Brief Encounter

One fine day,
Leaving for work,I opened my door
Twenty-one things clouding my thoughts
Listless,my eyes land on you
Wide-eyed i stop,the clock didnt tick for me
In that halted moment I heard my heart pound as we gazed on..
My keys slipped and the world was noisy again!

I began to sense a change in the apparent unchangeables,
We kept meeting,growing fond of our company.
I realised you were seeping deep into my life without me noticing all this while!
And then i feared; the fear of loosing you!
As I knew you were not meant to be forever
But still i clung onto you as a foolish dreamer!

With it my days passed
Alas! You left and the painful tears gushed
It sunk my heart,I was living my fear!
I didn't notice even the remarkables around,
Dull it all seemed,devoid of feelings I was running from me!

Yet another morning,
Time to go to work, a withered me locking the door, the keys fell again,

And opened an old school of thoughts,

Which me myself was oblivious of,
Lying somewhere within me.

I see it clear,
The layers of confusion and pangs disappeared somehow!
A beaming me, I walk alive now!

brothers b'day

my bro Tatai's 19th b'day was celebrated on a small scale this year. Just my aunt-uncle:left in the pic, and us 5 people[as he,an engineering student, had his 2nd sem starting a few days from 31st May.]

During school life we used to have our summer vacs in May and over the years his b'day sort of became the day of the annual [ol' friends,cousins,uncles-aunts,family friends] get together party!The last 2/3 times we had it shifted on the roof from the rooms in an attempt to be relieved from the sticky Kolkata summers by the night breeze!
This time we all missed having the reunion. But after both of ours college annuals were over,some of us old buddies went out for lunch and had great fun! (one is being carried in arms as u have seen : P!)

Most of us have been friends from childhood and we are in the beginning steps of different careers;we lead different lifestyle and we have our varying likes/dislikes but growing up with them as kids and still being in touch in some way or the other feels good! But the credit for most of our hangout plans goes to my brother dearie. He always says " we have spent quality years of our childhood with them.. we should always keep in touch", when i'm not so interested in his plans! I have started realising his point of view now. In our case this friendship is not limited to us only, our families are also bonded!Its rare to get good friends these days. And to get a friend u gotta be a friend first. We too had our misunderstandings but still we have survived so far and hope to continue.
