Heartbreak

She stood there watching the waves,
The sun set in the golden horizon.
The calmness of the sea stole her gaze,
To the music of a soulless violin.

A loner’s heart throbs in the desert,
Blood of your sister flows through your vein.
Letters that share a silent secret,
Words that convey the message of your hidden pain.

BTW - this is my 300th post! :)

Notice Me

2012-01-22T02:06:00.001+05:30

Amidst the passing cars
There was a soul with breathing scars.
Memoirs of a New Year –
Sadness stricken with ember
Voices that buzzed in my head
And awakenings I cannot perceive. Instead –
I reach for those eyes
That longs for me.

Sand Castle

2012-01-14T18:50:00.002+05:30

Castles that were made from sand
Towers that stood away from the sea
A flag that signaled life
And a princess lost in its maze.

Castles that had memories –
The princess who had the key.
Wind blew, and the castle fell.

Taking the memories with her,
The princess ran.

Broken, destroyed and defeated
The remains of the castle looked lump.
The princess turned back to look at it.

She ran back towards it
And still holding the key,
Began to build it again,
For she was the memories.

Painting Skies

2012-01-12T17:43:00.001+05:30

The sky is my canvas.
It is white and I paint in blue
I use the sponge to make the clouds.
The sun is rising,
I use orange, yellow and a little bit of red to paint this God.
Slowly my colours drip off the canvas down to Earth,
Painting everyone and giving each their colour.

The sky is a lonely blue
Searching for someone to love it and paint it.

And so once everyday before the sun bids bye,
the world splashes colours on it.
White, blue, purple, yellow, orange, red.
And the massive canvas is now complete.

The sky has been painted.

Lights

2012-01-06T17:55:00.004+05:30

These lights, they blind me.
I try to open my eyes to see the truth yet they forbade me.
Sometimes I wonder where I am;
What time I am in and whether I am lost.
These lights don’t give me hope, they scare me.
I am lost in this bright light and I wonder if darkness is the key.

Death Notes

2012-01-01T00:31:00.000+05:30

A ballad last sung in the snow,
Flakes that drifted towards that song;
Footprints etched forever in that path,
A lost soul that lingered in the platinum white;

Paths that entwined with each other,
Frozen tears of an angel, dripped in Holly;
And star trails crossed the sky,
Reviving memories once again;

Colours that faded with time,
Flowers that withered for eternity.

We followed no time,
And still stood beside each other;

A symphony that swept like destruction,
And chaos stroke like an avalanche;
And yet we held each other,
Coffining ourselves with the snow, forever.

HAPPY NEW YEAR (2012) EVERYONE! ^_^
Hope I'll be more regular with posts this year! :]

December 9

2011-12-09T17:36:00.000+05:30

A sky so blue, coloured like the morning dew,
And violets hung their heads - heavy in cue.
Two birds fought in the crossfire,
And blood, dripping like tendrils, united each other.

Light

2011-11-26T20:36:00.001+05:30

A glow in the dark
Through canopy of Maple
Radiance applauds.

Victims of Light

2011-11-21T17:29:00.001+05:30

Yeah, I took it. :) **C**

Paper cranes swayed with the wind,
Flickering lights are the dancers of this stage;
Booms, bangs and blasts fill up the dome,
A solstice night that harbors illumination.

Behind the curtain lies a petty soul, lost to the Devil –
Weeps slowly watching the shattered glass,
Which reflected his shattered dreams,
All given away for this luminescent night.

I wanted to theme this poem around the irony of a "Happy Diwali".

The Last Song

2011-11-14T20:56:00.001+05:30

Summer shone through the leaves,
A white streak passed the sky;
Little birds chirped in the branches,
I stood in the meadow listening to this chorus.

The wind rustled the grass,
Words that were meant for someone crossed my lips;
Tuning itself to the sounds around,
I glanced at the coming winter and sang my last song.

I am so sorry because I wasn't able to blog for like, DAYS! It was mainly because I was out of station (vacations) and also my exams were going on! So I'd a tight schedule for many days and now I'm relieved!

I fell like writing blank verses now 'cause I think they spread the message/meaning of the poem much better than a rhyming one. Personal

A Tale of Blues and Waves

2011-10-13T21:42:00.001+05:30

Lapping endlessly with a million crease,
Sounding alike to the shrill of dolphin;
All minds digress,
As a melody tuned to Chopin;
Rose above the waves in melancholy,
Caressing the world in the arms of united symphony.

Foam that ebbs like trinkets –
Dies away from our fingers,
Passing through like threads of gossamer,
Yet, only to follow once again.

Cacophony call arises in the sky,
Winged beats that dot the blue;
Overjoy preludes with a strident cry,
Talons brush the water in a distorting hue.

A world hidden deep down,
An abyss that lays forever unknown;
Mismatched with the perfect corals,
Embedded with mosaic sea shells.

Schools of fins that pass you by,
Sometimes a peck and sometimes a bite;
Treasure that whisper “Forget me, Ay!”
Eternal beauty that will be unrevived.

Light glimmers through like art,
Shining its way to this dark paradise;
An unknown world, silent and apart
A High Queen who thrones with no demise.

Alas! It is she, who hides away from all eyes,
Skimming away with the tides;
Watching each other closely,
And ensuring life underwater is in harmony.

The Contract

2011-09-28T18:50:00.000+05:30

The contract was signed. Now all I had to wait for was the job to done.
After all, I’ve waited for five years for this moment to come.

5 years ago.
I was looking out of my window at the falling cherry blossoms. They were looking like pink snow and were really pretty. I remember smiling at them and that was when Sean brushed the fringe away from my face and blew a soft breeze.

“Off to dreamland I presume… What were you dreaming about? I bet it was about me, right?”
He chuckled as he said the last sentence. I wanted to tell him it was true, but I did not.

“No! Of course not! Why would I anyway?!” I rolled my eyes and continued, “I was just admiring the cherry blossoms. They look so pretty right? And also this is going to be the last day of school, like forever! We don’t have to come to this place ever again! It’s going to be such a relief!”

He leaned against my desk and looked out and said, “Truly said my angel, the cherry blossoms do look pretty and yes, this is also the last day of school… and also my…”
“Angel?! Honestly, what is wrong with you? Cut me some slack please, you ok?”

“Oh! Yes I’m perfectly fine. And don’t you hear the bell ringing? I think it’s time for the school to be haunted. Come on now, let’s go.”
“By haunted you mean free right? You and your metaphors!”

That was the last cherished movement of my life. Thinking what happened after that just makes me sadly nauseous.

As soon as school had gotten over Sean dragged me to a coffee shop telling that he was going to treat me since “school’s finally over and all”.
I ordered a Cappuccino. Sean ordered Mocha.

We were sipping our coffee silently and it was Sean who broke the silence.

“Remember in class that I told this is the last day of school?”
“Yes. Why are you bringing that now?”
“Just listen. Do you also remember the next sentence which I told you?”
I tried to remember his words in the backdrop of cherry blossoms…
“…the last day of school and also my…”
“Yes! But you never completed it…”

He smiled. It wasn’t his usual ear-to-ear end smile. It was a subtle one, the one which he used when he wanted to convey sad news. The last time I remember seeing him smile like that was when his favourite pet Rocco died. That was two years ago.

“Let me complete it for you. Today, apart from being the last day of school, is also the last day I’m going to live. I’m not a normal mortal. I’m living a curse. Only once in millennia will I be able to live till my adulthood with you, which happens to be now. Other times I don’t get to meet you. I die very young, being a child, being your child.”

I listened to what he spoke in utter astonishment wondering if he was playing a joke with me. But the look in his eyes told me he wasn’t because his eyes, they were looking so desperate. Whatever he’s spoken just now went inside my head like a vacuum cleaner sucking the dirt. Except what he told right now wasn’t dirt, it was the truth.
I took in a few gulps still not believing what he’d said and sipped my Cappuccino.

“So this is the last time I going to see you as an adult? And after that you will… be my child, and then you will die again?” My eyes were beginning to swell and tears started coming.

He immediately came closer and huddled me and assured me, “Hey! Don’t cry! You will see me again as a child…! Please don’t cry! It just makes my departure more painful. Please don’t!”

“Is it just me? Does this happen to you only with me?”, I said in between sobs.
He cupped my cheek, “Yes, yes. It’s only and always you. That’s why it makes me feel so painful and at the same time it makes you even more precious, my angel.”

He leaned closer and whispered in my ear, “My time has come. I have to leave now. Goodbye. And don’t cry. ”

I was beginning to throw a hysteria. I could see him slowly disappearing into the thin air. Just like the way no one could. An aura of sparkles surrounded him. I was wondering what it was.

“Don’t think too much Anna, you always do. I’m being carried away by fairies.” I heard him chuckle again. And I knew that it was going to be the last time I’m ever going to hear that sound.
“How will I know you are going to come to me again?” I shouted at the top of my voice since he had already drifted away to the skies.

“In five years. Just sign a contract. Goodbye now Anna. I love you and I know that you love me too, even though you never say it.”

“Bye! And be sure to come and see me within five years!”

And that was the last time I ever saw Sean. Until now.

I had another chance now. I had a guarantee that I would see him again. After all I did sign the contract.

I saw him standing there. He had long dark hair and the warmest grey eyes. I knew who it was without any thought.
It was Sean.
“Finally.” I whispered.

