My Literary Indulgences...

I love you, and am paying the fine, Wishing at some time, in someplace, in some world, you could be mine… Saying that I deserve better, she asks me to move on, And if I disagree, then I am a moron… I give in to her as always, and regretfully obey... After all how can I not do what she says??? I see a girl with eyes round and big, But there’s no twinkling like in my princess’, on which I dig… I see a girl with a complexion fair as snow, But there’s no purity in her like in my princess of which I know… I see a girl with a big and bright smile, But there’s no dazzle as is in my princess’ all the while… I see a girl polite and kind, But there’s no warmth which makes even her rebukes soothing to my mind… She says that I’ll find someone, that I deserve the best... She doesn't understand... It’ll always be she, my princess...my hummingbird... Whom I look for in every girl in my quest…

And so I receive my maiden blogging award. I thank you Prerna - P Subbu's mind-crap (http://worth-a-million.blogspot.in/) from the core of my heart, for all your appreciation. To be honest I do not read blogs much and post my works so that it functions as an online repository (I have a thing with hard drives that crash - and yes I do not maintain a hard copy due to my illegible handwriting). As goes the tradition, I pass on this award to Joshi Daniel's mindblowing photoblog - http://joshidaniel.com/ His pictures speak more than my thousand words... Some other superb blogs I'd like to nominate are - Jahid Akhtar's Flashbacks - http://jahidakhtar.blogspot.in/ Rajkumar's The Traveller - http://www.lamoillehouse.com/ Dr. Sneha Rahatekar's A Colloquy of Bittersweet Love - http://sneharahatekar.blogspot.in/

Life goes on, people come and go... Some turn out to be friends, some foes... I have seen it all, the white dark and grey... Met many people along, in most interesting ways... Such was the case when I first saw her... Her memory stands out among many others... Her big round eyes made my emotionless heart sway... Her cute face and dazzling smile took my breath away... Fair and sweet like a princess of some fairy tale... Her innocent beauty gave me a heady feeling, like Scottish ale... Seasons changed and our friendship grew... We'll hit it off so good I never knew... The euphoria of her friendship gave me a high... My life seemed complete; I believed I could fly... I shared my secrets and past, bared it all... From my all-time highs to my greatest fall... Her childishness kept the child in me alive... A long lost tenderness in me she revived... I remember her coming to me for advice... Talking of her love life in deep long sighs... Life with her then was rosy

Yet another birthday passed by, quite an eventful day… Boundless joys at the wishes that came, for those which didn't, some dismay… A multitude of emotions registered, but through to the core only one did sift… The ethereal happiness which lasts, from receiving several heart-stirring gifts… The Gift of Childhood… As the years passed by something in me was lost… Bitter experiences transformed me to a man serious than most… But all the playfulness and merriment were released from chests long locked… I saw my blithe childhood return, gazing at my sister’s gift – a puerile clock… The Gift of Understanding… People shy away from eccentricity, as now being unusual is akin to being freak… In the savage world of frenzied coders, I am one of the few with a literary streak… The rat race for certificates amuses me, for internships and projects, I never grovel… My pal is the one who understands me, and he gifted me two beautiful novels… The Gift of Encouragem
