Reflections of my refracted thoughts

The wordings that follow are entirely dedicated to people who suffering from taking a firm decision and constantly living in confusion. Short snippets: #1 Living on the edge, Closer to falling in, Closer to falling out, Decisions are always a dilemma, So I play the neutral ground. #2 I turn the key forward, The locker is locked. Two and a half minute is my wake up call. I turn the key backward, Only to check the already checklisted list. #3 The leaf blows along with the wind Yet,I stand in distress, Looking at the sand dispersing, Guessing the wind's direction. #4 Our love story was beautiful. I was black and she was rose. I followed her foot steps. It was a straight pocket, But I ditched the the striker. -Yamuna

There has not passed a single day without me admiring myself in the mirror every morning when I wear my prestigious white cap with a black rim that matches my white shirt tucked neatly inside my black pant. After smiling at the merchant navy badge I set out to the front deck. I could almost smell the sea salt which is now the popular flavour in drinks and chocolates. Smiling to myself I look at the blue sky feeling the drag of the propellers cutting through the waters. It was hot and bright, a perfect day I thought. The day was perfect because within a few hours the ship is to be docked at the Chennai port, and finally I could meet my parents. The ship docked and I was greeted by my brother who was waiting for me with his arms outstretched. I ran into his arms and he hugged as tightly as possible. “Hello sister! You have gotten slimmer than the last time I met you.” he said looking at me. “Yes, well I am concerned about my fitness. There aren’t many girls who work fo...

There are a few people who believe that the chess piece 'pawn' is availabe only for sacrifice.They think that pawn does nothing but only helps in making the chess board presentable.But ,there are others who value them. This thought is well suitable to our day to day life cycle.We meet people,some we befriend ,some turn out to be our enemies ,some does nothing, some helps us in our growth. So what happens when we belittle and under estimate someone.Well,it is similar to the voice of a pawn. The pawns talk. We build a wall. We breach the security. We clear the path We leave a trail. Standing on the front line, Facing into the visage of our rivals, Ironically dressed in white or Mockingly dressed in black, We be the first one to face the wrath. Yet,ashamed in facing the visage of the one standing before me. But, willing to kill anyone who dares to cross our path. Not as powerless as you think, For on crossing the enemy lines I become the Queen. ...

I know that most of us do not read newspapers but what is the point when you only find advertisements instead of current affairs.There was a period when people bought newspaper to know about the things that were happening around the globe.But now they buy to look at what program is running on which channel and at what time.Astonishingly the accuracy of the schedule is so perfect that even the NEWS they publish fails to accomplish such perfection. One of the newspapers which have achieved this is nothing but the "THE TIMES OF INDIA",one of the largest circulated English papers across India. Not only this, according to readers they also hold the first place for publishing large number of advertisements."haha".Well this is quite good which shows how popular they are but to everyone's dismay the number of advertisements found ,far exceeds the number of worldwide information they provide us with. The above figure shows the front page of "The Times...

Four houses are in play 52 warriors on the mark, Cloked in red and black. Not a war but a game. Clover doesn't bring luck Spades don't build the artillery Diamonds can't buy hearts And hearts never melt. Robust are the sinews of Kings Dauntless are the hearts of Queens Switch and bait are the games that Jacks play Dexterity are the crowns that Aces wear. The King runs the chariot And the queen glides along, Not with kingsgaurd and queensgaurd But with jokers who play the trump card. Mockery and trickery teamed up Money flew out All bets are in  Ans so the game begins. -----yamuna

The ticks between the tocks. The chats between the shots. The shouts between cheers. The blush between kisses. The smile before the laugh. The moments before memories. The stab before betrayal. The dawn before the dusk. The beginning before the end.