Stairway to Heaven

2011-09-27T18:36:00.002+05:30

The stairs ascended to a bright light,
Spiralling to an endless infinite;
Railings that looked fresh and new –
Smiling to an open invitation from the top cue;
White winter roamed the lands and skies,
Not a single soul jutted his voice.

Heaven was above and below,
Separated by nothing but and old stairway of willow;
Her sweet melodious voice serenaded,
And light from the candles applauded;
Each note rising higher and higher,
Each note calling me closer and closer;
A harp that played the tunes of death,
A stormy night had caught my breath.

Tears washed away by the rain,
Anguish – I wish I never fain;
Star-crossed I maybe tonight –
A curtain fall for the last time. Aphrodite
Calls me longingly to her cavern,
And I finally ascend the stairway to my heaven.

Day 09 – Someone you wish you could meet.

2011-09-14T18:13:00.000+05:30

Dear Pratyusha, Ujjwala and Pooh,

久しぶり!
I missed you guys so much!
Okay I can already imagine your face going like “What the hell did she mean in the first line?!”. Relax it means “hisashiburi – meaning ‘long time no see!’ (of course in Japanese)”. So you can stop scratching your heads now! :D

How you been guys? I miss you so much! How are college and school? And Ujju how are things going in your hostel? Have you made any new friends yet? How is the place? How is your new college and have you caught up with the portions there?
God! I feel like asking you all a gazillion questions but this is not going to be a question paper. :P

Life is going in an ease and I’ve formed new friends here too. They’re nice people. There’s Surbhi, Vijaypriya, Anuja, Shreya and there are others too. Not even a single day in our school goes by without saying, “You know in my previous school…” or “In 10th we used to have so much fun…” We all miss our old school days. As a matter of fact even though we might be in schools now, we still prefer school as the days that were till 10th. The faculty is good here. However our physics sir sucks. We’ve had almost like 4 physics teachers alone till now!

People here always talk in Hindi! :(
It really sucks when I can’t speak out because I’m still scared of my Hindi. So I converse in English even when people talk in Hindi. Even our teachers talk/teach in Hindi only sometimes!

I’ve had so many backward moments already, almost like one every day! Today there were two birthday boys and they were receiving birthday blasts from their friends and as soon as I saw that my mind immediately went back to the past when it was my birthday and I thought about how Deeksha and Komal tried to give to blasts that day. I also remembered the part when I cleverly dodged them. :P

Okay, now let me bring you back to the reality which I’d purposely omitted in the first few paragraphs.
Mumbai is not a great city when compared with Hyderabad. It is over populated, congested, huge, filthy, covered with skyscrapers, traffic and no trees - a total contrast to Hyderabad. Moreover the beach is unique. Because, usually the oceans are meant to be blue, but here they are brown. Like real literal brown. You can pretty much forget about looking through “transparent” sea waters here!

School is filled with groupies! There is no such thing as a family, like we used to have before in our old class. And honestly, sometime you’d feel like you’re at a fashion parade!

There is so much more I’d LOVE to tell you guys! But I unfortunately can’t. :P (Lol! Will text you!)

Till then take care, babysit (to Pratyusha :P) and have fun with your lives!

Yours forever and ever,
Tharangni :)

Day 08 – Your Favourite Internet Friend

2011-09-11T21:56:00.001+05:30

Dear You,

Hello virtual friend. Our space may be limited to the rectangular screens which illuminate and screen the words we type, but yet somehow through that we’ve become friends.
You know it’s great to have you as a virtual friend.
I feel I’m different when I’m virtual than real, like I have two different facets – real and virtual. . I feel I’m different when I’m virtual than real, like I have two different facets – real and virtual.

For one thing, you don’t get to see my expressions or the faces I sometimes make when we interact. It may be good or weird or totally blank and sometimes not even caring about your opinion. But you never know what lies behind that screen and so you continue, without a clue.
But again, that’s also the best part. It means that when there is no one willing to listen to me, there is actually someone who doesn’t care about that and wishes to converse with me for who I am to them. And I think that’s actually something nice.
We also share a lot. The greatest thing about virtual “reality” is that I finally get to meet people who think like me, like the things I like and share a lot in common!
To be precise, people whom I don’t often think are same as me in the “real world”.
And when I finally meet that one person who is so similar to me, (as in likes & dislikes, hobbies, etc) I feel so grateful.
So, thank you very much for being such a great friend!

Your “virtual” pal,
Tharangni

Day 07 - Your Ex-boyfriend/Girlfriend/Love/Crush

2011-09-09T18:00:00.000+05:30

Dear eL,

How are you? Hope you are fine.
I’m sorry about what happened between us in the past. Things weren’t meant to happen that way, but it happened and we’d decided to move on ever since then.
Please don’t think that I don’t care about you just because we are over. I’d like to see and talk with you and be friends with you.
Back then you’d make me go to speechless. Your loose hair of and dark sapphire eyes makes me feel lost and searching for words. I’d never say that that charm of yours would disappear. Why, as a matter of fact I still do feel the same even as I write this to you.
It’s strange but I feel that I can express my feeling for you only through words and letters.
But you are no longer the one I seek.
Even though you still have that charm over me, I think now, that whether it was just love that attracted me towards you or your mysterious charm?
My life is going smooth now. I’m thinking it’s time that I need to make myself happy rather than making others. I think it’s time that I decided to live for myself, just for once.
Hope to hear soon from you.

Yours,
Tharangni

Day 06 - A Stranger

2011-09-07T18:32:00.002+05:30

Dear Stranger,

Your name says it all. Stranger.
You are unknown to me. You are nothing but just a blur in my life and more like a falling star. I just see and observe you.
Stranger, you are, but still you are a person, a person who can teach others and from whom others can learn.
The strangest thing is that even though I might have no idea of what type of person you are, you observe me too.
You observe and decide to teach me the values and morals, which even my peers couldn’t have probably taught me. This means you worry about your surroundings and its people.

Truth be told, that is human intuition, worry and care and the world becomes a better place.
This might be a funny thing but to me all are strangers at first.
So no matter how you look at it the first thing you do is actually get to know a stranger and later you befriend them.
Strange right?

But still who knows what you are thinking, when for that fraction of a second, our eyes lock and who knows if you’re even looking at me.

I mean, after all you are still a stranger to me in the end of the day.

Yours,
Tharangni

I know. I haven't done this "30 Day Challenge" in a proper sequence. As a matter of fact I think I'm continuing this almost after a whole year!
But I promise you now that I'm somehow going to complete this challenge within 30 days! (let's hope, please!)

Autumn Confession

2011-09-05T17:22:00.002+05:30

You sit there perfectly like a goddess –

With a while halo surrounding you

Amidst the gold of the autumn

Your dark eyes hold the key –

To the mysteries of my abyss

And my heart turns into knots even as I think about you.

Your gentle movements sway my heart

Even your slow smile melts my soul.

I find the courage to confess my love –

Just the way Spring kissed Winter.

Right now, Autumn is our world.

The golden leaves are the carpet

And you are my princess.

I pray my valiance may conquer this love I’m offering to you.

“I love you, my Princess.”

~For a Friend.

Untitled

2011-08-29T16:18:00.000+05:30

Have you ever wondered what you’ll write about today? You have your document open and your eyes are just glued to the blinking cursor wonder what to actually write and if it would be worth a read.
Even though there might be so much to write about such as Anna Hazare’s “half victory” (like I couldn’t care less) or maybe the gashing (and turning out to be quite irritating) rain over the past few weeks which has no mind of letting down or so many much more!
But you’re still staring at a blank document.

That is my current dilemma. I have no idea of what to write about! My exams are going on and I could write pages about my preparations and how things are at the examination hall and our discussions about the paper, but in the end it would just be another monotonous post which will be too long and boring to read!

Then there could be so many prompt posts and poems/fiction works which I so want to write about but I’m hardly getting any traffic and so no would read it. So what’s the point if I write something and I hardly get any views?

Entertainment. I can pretty much tell it goodbye because of my uber slow net connection and my stubborn parents ever refusing to put up a proper connection. I mean I can’t even view my pictures properly! The connection is so slow (1kbps!) that the image quality has to be reduced in order to view a webpage! Also downloading is a huge problem! For downloading a 3MB song/file it takes half an hour!!!! Forget about videos or uploading files and because of this I can’t watch any anime video properly or even read a manga properly!

Then there is me.
I really hate myself for being such a lazy bum and a contradictory person!
I mean if I think there is something which I have to do I go for it and then some other thought comes up and that lets me down. So I keep battling between good and bad and in the end I mess up things real good!

Pretty much a useless and pointless post.
Peace. X

Clock

2011-08-15T16:04:00.002+05:30

The seconds tick by –
One after the other.
Not bothering if they’re lost or found
Even as the gates close down –
They just go round and round.
The intricate designs of the clock
Do lest to slow down time.
Even after looking for such a long time
You continue to go in circles –
Playing a merry tune of tick-tock.
Father’s the fastest
Mother tries to keep up to that
The poor child is left behind
And yet they move in sync as a family.

The amazing photo you've seen was a pic taken by me. The quote was taken from a book which my bro gave and it is just amazing!
I mean it's just a book, with nothing but billions of quotes! *click*.

The Fear

2011-08-03T23:14:00.002+05:30

What is it that you’ve always feared? Is it the boogie man under your bed or a cockroach crawling near you? What are your reactions when you see or hear the above? Is it a dumbfounded wonderment or the shriek of your life?

The thing is that it varies from person to person.

The one who is neither scared of cockroaches or the boogie man could be scared of something trivial such as the human manikins seen in Disneyland or in the park near your house.

