Differently



I want to see
Perhaps a bird? But not when it flies
I want to see how it sleeps
Does it rest like us with closed eyes?

I want to talk
Not with those who hear but don't listen
I want to narrate my story to my pet
Because the dumb only pay attention

I want to trek that hill
Not to claim it's formidable peak
I just want to see what lays in its path
It's the beauty of Nature I seek

I want to enjoy a meal
Not when it's lavish, free or just the regular
Not even when it's cooked with love of my mother
For once I want the taste of starvation and hunger

I want to make friends
Not only those with whom I can enjoy or relax
I want to stand by the one who is lonely and bullied
I want him to smile when laugh at his wisecracks

I want to sing and dance
Not for others on a stage or at any party
Not on a schedule, just anytime and anywhere
When I am reminded of things that make me happy

I want to play
Not with anyone's life or emotions
Why lie and deceive in adult life?
When I was once a playful child, full of innocence?

I want to win
Not all the accolades or any self-set goals
No, neither can I fulfill everyone's expectations
But I do want to win their hearts and souls

I want to dream
Not of success or fame in daydreams
Oh! I just want a happy day of hard work
And a sound sleep full of sweet dreams

I want to save the world
From man and all that he made
Because Mother Nature comes first
Oh! But for helping man what a price She paid!

And so I want to do things differently
You may ridicule, mock or hurt me too
But you've got to realize that I am different from you!

The Night Shift Unheard Of

Image
I and my mate scurried through the empty hall. The light rustling of leaves and continuous chirping of the cricket were the only sounds that reverberated. No one was present. It was finally our time to take control of the night. The whole day the hustle and bustle of the men had made the place inaccessible to us. Tonight when finally the last person left the room, the lights turned off. This was our cue. The moon was kind to light our way. It was time for revenge. We didn’t have any particular grudge against the people of this company. We used to live in harmony with them. We made ourselves inconspicuous to make them feel comfortable. We never disturbed them when they were busy working. We even worked the night shifts, to keep the place bustling as they probably wanted. I always wondered if the work we did was appreciated or not. There was always this nagging doubt whether they even acknowledged our presence. But nevertheless, we kept working to our best. Every night our s

ELECTRONIC LOVE

Once upon a time in the land of Electronics, there lived a young woman called Resistor. She was jovial, amiable and the apple of everyone’s eyes. A just and fair person, she resisted all worldly temptations, leading a plain life.  She had no family except the Wires, who proclaimed to be her distant cousins. She had some doubts about it, but well, she loved them nevertheless. Like all young girls of her age, she was blossoming in her youth and was madly in love with her beloved-charming and magnetic Inductor.  She got introduced to Inductor who was this shy, weird and twisted friend of the Wires but surprisingly they hit it off like two peas in a pod! It was the best thing that ever happened to her. They complemented each other so well; people of Electronics even believed Inductor would wrap his coiled arms around her pointy figure, something that only a true lover would do! The people of Electronics had a simple livelihood and shared everything with each other. Every day they

Tears Lost In The Rain

Image
                                                                              On a rainy day she was walking all alone. It was raining hard but she had no umbrella. The raindrops fell sharply on her bare skin, piercing and cold. The thin cotton dress that clung to her wet body was just not enough to stop the shivering. She was certainly shivering from the cold…or was she?? The tears that flowed down her cheeks were lost after mingling with the rain on her face. She shivered again as the memory came back to her in a flash. It happened not too long ago….two months back or was it just yesterday? She had already lost track of time. She hardly remembered anything other than the incident itself. She remembered that the rains had just begun after the hot sultry summers. It was raining hard that day too. But that time she had her umbrella and someone to share it with. She could distinctly remember that rough sturdy yet handsome face and the look in his eyes as he gazed at her lovin
