he in the kitchen? He isn't supposed to do the chores!" You might have noticed what is common in these statements. You're right. Stereotypes. Stereotypes can be a part of daily life, no matter who you are. It can affect how you share ideas, communicate and think about yourself. From a classroom to a delegate meeting, stereotypes can be everywhere! Sometimes, people consciously or indirectly label another person through prejudice. Judging another person without knowing them personally. Labeling is absolutely unacceptable. Every person is diverse and unique in their own way. Racism isn't new to us. Branding a person regardless of their character can reflect how you perceive people and your racism. Even if we don't mean it, we...
