Wherever Are All The Happily Everafters???

"You been searching the world to find true love, looking in all the wrong places;
When all of the time you've been blind to love, it's plain as the nose on you face is.
Right here, right now open your eyes to love"

Glancing at the newpapers all over the place, I see stories of couples who once vowed till death do us apart, now washing their dirty linen in public and screaming their lungs out over what an obnoxious other-halves they fell truly-madly-deeply fell in love with once upon a time, long long ago!! Once better-halves are now turning bitter-halves!! I wonder why?? It is sad to say this, but most people work harder on their two-minute popcorn than their twenty-year old marriages. Is there anything that sounds more depressing than that?

With technology and everything else making life so easy, I wonder why are things not getting easier on the family front. More divorces, more heartbreaks, more extra marital affairs, more tears, more regrets, more abortions, more one night stands, more of everything that is sad and gloomy. And lesser and lesser of all the happy, good and not-so-gloomy stuff.

We are so used to the convenience stuff, that no one walks that extra mile today, no one turns the other cheek anymore, no one forgives and forgets seventy-times-seven, ever! All we get to doing is planning how to get back, how to let down and how to make the other person pay. Why is it that the eyes in which we saw endless love once upon a time, don't see eye-to-eye any more?? Why? The answer of all these questions lies in love and in loving yourself and the people around you. It isn't impossible, if only we learned to love a 'lil more, laugh a 'lil louder, walk a 'lil slower, whisper a 'lil softer with your loved one - things would surely begin to look better and beautifuler. Let's all pledge to fall in love - with the same person - over and over again - for the rest of our lives - in sickness and in health - as long as we live - till death do us apart - sounds all good to me!!

Let's get back to the good old days where all once upon a time always ended with and they lived happily everafter!! Trust me, it is possible! Don't believe me?? Well, have a good look at your parents, buddy!!! I'm sure you'll agree!!

Let's say "I'll love you till the end" to that special someone in your life and mean it from your heart as well. And then - just live up to that promise; no matter what. And then, there will be more happily everafters!!

Stay Precious!! Love you!!! God Bless!!!!  :)

I will be going to my home town in some time and I am in a state of mixed emotions!! On one hand I am happy and excited about being to Kerala and meeting my family there; but at the same time, I know I am gonna miss the family that I am gonna leave behind here - my family at my workplace. I know it's just a matter of days, but still I am gonna miss them dearly.


I am gonna miss my girlfriends - Chits, Rams and Manali. I am really gonna miss you three power-and-puffed-gurls (all three fat, no??) a lot!! Thanks to them, I don't feel the need for a guy in my life!! And who knows, I may end up marrying one of them!! Pssst....don't tell them, okay?? They'll freak out!! Ahem!! Hmmm, and so while I am in Kerala and munching on some banana chips and sipping chood-chood kaapee, I am gonna think about you three and I am gonna miss our endless bitching sessions, our non-stop laughter clubs, our never ending coffee conversations, our pitiful and sorrowful sobbing dramas, our race for who-goes-to-the-loo first and gets-out-the-earliest, our fingering with the lift buttons, our watery-mouthings of exotic food, our madness, our antics, our endless love for each other, I am gonna miss all of this...

And I am gonna miss Chitra's 360° eye-rolling philmy-shytle naaaaaatak baazi...

And I am gonna miss Ramya's pravachan about how everyone is right in their own sweet way...

And I am gonna miss the look on Manali's face whenever she hears TMIO...

And then I am gonna miss irritating Avdhut with my "Kya? Kya?? Kya??? Haaan? Haan?? Maine nahi suna" ragas...

And then I am gonna miss asking Cyrus "Are you angry on me??"

And then I am gonna miss asking Tejas "Does your dad work with Orbit??", just to get hold of the last piece of chewing gum he's got!!

And then I am gonna miss Joel (aka Pinky aka Koel aka Jaw Ill) testing my patience levels with his mad-mad antics. I am gonna miss calling him a DAWG...


And then I am gonna miss bossing around the place and telling everyone else "Don't you have any work??" "Can we please change the topic??"

And then I am gonna miss all the people that I argue and fight and irritate (that includes Mahesh, Hitin, Pushkar, Rohan, Jacob, Pratik)

And then I am gonna miss everyone else on the 2nd floor...

And then I am gonna miss that Christmas celebration on the 7th floor...

And then I am gonna miss Ashirwad's paneer biriyani...