And just like everyone else I am a human and I have a fear too. I fear this fear so much that every time I think of it I try to shove it away but it is still there.
Unlike others I’m not scared of the dark or catching a cockroach and chasing after my brother with it (who is very scared of them) or going to a haunted house or heights.
I look at them and think of them as new adventures and mysteries which I can solve and then tackle them. That way it doesn’t even make me scared but makes me go wide-eyed and excited with a broad smile on my face because I’m in for an adventure.
But yet again, I am human. And I still have something that I fear a lot about.

I fear that I’ll forget things that I should not. I fear that all these memories which I have, and are so precious to me, would one day just – poof disappear into the dark abyss.

And that’s why I try to write down all the things which I feel are important immediately in my diary so that I won’t forget them.

I don’t know if any have observed this or not but after you have a dream and when you wake up and try to recollect it, do all the figments of the dream come? Or is it just bits and pieces? Do you remember the face of that stranger who leaves a profound mark when you’re awake?

I’ve had only vague recollection. Sometimes I recognize the place, but the person I don’t. All that I’m able to see is a smile and then the rest, his face and body, a complete blur.
I wonder why this happens…
And this is also the worst part of my fear. Most of the dreams I’ve had till now, I just forget them when I’m awake. There are only vague parts which I can remember and I recollect and rewind these and try to have them as a permanent imprint in my mind.

Even now, when I’m away from my (previous) school friends I fear that within a year or two, I might forget their faces, their accents, their handwriting and so many other qualities about them. So I once again try to rewind and replay all the memories, snapshots and moments I’ve had with them such that I won’t forget how it feels to be with them.
I think I might I have realized this late but I’m glad that I at least realized it now.
Pictures & Photographs play such an important role when it comes to remembrance.
Maybe it’s the tree in that photo or how the sky looked that day or might be that queer looking man in the background who could possibly *hit* the play button of a certain memory which you had forgotten and lets you to wash over all those feelings once again.
Even as I write this now, I regret because I’d never taken any photos of moments which I’d wanted to stay forever. I only have the one’s which my friends took. But I should be content and not repeat the same again.

Who knows, maybe science could have the answers for my queries and the unexplained or maybe even it is wondering why?
I don’t think this is a problem which needs a solution.
I think this is another unopened mystery box in my life that can be an adventure.

Separation

2011-08-02T10:31:00.000+05:30

She stood there watching her go.
They’d been together ever since she could remember.
“Beth, take this.” “Beth, look here.” “Beth read this!”
For always she’s shared every single moment with her.
And here she was, leaving her now – letting go of her.
The pain of separation.
She watched her twin taken away from foster.

Typhoon

2011-07-30T20:55:00.002+05:30

The moan, the cry, the wail –
I saw everything that night.
The huge leaves rustled like fiends –
Moaning with pain and felt the curse.

And still they did break and fall –
Like the cinders of a fireplace.
The sudden winds hurt them
They cried in vain, huddling together.

The rain lashed over them.
And they wailed as the pain once again stung them.
Banshees’ dreams arose deafening all –
Still, the strong winds knocked them out.
Yet they stood together, undefeated.

So the skies mustered and lighting as they planned.
The winds grew even stronger
And a mother’s cooing still failed to impress her child.
Then everything began falling down –
Pride, dignity, courage, defiance – shattered.
Like an empire accepting defeat truce was raised.

In the end, after a prayer
They were blessed with silent sobs –
That drizzled like the snow, healing their wounds.

Hell set free

2011-07-06T18:10:00.001+05:30

The fire wasn’t to cease
The heat grew evenly layer by layer
Just the way the other side shimmered
Above the flames sparks ignited
And horses came in view.
Slowly after they neighed
Falling petals replaced them and snow –
As red as and fiery as a dragon’s breath descended.
The sky turned crimson and dark –
Summoning the legend of our nightmares.
Smiles were swapped with angst
Our inner demons were wakened
Grasses lost their green turning away to ashes
When nasty Hell made his way.

Sweet x16!

2011-06-27T23:49:00.001+05:30

TODAY I’M 16. BUT THERE AIN’T A PARTY AND MOST OF ALL, I’M REALLY NOT WITH THE PEOPLE (FRIENDS) WHOM I’D DIE TO BE WITH.

Woah! 16 huh??? Feels like I’m 15 only! :D nothing much *great* happened today. It was the usual day but with an extra few phone calls and many texts, but was in a total rush to go to school!!
I wanted no one at school to know it was my birthday today because then there would be wishings and questions about party and etc etc – which I had no interest in doing here (at Mumbai). So I smiled most of my way around when they found out that it was my birthday today (thanks to tech like Facebook!).
But nevertheless one of the most fortunate things that happened to me today was that I got to speak with most of my Hyderabad friends (and text them more efficiently too)!! That was like the best thing of today! I mean it was even better than the face that I didn’t get any presents, (I told you it was the usual everyday type of day) chatting with old mates was worth everything! :D
What else?? Let’s see… I got drenched today when I went out to buy corn/take pics for an MMS to my friend. And I really hope I don’t catch a cold! O_O
School is good but still sucks at the same time.
Good – because of the lenient rules and regulation and timings.
Sucks – because it’s totally and fully ONLY academic (exams & syllabus). No extracurricular activities and my *oh-so-popular-school* is just a stupid 5-storyed building with many rooms! :X

Ahh… that’s it for now. Will start blogging *properly* soon. It’s my birthday today anyway. Btw really happy to see live clovers! :') though haven’t yet succeeded in finding a four-leaved one! :(

The day time stopped

2011-06-16T19:36:00.001+05:30

The day time stopped
We stood standing the fall.
Our fingers were intertwined
Yet we never felt them.
The ocean was right below us
And we couldn’t taste its saltiness.
Once there was the sound of seagulls
But now its hush all around.
I know you wore that cologne which attracted me
Now I just can’t smell it.
I know you are right next to me
Yet I see nothing but darkness.
The day time stopped
I was forever alone.

I don't know if you might like this because it doesn't even sound rhyming to me. I just wanted to write a "poem" (I hoped!) based on our 5 senses. Well I'm glad that I did that and now this also happens to be a sonnet (a poem with 14 verses exact) now! :D
Oh and by the way you see the pic in this post, I took it! :) It really does look like the petals are falling right (lol! reality check - they are not! :P) ? :D I took it with MY VERY OWN CAM (digi unfortunately)! So very proud of what I have done though. :)
You should see my flickr sometime. I'm posting my daily pics in it. Some might find them interesting while other might not. Also read the captions I hae for each of them! It's like writing a v.v.v.mini story and it's just awesome! :')

Slavery

❝ Your sound calls for me
I’ve always been your slave
And my sweetness you savour. ❞

Ten Things About Me

2011-06-10T18:10:00.004+05:30

I was tagged by Ayu & Selenium a few days back and this is my reply :P

RULES:
Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves.
You have to choose and tag ten people.
Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them.
No tags back.
Have fun!! :)

Ten Things About Me

I'm an Indian but I hate India for its messiness but love it for its freedom.
I've a wanderlust to go to Paris & Japan.
Even though most of my siblings (own & cousins) are very tall (above 5'9"), I'm still the shortest (5'4.5")!!!
I love being left alone in silence and having my own space of mind rather than being nagged around.
I really love gadgets, photography, anime, drams, Castle (TV Drama) & music (hate Indian but love Japanese, Korean, English).
I have a personal interested in learning Japanese and I already know two (only) characters! あ (Aa) and Ri (り)!
I love reading books. Especially fantasy & magic related. I hate the ones related to reality. I'm already having enough reality.
I’ve a guitar which I still don’t know how to play it (it will soon be 1 year since I bought it).
I wear contacts (transparent colour) due to my super high power (short-sightedness [-6]).
Finally, I hate the place I'm currently staying, which is Mumbai, and I long to return to my previous place, which is Hyderabad (lovely city!).

Ten People I Wanna Tag

Important Notice
Okay I' sure that by now you all must have seen my new layout. I know I keep changing my lay really too often but I've decided to stick to this because formal, nice and had a kind colour ♥.

Okay and this is pretty much it! :) Enjoy!

Torment

2011-06-07T15:40:00.004+05:30

After an eternity full of disturbance, it’s all finally over.
I get to be with you once again forever.
Yet you say this is the beginning of another war.
And hence you hid me away someplace far.

You say I’m safe with the Nephilims
But I feel safe only with you in your angelic arms.
As the sky grew darker
The Outcasts increased their number –
Knowing that I’m the price for their freedom
They began to hunt me down.

So, you fought my battles just like always
While I watched you from the side-lines in awe.

The Shadows that hovered around have now befriended me.
And when I look into them, I see the past –
The past which you never told me about,
The past about my life.

I can no longer take this anymore –
Your separation and my twisted untold destiny.

So the Shadows shall take me there
To rid my torment and find my lair.

Nephilim: Children of Fallen angels. (Partly human partly angel)

Outcasts: A particular rank of angels who stood next to Satan during the "revolt", but did not step into the underworld with him. Once the battle ended, they tried to return to heaven, but it was too late. Also when they tried to go to hell, Satan cast them out permanently, and left them blind. Nevertheless, the outcasts have a tremendous control of the other four senses (they are blind). In "torment", they chase Luce because they think that if they captured her, they will get back to heaven.

Shadows: Later named as 'Announcers' in the book can open portals to a person's past.
This is a poem/review of the book, Torment (sequel to Fallen).

