Fairy Lights


"Remember the last time I came to your house ?"

"Yes, the same lights. No, these are new ones. It was ages ago. Christmas I guess."

"No, your birthday."

"Ah ! Birthdays. Who cares about it these days ? "

"Come on, friends do."

With a smirk, she asked, "Really ?" 

I decided to keep quiet. Sofie had this hold on me.

A lot had changed during the twelve years. 


I had left Sofie's world and never intended to return. 

But somehow I re-entered her life.  

Shaking me from my reverie, she asked, "I guess you will leave in a day or two."

I replied, "Yes, tomorrow evening."

"And when will you be back ? "

I had no answer to her question. She smiled slyly and drifted, "You remind me of him. He had no answer to most of my questions."

"I am sorry, Sofie", I blurted. 


"Please don't be. He is not dead." The standard Sofie-answer. 

She continued,"You should go and find someone.Its almost time. "

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

YOU....

Sometimes I yearn for you, Wish you could comfort me When I’m down, caress me When tired. I look for you everywhere- All I see is evil. Hands to kill my innocence. Eyes that cut deep into my soul. I cry. Bitterly. Hoping against hope I’ll Discover you someday. Place my head on your bosom And weep out my sorrows. I die a million deaths In my quest for you. Dreaming lazily about our Enamouring encounters, Amidst peace and plenty. Bestowing each other with love- Unheard and unseen ever. The romance ends one day, I lose you to the world. Again its solitude for me. I look for someone else like you And the longing never ends. I realize the elusive truth In my last breath. I should have looked within me. You are within me. In my imagination. So pure, so dazzling that The Maker dared not infuse You in the real world. He knew you would be Tarnished, scathed by vice. You are a dear part of my life, Very much within me. All of us are the enchanted Musk deer. PIC COURTESY:Google
