2010... A rollercoaster ride

Each year we make resolutions...
promises to self we make to keep
None of those manage...
somehow this year I managed...
not all the way but slight.

I had a promise made to myself...
to let the past go...
I did.

I promised myself to have...
a friend for life...
Realised I do.

I found it fun to keep this one...
a promise to smile a ton...
Thanks to u I  do.

A resolution to do...
my heart's desire...
I did.

But all this I've managed to do, not by myself...
I had a little help from my Friends...
U do not go un noticed...
U do not go unthanked.

Here's to the list of People who've made it a year to remember for me...
2010...

My one and only - Arun Saklani
The best of the bunch I call my Family
The gr8est pals I cud ask for ever - Van n Meet
For having the faith in me - Fauji
For bringing a smile my way always - GD, John, Nikhil, Negi, Achin, Kaus, Tom and Sid
For the wonderful Om - Daffy & Arun
My friend philosoper and guide... U made work seem so much fun - Mrig
A boy I saw growing up and married to my lil sister - Shaan I owe u big time
A kid I refuse to let growup - Ship
A friend or should I say 2 who were there through the worst of time for me - Shree Chethan

The list is too long to put it down but a note of thanks to each... for making the year what it has been for me...
One hell of a rollercoaster ride... Trust me when I say this... I Smile.

Being an Army Brat!

Walking down memory lane, looking at pictures from the past, I linger on to this one where my dad's in uniform. Somewhere in the east I think or was it up north. I wonder. The only thing I remember for sure is his reaction to every time I called from law school. "Is everything ok? It's not weekend already is it? " I'd smile a teary eyed smile and say "naah it's Tuesday and I just thought I'd say HI!" I bet he smiled. I could hear it in his voice.

Drunken conversations - A moment in time

Winters brought along thick cover of fog that had just started to roll in. Law school didn’t give her as many sleepless nights as the two boys in her life did.  It was  2:30 am  by her watch and the persistent beep of a call waiting made her take note of the name on the screen. ‘Damn!’ She thought to herself, it was probably the fourth time this month she’d have to tell her boy that she needed to take the other call and he was definitely going to be mad at her this time. It had to be done. She made her excuse and switched the line. “Hello!”she said a little anxiously, but before she could say anything else, the drunk voice from the other end shouted joyously “Baby, I got a job, I got placed”. And she smiled. He’d called up her other number an hour ago and said the same thing over and over again till her Mother replied...”Congratulations! She’s in college son.” He then spent the next ten minutes apologising for calling in the middle of the night. But did it stop ...

Reflections!

She took a moment to stop fidgeting and looked at the reflection.  What she saw amazed her and yet she found it hard to recognize.  The childlike smile and kind eyes that stared back at her quizzically. What had changed? Why was there emptiness where once there was pure joy?   She smiled a wary smile, looked deeper into those eyes that were once kind. Only to find a shallow pool of tears welling inside. And as she turned around to leave she heard a faint voice.  A gentle voice that said “let go”. “Let go and come back to being the girl you were always meant to be and not the empty shell I see in front of me now.”