The story of a web.

2011-05-04T13:06:00.000+05:30

The spider web hung loose amongst the corners of the wall. It hung there like a thin silver thread woven into intricate designs and unharmed by human touch. It looked like the hemline of a white gown, so pretty and docile…

Slowly water began to drip from the wall and began to fill in the webs' cords. In no time the water had completed its course and hung on to the web. From far the web now looked like a priceless diamond necklace. The wind blew and the web jittered. The water drops feel. Oh and their fall could be heard! It sounded like little pearls jumping off the steps, so sharp and tuned…

The web now hung there just as it’d been there before, without any water, just plain and bland. The wind blew again. But this time there was no water. The web began to waver slowly and gracefully. It knew it’s time had come. The little moments of beauty and fulfilment had again been replaced by its previous features of blandness.
It had understood its lesson. Beauty and pricelessness are temporary. Only originality is permanent. And as the wind continued to blow, the web slowly withered away meeting its end peacefully.

Churchgate

2011-05-01T22:45:00.003+05:30

Yesterday was one my most longest and tiring days in my shopping history! Well as you all know I'm in Mumbai now (unfortunately) I decided that I should go shopping here since Mumbai is the hub of fashion in India. So after doing researches (flipping through the newspapers) I learnt that Fashion Street and Colaba Causeway (they both are in the Churchgate area) are one of the best spots for shopping. So I headed there yesterday!

Chruchgate Area

Fashion Street didn't have any wow factors at all! I mean it just looked like a narrow passageway (that's the reason why it's called a 'street') with shops. But the problem was that most of the accessories were repeated in a hell lot of shops! So didn't succeed in buying much there.

However on the way to my next stop, Colaba Causeway, I came across a platform where there was a huge book rummage and I was so totally happy! :') In the end I bought three books.
The Last Battle of the Icemark (I'd read the first part of this book. Couldn't find the second part though), Septimus Heap - Magyk (first timer) and a Manga (basically a huge collection of binded ones)!!
I was actually looking for a 'Easy to Learn Japanese Book' but since I couldn't find it I settled with the manga! :D

Last Battle of the Icemark, Magyk and Manga!

And after that I went to Colaba Causeway (finally!) where I bought loads!

Antique Pocket Watch with Paris, embedded

New in fashion, Owl Chain


White Shirt (fold able sleeves)	Blue & White Striped Shirt (fold able sleeves)


Brown and White Striped Vintage Shirt with floral designs	Satin Brown thinly Pleated Skirt plus a white shirt with brown border and embroidered roses

So basically Colaba Causeway is a huge lane full of stretched roads with platforms studded with shops. Amongst one of the many shops there was a shop where they were selling old music records and gramophones and old-age cameras!


Gramophone	Vintage Cameras

And thus that was my yesterday! :')

21st Century

2011-04-06T23:17:00.004+05:30

It was almost over. There were only a few pieces left to complete it. It was mostly made up of glass and silica. Hot glass was melted and moulded into beautiful curves of crystal. As a matter of fact it looked like a huge crystal made up of tiny glass crystals.

However the peculiar part was that it camouflaged perfectly to the surroundings. Since it was glass, it reflected back everything perfectly. It was the masterpiece of a magic trick. Also it was a huge labyrinth in the inside.

The man who designed it, Mr.Deu, had planned its structure long back. Long before than when Einstein was born. So one may think how come he’d know about glass and silica when they weren’t even invented. The answer is simple.

He Time Travelled.

He was an adamant man. He’d built his own machine. he used signs and the positions of the moon to manoeuvre the dates and times. It was said that he had travelled even farther than the 30th century and had seen the advancements of that era.

Sadly he couldn’t fabricate everything to that of the 30th century. He knew he had to wait. Time had its own course which should not be disturbed. Therefore he preserved those ideas in a huge book. It was even bigger than the dictionary. All the places and ideas he had seen and thought of, he preserved them in that book.

And now his successors got the book in their grasps. So they began to interpret his ideas. And thus they began the construction the Glass Crystal. They were building it as an hideout for their task of world domination.

The following post is a reply to a prompt at 3WW.

Sorry if you guys thought that this post was kinda too sassy! :D

Kind of a small update but big news. Well you see the thing is that my dad has got transferred to Mumbai and now I have to shift there. So that means new school, new friends and new everything! :O !! Even some of the pics are going to be new! :D Well I got accepted into the new school (I passed the entrance!) and school has started. But packing hasn't. So that means I'll be plugged off from my world of Internet, Anime, Music, Dramas and especially Blogging for a very very very long time. It's like going to be a month or so. So I won't be able to blog till then. And therefore this is to say that I'm kind of going to be on a slight indefinite hiatus for a while. But I'll try my best to post once in a while against my busy schedule.
So, till then don't keep my blog dead 'cause I'll soon be back with a BANG! :D

Hoping in the Dark

2011-03-24T17:06:00.001+05:30

Under the dim light from my lantern
I write the feelings of my heart in this cavern.
The dim light glows bright in the darkness
Freedom remains a cherished dream in my reverence.
No matter where I look the sky remains the same
Lest bother about the shooting star I could never tame.
The dim flame of cobalt blue
Assures me of hope that could be true.
Even after tears have flown and left me dry
I know it’s pointless to think of cry
And I wait dreaming the same dream
‘Cause the thought of separation makes me scream.
This haven has served me a lot
It made me cherish moments that I can never forget.
But the nightmares still continue
Even when the sun is up high
Freedom still remains behind the bars.
What little can hope do
When my heart is tied in knots
As the lantern began to dim it’s glow
And engulf me in its darkness.

Hey guys! My exams are finally over for GOOD! :D So that means full on blogging and computer n anime for me! :D :D :D But… I feel really bad because my dad has got transferred and now I’ve to leave this city! :( :( And I’m so going to miss it here! So right now I’m like going all out and having loads of fun with friends! :) :)

Raised By Wolves

2011-02-21T12:48:00.001+05:30

Adopted by the Alpha of a werewolf pack after a rogue wolf brutally killed her parents right before her eyes, fifteen-year-old Bryn knows only pack life, and the rigid social hierarchy that controls it. That doesn't mean that she's averse to breaking a rule or two.
But when her curiosity gets the better of her and she discovers Chase, a new teen locked in a cage in her guardian's basement, and witnesses him turn into a wolf before her eyes, the horrific memories of her parents' murders return. Bryn becomes obsessed with getting her questions answered, and Chase is the only one who can provide the information she needs.
However her life encounters a twist when she is brutally punished by her pack and manages to bleakly survive it. And then begins her journey, finding out the truth behind Chase, their connection and even forming a new family.

Raised by Wolves is a novel written by Jennifer Lynn Barnes which has received well applauses from the famous author Melissa Marr and other critics.

I'm sorry to tell this guys, but I'll be gone on an indefinite Hiatus for a long time. Will probably be back to blogging only after my boards get over, which will be around the 23^rd of March. Farewell was held day before yesterday and school's over for me now! :'(. Will post pics of it... after my boards get over only :P btw changed my lay! :D Hope you'll like it! ;)

The essence of the cherry blossom was felt throughout the whole forest. It smelled pure and right. I could feel my soul being drawn to it. It’s pink and light colours soothed my mind. Even though I remember seeing it vaguely on my way home I could never lose the feeling of its presence. I can even now picture that tree. Empty branches withered of happiness. Yet a few buds clung on to it not willing to lose hope. They were ready to begin again in spring.

I was always a practical thinker. But when I saw the cherry blossom tree I felt it blossom in my own heart and I could feel the purity within it flow through me. It was the sole survivor of an epidemic just the way I was. I was the only one to have my life spared when I saw my whole family slaughtered before my own eyes. So yes, I knew what it felt to be lonely and not having your own kin by your side when you need them the most. And that’s why it is my duty to save this sole survivor too.

I didn’t take the dare serious at first. But when I came closer to the tree I could its need. Its need to touch me to revive it just the way it’d revived my emotionless heart. I was only five paces away from it and I knew this was a test of courage and believability. i moved forward and the distance between us reduced to nil. And then I touched it.

As soon as I’d touched it I could feel all the emotions and feelings it’d trapped within itself. All of them entered into my heart in an upsurge to fill in the hollow empty space I’d within me. And finally it ended. I was filled with emotions I never knew before. I could happiness and sadness and so many other feelings and it all felt new to me. I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them again to see that the tree had shrivelled off and nothing was left of it.

Except for a small seed. I picked it up and planted it in a warm and damp place. I knelt down to and whispered, “Thank you for unlocking the feelings of my heart.”

Hello! I’ve got a load of great plus sad new for you guys! :)

First off, I’ve got the first prize in Julie’s Banner making contest! :D I went "Yay! OMG! I never thought I’d win" when I read my e-mail! :D Well I’m going to post that pic so that even you guys can see it. :)

Full size Image
Next up I’m loving books more than ever! And I recently noticed that if I started a book I cannot do anything else unless and until I finish it! I mean it happened when I was reading “The Keeper’s Tattoo” and “Raised by Wolves”! I just couldn’t keep the book away from me! I don’t whether it was the story or my mind which did that! Anyway I’ll soon be posting the reviews of the books which I’d read earlier. I’m sorry I just can’t do anything now because I’ve got my exams : The Boards! D:

The Keeper’s Tattoo by Gill Arbuthnott
Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Possessed by Kate Cann
Love is Hell by Various Authors.

