Twilight

Alone
I used to live
In my fantasy world
With help of Meyer's
Twilight.
Love
Filled with its
Own distinct flavours
Me being left fully
Mesmerized.
Throbbing
Of the carotid
Felt by touching
The lips to the neck of
Human.
Resisting
The taste of one's
Favourite type of drug
In the name of honest
Passion.
And
Then I met with your
Style of silent affection
From my neck to spine
Shivering.
Alas
Those feelings once
Buried in the novel
Came out into reality
Bursting.

Chester Bennington

It started with one thing
When your songs
Helped me to breathe in
As I was living
In a castle of glass
It wasn't the place
Where I belonged
I wanted to heal, to feel
Everything that was unreal
But I grew up
Breaking that habit
The loud echoing music
Bursting into my ears
Outside looking like a fool
From the inside I felt relieved
To find my destination
Crawling on the way
One step closer
I was everyday
Neither I could runaway
Nor you pushed me away
Your music walked with me
Like a shadow of the day
When you saved so many
How could you give up
Now you've surely left behind
Many reasons to be missed
& in the end you were still the best
Let us all leave out the rest.

Together

Is it just an attraction
Growing between the two
Or do we all believe
In love at first sight.
For it should be decided
Over the course of years
Just like we ask our granny
How did she fell for grandpa.
It wasn't just after
The wedding night
Or the nights that followed
But surely after so many
Meals prepared together.
After birth of a few children
& after death of someone close.
After nights spent far apart
To sipping hot tea when it was cold.
It happened over all these years
For they had the patience to grow old
Together.

Golden dust

Exhaling
what I had within
My words
crumple the paper
slowly into ash
Yet again
along the wind
striving
I float in the air
like golden dust.

Another time another place

These feelings have no end
Even if we separate,
I will meet you again
Another time another place.
If not my voice
My words shall reach you,
I'll return to reside in that heart
For this love is true.
You can move on
You don't have to stop,
It will just be my soul
Protecting round the clock.
One day shall come
Unknowingly you'll grieve,
Silently sliding out as tears
Through your eyes I will leave.
Run your fingers on the pages
Read my words to embrace,
& we shall meet again
Another time another place.

Specially challenged (TheTelegraphicTales)

Today while working in the ER I encountered a young patient​, a boy 17yrs of age, who could not hear or speak since birth. He was accompanied by his mother who somehow managed to tell us that he has stomach ache. He was so restless that I could myself understand this much from his body language and my clinical knowledge. I started giving him some injections which would relieve his symptoms but they weren't of much help. I called up a friend who knew sign language so as to communicate with him but his mother informed that he is not educated. And there I felt the floor slipping away from under my foot, what did I just hear? A deaf & dumb boy, how will he express himself? If his two senses aren't working he still has other senses intact. He can see, he can write but his parents never realised that how important it is to express oneself. Shocked and surprised at the same time, on knowing the family history, the couple had 4 kids of which one was specially challenged. While there are many NGOs, schools and other health & education ​systems established for providing the necessary information and teaching, at a minimal cost, very much affordable and sometimes free as well yet people don't use them. The parents were spending money in lakhs for the education of their three kids but not a single penny for this child only because they thought what will he do with education. You be rich or poor but if you don't have the ability of expressing you cannot help your ownself. We talk about the big changes we want, well this is where we need to start. All the knowledge I gained in these years was useless today in front of him for even if I had known the sign language he wouldn't understand me at all. We tried counseling his parents but they didn't pay much heed to our words & took away our mysterious patient, discharging on risk bond. I could only silently pray for him because that's what we do all the time after we are done with the medicinal treatment, pray to God to handle the rest!
