Self Love

-

 

A voice never heard; Yet I can recognize. A verse never written; Yet I feel otherwise. A sight never seen; Yet clearer than ever. A scent never perceived; Yet it doesn't waiver. All this time I had been blind- Numbed by the material world. All this time I never found a home. The light I was seeking Had always been in me. The faith I thought was lost Was hiding in me. The one I was looking for Had been me all along. Today I'm grateful To all who helped; To all who let me down. You've made me what I am.

A Train Story (Part I)

  It was a nearly empty train compartment. She sat by the window fiddling with a Rubik's Cube. Outside, it was getting dark. The farms and small huts raced past. The slight drizzle accompanied by the clickety-clack of the wheels created a wonderful symphony, but she couldn't seem to enjoy any of it. It all faded into her mother's voice saying, " เค‡เคคเคจी เคฆूเคฐ เค…เค•ेเคฒे เคจเคนीं เคญेเคœเคจा เคšाเคนिเค। เคฌเคš्เคšी เคนै। " (We shouldn't send her this far alone. She's still a child.)       She started to realize what her mother meant. All of a sudden, she felt all eyes on her. The society had instilled a fear so deep in her that all the rationalism in the world couldn't make her feel safe now. She looked around. On finding no friendly face, she winced a little and continued looking out of the window cluelessly.       She knew that the Berdewadi Tunnel was coming up. The train had slowed down to a graceful trot. Before setting out, she was most excited about this...

  If you haven't read the first part, here's the link: https://nomadscholastic.blogspot.com/2021/06/a-train-story-part-i.html The train leisurely trotted through the tunnel. The majestic beast rumbled as the wheels turned on the time-tested tracks. Shreya was listening to that carefully curated playlist oblivious to her surroundings. Soon, the train whistled sharply the echo of which ran through the tunnel. Srikant pulled the earphone out of Shreya's ear. "Ouch! What was that for?" "Sorry! We're coming to the end of the tunnel. First timers have to see this." "But I said-" "I can tell a first timer when I see one. Now, shh!" Shreya couldn't resist smiling when she saw this child-like excitement in Srikant. As the train emerged out of the tunnel, it took some time for Shreya's eyes to adjust to the light. There was lush greenery all around. The train was moving along a ridge overlooking a green valley. Through the...

Penpal

  Found our first memoir. The first day we met, I was hesitant, And asked with a gentle tap "Can you spare a pen?" You smiled; Browsed through your bag, And handed me a pen; A black Flair with a golden cap. Just a couple strangers; Just a soul who happened to cross by. We wrote the exam together; Me seated behind you. Exchanging answers, Almost got caught once Smiling at some silly answer you gave. The final bell went off; Never before did I want an exam to last longer. "Here's your pen." You handed it back to me, "Until next time, partner." Today I still have the pen But there won't be a next time. This poem is about someone whom I lost recently. Keep making good memories because you never know which might be the last one. Peace out, friends.