I’ve got a new book about ghost. It’s kind of like an encyclopaedia about ghosts except it’s a small book! :'( not big and heavy! But I find it really useful so I might tell you guys about that too! :D

I’m kpoping a lot now! I always try to catch Live Power Music on Animax every Sunday morning so that I can see the bests of K-Pop! I mean i everyday go to this kpop based web site called koreakpop.com which reviews the latest of kpop and kdrama. Right now my MP3 is shuffling only with kpop, Ke$ha and other various English artists! I'll put a list of my favs soon. :) I swear after these exams get over I’m going to hook myself to kdrama and Japanese movies. I’m listing down all that I got to watch, which includes my all-time fav animes too! :)

Then… I’m starting to write a lot in my diary and I really hope I write some more good poems! I feel like I’m losing the touch and I really don’t want that to happen! :O ! I’m going more on my style now-a-days. Cut my hair to give it a fringe look and my friends love it! :) It really looks awesome and I’m so glad to get rid of my previous look: straight long hair!

Got the shock of my life today: Minho doesn’t look good at all in the Lucifer video! He looked awesomely cute in Ring Ding Dong. I wish he had the same hairstyle! :'( Forgive me please because I recognized and memorized the SHINee band members today only! :(

Minho: Ring Ding Dong

And yes, you can listen to some of my favs in the top playlist. Contains the best of kpop (includes SHINee too!)! Will add some more soon when i get the time.

Continue to follow my blog! I've reached 140+ and I'm so happy for that! Thank You Very Much! :)

That's it for now!
Anyway I got to go now and I’m going to be on a very long hiatus!
See you guys after Feb 9th! :) And please keep my blog live n rockin’! :D

2011-01-21T17:26:00.000+05:30

All I think about is you.
Right now, right this moment.
Your absence leaves my heart insecure
The cages of protection are falling apart
I wonder if you can hear it,
The wail of my lone heart,
So desperate to see you, feel you and be with you.
The coldness of my heart is melting away
From the warmth of the sun
Which is growing hotter by the day
However it is for your warmth that I wait
To melt away the frozen feelings I have for you
I wonder if you ever think about me
Even though I still think about you

The Sweetest Christmas Gift

2011-01-17T18:34:00.000+05:30

So my dear friend Susan requested me to give her three words so that she could make a story after she'd given me 3words to write a story for her. It had happened over 2-3 days ago but since I was busy I couldn't post it earlier in my blog. :'(
Sorry!
[Read her requested words post here.]
I asked her to make a story with the words: Catastrophe, Fun & Camera in the beginning. Then she told that the story would be really sad and tragic because of the word "Catastrophe" so she asked if I wanted to change it. And I agreed to because I wasn't ready for tragedies that day. And so I replaced catastrophe with Fortunate. And so she wrote a story using the 3 words: Fortunate, Fun & Camera.

The Sweetest Christmas Gift

It's kinda unexpected if you think back again about what happened last christmas.
it's a very disapointing year, so i thought the christmas would be very much disapointing too.
no gifts from my parents, no happy dinner, no christmas tree..
because my family's financial is not that good; my dad just resigned himself, so i didn't expect much in that one-day christmas. but who know what will happen, right?

i mean nothing is impossible.

then, the miracle happens.
just when i thought the worst are going to come, santa claus give me the best christmas gift ever!

My parents both saved their money and bought a DSLR camera for me!

i burst into tears, i hugged my mom immediately once i saw the lovely gift that i had ever wished for.

and then, that seconds, i realize although my family don't have that much money, i still am the most fortunate children in the world.
i hug that camera, and i started clicking the snap button repeatedly.
since then, my life has never been more fun.

“That girl – the nerve she would have had to do it! I cannot believe that SHE out of all the people I know and trust would do such a thing like that!”

Everyone could hear Marcus stomping and cursing her when he walked in the corridor.

“Ellena what you did was the last straw! I never thought that you would ever do that to me. You just betray me and continue your life not even bothering to come to me and tell what you were doing! I cannot believe you!”

His pace was increasing and he could see their colourful garden approach.

Ellena was standing next to the fountain. She was looking at the water as it gurgled out of the gargoyle’s mouth. Marcus blushed seeing her.

“Unbelievable”, he uttered and stood next to her.

“Do you have any idea of how you make my life so complicated? I’m sure you still remember the deal we had.”

“Of Course I do! You didn’t think that I’d let you alone to water our garden now would you?” she said with a smile.

“What! Then what was it that I heard every one at the dorm discuss about you watering this place with someone else?” Marcus asked her, confused.

She gave out a small chuckle which sounded like the ringing of silver bells. “I said that so that you can come here immediately and snap out of your tensed workshops for a while.”

“What that’s all?”

“Yes, now shall we water? It’s getting late.”

“As you say so.”

My dear friend Susan asked me to write something using the three underlined words (complicated, girl, colour) in this post. At first when I saw those words I remembered Avril Lavigne's Complicated. It's really a nice song and the lyrics to some what mean the same as the story. Except it will be boy who'd make the things complicated for Avril in the song whereas it's vice-versa here! :D

I was seeing it, though everything was looking strange. I mean the cat looked like it was walking on the walls and the strangest part of all was that none of its hair was standing nor was it clutching the wall with its paws. It was simply walking and looked purely harmless!

Suddenly my hat fell off and I began to wonder how that could happen. Slowly my hair too dropped down and I could feel it touch the moist ground. I looked down and I saw the river. I could see the fishes too. And the cat on top of it all was waiting to pounce on one.

I let out a small laugh when I thought of how scared the cat would be if it fell in the water.

Then I yelped when I realized that I was upside down in the roller coaster ride and it was not moving! I could sense the fear rising in me and then a wave of reassurance swept by as soon as the coaster’s engine started.

The above post is a response to a prompt at 3WW. The words are: harmless, moist and yelp.

Letter of Appreciation

2011-01-04T18:03:00.000+05:30

Dear You,
Thank you so much for what you’ve told about me to my friend. It doesn’t even matter if you didn’t tell it to me directly. At least you had the courage to tell to someone else. And I think that is better than not telling at all.
I never thought I would ever meet such a nice person in my whole life. Now that I’ve seen the real you and have truly known you, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I believe that you are a nice person too. Only others are not able to see that.
Don’t you ever feel guilty of what happened in the past. After all life goes on. You don’t have a stop button in life to stop that moment and feel guilty about it. You only have a stuck play button which never stops.
Move with the flow so that you will feel the flow moving with you.
Believe me, you’re really a nice person. And I like that fact [not fiction] very much!
Once again thank you so much for what you’d told earlier and never forget who you really are.

The Closing Night

2010-12-31T23:32:00.000+05:30

This biting cold holds behind a warm promise
All eyes look at the brightening sky
A spark of hope arises when the new sun rises
The mind – ready for new thoughts to set it
Shrivels away thoughts of the previous year
Time slips from our fingers
And makes its way for the heavenly blue
Getting ready to tick for the coming aeon.
The thundering night gives its way
When the closing night ends its play.

Today is the 31st of December 2010. In a few more hours (IST) a new year will begin. A new beginning.

Happy New Year! :)

Time to gift my elves.

2010-12-21T22:56:00.001+05:30

When the first snow comes
The land goes white.
My dear little friends,
'Tis time we do our right,
And in return will you all receive my gift.
I cannot believe that one year has already passed by so swiftly after I’d played the wondrous game, ‘Secret Santa’ which is truly a great souvenir for Christmas. And it all feels like it happened just yesterday. I can still remember the picture I was choosing for this post and the tiny poem I wrote for it too.
Time really does fly when you are enjoying your life.
And I am really glad that I played that game. Last year I got a gift from Deeksha. It was a laughing Buddha and a pen. Seriously. I couldn’t believe that she gave me that. And she started to act all goody goody about the gift.
But still I had to be content with what I’d received because after all it was Christmas. A time for joy.
I played it again this year too. It was twice the fun and a bit of a menace too. Thanks to Deesksha, once again.
She got the name of the one girl she hated the most in the class (because of a fight she had with her long ago) and she was like, “I’m sorry people but can we exchange the chits again. I don’t want to give this person the gift. Please let us exchange”. I wanted to tell her then and there that – “No way! You have to give that person the gift. That is the essence of Christmas. To forgive and forget.”
But let’s just say that she is one hot-headed stubborn… girl. She didn’t pay any heed to my advice and I felt like shit for wasting my time over her. So I angrily went over and re-made the chits.
I still hate her though.
And so we played again and I was so happy with the person I got!
It was Ujjwala. My bench mate. I promised myself to get her something really cute and sweet that will make her smile till galaxy’s reach and have the best gift ever this Christmas.
I hope I did though. I got her a cute white purse for her Blackberry and a Cinnamoroll plushie.
I really hope that she’ll like it! I’ll keep in her bag silently tomorrow! :D

Stories of the Past.

2010-12-18T23:11:00.000+05:30

Ruined

By Paula Morris

Rebecca couldn't feel more out of place in New Orleans, where she comes to spend the year while her dad is traveling. She's staying in a creepy old house with her Aunt Claudia, who reads Tarot cards for a living. And at the snooty prep school, a pack of filthy-rich girls treat Rebecca like she's invisible. Only gorgeous, unavailable Anton Grey seems to give Rebecca the time of day, but she wonders if he's got a hidden agenda. Then one night, in Lafayette Cemetery, Rebecca makes a friend. Sweet, mysterious Lisette is eager to talk to Rebecca, and to show her the nooks and crannies of the city.