And then I am gonna miss my dearly beloved Richard...!!! How could I ever, ever not miss him, huh?? 

Hmmm, till we meet again in the brand New Year, here's wishing all of you a Merry Christmas, a wonderful vacation and a delightful New Year!!!

Take care and God Bless. Stay Precious. :)

P.S. I will miss you.

And if you miss me too, just go through my blog over and over again, again and again and again and again and again...

Thanks for all your love. You're all really a family to me!

Love ya!! See you soon!!

Whoa!! I'm going to Kerala!!!

It's been almost five years since I've been to my janma-bhoomi, my God's own country, my very own malayaleegalude Keralam!! And I am very upbeat and excited about it. 'Coz after all these years I will finally be getting to meet my cousins and my extended loving family that lives way down south after a long long time! I am excited 'coz I know that I will be pampered to the core with all the love and the attention and the affection that I am gonna get!! Who doesn't love to be pampered, huh?? I do!! I really, really do!! And most importantly, after all the slogging and the hard work that I do in office - this is really a much needed and a much deserved break; way far far away from the maddening crowd!!!


But all the same, I am a tad nervous too!! You may wonder why. It's 'coz this trip is gonna be different from the earlier ones - before I was just a little girl, still struggling with her grades and college; but now I will be going there as a woman who is a graduate (finally!!!), who is working and who by all means could be labeled (mind you - could be!!) the ideal bride by most Indian standards!! And that gets me a bit nervous!! 'Coz I am pretty much sure that all my relatives are gonna fuss over my big fat Indian wedding!! Not their fault though, 'coz I am the youngest on my dad's side and the eldest on my mom's!! So both the halves are eagerly waiting for my Holy Matrimony! But I am not much worried 'coz I know that my dearly beloved parents are unperturbed and unaffected by all of this drama that surrounds my virtual wedding!! I can relax 'coz I actually got a warrant from dad saying that, "Mole, get this straight - you are NOT getting married before 2012!!" Thanks dad, I love you!!


But - what are my thoughts and fantasies about my own wedding?? To tell you the truth, I always imagined and secretly wished for a knight in shining armour - tugging on this white horse - sweeping me off my feet kinda thing happening to me...hmmm I know, I know all girls do! But now at 23, I guess I should be acting my age (which is next to impossible!!) and come out of my fantasy world and keep my eyes wide open to the reality around me - THERE IS SIMPLY NO KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR TUGGING ON A WHITE HORSE...AT THE LEAST FOR ME!!! I mean - it din't work out for so long and now I guess I am too old for fake fantasy stuff!! I just wish I could convince this die hard romantic heart of mine!! Me sounding too cynical, no? Hmmm, I know; but people change, right?? I guess I have changed too!! And they say changes are good...I have no choice but believe them!!! Atleast for now...

Whatever!!!

India TV Imagine knows all the tricks of the TV trade! I wonder at the producers' acumen at making up crap that has our Indian audiences glued to the idiot box 24x7!! Which is not a wonder actually, 'coz as nosy Indians, we are more interested in what's cooking in the neighbour's bedroom than our own!! Quite a feat though - considering we're still No. 1 in the baby boom! No wonder we know more about Rakhi Sawant and her baratis, than the global meltdown (both - economical and ecological)!

And now comes yet another drama sensation that's hypnotising the Indians over - Raaz Pichle Janam Ka! The entire set up starting from enchanted backwards-ticking-clock to the two-ear-pierced Ravi Kissen's dramatized voice drop everytime he quotes "Raaz Pichle Janam Ka", to the Dr.(!!! is she???) Trupti Jain's thundering-hoarse voice (her croaking-chords should fuse the daylights out of a person than put them to sleep!), to the poor victims' tear jerking narratal of their past deeds and misdeeds - everything, everything is so well dramatized on prime time television - with the whole of Hindustan watching (as Mr.Ravi-good-for-nothing-else-Kissen puts it!)

I wonder what lengths people would stoop for their two seconds of fame under the sun! It is ridiculous to see people wanting to have a peek into the so-called past life to solve the problems of the present!! I mean, just think about it for a second - going back into the past life (if there is any!) to solve riddles of the present, sounds like gibberish to me at the least!! I believe that we have got all that we'll ever need to deal with our lives' givings and misgivings without any need for regression therapy or for that matter - numerology or tarot or feng shui or graphology or any-other-crap!! If things worked the feng shui or the numerology way, then all our problems would go boom by a mere adjustment of either the furniture in the bedroom or the re-ordering of the alphabets in our name! Wow!! If things worked that way, life would be so much easier to handle, no? Duh!!

