Two beats, One heart

 It all happened on a starry Sunday,

Long ago in the month of May,
I t was so hot n sweaty n soaking,
When Krishna said the three words,
I thought he was joking.

It hit me like an arrow out of the blue,
My best friend had just said ‘I love you’,
I had looked for a sweetheart under box and broom,
The last place I expected to find him, was right across the room,
What should I do now? My heart began to flip,
This classmate of mine is asking me to be a part of his trip!

Cupid had struck us I could not deny,
Our future got engraved in that blink of an eye,
The case was hopeless; it was useless to plead,
Dear Cupid had in a farce sown the seed.

And so here we are on the verge of the morrow,
Promising each other through good times and sorrow,
To be by each other's side till death do us apart,
Two sides of a coin, two beats, one heart.


*This poem was penned at the time we sent out our wedding invitations to let the curious ones know how it all came about :)

Malti Maushi

  Malti Maushi was free at last, she could do whatever she wanted to. At 55 years of age all Malti Maushi ever wanted to do was - to mop floors. She had dreamed of it all her life. It would seem rather odd but ever since Malti Maushi was small, well she wasn't technically a “Maushi” then, but ever since Malti Maushi was a little girl she was fascinated by floors. She was told that as a child she had her most peaceful naps on the floor of the house. “We had to put you on the floor, only then would you sleep well. Not the soft bed, not the cradle, but the bare cool floor”, her mother had reminded her ever so often as she grew up. “Gosh! and how much you licked the floors girl!” Mai would add laughing. Malti Maushi loved being reminded, yes she loved floors and what she loved even more was keeping them spotless clean. Now she could do just that, mop floors to her heart’s content! Malti Maushi looked at the dust covered floor in front of her with joy in her eyes. At least a quarter...

The Legend of Clinta Clause

  All of us have heard about Santa Clause, but did you know about his twin brother Clinta Clause? Well, let me tell you about this less heard of person and his team who are working tirelessly unknown to everyone. At one time both Clinta Clause and Santa Clause were both equally well known, but over time the big shops and stores hyped up Santa Clause and slowly Clinta Clause got forgotten, so much so that nobody even remembers his name. Clinta Clause and Santa Clause are twins, born of the same mother exactly a minute apart. First came Clinta Clause and then Santa. As the boys grew up both of them developed very unique characteristics. Clinta Clause loved to collect things that were no longer used, broken or forgotten, then he and Santa would turn them into something magical. Clinta and Santa loved tinkering around in their workshop. Clinta was the shy one of the two, he prefers to remain in the shadows, letting Santa go out and deliver the toys to kids around the world.

The Bridge

at times in life you come across rivers some big ones...some not so big ones but cross them you must... whatever the consequence you cannot go back after coming this far Sometimes you find a ready-made bridge over which you just have to jump But sometimes you have to construct one so that others can follow Most of us give up and walk up and down the shore in search of one. But a few wait and build a new bridge, Even if it means giving up the future journey.