There's just one catch.

Lisette is a ghost.

A ghost with a deep, dark secret, and a serious score to settle.

As Rebecca learns more from her ghost friend -- and as she slowly learns to trust Anton Grey -- she also uncovers startling truths about her own history. Will Rebecca be able to right the wrongs of the past, or has everything been ruined beyond repair?

It really good book worth reading. It has a really good history of the forgotten city of New Orleans which was later remembered after Hurricane Katrina hit it. After that here is one story written by the author, Paula Morris in respect to the city and the renovations it is undergoing. All in all it is an amazing book.

The end is a nostalgic dream.

2010-12-11T09:29:00.002+05:30

The End is a nostalgic beginning.-Yosuga no Sora (ヨスガノソラ)
It’s been a while since I wrote down something like this! Also I'm really glad that I’d finished “Terror in the City” though I really wanted it to go longer. As a matter of fact I wanted to turn it into a book!

But time factor and laziness slowed me down. ._.

So I wasn’t able to extend to and I feel that I’ve finished it fastly and abruptly.

Blogs apart let me tell how my life is now.

School’s a pain/ always giving us projects and assignments with deadly deadlines! And we have to end up doing late night works too just to meet them!
But group work is fun! :) You get to know your friends even better.
And ofcourse, how can I miss the mischievous parts when I entangled my friend’s hair with thread which she wasn’t able to remove it! :D

And I’ve finally finally got a phone! :) It’s a Motorola W270 and I really love it! It’s flip and whenever I use it I feel like I'm in an anime/an anime character! :D But it lacks a camera. :(
~My Awesome Phone~

Speaking of anime, I’ve got so many to catch up! :( Like Kobato, Shugo Chara, xxxHOLiC Kei, Shuffle! and Yosuga no Sora.
But Yosuga no Sora is an anime which I started to watch this week only. But I'm still in episode two only. ._. It will take a while before I’ve finished that anime even though it’s got only 11 episodes! [ I know I suck!]

Music ~ ~ ~ la la la! I'm going K-pop! :D
Really the Koreans beat every single Japanese/English artists. Well atleast they haven’t beaten Ke$ha yet. And by the way her new song “We R Who We R” rocks!! I just can’t wait till I get to see its vid.
Super Junior, Shinee, Girls’ Generation are all carved at the place I live :) These guys are like so awesome! Their vocals, lyrics, videos, dance moves, they rock totally. Well Super Junior is the best and Shinee too! I was just seeing some music award video where Super Junior played and they were awesome! It was so “WOW”! They sang and dancd to their hits, ‘Bonamana’ and ‘Sorry Sorry!’. Shinee’s ‘Ring Ding Dong’ is uber awesome. I love the chorus and their moves. And all these guys are like super cute! :D

Not to mention the girls, Girls’ Generation (SNSD) and 2NE1 [I like just listened to them!] they rock too. 2NE1 raps real good.

And oh so many things have happened! I was going through my previous blogposts and I saw I’d done so many literary works. However I guess I'm going to slow them down a bit and write about my life for a while.

Oh and one more thing: Don’t be surprised if I’ve changed ‘cause I'm unpredictable.

I hope you like this new layout. :) It's totally entirely made by me! starting from the codes to the graphics! :D [except for the background that is. ._.]

Terror in the City // 5

2010-12-07T17:30:00.001+05:30

#5: Reverie

I ran. I ran as fast as I could. I knew she would catch up to me in no time. Who knows, if she could scream well, I bet she could run well too.
“Hey wait up! Stop running!”
Oh no! She is catching up to me.
I knew this was the end. I would probably be in a juvenile with thugs worse than me.

“Buzz… Buzz… Buzz”
Great! My phone had to ring now, of all time!
I flipped it open and saw that it was my mom.
Nice timing mom! Right when I'm running for my life before I could end up in a juvenile.

I hit the answer button.
And I bumped into someone as soon as I’d hit it.
I looked up and saw that it was the redhead.

My efforts were in vain for her grip was tight.
“Hey hold it! Why are you running away from me? But can you please tell me why you killed my friend?”

“I …I… Can’t tell you that. What I do belongs to me, because I have my own reasons. You have no right to know them.” I wanted to get away from her as fast as I could.

“I promise I won’t tell it to anyone”

There was a sound of reassurance in her voice. It felt like I could trust her. It felt like I could finally trust someone.

“Oo…oh…Okay. I killed your friend because I thought that he was going to harm you. In the night I can hear things. I can hear the cry of innocent people fight for their freedom from the grasp of evil - evil that they can’t handle on their own. I don’t need any GPS to pin point their location. Their desire to be free leads me to them. And then I free them.
I don’t like to see bloody kills. So, I kill them using their mind and my psychic powers to manipulate their thoughts to turn them against themselves.
Blood in mind doesn’t matter me. But blood in sight does. So I finish it off that way.”

“But do you think killing is the only way?” She asked me with a pleading look in her eyes which bore into my caged heart and ripped it open setting my wings free.

“… I don’t know”

“Killing isn’t always an option. But forgiving is. What you have is a gift. A gift to do good. Don’t bring havoc and chaos using it. It will soon control you, if you continue to do bad things with it. Use it wisely.”

I kept looking at her as her words were seeping into my mind. I didn’t know how my mind could accept all this but it did.

“Who are you? Why do I feel like I know you?”

She smiled - a slow smile. “I'm the person whom you have always wanted to be - the inner you. Wake up before its too late. Wake up for a better tomorrow.”

And she disappeared just like that. Fading into the thin air leaving me in this eerie night of revelations and truth.

I knew tomorrow was going to be different and I knew even I was different.

Tomorrow night was going to have a whole different meaning.

It's Over! :) Finally finished this long story which I'd been kinda lazy to finish! :D

Terror in the city // 4

2010-11-29T17:32:00.001+05:30

#4: ConnivingI came out of my trance. I let go of the man. His body was still paralyzed with the terror seen through his eyes. He was looking at the sky and was twitching his body not knowing what was doing or what even happened. He was in a coma and would probably die in a few hours.

I turned towards my side to see what had caused that scream.

I found the redhead on the floor covering her ears and eyes tightly shut and taking in deep gasps of breath. When she noticed that I was looking at her,

“Why did you do that?!! How can you ever kill a person like that??! What you did to that poor man was truly horrifying. I don’t even think that he’d be able to come out of such a shock. I think – …”

“Poor man? Excuse me lady if it hadn’t been for me you would have died in the hands of your poor man! Just be happy that I saved you from him, else you would be in the skies now!”

“I'm sorry but this poor man is actually my partner in a play at my university. We were practicing here because the backdrop was just as in the script.”

When she said that it was just a practice for a play, I went into a shock. Never had I in my whole life ever been wrong in my kills.

I didn’t know if she was telling the truth of if she was lying because what she had acted was so real.

I heard the police sirens from far. Her scream did have the pitch.

I looked at the man and prayed god that he would be alright or even what he was doing was an act too.

Probably pulling out a prank right this instant.

I didn’t wait afterwards and dashed out the labyrinth after sensing the terror in me.

Forgotten Promise

2010-11-26T18:23:00.000+05:30

In a garden full of withered roses
Old memories rush like ashes.
The River of Death flows nearby
And my heart’s swollen of cry.
Tears in this darkness seemed like elixir
An elixir that made happiness disappear.
The sky was dark and lonely
And I stood with no one beside me.
Cry – I did all day long
Standing in this sentry where I don’t belong.
Having faith in the words you said
Waiting for you to come home. Wretched,
I drench in this dark rain
Fallen for your forgotten promise in vain.

Cards.

2010-11-24T17:53:00.001+05:30

It was time to make his move. He was wondering if it would be the right one.
He was caught up in moving the Jack against the King. The queen was the last and the last of his worries. He knew that whatever would happen she would be safe.
So he thought of taking her in. But then the thought of the whole event in his head and realized that she would change the game and advance him and also take it all to a whole new level.

He put her forward and said, “Your turn”.
“Nice move mate. However, you see I shuffled the deck and I arranged the cards in such a way that it would come to this decision. I knew you would make this move. So I had an Ace in my side. None of your Kings/Jacks can save you now.”

I gaped. I was shocked. I hadn’t realized that he’d pander himself to this extent just to win it. I couldn’t let it happen. It’s all wrong. Playing cards like this.

Suddenly my eyes set on a pair of cards stuck together. I removed them. I saw the King hiding a Joker.

So the king was worried about his queen after all. With the joker, I can win this game and turn over the tables.

I put the Joker forward.

“The game’s over mate”, I said to my reflection in the mirror.

Terror in the city // 3

2010-11-23T17:57:00.001+05:30

#3: The KillI walked close to the man. His smile broadened. This must be the best night in his life. Hitting two birds with one stone.
“Leave her alone”, I said with a hidden tone of terror in m voice, which sounded like a low growl.
“No way! Not tonight girlie, because luck seems to be on my side. And I won’t give in that easily.” He showed his golden tooth when he said ‘easily’ and that was really nauseating. This guy was pricking on my nerves.
“Fine. Have it your way. But you better know that lady luck isn’t always at your side.” He took a step back as soon as I’d said that and immediately I sent a wave of terror, which took him by surprise.
He became paralyzed and I saw the fear in his eyes.
I went close to him and started to peer deep into his eyes.
I began to connect his mind with mine and once that was done, I began to kill him. Slowly - in his mind.
I thought of gagging him and then punching him in the stomach with my knee. I even sent out a message: Better stay away from young girls you slut.
I was going to finish him by hitting his head on the concrete pavement when a scream startled me out of my psychic trance.

