This is, by far, my worst experience EVER. Driven by sheer stupidity, I decided to get my ears pierced(yes, again!) from someone other than the trustworthy person I always faithfully go to. I wanted to try someone "new". So, before I could even give it a second thought, I was in an unfamiliar shop, getting the markings done on my ear where I wanted the piercings. At first, I didn't notice the tool he was going to use. I was focused on the reflection in the mirror, making sure the markings on the ears were perfect and not too far away. Only when I noticed something golden and shiny in my peripheral vision, did I turn and i gawked at the strange hook kinda thing he had in his hand. I freaked out! He obviously WASN'T going to put THAT thing into my ear! I'm not really a huge hygiene freak but eww!! Lord knows if that was steralised and for all I know, the last person he pierced that with might have had some deadly disease!
Clearly, i was just paranoid. I took a deep breath, cleared my head and gathered up courage to do this. Never had a piercing hurt as much as this one did! And to top of, I started to feel dizzy! This never happens to me! I had to sit down and let the blood rush to my head so that the world around me would stop turning. It took quite a while but little did i know that this was just the beginning.
A few days later, the new piercing started to hurt a lot. This was very unusual and that is when i realized that the stud had gone inside the piercing, causing the excruciating pain, because of which I had to remove the stud and let it heal. Decided to not take such risks again and thus, stick to going to the person i always go to for my piercings and as for the mad man, i hope to never see him again.

ODE TO THE LI'L PIGGY
Just this evening, I saw a piglet caught in fire
As its helpless mother stood watching the flames go higher
There was nothing much she could do
Other than grunt and try to get the piglet out too.
The little one was screaming its lungs out
As its fur charred and skin caught fire
I’m sure it must have felt horrible
Because that little thing was just a week or two old.
There was another baby circling the mothers leg she looked shaken too,
As she stayed close to her protector
The fire was set by some heartless people
While the nursing pig and the others slept in the bushes.
Few people came to the rescue
The minute the heard the grunts, which grew
And fought the fire
With buckets of water.
But that was way too late
For the trapped little pig
Whose body was charred as it lay still
Nothing could be done to get it back to life
As the smoke subsided,
I watched the pig run towards the spot
I thought she was heading towards the dead piglet
But when I saw her walk past it did I realize
In a bush, further away,
Stood a little piglet, hidden by the leaves
As it saw its mother approach,
The little piggy followed her.
There were just two tiny survivors of the fire,
The mother and the 2 piggys whose bravery to stay put, I admire.

ANGEL
An unusual cold, cloudy morning
Walking with my backpack
Various thoughts about school and assignments surround me
As I walk past the white-washed houses.
In the distance, I see you
Walking towards me, with your head bent low
You seemed lost in thoughts and gloomy
While avoiding people’s gazes
And walking in quick, long strides.
Not many would describe you as pretty
In the fishnets and boots and chokers and linkers
But you looked nothing less than an Angel to me
Blending in perfectly in the weather,
I watch you as you push away
The loose strand of your black hair
People scowl at your black make-up
And your all black outfit
I don’t understand why they just have to judge you
Based completely on how you chose to look.
People are the same inside, no matter what
Even if they change their looks everyday.
Why do they find it so hard to understand this?
Or why can’t they just mind their own business?
As you walked closer, I noticed your many piercing
Even though you are Goth, it doesn’t make you a bad person
It depresses me to see how easily people are stereotyped
They don’t even try to talk to you and get to know you
Before they pass their judgments.
You aren’t afraid to be what you are,
You don’t care about what random people think of you
You chose to be this, because this is what you wanted
And dress exactly the way you want to
For which I highly admire and respect you.
Sure, you might have been a part of the night rituals,
Sitting in a circle with your friends, in the middle of the jungle
Chanting stuff, with a fire burning in the centre.
But how can people condemn you for worshiping the Evil?
Good or bad or Satan or God,
You have your freedom to follow whatever you choose.
I watch you walk closer,
You lift your gaze to mine
And you look at me straight in the eye.
As you pass me, I could have bet my life,
That it was a smile...

THE DANCE
I stand alone on the cold,dark stage
The stage full of graffiti and decorations
It brings back memories of the dance
Which went totally wrong.
With the messy dress I was in,
And the ruined make up,
I stand there and think "How could I?"
Maybe it wasn't his fault after all
'Cause he hadn't officially asked me.
Just because he was being sweet,
I could'nt assume he would go with me
It was wrong of me to have expectations.
Neither was it the fault of my best friends for not being there
I cant blame them for being busy with their dates.
In the end,it was I who was hurt
The minute I saw them kiss on the dance floor
I looked for my friends and spotted then dancing
Deciding on not to interrupt,I held back my tears
And rushed to the one place where I thought I would be alone
Once in the parking lot,I sat in my car
But that horrible scene followed me where ever i was.
As I thought of the past,the tears came rolling down
I could not just expect him to come back to me.
When the party came to an end,I got a grip
After an hour,I went back to the dance floor
And the memories of the dance came rushing back
Bringing fresh tears to my eyes.

