When i turned 34

When i turned 34 i realised
There are friends with whom you share a moment and then there are some....far away but always close to heart.
There are no relations to replace blood relations.
Money can buy you happiness. I mean i prefer to sit in a cool pub instead of a local hotel for my big day
My birthday is the most important day for me but its just another day for others

Appa

Appa...its a simple word filled with lots of emotions. He loved it when i called him like that instead of 'acha' as we were trained from childhood. It was our special bond. He will take my hans and rub it across the chin for me to feel the prick of his stubbles. I used to get angry and it was his pleasure. How i wish i could do it one more time... How i wish he would call me and irritate me again... I miss his calls, his msgs and everything about him. Sometimes i find it hard to believe he is gone. A healthy man who lost his will to live, a man whose mom called him to her... I know where ever he is, he is happy coz he will be with his parents but why did he have to leave so suddenly?  I mean, yes i was there with him full time but still i never got to say good bye and i never told him i love him. I hope he knew it.
He is the only man i have ever loved with full confidence that he will never hurt me.... I miss you Appa

In a blink

Some relations start with a spark
And they set the whole thing on fire
To end in ashes and destroy the ark
And become the pyre

Some relations start shaky and bore
It's all habitual and stable
The kind of love that exists no more
And is totally predictable

And then there are a few relations
It's destabilise the inner peace
It puts you off track
It pulls you away from your habits
And make your spirit sore away
These things have no name
It's raw, it's rough and abrupt
This is no keeper, this is a blower
They start and stop
- in a blink

The charisma of yester years

A few days ago, while at work i witnessed something which made me wonder about the men of today.
The charm that men of yester years possessed are not known to the boys/ men today. Simple gestures like letting the lady go through the door first, opening the door of the car for the lady or taking the shades off while speaking to the female.
How nice it would be if the men of today could do all this? Wont it make the female in his life feel special?
