My Best Friend

Dearest Buddy,

      Don’t raise your eyebrows so, nor stare too long at the cover, it is true that I finally sat and wrote to you. Believe me, when I thought of all the things you’ve done for me, I couldn’t stop myself from writing.

      When I look back at my life, I find that you were there at each twist and turn. If I could adapt to life’s dynamism it is only because of you. I’ve shared so many things with you- my dreams, my aspirations, my thoughts, my ups and downs: In fact, everything that life has offered me till date.

      We have grown together. Each and every moment that we’ve spent together has become a wonderful memory. Every time I think of you, a smile creeps up on my face, my eyes get dreamy and I live the moments I spent with you all over again. Believe me, if I had to live my life all over again and choose a partner for doing so, I’ll invariably choose you. I really can’t imagine how my life would have been without you.... It would have been so dark!!!    

      I still remember the first time I flunked my exams. Everybody made fun of me but you... you continued to believe in me. You kept saying that we’ll make it big one day- the ‘we’ indicating you and me. When I felt happy, you would jump with joy, when I was sad, you’d feel low. In fact, you still do. You’ve shared your worst fears and dreams with me, making me really feel on top of the world for being your chosen one.

      When I think of epithets for you, all that I can think of is my mirror, my reflection, my biggest strength, my greatest weakness, my cup of joy, my confidence, my counsellor... I know, even they fall short of what you truly mean to me!!!!

      Tell me then, for all that you mean to me, what should I call you? Should I call you buddy or my best friend? My soul mate or heart beats? My lifeline or the light of my life? Or better still, should I call you by the sweetest name in the Earth- “MOTHER”? 

      This is not to thank you for everything you’ve done because ‘thanks’ is too small a word to be said to you. I just want you to know that the million little ways you’ve touched my life and for the greatest valuable gift you have given me (Life itself!!!), I’ll always be there with you, for you.

Take care.

 Love you Ma.

Your best friend,
Me

Grateful For A Moment

Sometimes, we end up getting what we badly need in life. It had been a long time since I took a break from work. Thanks to lockdown and proximity to office, I was one of the chosen few who relentlessly went to work. Days went by, months passed and yet, there I was busy meeting deadlines. Maybe, the fact that I was nearing burnout had reached God. Hence, it resulted in the most favourite moment of this week, a statement that I was to stay at home for 14 days. 14 days of bliss, 14 days of peace, 14 days of self development and relaxation.  For some people such a dictact would imply pain and torture. After all, who wants to leave the rat race and squander 14 previous days! Yet, for people like me (Yes, I know I am not alone!) these 14 days are a welcome break, a diversion from monotony.  So beginning today, it would be my endeavour to express my gratitude using prompts. Hence, based on today's prompt, let me describe... My favourite moment this week has been th

Apart Yet Together

I never knew I'd meet you, And that you'd look beyond my scars, Though we aren't meant to be, Time with you my happiest hours. Its been ages since I've felt this way, You touched corners I never knew, We are in two different worlds, Yet I am glad my world is you. Happy that I met you, We did meet for a reason, You are my earth I am your sky, Our paradise, our horizon. You've given me million reasons, To laugh, blush and smile, I've never felt this happy, You've made my life worthwhile. I could go on writing, Oh! So many things to say, You're etched in my soul, I'm glad we met this way. Its not easy to be us, You are wind and I am fire, But the feelings we have inside, Will cater for every desire. No matter where life takes us, Roads keeping us apart, Though separated by distance, Always connected at heart. Love can fade, hearts can break, But we are shore and the sea, Tog

Loved By A Writer

You are loved by a writer my love, You will remain alive for eons to come, in the hearts of lovers. You will be a beacon for those who wander in search of a muse, a symbol, that love is eternal. And till there is you, there is love, And a hope that for every ending, there is always a new beginning.
