Will you be my valentine?

Will you be my valentine?
A voice pursued me everywhere
I could not imagine a face to that voice
It had a familiar shrill yet daunting
How could I be your valentine?
I asked
Does it not mean Selfless love?
It does
But I am selfish and mean
How do I fight into the profile?
The voice would not leave me alone
Being a valentine comes with a huge baggage
It is not just gifting a bunch of meaningless hearts
It is showing care with your heart and soul
Was I equipped to do so?
I can't, I said
Why bite more than you can swallow?
The voice calmly stated
I love you even if you are cranky and shallow
I will stay with you until the end of the world
It promised
It is impossible, I said
Nothing lasts
Yes, it said
But I will stay with you, no matter what
The voice promised
Persistence and Loneliness won over
And I hugged myself

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights.

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt me. They migh