It is a shame to see the educated folks falling prey to such idiosyncrasies. It's time we started thinking for ourselves than let people or the idiot box feed crap into our systems. It is time we dealt with our fears and phobias and everything-else in a more mature manner than turn to a bunch of idiots who look at the suns and the moons for problems here on earth!! It is time we take responsibility for who we are, what we are, and what we are not. It is time we wake up to oursleves and the world around us. Don't ya think??

P.S. : I like one thing about Raaz Pichle Janam Ka though - it is the only show which allows the contestant to sleep at ease on a cozy bed - all on prime time TV!! What else could you ask for??!! I strongly recommend it to all the sleep deprived janta. You will sure return happier - one hour of sleep on TV sounds too good to resist, no?? What say, huh??

Q & A

Today morn as I was breezing through VH1, I saw MJ's Dirty Diana, and what struck me (apart from MJ's persona) was that all the guitarists in the cover had LONG HAIR!!! I mean what's with a guitar and your locks, huh?? I've been taking guitar lessons from quite some time and I have seen the guys there with hair flowing like Goldilocks'!! Do they have long hair just to fit into the mould? Or do they have long hair 'coz they lurve long hair?? Well I dunno!! Thinking about all this, made me look back and wonder of all the silly questions that kept popping outta my head! Well, I personally feel it is good to ask questions, no matter how duh! they sound like. It's better to speak out, than to spend your life staying mum, what say??

And right from my kiddie days, I have always had like a zillion questions rushing through my head!! Thankfully they have never lead to any serious discoveries like the law of gravity of sorts yet! My questions are more like "what will happen if the trains' tyres develops a puncture??!!" Then, I was way too small to figure out that train had wheels and not tyres!! And then I used to wonder and rack my head about "how does a train turn, whenenver it needs to?!" I pacified my brain of sorts by telling it that "the world is round and big, buddy; so if the world is big enough to let a train run on it, it might let it turn around as well!!" Dumb as it sounds!!


Then another thing that gave me sleepless nights was - wherever did all the poop in the areoplane go??? I just couldn't seem to fathom this one!!! I kept getting frequent nightmares of a huge bird-winged aeroplane loosing all it's bowel-control!! I mean I was so damn buggered by this one, that a plane zooming past high in the sky sent shivers down my spine, thinking if I would be the chosen one on whom they decide to empty their poop-basket!! Ewwww!!!!
Now even after growing this old my bag of duh! questions doesn't seem to end at all!!! I always have got something to ask! My pals will bet on that! My list of questionnaire keeps growing longer and longer and longer and...

Another question that comes to my mind right now is,"Why are most Fashion Designers gay, huh?" Any answers? Everyone? Someone?? Anyone???

10 Things I Hate About You

Tweet

STATUTORY WARNING : To all the Guys : Please don't read this. This may be harmful for your inflated ego-balloons!! But if you are brave and could take a 'lil bit of criticism from a girl; go ahead and read on!! And as you read this; if you suffer from low self- esteem...mind you, I am NOT be blamed, you were warned well in advance, weren't you??


They say - Men are from Mars..how I only wish they stayed there! Why the heck did they come down to earth and make all our lives to miserable? Look at what the likes of Hitler and Osama did to us! But forget about them...I am not too much into history and political stuff so won't be bothering you with the Facts and Figures. It's just the other not-so-famous but equally obnoxious guys (Ouch! Did that hurt?? You were warned buddy!) that I'll be talking about in here. Read on...if, you've made it so far..!!

The 10 Things that I hate about you.

1. I hate the way you think of yourselves as superior beings! You maybe taller, stronger, sharper than us; but that doesn't mean you're superior!! We are your equals, if not better!! (what say my dear sisters and girlfriends??)

2. I hate the way you pretend to be able to make it without us. You really need us around, be a man (!) and admit it!

3. I hate the way you feel that we are delicate darlings and that we need to be taken care of! We are better off without you! We don't need you to protect us. We can do it for ourselves, so don't bother!

4. I hate your stinking thought process - She's single, she's 23, she's working and she's good looking too! Then, why is she still single?? Buddy, we love our single-hood and don't wanna lose it to a loser like you! My folks don't care - why do you, huh?? So you can wag your tails elsewhere! Not here and atleast not with me!!

