Of balconies and waves!!

The amazing thing about balconies is that you always manage to make a friend or two! (No pun intended, and no they are not crushes or the likes, simple friends and no, i am not copying Vidya Balan frm KK, I have had balcony frnds ever since I could peek out through my balcony!

SO back in Karachi, I had an age old balcony aunty friend.. She was in a separate building, every time it rained she, like me, used to come in the blcony.. at times since they dint draw curtains I cud see uncle ji too!! and some times suddenly they used to have a housefull!! one day.. she asked me to come over..(with mum) we dint go!! but well, she used to b a nice person!!

I really dont know how odd I'm gonna sound but me n my bro used to fly shopping bags back home!! no not kites, thailiyaan!! haha!! on sundays when no traffic, no onlookers.. i could easily sneak in the balcony with him, Mum allowed but Papa was a bit (a huge bit) strict!! un se bachte bachte me n himused to do this, ke kis ki theli xzyada durr tak jati hay!! gosh!! woh din!!

n here too as I look out hrough my window while drying clothes, the maid across my balcony waves to me..sometimes I think I need just a wave of a hand to lemme know someone somewhere thinks about me lovingly! and when I was returning home one day walking, I see this maid walk on the other side of the road, I wanted to wave again, she wasnt looking.. and I kept staring and she waveddd!! yayyy I waved back!! sometimes life is so simple, sometimes just a wave makes your day!! and sumtimes just a smile, or a text, or a call, a hug or a kiss!!! a simple single thing is enough for a simple human being!! :)

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...
