The Closure!

Hey,
The theatre  has opened.
Here begins the finale.
The dessert of the grand reception has arrived.
The minister of closure arrives with
the good wine kept unserved.
Here comes December, the final play.
Contemplate everything you have done throughout the year. Compensate.
You have 31 days before you.
Breathe in some good air.
Meet people before they hibernate.
Complete the procrastinated things.
Fill in the year's resolutions.
Grind all bad things and flush it off.
Read out some warm stories to children.
Feel the baby snowflakes on the ground.
Be grateful.Smile.
Carol is out there, sing and dance.
Hang your stockings.
Give warm hugs.
Love and forgive.
Run and slow down.
Cry and laugh.
Fall and rise.
Lose and gain.
Wind and unwind.
Act and live.
Pick and unpick.
Grow and learn.
Let the bells jingle.
Reindeers are waiting.
Pack and be ready.
The minister of closure is about to curtain down the twelfth play.
And your journey is about to begin.
And when it's the resolution day,
undress the costumes and get into the sleigh.
Go for a ride till your next role.
And yes,then I will bid you adieu until the curtain rises for the next play!

Tu Koi Aur Hai

The characters of Imtiaz Ali are always difficult to decipher and can only be done if the actors do complete justice to it. And two such celebrated characters of Imtiaz Ali are Ved and Tara of Tamasha . Meeting Ved in Corsica was accidental to Tara. Both of them came there to be alone and enjoy some time away from their busy life. But what destiny had for them was different. But for Tara, what happened in Corsica didn't just stay at Corsica. What attracted Tara towards Ved was his coolness and the quirkiness which ultimately made her fall in love with him and break up with her boyfriend. She continued to pamper the memories at Corsica even without knowing Ved or his name. But meeting Ved which she longed for four years and being his girlfriend was not what Tara wanted. Tara fell in love with the Ved whom she met at Corsica not the Ved at Delhi. But it was all difficult for the Ved who is actually battling bipolar disorder to accept his reality. Ved wanted to live the life that he d...

Disappearance

  It's funny to think of people who disappear,  They disappear into nothingness Without a warning Without leaving a sign.  I wonder what ponders in their mind During the moments before the disappearance.  They would think of coming back,  Maybe not.  Would they go with a proper plan Or place or a specific medium to travel?  They would probably go for minimalism,  For it would lessen the burden,  the burden of all worldly pleasures The burden of all relationships.  Maybe they would survive,  The disappearance period.  Or they will disintegrate and  Dissolve into seasons.  Or they will be transported to another universe,  Where all seasons come together And day and night  Come simultaneously.  They would experience a new sense of freedom,  Freedom from the monotonous life,  From the caricatures of commoners,  And the ties of restrictions,  From the questionable ways,  Inspiring th...

Promise

  She promised me she would wait at the other side,  Convinced me they won't touch her,  Because she is one of them.  But on the other side, I cannot find her,  Except for the ring that lies, dipped in soil.  We came all this way, for the ring,  How irrelevant has our love turned out to be for her people?  She said it was the ring she saved for me,  And made it for me, the day she came out,  As eternal love served by the lines on the ring, She has become my eternal anguish.  I search for her everywhere,  Even her people, who think I have bewitched her,  Acts indifferent, the ones who saw her for the last time.  I know you have made her disappear to a realm,  Where I cannot bewitch her.  But I cannot offer you that promise.  I have lost track of time,  She was always the courageous one,  To stand beside me,  And assured me fight in this war together,  But she left my hand,  To fi...
