 It's been years, and maybe you've buried my memories by now

It's been years and maybe we've forgotten our ways to each other

And since it's been years, and we are miles apart 

I know for sure, how much you meant to me 

How much I cherished you 

How much you lit my world up 

And now since it's been years, I can see you clearer 

There's no fog in the sky, there's no pull backs in my head

Now since it's been years, I know for sure how much you meant to me

Maybe I, to you

It stays this way 

Because since it's been years and maybe you have forgotten me by now

I know for sure that yours were the first touch of love 

That made me feel life's worth it, despite everything

Just to know how beautiful love can make you feel.

And although we are miles apart, I go back to it quite unconsciously, time and again

Without having even the slightest hope that you remember me

How you made me feel stays

It stays 

This way, till the end

As an Actor

As an actor  You play roles Everyday You play roles for the audience  Doctor, fisherman, teacher, pilot Child, friend, sibling, neighbour  You read the dialogues You try to understand the words to the best of your ability  Interpret the sounds, the stage, the light, the wit  You question yourself if you are interpreting it right, You take time -  You go back to playing roles, some you like, some you don’t  While being in one character, you miss playing the other Sometimes you try to swipe roles  Sometimes you break characters  Perhaps because you don't like this one, or just plain because you're tired Sometimes the audience don't clap in which you think is your best shot Sometimes they mistake you for being the role that you play. The play ends  The curtain falls You take back some characters  You leave some in the theatre You imitate some, and you detest some  Yet you love to play them You find peace in knowing how different personalities you can master   The play ends  Yo

The Morning Tea

This morning I chose to have coffee over tea. These choices, whether to drink coffee or tea, to take the metro or Uber to office, give me immense joy, and a hint of contentment. Having some, albeit very little, control over certain things that I do that bring great happiness to me is gratifying. I no longer have to drink milk and bread in breakfast out of compulsion or remember to call someone if I'll be coming home late.  In a new city which has its own aura of clusters and glories, achieving these small joys, and to be able to make the choices are a tremendous source of mental comfort. I have never truly had a home, so for me, home became an idea, a comfortable state of mind.  Choosing coffee over tea, gives me that comfort, the luxury, which perhaps I might just start calling home.

Yesterday's rain had successfully made small pools on the roads. I walked consciously because I had to save my clothes from getting spoiled from the splashes of the dirty water which the vehicle on streets throw, voluntarily and involuntarily.  I carried an umbrella and held it in front of me. The kids who studied in local schools have started dispersing from their homes. We share the same institutional time. As I stood for the bus, two kids of 6-7 year old purposely jumped on the water and spoiled their dresses. I was not allowed to enter school premises with dirty clothes and in college, it creates an inferior image to the people. I was afraid of that. Soon, some more kids joined them. They laughed and shouted as they jumped on the water and the cars helped them in spoiling their dresses. I looked at my superior clean clothes. I didn't laugh. I didn't jump. I didn't smile. I didn't shout. Sudeepa thamma,  one of my neighbors watched me from her balcony. She alw
