Didn't you know?

Didn’t he belong in your arms?

Didn’t you feel at home in his?

Didn’t you believe when he said he loved you?

Didn’t you blush at the way it sounded?

Didn’t you know it wasn’t a chance meeting?

Didn’t you know he’d set your heart fleeting

With myriad thoughts and emotions galore

Didn’t you know he was all that you longed for?

Didn’t your heart miss a beat, as he called your name?

Didn’t you realise your worlds becoming the same?

Living a Dream

Dedicated to the two most wonderful people in my life...

"No matter what the end is, my life began with you"

Not everyone is as blessed as me. I consider myself one of the luckiest persons on earth. I for one, always believed in following dreams and listening to my heart. Not because I was born with the innate ability to understand what it is to follow your heart and what pleasure it is to chase one's dreams! It came to me because I was born to such amazing people...who did not just teach me how to live but let me choose how to live. They did not show me where to go but, were always there as a guiding light whenever I found myself lost! Saying that I love them or admire them or adore them; just isn't enough. No matter how good a writer one is, sometimes words don't suffice!

You must be wondering what made me feel such things all of a sudden! That's because I'm just soooo happy and contented with everything that life has given me so far. I'm living my dream. It is through consolidated prayers and wishes that today, I'm basking in the glory of this moment. The realisation that I'm now doing something that I always wanted fills me with immense joy and gratefulness. Journalism, writing, Bombay; these were all a part of my dream... There's still a long way to go! My dreams nurture in your faith. Keep that trust in me forever and I shall always make you proud at every step of my life. Sunshine comes in all beautiful forms. For me, it is that glitter in your eyes, which gets instantly reflected in my smile :)

Thanks for letting me soar high. Thanks for believing in me. Thanks for all those moments when you let me learn the nuances of life. Thanks for all the affection you shower on me.

REWIND

I remember a memory
I play it again in my heart
I remember that smile
Wish I could just pause there
But the memory is rolling
And moves to another part
I remember those tears
And my heart rips apart!
But the pain is also transitory
Like the smile, it also disappears into the past
Then I smile; the past is gone, yesterday is over
And it has certainly made me stronger
Thoughts come for a while
Belief is what remains longer
I still cherish memories and rewind the past
Now with a conviction that Love is what always lasts...
