The Hand That Rocked..

It was here, the big day he had waited for ever since he had seen those kids in grad. gowns and caps, he had said, "Don't they look so sophisticated?!!", she had agreed, and they both waited for it, waited desperately!!

He stood there shaking hands with his classmates, friends and family..Each of them shook his hand vigorously, patted him on the back, but none of the hands had that touch..He searched for it, but to no avail..

Wasnt it just a matter of few months back, when they discussed what they'd do on his graduation day..He stood and he thought, and as he thought he tried to search for it, he tried to find that hand, but he couldn't find it. He couldn't find the hand that rocked his cradle and the hand that rules his world!!

Because you made me love books. I wish I could tell you about all the new books I have read..they are all thrillers eheheh but I gu...

You cry when your mother suddenly out of the blue wakes up sick.. Gets admitted in the hospital, stays in coma for 14 days, and then moves on to her final resting place, you cry hard because you had never in your wildest dreams imagined her to go away jus like that, in the blink of an eye...