5. I hate the way you misunderstand our kindness, sweetness and gentleness (what to do - God made us that way!) But just because we are good, sweet and polite to you; doesn't mean we're truly-deeply-madly in love with you!! We're good to everyone, not just to you!! You are just an appendage we could do without!

6. I hate the way you think that you are a dude and that you've got everything a girl ever wants! Duh!! Get over this feeling and wake up to reality - you are a dud actually!!

7. I hate that hassi toh phassi thing that you keep throwing around!! We laugh 'coz we love to and that has nothing to do with your sense of humor (or rather the lack of it!).

8. I hate the way you call us sisters and then flirt with us!! I hate all flirts actually!!! But if you're flirting with your sis - you're sick buddy!!! Take it from me!

9. I hate when you lie; can't you be honest for heaven's sake!! Whom are you trying to impress with your ample dishonesty, huh??

10. And finally I hate it when you have this weird feeling that we're smiling thinking of you!! No, we're NOT!! We're smiling 'coz we're thinking of the X-Rated talks that we had with our girlfriends last night. What makes you think we're smiling thinking of a loser like you, duh!!!



I donot know how many guys made it till here. If you did, Congrats!! Now you may go and inflate your deflated ego-balloons!! I'm sure they've suffered a million punctures by now. And for all my girlfriends out there - you've all just had a deja-vu!! And now let's get back to living our lives around these losers!! What to do, we have no other way, do we?? Holler sisters!!!

Love ya!!! :)

Epiphany

Tweet

Turned 23 recently, and yet I feel that there is one person I am desperately trying to know and understand. The closer I get to that person; the harder it becomes for me to figure it out. And the more and more deeply am I falling in a love-hate relationship!! Life looks like a series of epiphanies to me now!! But who's complaining??!! 'Coz I am loving it!! After all what's the hurry?? I've got as long as forever with me!!

Now, before you frame a picture of a Prince Charming from Far - Far Land riding on his snow white-white horse coming to me and rescuing me with true love's first kiss from a tall-tall castle guarded by gnomes-and-what not; lemme tell you that the person I wanna get skin deep with is none other than me!! Duh!! I know, I know you were expecting me to spill out a love story in here, but hey what's the hurry, huh?? Love stories can wait!! Loving me can't!!

Do I sound like a narcissist?? Well, I guess loving oneself isn't a crime no?? And I guess I am pretty much modest, so no chance of a "I Rock" brigade in here! So, you could stay on and read more, 'coz I pretty much dislike narcissists too, I know what they do and so I won't be torturing you with "I, Me, Myself" remarks!!

Hmmm, well getting knowing me or shall I say trying to know me, hasn't been easy; so much that I feel bad that I haven't be able to figure me out! After all, I have been with me for the longest time now! But hey! It was, and is an amazing experience - to see me blossom into what I am and what I am not. Where ever I go and whom ever I meet, they always say, "Jincy, you are one of a kind. We'll never meet another antique piece as you!!" I just smile and tell them, "Join the club, buddy!!" I so totally agree with them! There is just one me! I know it sounds so cliche-d! But, if you do know me; you'll get an idea of what I am saying. And for those who don't know me that well; donot get into the "Is she an enigma??" kinda trail!! Just pull in your sails; and sit back!

Knowing me hasn't been easy on me; I wonder how easy will it be on you. One day I am best friends with me, and on the others- A Perfect Stranger! I love myself though - inspite of all the times that I am bad and rude, and the stupid things that I say and do, the goofballs that I keep throwing around everywhere and anywhere, and how I somehow always manage to make a complete fool (popat) of myself. I really, really wonder how I manage this feat! Someone please help me!! These are the times that I wanna run away, run away from me! As if that's possible ever!! But never say never yet..'coz you never know where science may take you!! The likes of me are desperately waiting in line! Science, you listening??!! But I guess, I better accept me as I am; and rather love myself more and more for the other good and not so embarrassing things that I am and I could be!!

Oooh!!! It's getting mushy in here!! With so much of loving flowing, from Me to Myself!! Well, what are the good things that I could tell you, huh?? I just can't seem to be able to do it...you know...I mean how could I say goody-goody stuff about me?? Huh! I wonder how they (read narcissists) do it. Would like to enroll with them someday!! Anyway, forgetting the forgettables and getting to me; well, since I am still doing me and since I haven't done me yet, I wouldn't be able to tell you much. But one thing I am pretty sure of...