Terror in the City // 2

2010-11-19T12:45:00.001+05:30

#2 : The Hunt
The night was pitch black and silent. I could hear my boots hitting the pavement as I walked. The alley was cold and lonely. Any normal person would have been scared if they’d walked in here.
And I felt the fear of a recent one. Her fear was etched across the walls. She was probably looking for a way out of this endless labyrinth of streets and had ended up getting lost.
I went ahead. Far away I saw the outline of a small figure, a woman, bent down with the head looking up at a man. It looked like she was pleading or begging for mercy.
The woman looked as if she was in her early twenties. She wore a dark jean and had a dull grey shirt. Her hair was flaming red like a ruby. She was the right girl in the wrong place, probably got lost in search of a dance bar.
The man on the other hand was a slut. He was stocky one with a lot of hair. I mean really hairy. Something glistened in his mouth as the lamp-posts’ light reflected. My guess was that it might be a golden tooth.
I looked like a dark golden dust dressed in black with the blonde hair dancing to the night’s wind.
I loved this night.
I have found my prey.

#1: The Freedom“Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…” My phone vibrated. I woke up sleepily and flipped it open to see what time it was. It read '12:00 AM'. My sleepiness disappeared instantly because I hunt my preys, in the city, at this time of the night. It has always been like this every since I left my home when I was 16.
I left because I just couldn’t bear my mom. She and her constant lectures on me being perfect, it was so sick that the very thought makes me nauseous.
I'm sure that she always saw me as a little girl back then. And I bet she does so even now.
She had me caged. She never let me out, even when my wings had spread.
She was the one who changed me from a bird to a beast. A savage beast that kills in the night.
A shrill cry pierced the night. It was the cry of an innocent soul battling its enemy. Battling for freedom.
And it will be I who will free it.
Me. Angie, the savage beast of the night.

Memories

2010-10-20T13:58:00.001+05:30

The effect of the fireflies lasted long. Their images were etched in her memory. The shimmer of their glow was unforgettable - the buzz of their wings in the silence of the night. Nostalgia clung to her. A tear swept through her cheeks as she thought of their nightly freedom.
Their impact on her was immense.
She was once a firefly in the golden days of the yore but had switched her body to a human for a man she loved.
Only when she hit reality did she know that the man was nothing but a picture taken long ago.

He knew tampering with the Triads would do no good. It would just draw their attention and would give them the perfect time to kill him. He was surrounded on all sides by wall. There was nowhere to go. His jet was also running on empty fuel. Fear began to engulf him. He began to sweat and the nauseating feeling of death stuck in his throat. He sensed their moves and realized they were closing in on him. Their attack was imminent and so was his defeat. He closed his eyes and suddenly, all the lights went out. It was a power-cut.
He let out a sigh in relief as his game shut before he could die.

Day 05 - Your Dreams

2010-09-27T18:03:00.001+05:30

Dear Dreams,
Do you have any idea of how much I think about you everyday! When I'm in the examination hall after writing the exam I just stare into nothingness thinking about you. I feel sad for other people who have transfixed their dream on one thing and try to just achieve it. I don’t blame them for anything. But I’d love to encourage them :) I have so many dreams of you :) and one important thing is that I'm not going to stick to just one thing. I want to do various things and be and live in different places. I won’t care about what others will stay that I will become unstable and won’t be able to pursue them all. I have two ears and I'll let them out from each one. I dream of many things. I dream of being a cosplayer to a fashion designer to a web designer or simply an author. Or do nothing at all and just laze around.

I want to be many! Not just one and I certainly want more.Just you wait. I'll do and show you.
Your eternal dreamer,
Tharangni

I know I haven't been on the sequence, but forgive me because of my exams! From today on I won't stop till 25 days are over :)

Betroth Me

2010-09-08T23:04:00.000+05:30

The lapping of waves
And toes tingling in the maze
The wisp of saltiness hits my face
And the night went younger by day.

Creatures of mellow
Roamed unseen.
When a young triumphant fellow
Began cruising amongst the stars.
I saw him in awe
Riding past in no flaw.

A sudden motion triggered the land
Yet an unknown despair clung the lad.

He roamed the seven seas
In search for me
Melting the ice
And cooling the fire
Befriending the entire.

Years went by
And I waited for no good-bye.
He finally came forward
And knelt ahead
With a ring his hand.
“My fair lay,
Will you betroth me?”

Lol :) This is my attempt in writing a poem about marriage! :D [don't laugh if you think its funny!]

Guess what, now that you’re not here I’ve unlimited freedom to do whatever I want with anything I want and I'm never going to be chained to you now. But still you could have gone after Rakhi, because all my friends got gifts from their brothers. But you, escaped!
I also told my friends about me getting your phone later on, and they were all so excited!
So hurry up and finish your exams soon!
By the way, the little green wish glass bottle and the key chain I gave you on my birthday are still here.
Take them the next time you come here.

Yours,

I know that you guys try your best in making me happy all the time, and I must say
Thank You for that.
These days however I kind of feel that you are being low in the dumps if I’ve got any good news.
None of you seem happy now. And I want you to be happy all the time.
And yes, of course even I’m there to depress you at times with my 'yes’s' and 'no’s'.
But I'm only being me, and believe me; no one can stop me from being me.
But I'll still listen to you guys, because that’s what I’ve got to do for the next few years until one day, when I'm on my own.
So till then I'll rely on you. And once again, Thank You.

Yours,

Hi! I never thought I’d do this, but here I am writing about you - you, whom I never talked about to my friends, or to anyone else, except me.
Did you know that every secret moment I get to be with you, I'm so happy? I smile all day long and I rewind and replay the moments again and again. Yet I only wish reality wasn’t bitter.
I’ve got a character, which I’ve to control and I should not let it slip out.
On the outside I may look nonchalant when I talk with you. But in the inside I thump with joy so much, that I hide my smile.
These are my feelings for you, and yet I don’t know if you feel the same for me. And this is one question, which I keep asking everyday. And even today.
What do you feel about me?

Yours,

Hi! It’s been a while since I wrote you a letter.
Do you what I feel about you right now? I feel that you’re drifting away from me.
And it makes me sad. I wish we could go back to the days when we used to have lots of fun.
When you and I used to smile, gossip and cry. I really wish you would get better soon.
The hospital must have been horrible for you. And you know what I wish from you?
I wish that you would be the strongest person in the whole wide world and the kindest one too.
People misinterpret you at times. But I don’t listen to what they say. I tell them that you’re the best and to mind their own business if they don’t know you well. I want you to stand on your own feet and stop being dependent to others. I want you to be who you can be and along that road I will help you be it and at the same time be your best friend forever.

Yours truly,
Tharangni.

2010-08-18T17:56:00.002+05:30

Everyone has a dream
To reach their destined star
The heart and mind work as a team
The heart chases feelings that are far
And the mind creates the path.

Everyone has a dream
Which they wish upon a fallen star
And when happiness beams,
They know it won’t char.

Because everyone has a dream
And when they close their eyes,
They see it, it seems.

Sorry again for not having posted all these days! I was having my Science Unit Test so I had to prepare and so I'd been hitting the books for past two days Well My next UT isn't until next Wednesday, so I guess I'll be alive till Sunday

I dream of that day

Hope for Peace

2010-08-11T18:07:00.001+05:30

Going beyond the Ring of Fire is no joke. Because on the other side waited Hell. One could say that the Ring of Fire unlike the normal fire was a protector apart from a destroyer. It protected the people from the Gates of Hell. It channeled their negative and hatredness outside the ring. Rotten thoughts, forgotten memories and lost objects were all left in Hell. The Ring of Fire was the remedy to evil, some people said.
However nothing lasts forever and right now the fire is fading away and the darkness is looming in. Horrors of the past come as nightmares and the angry spirits are doing their havoc.
The ring is losing its leverage.
No one knows why. Poverty is increasing, death toll is increasing, and even Mother Nature has gotten so angry that she’s creating floods and landslides.
And still no one knows what to do. All we can hope for is peace. Let’s hope for peace and revive the Ring of Fire.

This work is purely fictional and is totally from my imagination. I do not know if there is anything such as the Ring of Fire. It’s all part of my imagination is spreading the word that evil/badness is taking over the good. Global warming, poverty, climatic change etc. is what I’ve tried to focus on.

This post has been posted by me for 3WW for the date August 11 2010. The words are: Joke, Leverage, Remedy.

Field of Thoughts.

2010-08-10T18:54:00.000+05:30

Narrow mind with thoughts.
Exploring beyond the line.
When I imagine.

This is my very first attempt in writing a Haiku. From the rules I've learnt, haiku is a very short composition consisting of 3 lines with syllables in each line of the order: 5/ 7/ 5.
Believe me, even till today I don't know what exactly syllable means. I tried to figure out the vowels in the words but I ended up figuring out wrong. So I used this to keep track of my syllables.

This is a response to a prompt at Haiku Heights. "Prompt #3: Field"

Summer Love

2010-08-07T20:40:00.000+05:30

In this white snowdrop background
My true feelings are hardbound
Mixing with the falling snow
My crystal tears seem to glow
And this frozen heart
Waits for winter to depart

My feelings unfurl in the summer
When the sun shines fuller
My dormant heart begins to melt
And brims with joy
When my summer prince finally arrives.

