Don’t know why I miss you tonight!

Don’t know why I miss you tonight!

I gulped whole of it.
Guess, that was the third drink.
So old it is in time, that I don’t remember even a tiny bite.
But I want to live that night again.

Now when I am a little wiser, now when I am a little strong to hold a couple of drinks.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight!

I know you are reading this.
I know you want me to write.
You might be crying reading this. Oh, you have to cry while reading this.
B’cs so am I.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight!

I know that night is special to you too.
Though it is in the ashes today.
But hey love, hey charm of the night,
I know how you do miss the night.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight!

My heart cries a thousand tears. My throat is having a heaviest lump. But I know that was in stars as this lone night
is probably too in stars.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight.

Danced on a couch and landed on floor. Don’t know when you kept me back in my space. Next I know we are talking to the moon.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight.

Somehow I cried. You were bewildered. In those lamps, your doubts were clearer. My silly heart was overpowered by that high.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight.

My hands and fingers were not in my awe. Picking that ring off your finger, I saw. Asking the question which should had kept aside.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight.

Gone that night. Gone those days. You are a stranger, like the way, you wanted to make.
Happy being a leaf in those countless beautiful sights.

Don’t know why I miss you tonight.

Anonymous Confessions

Hi, I am a 29 year old, average looking man. I come from a middle class background though now we are doing well. I have a young sister who is settled with her job in Singapore. My parents are happy and have decided to settle in hometown near Darjeeling. I stay in Delhi and work in Gurgaon. I started my career as a developer and now I am leading a team who calls me Project Manager. I have around 6-7 different friend/social circle. I have been on and off with relationships and one night stands. I was an occasional smoker but now it has increased in recent times. I drink socially and mostly prefer scotch, mild! I was never a shy being. I used to be a talk of town, way back in college. Getting involved with college events, late night parties, hanging out with new chick on the block were standards of living back then. I was a popular in my teachers and professors. In college times, I avoided falling into relationships considering I had a mountain like career and professional life ahead

By the time

It has to be here. Last it was kept in that tiny medicine-pill box.  (2013, Rainy day in Jakarta, she was visiting a local flea market with her Boss. He suggested her to buy the tiny medicine pill box as SIM card storage.) It was a wonderful idea. She had been struggling with her huge pile of SIM cards, changing every other two weeks, as she hopped on and off around the world for her work. It was actually Boss’ wife's brilliant idea; to store sim cards in the pill box. Women! It has been over a decade but she still goes back to that day whenever this tiny pill box is in her sight. It is amazing how small things, like a magnet, attract memories forgotten or probably stored neatly inside our brains somewhere. On any unsuspected day, a tiny Neuron might hit that storage brain-shelf and drop that memory box off the brain-shelf. Bam! A day dream erupts, a nostalgia creeks in and 2013 is fresh as a daisy in your mind. Nuts! ‘Aah, here you are’ She finds the pill box in her white basket w

Change

“Do you know I have been queen barely 10 years And during that time I’ve had three prime ministers All of them ambitious men Clever Men Brilliant … Men Not one has lasted the course They have either been too old, too ill or too weak A confederacy of elected quitters!” With those lines, a pregnant Queen Elizabeth II storms out of the room where her third prime minister is meekly lying on the hospital bed. In the new season of this Netflix show “The Crown” I find these lines as the best possible lines to express a stressed monarch’s disappointment. Although Netflix might have created this show to describe how difficult and complex the life of a British Royal is; I find the show (to a very large extent) sarcastic. How these royals did nothing except gossiping in their comfortable chairs and planning marriages or other gala events. Despite this, one commendable aspect of Queen Elizabeth II’s ruling reflected by this show seems to be that she had somehow noticed and accepted
