Etched in memory...

This day, thirty two years ago ...
An event occurred that changed the course of her life. A happy girl got married and was enveloped in darkness. The dark forces of society, started playing their role in devastating her life , persona and mind. They played their role well, she couldn't discern between their reality and her imagination. She thought she was happy till she uncovered the dark secrets of the man whom she loved truly. The demon behind the mask of sweetness , the ideal husband concept was broken and she was faced with the stark reality of life. A journey all alone with two young innocent beings in tow whilst the monster and his clan rejoiced at the freedom. 
The justice system failed her. Society failed her. She grew bitter but she had a mountainous task ahead of her... Her naive children. 
She worked hard and the children became her strength. There was no looking back. She rose from her ashes and gave them a life and education that made them skilled at life. They didn't get comforts on a platter, all three of them worked hard and despite the pain and the long arduous journey we call life , they emerged victorious from the darkness towards light.

Today, there's no regret. Just a sense of satisfaction that whatever happened, happened for good. If that wouldn't have happened, she wouldn't be who she is today. A strong  independent wildfire that rages on beautifully and glows in that passion that launched a thousand ships. #GoFigure

Walking into the Silver Sunset ! #GoFigure

Literally, walking into the Silver Sunset! 

Not jogging nor running...
Just walking into the Silver Sunset.

No liabilities, no responsibilities...
Just sailing into the Silver Sunset.

All worries to the care of the wind...
Just breezing into the Silver Sunset.

Failed relationships or not, yet at peace with herself ...
Just sauntering into the Silver Sunset.

Realisation and exemplification ...
Money ain't everything ...
Empty pocket, yet happy ...
And, walking into the Silver Sunset.

Material world left behind ...
A never-ending sabbatical ...
Proving the Society wrong ...
What else but a smirk and a laugh ...
Snuffing out the embers behind ...
And, slipping and sliding away into the Silver Sunset.

Done and dusted with all the shenanigans ...
Promises kept and fulfilled ...
Nothing left to decipher ...
Just walking into the Silver Sunset

Treacherous Lines ... #GoFigure

Read somewhere ...
These treacherous lines of mine ...
People read me in between them ...
So true, isn't that so ? 
Lost somewhere in between are memories ...
Long forgotten ...
Those lines remind her ...
Else all has faded ...
Just handed in the mind ...
Lives that mattered once ...
Forgotten people and pets ...
Just faded and jaded memories ...
Popping up once in a blue moon ...
But she remains unaffected ...
For they don't look familiar anymore ...
Those treacherous lines of mine ...
People read themselves in between them #GoFigure

Sameeksha and Bankelal ... An incomplete story !

Sameeksha was beautiful and a fresh breath of air ...
A breeze that couldn't be contained ...
The wind that took the air out of Master Bankelal ...
Masterji was a famous character on Twitter ...
Much respected for his witty intelligence ...
Sameeksha fell in love with his eloquent dialogues on the social media platform ...
Bankelal found a young girl to pour his feelings out to ...
He was in France, a research scientist searching for Nano particles ...
Sameeksha was looking for herself in the vast space of Earth ...
A highly unlikely love story, if it was ...
She loved him ...
But, she had a dark secret ...
She wasn't who she told him she was ...
Else, he wouldn't even look at her ...
But that was all ...
She was who he actually fell in love with ...
Just the name and face weren't hers ...
And sixteen more springs to her credit ...
One day in all honesty, she told him her truth ...
Rather than understanding her ...
He shunned her ...
Those talks of undying true love ...
All vaporised into thin air ...
Masterji showed his true colours ...
Just another man with an ant in his zipper ...
Who thought he could con a young girl into submission ...
For his carnal desires ...
Instead, here was a strong woman ...
A highly respected lady he knew on Twitter ...
How could she be the Sameeksha he was conning? 
He disappeared from Twitter but he couldn't disappear from her thoughts ...
He remained ... A story unfinished ...
An unrequited love ...
The story of Sameeksha and Professor Bankelal Tripathi won't find mention in great epics of the past yet it remains etched in the memories of what now belongs to Elon Musk. Strange that it should leap out from the dark corners of memory today, a beautiful love story that could have been but due to honesty couldn't be. So, the word love is a farce, it doesn't exist. Bankelal couldn't face the truth Sameeksha was. Just another epic bites the dust. Something beautiful came to a drastic end because Sameeksha told the truth. It was awesome whilst the lies lasted for Masterji.

