Rain

It was a beautiful rain
Where all my tears soaked up the Earth

I flew past clouds, full of rain
I looked down upon the world at large

I saw a lonely soul
Standing there, with no one around her

She was told by many
That they will always love her

Yet they walked away
When she needed them the most

She stood, looking lost
At the world at large

No one saw her pain
Felt her loneliness

They thought her selfish and uncaring
When she was right there by everyone she had ever loved

Giving her heart and soul into every special one
That crossed her way

Her heart was once more broken into pieces
As he walked away from her

Leaving her, bereft and wondering
If this life was worth living

Yet she got over her grief
Moved silently in pain that was getting numb

For no one really loved her
Except herself and her soul

Wandering from place to place
But never finding peace

For she knew not
That peace was to be found within

I look down upon that Soul today
Lost not, at peace at last

No more rain for her
No more tears that soak up the Earth

For she smiles as she moves ahead
From destination to goal

Knowing that Life must be lived
With happiness and not with tears

She finds herself finally
In a world that never really cared

Alone is not she
For with her is Love

That comes from Within

Story-Non existent in my solitude

Non-existent, in water I float, in my solitude. I do not cry. These are the words that define me, Nandita. I live in a surrealistic world that I call Utopia. Today, my brother, Anshuman returns from the US of A. Anshu has been studying B. Tech and promises to be a multi millionaire. He is gifted with IQ, I with EQ. We are birds of a feather. There is pandemonium in the house. Ghar ka chiraag laut raha hai. Mom is going ballistic, screaming matches with the staff, Papa rushing around too. Their darling son, the prodigal is returning. In this mob like fury, I am totally forgotten. My breakfast comes in late, as cook is busy making Anshu’s favourite dishes. Kebabs, biryani, theplas. I am alone in my room. I stare at the curtains, wanting to tear them off. Mom has forgotten that today I had to go for my entrance test for the Jewelry Designing course at JD Instt. The driver has gone off to get fresh towels for Anshu’s room. I hurry. I am late already. I need to shower and catch a

Shackles....please let me be....

In a man dominated world, can I, a woman, find a place, free of shackles of fathers, brothers, husbands, pimps? I ask my sisterhood this. I request you to question yourself and the world around you and I want you to stop today and think. We require a world change and I will you, my sister, to weep for me, yet weep for the individual in you that got hidden somewhere in her role towards life that existed outside her and around her. Today, I question the very morality and the weft of the societies of the world. Tell me, what gives anyone the right to target the feminine gender as an objectified piece? Do you, my mother, my female sister, promise to stand & cover me when I am being led without any clothes in a village? Do you, O Sister, promise to castrate that man who raped me every night? I now write a sad story that might shake you, from your very complacent world. I beg you to rise with me and be one in that voice that says...ENOUGH.....I do hope that you will do this for yo

ARE SUSPENSEFUL TIMES AHEAD FOR MOVIE THEATRES?

Cinema viewing is a sport most city slickers look forward to. Going to the movies is like a mini vacation. Nandishi Shriram chats with Sanjeev Bijli, Joint Managing Director, PVR Cinemas to discuss the road ahead for multiplexes. The big screen cinematic experience is a real thrill. The treat of lying back on a plush, padded recliner, enjoying a Japanese Bento Box, served up by an attentive steward is irrepplaceable! Gone are the days of crawling into a nondescript, dark and dank smelling theater, wolfing down a greasy alu tikki burger with onion and tomato along with pumpkin ketchup…!! Only to watch Mithun doing his greasy swagger & running around trees with a buxom Ranjeeta….!! Instead, now when you walk in to watch a thriller like Andhadhun at PVR Luxe, you are assured a few hours of pulsating excitement. The credits roll in and the movie begins. The film script has very dark & grey undercurrents, with hints of the paranormal. The audience is on edge, watching Tab