It's been a pretty long time since I'd written a poem. So that's why its kind of small. Promise the next ones will be long enough

Fairy tale

2010-08-04T19:08:00.002+05:30

What she was thinking was easy to predict.
It was written all over her face.
The feeble dreams of a mortal are so easy to vanquish.
All you have to do is give them the fairy drink,
And they will become one of us.
The price they pay is a painful one.
They give up their mortality and feelings to the devil.
And when she opened her eyes,
The fairytale ended.

This post has been posted by me for 3WW for the 3rd of August. The words are: Drink, Feeble, Predict.

First Sunday of the Eighth Month

2010-08-01T19:30:00.002+05:30

The first Sunday of the Eighth month is celebrated as "Friendship Day" worldwide.
So, Happy Friendship Day everyone!
I can't believe that ONE year has already passed Last year too, I wrote a post on celebrating friendship day and there was only one thing common: I was studying both the time.
My life's been taken over by school now-a-days! I hardly get time to think about blogging [not that I watch animes online-regardless ]. All I've been doing is Assignments and Projects one after the other! And once they are over, its exam time already!
Oof! I so hate 10th grade!

Doodling! - My First Set Of Smilies

2010-07-29T19:44:00.000+05:30

So I was surfing the net today and I came across doodling and a tutorial based on it. As I read it, I began liking it. So I tried it and I really loved it! So I thought I should ‘officially’ start doodling by making my very own set of smilies! The smilies are real simple ones, except you don’t have to use the characters like “(“ or this “:” for this “:)” anymore! You can use mine and I’ve also added a few extras besides the usual. I’ve got a heart and a broken heart; a right and a wrong; a bow and a crown and a clover. Hope you will like them all!

DOWNLOAD HERE

To use these smilies host the images in YOUR OWN server and insert the image url in the following tag.

Text < img src='http://imageurl.jpg' border="0" padding="0" > Text.

The Border or Padding tag is optional based on the settings of your blog HTML.

And well the images may not be uber clear or HD. They might look like scribbles, but that’s me guys!
So if you’re ever using my smilies, don’t forget to credit me too!

Shocked!

2010-07-22T17:29:00.001+05:30

Today just like any other day I went to school, expecting the usual to happen on a Thursday’s timetable.
I was really glad that my first period, Physics got cancelled due to the long assembly we had today. So I went to class and got out my Maths assignment book, hoping to finish the sum, which were left.
Suddenly, a teacher (new) entered the class with the English Literature. (It was English period then). I was thinking that she was a substitute for our awesome English ma’am, Gowri. But she said she wasn’t.

Okay… Fine… So what is she doing here!

And then the shock!
Gowri ma’am entered and she said, “She will be taking your English class from here on.”
For a 1/100th of a second, the whole class fell silent and when Gowri ma’am started to walk out, the whole class began to shout and began calling her back.
Sitting in the second bench with my mouth open, I was on the verge of tears. I didn’t want to show them. No not in the class. I never cry in the class.
The whole class was hesitant when the new teacher began to take the class.

She was teaching us non-finites and HELL! I didn’t understand a thing!!

I really didn’t want Gowri ma’am to leave us. This is our last year in school and after this we go to junior college where there is never an atmosphere such as a school’s.
We (all the girls) went to her. Cried for her to come back to us.

I'm a typical teacher crybaby. Cried in front of teachers twice. :)

She said even she missed us and wanted to come and teach us.
So we went to the principal who said that nothing can be done and that change is inevitable.

Inside her room, I felt like crying again.

I miss my old teacher so very much.
I feels like I’ve left school already.

Friends Forever ♥

2010-07-21T18:02:00.002+05:30

Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
That’s what I feel about my friends! They’re so precious to me. Just like any other gem. I really don’t like to see them unhappy.
Today my bench mate was really unhappy after she had a fight with her best friend. I tried my best in consoling her. Nothing happened. :(
But later in the end of the day, she was back to her old self and I was really happy then!

We Smile. We Laugh. We Dream.
We’re going to be together forever.
We’re going to be the Best of Friends.
This one goes to all my friends in school, cyber space and tumblr.
How about you? :) What do you want to say to your friends?

Do you guys like my new template? ^_^ I think its awesome! Especially the sidebar. Oh, and the navigations are always like before :), except you'll have to click the pictures in the sidebar :). Still if you want to ask me anything, feel free to do so!

My Days Of Innocence…

2010-07-16T16:14:00.001+05:30

Picture says:
Fly away with your imagination…
Little minds are the most innocent ones.
All these lines came into my head when I was looking at the picture of a little from my mom’s school [her class]. That picture was really good. The little girl’s shadow was cast and it looked like the shadow was only in focus. I mean all my eyes could every drift off to in that picture was its shadow. My mom had taken Tomy to school, since there was some activity about pets and that was when she took the pictures.

When I first saw that picture, I felt the innocence the little children have and their wild boundless imagination. I felt my self go back to my days of innocence, and I rejoiced those memories in glee.

So, let me show you that amazing picture of The Little Girl.

That's it for now from me. I'll post as soon as I do more pictures. And at the meantime, check out my photoblog at Tumblr.

Playing With Your Life.

2010-07-13T17:33:00.003+05:30

The Hunter. The Chase. The Kill.

The Forbidden Game.


Some words have jumped to the next line. Please ask if you can't understand it.

When Jenny buys a game for her boyfriend, Tom, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the guy who sells it to her. There is something mysteriously alluring about Julian’s pale eyes and bleached-blond hair. And when he places the Game into her hands, she knows their connection is something much deeper.
But as Jenny and her friends begin to play, an evening of friendship and fun quickly turns into a night of terror and obsessive love. Because the Game isn’t just a game – it’s their new reality, where Julian reigns as the Prince of Shadows.
One by one, Jenny and her friends must confront their deepest fears and win the game. Because to loose the Game, is to loose their lives. And that is only the beginning…

Lines from the last few pages of “The Forbidden Game: The Kill” , quoted by Julian just before he dies. It sounded like something really important and something which we should never forget. So remember and always love the dead.

Two Worlds, One Mind.

2010-07-09T17:32:00.000+05:30

When I walk home from the bus stand, I pass by a tuition center and I see students standing by it everyday. Almost not everyday, except for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Because I think they don’t have their classes then. And this was when it happened.

One side: Today is a Thursday and they won’t be there. Because you’ve observed for quiet a while and you never see them on Thursdays. So don’t sweat.

Other side: Well even if it’s a Thursday you can’t be sure if they’re there or not because you don’t go to that tuition and know their schedule.

And so I went on rambling until I saw the truth.
They weren’t there.
I didn’t know which side of my mind I had to believe. This always happens to me. When I think of something good, something contradictory come in its way and I start having negative thoughts. And these negative thoughts make me think that having too much of negative thoughts may bring out some positive thoughts. But I know that this won’t maintain the balance.
So I guess there is always going to be two worlds in my mind when I think of a situation and I just can’t seem to choose the right one.

Sadness...

2010-07-03T18:02:00.002+05:30

Picture says
Sadness is beautiful
Loneliness is tragical
These wonderful and mesmerizing lines are from the song, Shape of My Heart by Backstreet Boys. The release of the song may be old, and by old I mean really old. But time doesn't bother me and these lines have been stuck in my head every since I listened to the song.
I edited this picture by using text and text effects in Adobe Photoshop CS2. And by the way, I've also done a wallpaper and a .gif(animated) image which I will be soon posting. Have no worries and have a good day.

Guitar and Me

2010-07-02T18:05:00.000+05:30

P.S: This post is totally between me and my guitar. I so Love it! ^_^

Lately.

2010-07-01T16:35:00.001+05:30

Lately I haven’t been blogging much and I can feel that one-week to which I’d lost due to the arrival of my brother. Well he didn’t get me anything special like the ‘Velvet Casket’, which he’d once bought me. This time however it was different. It was my birthday this Sunday [yep! I'm 15 now!], and guess what he gave me as a gift? SPEAKERS!!! I mean my very own speakers for my very own room! Now how cool is that! It’s really nice and the sound is awesome.
Anyway so since my bro was here for like A WEEK ~ I was disconnected from cyber space till then. And so in the 7 days I was really bored without the net. So I tested out my Photoshop skills by making/editing pictures/wallpapers. It was really fun! You can see the pictures, which I did below:

Cry Smile- Quoted by Abhishek Bachan

All I Want Is You- Juno OST

Faerie- Wicked Lovely [By Melissa Marr], Ch.26

Learn My Lesson- Daughtry [Learn My Lesson]

Undisclosed Desires by Muse

2010-06-19T22:44:00.004+05:30

"Undisclosed Desires", also known as "Undisclosed", is a song by English alternative rock band Muse, featured on their 2009 fifth studio album The Resistance. The song was written by lead vocalist Matthew Bellamy, who has described the song as "quite a personal song about me and my girlfriend." This song did not involve the usage of the guitar or the piano but is built around electric drum patterns and some slap bass.
Even though the guitar or the piano hasn't been used in this song, the music is really incredible.
Here's it's Official Music video along with the Lyrics and MP3 download.

Download MP3: Link
I first listened to this song in FoxCrime while they were putting the trailer of Dexter Season 4. This song was in its background and it was really amazing! The song is really small I must say with the chorus repeating 3 to 4 times but the music behind this song is truly amazing!
By the way, the opening song in my blog is also "Undisclosed Desires".

I strongly recommend you guys to listen to this song and video. It's really amazing!
