I miss you!

I sit beside you holding a glass of TANG. Mango flavour. Our favourite. Your sugar has gotten low. You just fell down while talking to me I am shocked. This is the first time. I think its the first and the last time.Its Sha'ban. You were fasting so maybe.

The lights are on. I feel somebody entering the room. Its you. You wake me up. You seem different. I get up. You lie down. I notice you are not the same. You complain.. of PAIN.. I hurry.. towards Doc's room! I wake him up. He and Dad rush you.. to the hospital. You ask me to stay home. Coz you love me. You dont want me to see you going!

I have to go to the hospital. They say come in emergency department! Heck.. I donno! No-one from my family had ever been admitted before my eyes. How am I supposed to know that emergencies are in the beginning!

I see you finally.. Lying in an isolated room! I am scared. I don't understand whats happening. Its weird and depressing! You take my hand in your drip cladden hand! Its still soft. YOu talk. I listen. I wish I knew this is the last time we will talk like this! There are so many things I want to say, I don't know that time was too short. That a fortnight will pass by! And then no talk.. no faces.. no you!

Lost!

"You must get these medicines, go down the road and you'll see the pharmacy, also get two syringes..Be quick, we don't have much time, she needs to be injected as soon as possible" Lil Karim nodded enthusiastically. He looked in the dirty pockets of his gray kurta , there was a folded handkerchief, he had tied rs 2000 carefully in a knot in that hanky. Just yesterday Maa had gotten her monthly pay. And here she was lying on a bed in the general ward of a gov't hospital. Is that what a person who works so hard as Maa get for a gift, when I was 5, and got admitted to school, Maa got me a big red ball, such a nice gift, and why did Maa get this?? Karim, though just merely 10 years old had thoughts deep and profound. He ran off, his dusty kurta flying in the air, the rubber chappal he wore were on the verge of tearing apart, but did that matter to Karim??.. Karim ran amidst the people, since he was just 10, not much big either, people weren't letting him go ah...

I Try!!

Back with a new post!! I was cleaning my drawers today just to find some old memoirs, like the other day I found my slam book.. I keep on dwellin in the past! Today, I found my old report cards.. Nice comments, some nice grades too.. The one thing that really caught my attention was the printed poem at the back of each report card, "Try Again" which goes like 'Tis a lesson you should heed, Try again.. If at first you don't succeed, Try again.. which reminded me of my own poem, "I Try!!", I thought of puttin it up here, to save it.. Here goes; Over the mountains, Across the seven skies, Where I haven't ever been, Above tops too high, I try, To let my voice, Be heard by you, But I'll never know, If you heard my cry, I try, Hope against hope, That I'll find you, If not in this world, Then somewhere in the sky, I try, To be the person, You wish to see me, I'll never do the worst, And bid you good bye, And yet, I try. Wrote sometime in Apri...

But ofcourse we were staying in hotels so cudnt really cook, but I made noodles, soups, chicken yakhni for him and ofcourse all sorts of sandwiches..tuna, chicken, cheese!! thats all I could do with my electric kettle!! But it was tremendous fun, honest! We mostly had pizzas and pasta, coffee and baguette!! :) loved the baguettes in Paris, and the pain au chocola!!