That wherever I go, whatever I do; people are always gonna love me, all of them will have atleast one good thing to tell about me. They will always wear a smile whenever they'll think of me. And on my grave, they will again encore, "Jincy, you were one of a kind. We never met another antique piece as you!!" and then maybe add another line, "Jincy, we love you and we will miss you!" Sadly enough, I won't be there to hear it though! But there is one thing that I could surely do - Live a life that would make it hard for people to forget me, and always remember me in a good and a positive way. I believe I am on the right track so far, should I stumble and fall, I know that there would be people (read friends) to give me a hand and take me home and remind me of my goal. You will be there na?? 'Coz I am counting on you friend...

Stay Precious and God Bless!

The Charlie's Angels!!! :)

Tweet

No, this isn't about the Cameron Diaz - Drew Barrymore - Lucy Liu movie...this is about the real life Angels...no time for fantasy figures and movie stuff in here!!! And for the matter of fact, I haven't even seen the movie yet!! So, please excuse me!!

Hmmm, I always felt that the older you get, the lesser friends (read good friends) you make; but I guess I am wrong. The Charlie's Angels that I am talking about, are - Chits, Rams and Me that make great pals at the workplace. We're always seen and heard together, as if joined at the hip!! And before you wanna know more - lemme tell you one thing - yes, there's no Charlie - just the Angels, 'coz we don't need any Charlie!!! Why have the guys (aka losers), when girls can have all the fun!!

Hmmmm, now forgetting the guys forever and getting to the Angels, let me take you to Chits - Hmmm, she's loud; she's clear; she's got this "foot in the mouth" syndrome most of the times; even when she's in her softest voice, it sounds like a thud!!! I hope she isn't reading this!!! But however or whatever she is, I zimply love this girl!! We are complete contrasts in every sense...she's fat, I'm thin; she's loud, I'm soft; she's smart, I'm stupid (yes, I am!); she's workaholic, I'm a lazy bum; she's bad (!), I'm good (not wrong to praise oneself, no?); and yet we're great pals!!! One thing in common though is that we both are stone deaf; and that we love each other dearly, no Chits??? Please say yes baby!!!

Now coming to Rams, hmmmm...before I met this Angel, I was under the "Am I the sweetest girl on earth or what!!??!!" thing going on, but one meeting with this girl and I am like "Wow!! There are people sweeter that me!!! So not fair!!" That's Rams for you!!! She is so god-damn sweet that ugghh!!! what do I tell you!!! Getting to meet her and be with her, is like getting in touch with the kid in me once again...waving at aeroplanes zooming past in the sky, wishing and hoping that I would see it once again...getting wet in the rain...cracking silly and dumb jokes and just laughing my ass out...and then wanting to pee 'coz I've laughed so much!!! Thanks Rams, love you sweetie!!!

Hmmm...coming to me...well I leave that to you, you go figure out me...what's the hurry boss!!!

Being and meeting these girls has been one of the good things that's happened to me lately. We laugh-eat-walk-sob-fight-bitch-run-wave-sing-do everything else- together!!! It is as if I have got to be a child once again...splashing around in the rain; me walking barefoot all the way till the railway station one rain soaked November evening; missing trains on purpose so that we could laugh a little more, a little longer; and then cussing 'coz the next train is only after 20 minutes!! but smiling inside 'coz I get to be with my girlfriends a little bit longer...I'm pretty sure that these are the days that I'm gonna treasure for a real long, long time...that's what it feels like to be one of the Charlie's Angels...what say Chits and Rams?? and I know that there's lot more surprises in store for me!!! Bring it on baby!!!

Love you!! :)

Hmmmm...

