Meeting a boy


 

I ask mom can I go out with him, she says no in blocks caps and everything to make it loud enough
So that I don't try to convince her
I ask mom if I can go out with her
As first like always she says no, but after 2 or 3 attempts 
She is fine with the plan 
I wonder what is the difference

May be she thinks 
The she I would be hanging out with
Won't hug me
Or kiss me
Or put her arms around my waist 
Or on the shoulders
Or come close enough to increase my heart beat
Or hold my hands and walk around
Or bring me flowers and chocolates and gifts
Or take me on a dinner date 
Or for lunch
Or for a date just with a cup of tea and lots of eye to eye talking and so much of silence 
But we will be together all this while

But aren't there chance of me falling for a girl

But aren't there chance of the boy not liking me and just coming to say hi and a bye 
And everything in between it will be about the job and family we both are living with in those four walls with a door and a window but no space for the air to reach our lungs
But aren't there chance that I might even escape with the girl  to far away land 
And we both will build houses where a yes and a no frame against each other and breathe in the oxygen in our four walls
She would be my neighbour so we can sneak every next second into eachothers halls if needed 
But still she just says no for the word boy

Does she know I have said I love you to three 2 girls a thousand times in my head and a few in the messages that we exchange
Does she know I have built a house in future with a boy whom I don't know enough to let them meet
Does she know every night I visit him just to say good night
Does she know every night I tell the girls I miss them 
Does she know even when I smile with her for arrange marriages I still adore love marriage

For the temporary moments that they bring in our lives 
To live the permanent hide and seek of blue days of the future 

But still she says no for meeting a boy

That notification

When I received your message today  I was on my way to office, I smiled to your text but missed to reply Today when my phone buzzed with you name with a message underneath  I peeped at it and missed to reply, again! The other day when I received your message, I was out with a friend so I kept it on unread to reply later But I slept  And days followed  Your name kept shining everyday I kept going without replying to them on time or even not But you stayed  So the other day when I didn’t see your name in the notification bar  I missed you, only to realise I missed to live the moment of the words that you shared  The moments you remembered and I failed to live it again because I was just lost  While you stood on the door  I was just wondering here and there  Ignorant of the fact that the sun will set and it will be night soon You will close the doors  To sleep with moon outside the window

Normal problems please !

  I miss the normal problems I miss mom scolding me for being late from work I miss being stuck in traffic when out for office I miss being out with my friend and then planning another outing I miss the gossips at the coffee shops I miss the crowd at McDonald's I miss waiting for my chance in the queue of burger King I miss seeing the teenage girls in sarees for farewell in college waiting the bus and the train I miss seeing the boys trying to fix the loose tie standing by their crush I miss seeing dad care free about us being out of home I miss the normal problems The news of people dying is suffocating The news of all the chance for this virus vanishing is nowhere They talk of precautions  Now each day seems a achivement Now each but of oxygen seems a reward Now washing hands seems the only hygienic essential Now being around your loved once seems so terrifying You can't touch them  You can't hug them You can't even wipe their fear tears You can just stand their prayi...

Fears, are real!

All the fears are real People falling  While walking While dancing While just standing still While looking at someone Failing In the exams With the expectations  Of yours  And your loved once And the strangers Growing In love Out of love Getting old With lessons With scars With open wounds  Being stuck On page for hours and weeks In life for years and years With people till the end In thoughts of your own and the others too. With a blank full of ink but still not working Many others like People giving up on you People not fighting for you You not able to find the old you You missing yourself  While you stand before the mirror With blank thoughts Like standing in a room  On your own shadow Everyday at certain hour of the day All that you fear is happening is someday We just need to breathe through it Crying, yelling, laughing or just sitting through it Or just walking past it.
