Just Be Beautiful !!!

Why is the moon so beautiful?

It was a drive back home with some soft music cajoling my heart
Suddenly I caught the glimpse of the beautiful moon traveling with me
A tiny voice asked me….” Why is the moon always so beautiful?”
I pulled the car to the side of the highway and switched on the parking lights
A lonely road, a well-lit sky and a question in my mind
Lazily I leaned onto the bonnet of the car and looked up……
I was speechless, hypnotized by her radiance
I could sense her smiling at me…I could sense her pride!

What is it?
First I thought, it might be the perfect shape
Then I thought……..Well, what’s the perfect shape??
Round or crescent……she has always outshone herself
And when she isn’t there……we often look up to the sky and ask
“Where is the Moon?”
She is missed……no matter how busy we are!!

I looked at her again…
I wished I could ask her ……I wished I could just go to her and talk
My heart raced with the wish…..I think I found my answer
I stared at her in dis-belief…amazed by the secret to her beauty

What if I could have really driven down to her??
What if Moon was the next station to where I was?
What if I could have just walked in to its world…..
Anytime I wanted or I needed

Four hundred thousand kilometers away..!!
That’s what makes her uniquely beautiful

The distance…..makes her desirable
The distance have transformed the craters into the perfect imperfections
The distance preserved her secrets of billions of years
And she remained the timeless beauty forever!

I realized…..it’s the same for us too

The thirst to kiss is more powerful than being kissed
The desire for someone is more beautiful than owning someone
The dream is always more soulful than the reality
A story unfinished is more hopeful than a closed chapter

As I entered the door and started the engine
I smiled at the moon and thanked her for sharing her secret :)
To stay beautiful and desired
You need to know the “Perfect distance” to be at
Not too close to be ignored…..Not too far to be forgotten!!

I am YOU ....

I loved Cinderella, the day I saw her for the first time. I can’t remember my age though, but I remember the cover of the book. The beautiful gown…pretty eyes and definitely the most appealing shoe I have ever seen after that. I read the story countless times. I loved Cinderella because she taught me to ‘Hope.’ Hope that one fine day I would live happily ever after! Back then, life was so simple and classified. Classified into black and white, classified into good and bad.  It was mostly about praying and playing  smile emoticon I changed my ambition almost every day. I often wanted to be a nun but sometimes I wanted to be an actress or a model as well. I also remember about imagining how I would look dressed up like a lawyer. By the time I could figure out what I wanted I was grown up. Ask me now, I am still not sure. May be a writer someday or maybe I want to dance once like never before. In one line……..I don’t know what I would do tomorrow!! But ask me about ‘To...

Yeh Laal rang kab mujhe chhodega......

Realizing with just one day left in joining my new job has suddenly put me in retrospective mood. Last few months that were nothing less than a decade is reason enough to stop for a moment take cognizance of what my journey been through and what the road ahead looks like. Blame, such thoughts on lack of all socializing activities over those months, you may, but the fact remains the same that these few months have been one those eventful period of my life that has carved a different dimension in my personality. I met Mr. Red little more than three years back, winters were knocking at the door, I had all the reasons to fall  for him. His personality, charm, charisma could not let me avoid him and I said "Yes" , my fairytale took off. I was a Cinderella who had never faced the shattering reality at midnight... The dream continued. While I untangled myself from the previous engagement, I had built a castle of dreams and hope with this new entrant in my life. I was on clou...