When I Clicked on "New Post" this time, I had no clue about what should pen down...I was like "Yaar! kya likhu??!!" I mean I have got so many things running around in my head, that threading them into words is like "Urgh!!"
Hmmm...well like always, I am totally clueless and confused about what to share, which shouldn't be surprising 'coz "confused" has always been apt for my middle name, or for that matter my first name too!! Hmmm...why am I so confused? Well, I really dunno!!
I guess it's good to be confused, na?? I mean what's the fun if you always knew "What next??!!" Life would be no doubt easier, but we'd miss out on so much fun!! I mean it's good to scrape your knees and slip in a while before that long race! So what if I don't have any knee cap left?? I am still standing tall!!
Why do we still want to put on our training wheels?? Why are we afraid to take our time to goof up, to fall, to learn, to grow, to wander, to love? Why?? I really wanna know...maybe it's because we're expected to be "purrfect" always...maybe we're so obsessed with who and what we are that we forget that it is okay to look like a fool sometimes, isn't it?? I mean if you can put up a smile on someone's face, even if it makes you feel like a clown...it's good na?? We are so busy maintaining our images that we don't wanna create something new and bold for ourselves...we always wonder "What will they think??" Why do we let so many they's rule our life?? Why can't we rule our own, huh?? Why??
Hmmmm...these are the questions that keep shuffling around in people's heads...sadly they have the answers too...somehow we don't wanna know the answer...I guess I know the answers too...it may just be that I love being blind folded and living this life...it is so much more fun-er and surprising, no?? Hmmm....what say??

We have one life to live, So much to give,
And so much to share.
There is love to be found, just look around,
There's happiness there...!!!

Why Do I Blog??

Tweet

Hmmmm...thinking...wondering...doing all that I can do to figure out why did I start Blogging?? Is it to keep up with the times?? No - 'coz I guess people are doing this since ages!!! I am pretty late actually, it could be because I am a slow learner...

Hmmmm...then why do I blog?? Is it because people are too busy to hear and have a word with me?? No - Thank God!! I have people around me who always wanna hear what I wanna say! So much that they won't even tell me if they are bored!!

Hmmmm...then why do I blog?? Is it to advertise myself?? Oh no!! I could be the shyest (I hope that's a word) person around!!!

Then why do I blog?? Maybe 'coz I get a domain for myself in this virtual world...I get to be "me"...I get to have a monologue, instead of a dialogue...Mind you, monologues are good!! 'coz I get to think...I get to get deeper and deeper and probe into myself...I get to find me...Don't you think?? We keep saying that we are looking for our soul mate...but are we really?? I guess we are just looking for someone to help us understand ourselves better...but I guess we are too proud to admit that...So am I looking to understand and know myself better?? Maybe I am, maybe I am not...I really don't know...

Maybe that's why I blog...to help "me" know "me" better...

Do It Now!

"So tell that someone that you love, just what you're thinking of, If tomorrow never comes..." - Ronan Keating

I believe all of us have been to a funeral at least once. I've been to a couple of them too. It's sad to see that people wait for someone to die to celebrate their life!! I mean I keep hearing lines like "He was a very good man", "She was my role model", "He was the joy of my life" and many other good stuff about someone who's two feet under in the grave! I mean its all a waste, don't you think?? 'Coz they're no more!!

Look at MJ, when he was alive, people spoke so many nasty and ugly things about him, but look what happened after he died...there was a 180° turnaround, suddenly MJ was everyone's favorite, his record sales went up, his fame increased, his respect shot up, people loved him a lot more - a complete contrast of how things were when he was still alive and still there. Who knows, if MJ knew that people really loved him so much, he would have still been around...who knows??!! I guess here's a lesson for all of us to learn - don't wait for a funeral to make you think about the virtues and the good in the people around you, especially your loved ones. If you have something good to say about someone, go ahead, tell that person right now. Hmmm...I'm reminded of a hymn that I learnt as a child...

If you have a kind word to say, say it now.

If you have something to give, give it now.

If you can make someone glad or an other less sad,

Do it now! Do it now!! Do it now!!!

Now before it is too late,

Now's the time for every good deed,

Do not wait until tomorrow,

Cause it maybe just a little too late.

 

Do remember what you just read, okay???
And like my friend says "Stay Precious!!"

Yellow Flower

Tweet

I looked into my garden one day,
And was delighted to see,
A bright yellow flower looking straight at me.
A smile lit up my face.
"What are flowers for?", I wondered,
Who just bloom for a day and then fade away.
That's when I heard a voice that spake,
"Don't they make you happy?"
"Yes", said me and then I asked Him again,
"Why do they then wither away?"
Then with a smile God said,
"They've got to make me happy too,
And so I call them back to me."
"I see", said me and then went to sleep.
And after hours woke up to see,
The world less beautiful.
And that's when I realised,
One beautiful flower had withered away.
From this garden called the "World",
And had left for a bigger and beautifuler garden called "Heaven".
A tear trickled down my face,
But then a smile lit up my visage,
When I realised...
He had left with a purpose,
...Now to bring a smile on God's face.

(I wrote this poem in memory of a friend who passed away in a cruel accident)
