REUNION 2009

Reunions are always special,be it of persons or ideas.It’s a new beginning and reliving the pledges one took in the past. It’s a special time of the year and it was our school reunion today.
The 2004 ICSE batch of Montfort’s.Well,it was the first reunion we ever had after graduating from the school.A gap of nearly five years.

I traveled 80 kms by road to make it there.It was wonderful to re-live those school moments,cherished and entombed in the heart of every student. Those who couldn’t make it called up and we talked. It was more than a party-I was in my alma mater after 5 long years.Not much has changed except one thing. The saplings that we had planted have transformed into lush trees,standing in exuberance and style-seeming to tell us-See we’ve grown up,you are getting older. There was a friendly atmosphere and we all turned kids for sometime. So many of us used to quarrel over petty issues and over time,they were termed as “ego clashes”.But after so many years,there was none of it-it was only warmth of long lost ties. It was difficult to recognize many but a spirit of companionship and togetherness could be seen in all eyes.

There was food,music,fun and more. It was nice time for all of us and for me too- It was beautiful memories revisited.

Words fail me now ,but it was a memory I would recall in the darkest hours of my life and dispel all of it by a flicker of my smile.


DEDICATION: To my dear batchmates of Montfort (ICSE 2004)

Reunion - A chance when we get to be young again. A chance to return to the place which has not changed and to see how we have changed over the period.

Wishing you a happy new year. :)

ILLUSIONS OF REALITY...

The more you point out my mistakes, The more you are drawn towards me. The more you try to hurt me, The more you bleed in your heart. The more you run away from me, The more my memories haunt you. The more you want to forget me, The more you are reminded of my presence. The more you want to chase me away, The closer I come to you. The more you hate me, The more you end up loving me. The more you call me an “illusion” The more I dawn as the reality of your life….

A C R O S T I C

A s I was walking , C hoosing the hues of life, R ainclouds made an appearance O n the sunny sky above.

CONFESSION OF A WOMAN...

When I'm born,I'm jeered at.When I'm a child,I'm made to believe that my reason for existence is somebody else.While I'm growing up,I'm discouraged to question.My brain and heart are numbed.I cannot die too,since it will bring infamity to my family.People would say,"At this age,what could have forced her to terminate herself ? She failed to materialize her fantasy.Such bad morals." I fast for the well-being of my father and brothers.When I outgrow my frocks,I'm let off to another household.There, I work for others, without pay.I have children but they treat me like a door-mat.Here too,I fast for my husband's and childrens' long,peaceful life.When the man of the house,who happens to be my "husband" dies,I shed a part of my soul.I have no right to live then,I just breathe and sit in a corner.Rest of my life is spent in praying-for death.They say, "Woman needs a man.In childhood,its father.In youth,its husband and in old age,i...
