Rolling Dreams!

On my death bed, Send him a postcard, Tell him I’ll be waiting, don’t be late…. Will save few breaths, As his warm hands hold mine, Keep him close, The way I had all my life Wish he says, ‘Stay’, Placing a forehead kiss, Bringing memories back, One last glance before goodbye The longing will rest As the heartbeat fade, Handover the letters, As remnants of my love that remain…

 It's you Rasika.... “It’s you Rasika, and not anyone else”, a statement I  have been hearing since months has  now got me at the brink of an emotional threshold. From watching myself as a third person slipping away into a noise outside to run away from the noise inside to losing control over every cell of my body. This whole pretense of being happy and normal around people strangely doesn’t choke me to death but makes me catch a breath at times. Men these days are like Y chromosomes getting attracted to my X chromosomes causing chemical reactions in my heart.  My brain runs at a lightning speed at work combating the storm of thoughts and as the sun sets the heart is bleeding in pain wanting to be held and heard. From being expressive about it to now curbing every shapeless emotion life seems to be closing on me. It’s unfair to carry so much warmth in the heart and being told you are more in the world which is constantly complaining for the lack of it. For a sou...

"Eye contact and a heartbeat, that’s how it all began" , this phrase can be aptly used to describe the inception of ‘Lover’s Home’ a special project which takes you into my parallel universe of love. Being a visual creator, I wanted to express my feelings and thoughts through imagery and somehow moving visuals didn’t seem fit but photography is what worked as a fabric to weave the story in its true sense.  So, what is Lover’s Home?  Lover’s Home is all about falling in love with the idea of him and the magic he has created with his presence in life. My body is now his home and the heart a trunk of his memories. They say love happens to you when you least expected it, and well for me it happened while I was halfway through it. I would confess I didn’t hold back and went with the flow only to realize that he had me surrendered in an eye contact and his mesmerising smile. The memories would last a lifetime as every moment spent with him will be cherished and will stay with m...

‘He walked into my life like sunshine’ – confessed the heart to the complicated mind.   Have you ever experienced this feeling of being constantly confessing feelings to your heart that only gets complex in the mind with every confession? She is in love with the idea of him, that makes her blush at odd hours of the day, makes her desire a life she never thought of and makes her free from the shackles of a conventional relationship. The bond is deeply rooted with a promise to belong to each other forever. Promise… Don’t even know whether we have the right to make promises and to keep them. Can’t let go, cant have a forever… yet the desire to be together gets stronger with every passing day. Can we entangle it with an emotion of a romantic relationship or let it weave itself in the warmth of strong friendship?   He gives the feels of a man who would caress the pain and kiss the wounds. He could also demand a lifetime of emotional bondage, am I ready for it? Can’t...

For all those people who knew me till a year back, had an idea about my fear around dogs. I could not stand them and would always run away if I spot them. Friends having pets would be compelled to lock them in a separate room so I could sit peacefully without shrieking and yelling. What changed a year back? My sister being a pet lover always wanted to have a pet since childhood but mum had reservations so we never had one. Well, my human loves and adores pets, he too for a long time wanted to have one. So last year during this time when my sister got two cute little 21 days old mixed breed puppies, the expression on my bestie’s face melted my heart and for his happiness we got home our little bundle of joy ‘Papya’ who changed my life since then. Most of you love his name and while my nephews had named him Bruno as he was brown in colour, the name ‘papya’ came from my bestie’s nephew Ronan (2 yrs old), who was actually trying to address him as a puppy but he cutely uttered the...

Every year in the New Year resolution list, fitness and health are on the topmost spot but how many of us actually follow it? It’s fun to see Instagram posts of people working out in the gym to get the right curves and the abs but the motivation ends as soon as it’s time for us to get up and hit the gym. For people who have strenuous work schedule, it’s a task to find time to go to a gym but I know a champ who is a known and popular Director in the Indian Television, Noel Smith cycles to his shoot every day. He has a fancy giant ‘Storm’ but he still prefers his bicycle to go to work every day.   When I asked him about his choice to pedal it out to work, he said, “ As a director my job demands a lot of stamina and energy to sustain the long working hours. This 30 minutes cycle ride to work just pumps in the right motivation and spirit for the entire day. I don’t need to go to gym as my bicycle ensures I sweat it out and remain fit.” Cycling is mainly an aerobic activity,...
