The dance and the glance ....

I was on my own...
Turned around on my toes..
And landed on my heels 
Suddenly he caught my hands..and swirled me

Fingers clasped 
I rolled out and rolled in...
And then with a mighty grace..
He swayed me down
In that flash of light I saw a glance of him
Tall in that crowd...He looked down and smiled
Chin up and hair down
I threw my hands around his neck
I felt a grip strong on my hips
 Strong to lift me high up...
And as I came down...
For the first time my eyes met his eyes

We danced like a dream
A dream that I never dreamt before 
In the arms of the unknown 
There was nothing to loose..
Nothing to gain

And then when the clock struck twelve
The spell was about to end
I took one last turn...
And kissed him on his cheeks
" I have to go" is the ...
first and the last thing I ever told him
Ran down through the crowd..wore my slippers and reached the car..

As I sat holding my breath...
I wished I left a high heel 
For him to find me...
I wished I asked the country he travelled from
For me to hope to search
But then I smiled. .  
Not all Cindrealls are to be found
Some of them are to be lost..
In a fairy tale that no one has ever read 

A fairy tale of her own...!!

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...
