Every Goodbye

Every Goodbye

One more goodbye as the train pulls out
I can only sit back and pout
Holding onto memories to take me by
And as the winds blow I silently sigh

I begin this pray for a hearts that's stronger
But one more parting has just left me colder
Tomorrow I will build one more wall
To shield me as I say another bye to all

Once I had promised myself I will not cry, I'm fine
I had promised myself I will care less this time
I had promised myself I will hurt for none, not again
I had promised myself, but I still feel the pain

Fate calls me, its time again, come sweet child
We have a journey so yet again you say goodbye
Paths were taken that cannot be changed
And we have to go and don't ask why

So I wave out again and hold back that tear
As a new prayer crosses my quivering lips
And longing knocks at my freezing heart
Hope comes along to say, maybe the next goodbye will be the last

I Bought A Pregnancy Test

I Bought A Pregnancy Test A few years back a friend of mine wanted to buy a pregnancy test, she hadn't got her period in sometime and wanted to confirm it first before she told anyone. I never actually thought of this. I always wondered about buying condoms or birth control pills but never about a pregnancy test. A pregnancy scare is something most girls face who are sexually active (I thought of saying most married women face but then I thought what the hell, why play it  safe). So a pregnancy scare comes with many nuances. First, do I tell my partner now? what would be his reaction? What do I want? ...and so on. Apparently these are not questions that only an "unmarried women" woman asks herself but even married women face similar questions in present day situations. They have a similar set of apprehensions like would he be happy with this new situation? his reaction? or the worst would he blame me for"letting" this happen? My friend belonged to the ...

The Freedom of Expression

The Freedom of Expression If you have ever been acquainted with a visually challenged person you will relate to what I am about to write about. For all of us more fortunate than the 7.8 million Indians who live with the challenges of being blind it is difficult to fully grasp the struggles they face on a daily basis.  My eyes were open to this reality when one of my visually challenged friends who came to Chennai to write an exam asked if I would be his scribe for a bank exam he had to give. My first reaction was, he already has a job why can't he be happy. I was immediately ashamed of the fact that I thought, that while its okay for me to pursue bigger dreams, he should be happy with the fact that he 'at least' has a job. To atone myself I immediately joked and asked him if I should also study for the exam, he was only overjoyed that I had agreed.  On the day of the exam I needed to locate where he was waiting for me. In general, giving directions to people i...