To be continued ... #GoFigure

Long time due ... #GoFigure

Life got so busy that she forgot to pen her thoughts ...
Err! Infact, there were none to boast of ...
Traveling beyond the frontiers...
Seeking the unknown ...
Solo in her trips ...
No tribe to own ...
It was bliss ...
Adventures galore ...
She tread on a path unknown to her ...
Finding a new HER ...
The journey is ongoing till the end ...
No strings attached ...
This was long overdue ...
A prelude to the solitude ...
In her seclusion ...
She found herself ...
What else is needed ? #GoFigure

Testing one's limits ... #GoFigure

When you have lived a protected life of luxury...
When you didn't have to think twice about anything ...
Thence commences a thousand thoughts ...
In the sheer boredom of the moment...
You decide to go rogue ...
Rogue on your luxuries ...
Rogue on a life well protected...
You take a chance...
You don't regret it ever ...
For whence you decided to break free ...
From the shackles of a pruned existence ...
There emerges a butterfly beautiful ...
Shedding the pupa of a cocooned life ...
Spreading its wings and flying away...
Soaring high ...
Higher towards the Sun ...
The rays deflecting off the wings ...
A beautiful creation of Nature ...
You become one with it ...
You become the very embodiment of freedom...
You represent life as it should be ...
You become the real YOU ... Testing your limits to the hilt...
Climbing mountains ...
Crossing seas ...
You become the master and commander of your destiny ...

The hate is REAL ! #GoFigure

That ugly frizzled hair woman...
The charlatan...
The home breaker...
How does she sleep each night...
Knowing well that she's displaced a family...
Made kids fatherless...
Kids who lost their childhood...
How does she get her forty winks even ? ...
The hatred for her is real ...
Big time ...
The hate is real ...
And, the nincompoop whi played along...
Still playing elsewhere...
For the fortune he hopes to inherit some day...
Little knowing that he's being played along ...
Nothing else ! #GoFigure

Of diamonds and rubies ! #GoFigure

When an unhappily married man...
A man who married for money...
Gives a diamond and Ruby ring to his ugly spouse...
Know it well...
A similar jewellery...
He has given a similar jewellery to his mistress Nigar too...
He's guilty and...
History repeats itself...
He's hiding his infidelity...
With a diamond and ruby ring...
So be under no pretenses...
Do not strut around like a proud peacock...
In this instance...
An ugly peahen...
He doesn't love you...
He loves your inheritance...
And he's hiding his infidelity...
Behind a diamond and ruby ring ! #GoFigure

Nigar Fatima Husain... The Home breaker ! #GoFigure

This is the story of the woman...
Who broke one too many homes ...
Including hers.
Nigar Fatima Husain...
She left her husband for her husband ...
Yet remains single...
And still frolicks with him ...
Behind the back of his second wife ...
Either the second one knows and turns a blind eye...
Or is totally unaware of their liaison...
Nigar Fatima Husain...
Snatched the childhood away of two innocent children...
She invaded the home of a perfect couple...
Wait! Was it really a perfect home?
Wasn't the husband an alway infidel bastard ...
He married the second one for her money...
He left the first for his uncontrollable libido ...
Abandoning his own flesh and blood...
In search of his lust and horny desire fulfillment...
Nigar Fatima Husain, continues to be concubine behind the shades of grey ...
He continues to wretchedly enjoy the sins of flesh...
Under the garb of sainthood ! #GoFigure 

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger! #GoFigure

Being strong is her bane today...
But once upon a time...
Being strong eluded her ...
What with societal norms...
And orthodox thoughts...
They still exist but...
In a subtle manner ...
Under different guises of support...
But none the less...
Barricades and obstacles to being a strong woman...
DO EXIST...
They tried to kill her ...
Under different pretexts ...
If they couldn't kill her physically...
They tried mental and emotional torture ...
They thought they had succeeded ...
Yet, she emerged from her ashes...
Bigger and stronger ...
Fir what doesn't kill you...
Makes you stronger ! #GoFigure

She's but a fool... Slut in a slit! #GoFigure

She's but a fool ...
Whispers in the corridors...
Whispers in the ladies powder rooms...
Whispers amongst his coursemates ...
Why does she strut around...
Like a proud peacock...
For what she doesn't deserve...
She feels the glory of her predecessor...
As her own...
She came much much later...
The hard work, sweat and toil ...
Was her predecessor's , not hers ...
She's but a fool ...
Wearing a slit doesn't make you a lady ...
It makes you look like a slut in a slit ...
Don't cut your own throat ...
And you call yourself a counselor ...
Hahaha! Joke of the millennium ...
Slut in a slit is most apt ! #GoFigure

He's a good actor... #GoFigure #DoubleInnuendo

Observing the trial of Johnny and Amber ...
She clearly can see ...
How Amber was manipulated to react in the way she did during her marriage...
Johnny is a great actor and she can see the skill with which he's playing the innocent victim ...
Garnering sympathy by painting the wife as a horrific beast ...
She recalls ...
She relates ...
Men too can act as victims and get away with murder ...
Especially in India ...
It's a man's world ...
Domestic abuse victims aren't given the justice they deserve ...
Abuse isn't just a physical scar. ..
It's years of social emotional torment ...
The scars of which aren't visible but ...
Take a toll on a woman's psyche ...
Leaving her scarred and traumatized for the entire life ...
No one blames the man and his family for driving a woman crazy ...
They act innocent ...
They are protected ...
The second wife is led to believe that lie ...
Sigh! It sucks ...
A woman is a woman's worst nightmare and enemy ! #GoFogure

Of Crushes Of Childhood And Blunders Of Youth !

