Straight from my heart...

Love has no end!! He lay comatose, his death imminent, Blurred senses, dysfunctional organs, tissues irrelevant, Weary and pale he looked physically, But never had I seen him happier, emotionally, His face had the glow of a bride, And his eyes, with its greenish tinge, tried, To articulate his thoughts to the person sitting beside, Resting her head on his chest, feeling mortified, Theirs was a powerfully moving love story, Like the ones narrated in novels and many a movie, And after many hardships, discomfort and pain, Their togetherness had given them a reason to smile again, For thirty-seven years, they had been with each other, Childless, penniless, but content with what life did offer, A genteel soul was he, honest and selflessly caring, And she complemented him perfectly, her support, unwavering, And as he lay comatose, his death imminent, She's pleading to God, her prayers persistent, Only a miracle could save him now, Doctors had repeated, But her

Soul mates!! [ I wanted to write a poem on Soul mates, ever since I read BRIDA by Paulo Coelho. My description though  is entirely personal ] In life,one day you meet someone, Who more than yourself, you trust, One you perpetually count on, and, In whose hands, your life you safely entrust, In life, one day you meet someone, Whose every thought revolves around you, Who prays for your wellbeing every moment, Adding luck, love and positive vibes, in whatever you do, In life, one day you meet someone, Who starts residing in your every single breath, One you surrender yourself completely to, And vow to take care of, unto your death, Soul mates care about each other infinite, Living for each other, fulfilling each other’s dreams, At times, those unspoken, unshared, undocumented, Yet perfectly understood by the other, it so seems, Soul mates create magic every time they meet, Memories that remain etched in minds forever, And like the angels, like the shadows, Th

6 th April 2013, the day I have been waiting for, is just around the corner. What an amazing feeling it would be to be conferred with the Post Graduate Diploma in Management from IIM Indore! These two years had its share of ups and downs. But when I look back at them in totality, I am elated to see that the journey turned out to be much better than what I had expected when it all began. Philosophically speaking, things do fall in place in the end. A few days back, I had the privilege of experiencing the convocation ceremony of one of my closest friends, at XLRI Jamshedpur. Incidentally, he was my study partner during the pre-CAT days and I spent most of the latter half of 2010 with him. I still vividly remember those days, trying to get more than the other in AIMCATs, solving quant sitting in the last row in class while the hapless Professor attempted to teach VLSI, exchanging notes and giving each other valuable advice to bell the CAT. So much that even God didn’t want an

Sentimental Musings!! Goodbyes are never easy, never done happily, And the hope of reunion makes them bearable, But the thought of not seeing you almost daily, It makes me realize; I’ll miss you a lot, In just a few months, you managed to touch my heart, So easily could I share my deepest inhibitions with you, And as the time comes for us to part, Our long, random conversations keep running in my head, I feel lucky to have you as my close friend, Someone I could count on, in times of need, One I know, will be there, till the end, A person who is both my mirror and an inspiration, In the months gone by, we had really awesome moments, You were responsible for much of my smile, Your immature, yet innocently cute arguments, I’ll remember always, for they give me joy and solace, You are one of the sweetest people I met here, I admire your caring and trustworthy nature a lot, That’s what makes you so awesome dear, And I’ll miss your optimi

Reminiscence!! Dedicated to Indian Institute of Management Indore & all the friends I made here!!! Indeed, love it was, at first sight, With the serenity, the grandeur, As I entered the hallowed portal, on a July night, With big ambitions, with great hopes, Along the way, fortunate I was, to have many highs, Albeit a few lows, now completely forgotten, And as we reach a stage of Goodbyes, Gripped with nostalgia, here I sit, reminiscing, This is a place that shaped my personality, A place which gave me amazing friends, Bonds, sure I am, which will last till eternity, A place I talk about with affection and pride, How can I forget the midnight birthday celebrations, Or the hours spent chatting in night mess, Or the countless parties on smallest of occasions, It’s indeed been a memorable journey, How can I forget the last minute preparations, And in the last term, not even that, How can I not remember the futile GLOBING in exami