PAULOV
I am at a friend's house,talking,when i get a call from my mother askin me to come back home soon-she has a surprise for me. I am taken aback. My birthday is still two days away and she already bought me something!
I get back home as soon as i possibly could. And as i enter my room,i hear them chirping. Tiny little bright birds! One of them is aqua blue and the other white.
I am overjoyed! They are the happiest birds ever. They made me smile.
I decide to name the male(the blue one) Paulov and the female Asana.
Every morning,when we enter the room they are in,they chirp.. As if to greet us. They were always so full of life!
Many birds came and left after that but i got attatched to Paulov. I watched him grow fat,i loved to hear him chirp. Almost like as if he wanted to tell me he's happy,probably.
Three years later(4 days back)- mother woke me up and asked me to check on Paulov. He was on the floor,a very unusual sight because he seemed allright the night before. I pick his stiff body up and i couldn't get myself to think what went wrong. He was just a little over three years. I had no choice. He got a decent burial and thus he lies in the backyard. The silence that persists now instead of the chirping is killing. To hell with all those people who said you always created an intolerable racket. We love u,Paulov and we will always miss ur happy chirping.

FAR AWAY
Standing alone in the dark,lonely road
I look around for signs of you
Even your footstep in the snow-covered pathway would do..
Seeing nothing that is of proof that you are near,
I do not lose hope and the wait seemed to go on forever.
Not untill I was totally covered in snow
Did someone back in the warmth of my party room know
That something was missing-and that was me.
I even patiently sat near the phone
Hoping you would call atleast and tell people to leave me alone..
Evening turned to night and with each passing minute,
The sorrow in my heart grew.
There I stood,in front of my birthday cake
Ready to blow my candles but wondering why did you fake?
I thought you would not miss this day for anything
And your absence must mean something-
Maybe you had forgotten,anyway..
I lay awake in bed all night
Trying to stop my tears,which I couldn't fight
Finally,I heard the most pleasant sound!
I picked up the phone on the second round.
Little did I know that it is not the call I expected
For,your tearful mother told me you were no more-
A fact I cudn't digest..
While I was awaiting your arrival the whole day,
HE had made you take a wrong way.
The one turn of the wheel of your car
Took you away from all of us...

New life
This has to be the best start of the new year i have ever had!! After almost three horrifing years,finally things have started to look bright and less twisted! Argh! This is just more than wonderfull!! What can be better than starting a new life with an amazing get-away from the monotonous life?! The trip was much more fun than i expected it to be and the weather too decided to add up to my happiness!
Coorg was breath taking(and not to forget all the other places we visited)!
The birth place of river Kaveri (Talakaveri) was our first destination. Honestly,i'm not quite religious myself but the whole atmosphere and the people there got to me made me feel that the river is something we got to worship. Sounds kind of stupid,i know. You'll know what i'm talking about if you've been there. It is THE RIVER! Our lifeline. The soul of our existance! Sure worth all the worship eh?
Then came the climb up to the spot from the temple where apparently three holy men had meditated. Man! The view from the top was so totally worth all the climbing up(which,mind you, was'nt easy. There were around a thousand,steep steps to climb and it was was not tough to give up half way)! I managed to make it to the top. Yaay me! (i secretly then dropped my hopes of wanting to climb Mount Everest then). The weather was beautiful!! Cold and freezing with a hint of sunlight!
Then came the Abbi waterfall,the next day. Wish i could stay at that place for good! The hanging bridge was not all that wobbly though. Piss off!
Water rafting at Dubara Forest-went rafting for almost two hours and made new friends in the process! It always feels good to meet new people. I din't like the whole concept of the Elephant ride though. Poor elephants! Why cant they live in peace instead of being made to carry lame,insensitive people around? Get a life people!!
The deer park at Nisargadhama was ok. I expected the deer to be shy creatures. Apparently not. Again,they had the elephant rides. Idiots. Oh! And the swings were super cool! They were hung on tree branches and there were awesome tree houses atop the numerous bamboo trees!! I've never wanted to own a tree house this badly. They made me go speechless.
The Tibetian Golden Temple on our way back made me feel like i'm in Tibet itself(guess that was the idea)! They had their own colony there,complete with a school,orphanage, shopping mall,restaurants and what not! Oh and how can i forget the super friendly people!! Made me feel so at home. The way they guide you and wave at you if they see you again and their friendly smile.. Like you've known then for ages!
I can go on and on and on about it and never get tired! Oh my God! The best time i've had in YEARS!! True,the long drive and sitting in the car for hours together made me feel sick but whatever! What a lovely new year vacation!! Made me get into the whole spirit of New Year! Yaay!