From mooning over Joel Harlow from one of the Mills and Boons novel to Rahul Mehta based on Joel Harlow, a figment of her imagination ...
Somewhere in that gorge of stepping into being herself...
She was lost between the crushes of childhood and blunders of her youth !
Shyly smiling at Rajesh Karpe's antics in the classroom to giggling at the naughty tricks of Kinshuk Rakshit ...
Somewhere there ...
Swooning over Tanveer Shah from another section ...
And actually really having feelings for Donald Duck ...
That's what she referred to him as , Pratik Sarkar...
Teased by Reena Sinha when they saw him getting off the potty coloured yellow fiat car of his father every morning...
She grew up without actually growing up ...
Till she met Prabhat Tickoo ...
Her shy glances and his boldness...
Taking her pen away ...
Whilst she dabbled in poetry about him...
The ice cream at Breach Candy ...
Dropping her off to college in his scooter ...
The awkward silence in the old lift with shutters ...
Losing him finally to his career in aviation and Mamma's boy syndrome...
Porus getting her chocolates and Siwatch declaring his lovevon rose day with the epithet... See your watch tell the truth before the strongman blows the horn...
Such innocence of the teen years ...
Being pursued by Arun Singh and shying away from men...
Raghu , another one of Mamma's boy...
Manish Bhandari just another mamma's boy in love with her ...
But, she chose the blunder of her youth ...
A regret that punishes her to this day ...
An infidel that ruined her life forever! #GoFigure
She's come a long way since then...
In the 52nd summer of her life ...
She remenisces with a smile looking at the rising Sun in the horizon ...
A lovely story to tell...
Tales of the light ...
Tales of love and loss ...
But beautiful stories full of anecdotes...
Funny and filled with laughter ...
A youth lost ...
A silver sunset gained ! #GoFigure

Just another real story from the past !

On a cold night somewhere in the North of India...
The Phoenix was taking a bath ...
The lights went off...
It was dark in the bathroom...
Phoenix was covered in soap sud top to bottom...
The water in the tap turned ice cold...
Then the water stopped running...
She was gripped in fear ...
She suffered from claustrophobia as it is ...
And, now this ...
Somehow she managed to dry herself ...
Dressed and ...
She came out ...
What does she she ?
Her father in law had switched off the electricity mains and the water mains ...
She asked why...
And her mother in law replied...
Your Dad doesn't pay the bills ...
So make do with what you get !
She was stunned...
This was just one of the incidents of the many that happened...
She tried telling her husband...
But, he was in cahoots with them...
He was having an affair with a woman from another community ....
Under their approved watchful eyes...
She wasn't aware ...
Till very late ...
Very very late ...
The Phoenix reduced to ashes ...
Destroyed by her very own ...
Just for the insatiable lust he had for his carnal desires...
Just another story...
From one of many ...
That bespoke her death ...
And rise from her ashes ! #GoFigure

The Betty Broderick Story...

From start to finish...
Frame to frame...
It's her story ...
The Betty Broderick Story ...
Every sacrifice Betty made ...
Every instance in her life ...
Dan's infidelity...
Dan's betrayal of Betty's trust ...
Dan's ambitions...
Betty's letting go of her own desires ...
Every bit matches with her story ...
Just in another era and decade ...
She sees herself portrayed in the web series ...
She knows it word to word ...
As her own story ...
Her infidel husband ...
Her losing her mind ...
The stressful situations ...
Him implicating her falsely ...
Her run from pillar to post for justice ...
Yet, no justice given ...
She relates to The Betty Broderick Story ! #GoFigure

Prized Possession ! #GoFigure

She clings to him...
As if he might slip away...
She knows the truth...
Yet chooses to ignore...
And, she sticks to him...
Glued in all the photographs...
Proof of her insecurity...
Telltale signs...
She doesn't trust him...
Yet, he's her trophy...
To flaunt around...
Oblivious to the fact...
He plays her downright...
Right under her nose...
He has fun...
And she doesn't know...
For she's content with her prized possession...
As he's happy...
Rolling in her millions...
