Bestie's 10th Birthday





Imagine we are 10 yo kids…


Then how would I surprise on your birthday…???


Here is the tale-



“Happy Birthday”, I wished simply coyly as I shaked hands with you and you gave me 4 toffees unlike others whom you gave just one. I know, its best friend’s treat on your birthday. And now I have a reason to believe it. After distributing chocolates in whole class, you seeked teacher’s permission to give away those toffees to teachers of other classes. And when teacher asked you for your companion, the happiness was hearing my name. We went in every class together to distribute the toffees, discussing your birthday party at the evening. You were excited about your cousins coming to your place for celebrating your day. Coming back to class and attending classes. And yeah that sucks so much when its your bestie’s birthday and you have planned a surprise gift. At last, the bell for recess break rang and the teacher was gone. Before you opened your special lunch box, I called you, at my bench. Carefully taking out a piece of paper, kept in between books, just to make sure that it remains as good as it was made. Written in colorfully messy words scattered over the page, “Happy Birthday Ashu”, that was a greeting card. That bright smile on your face lit up more as I handed you your favorite chocolate, Dairy Milk.


That was it. No artificial gifts, no showing off. Birthday surprises can be so great, your smile was the proof of it.

Those were the days when my happy looking panda used to be more tiny.

We are dead, the day we were born!!! A million hearts, crying, Billion others, weeping. And still we can't hear, Are we dead or sleeping? Pundits slaves of hard cash, Can't we see the fuckin trash? Weird it is, the ash in sky!!! Better to say, the sky in ash! Cool, aren't we? Seeking great Wisdom to write on trees! Wailing thereafter, smoking- Roads, Save Paper, Save Trees! Sadist we are! Victims? Besides us, animals too. Rising waters, spreading- Wildfires, and raging flu! Where safety must be want, Cursed! Its her hasty need! Matured grown up brutes, Lost in lust, smokin weed! Wilderness of gloomy mess, Greed prevails in miseries! We are humans! Are we??? Soaked in real, but worries. Half dead, the day we're born! Ours is the time, make it sieve! If we can't, then let them live! If we can't, then let them live!

Coup de Grâce

Thank You!!! I was happy; When you smiled at me; When you passed by me; Especially when, you looked me, Standing by my side. Though you never called me; You never hold me; You never touched me; I was happy. But then you left me; Left me like anything; I was shattered & broken; I was sad, yet, ALIVE!!! And the last blow came, When you smiled at me, With someone else beside you... (Now, I wanna thank you; Thank You for Coup de Grâce! ) PS- Thank You!!! For Everything...

DREAM

Let's fade into this gentle dark night! Let's fade into this gentle dark night, In silent breeze, in silvery light. Two, together, walking holding hands, Looking through the creepy lands. Speaking steps, hearing haze, We, the us, running through maze, Before all this cracks into the bright,  Let's fade into this gentle dark night.  Warming breathe, closer hearts, Gathering the two broken parts. Together as one we'll mark height, Let's fade into this gentle dark night.  If not for once, then for forever night, Let's fade into this gentle dark night.  Before the dream cracks into the light, Let's fade into this gentle dark night.
