The King And I ... #GoFigure

A mystery date ...
Something that was strange ...
Something that turned into ...
A beautiful memory to cherish ...
The King and I ...
A #Bucketlist fulfilled ...
Out of the blue ...
The King messaged her ...
Would you like to go on a  Dinner date with me?
She declined.
Rest is history ...
A whirlwind of activities ...
A flurry of events ...
They met and painted the town red...
From one end to the other ...
They travelled like others ...
No airs ...
No inhibitions...
All care shed to the Monsoony wind ...
Mumbai sure would have swooned ...
The two adventurers ...
On a trip of their own...
They traversed the suburbs of Mumbai ...
Finally rounding of at South Bombay ...
With a bottle of wine between them ...
Swooning to the newfound music in the air ...
They had a blast ...
All care to the wind ...
Letting their hair down ...
The Royalty and a Commoner ...
The King and I ..
On a blind, mystery date ...
A brief encounter ...
To be remembered and cherished...
She feels the happiness ...
She is blessed.

The illusion

A happily ever after ...
What a delusional delight!
An illusion ...
Nothing but bigotry stuffed in our minds...
A state of confounded happiness...
A mistake from the beginning...
Nothing remains the same ever...
A moment it's there ...
The next while ,
It's all washed away...
A delusional illusion...
A facade of a disturbed mindset.

Corkscrew cockatoo!

Go figure the title ...
😜

That feeling #Cooking ...

Content in her World ...
She moves about ...
Pottering her plants ...
Talking to them...
Loitering around her home...
Looking in the mirror...
At the greys...
And wondering How...
How on Earth did she survive...
The tsunami that consumed her everything...
Exhuming the memories of past...
She smiles...
The miles she's covered...
Whew! What a journey...
She smiles smugly...
A tear trickling through the corner of her left eye...
She sighs!
A deep breath and an equally deep...
Exhale...
Chuckling, she picks a pan...
Ready to pour her feelings...
Into the pan...
And, produce yet another masterpiece...
Loved by all...
Little do they know...
What goes into her cooking! #GoFigure

When you have loved truly...

When you have loved truly...
You know you can afford to wait a moment more ...
A moment more for them to catch up with you...
You don't take another step ...
Lest they are trying to catch up...
Lest they are a step behind...
When you forgive them their decision...
You forgive them their momentary lapse of judgment...
When you have truly loved...
You don't just move on ...
You give them a chance!

She's the Muse ...

A porcelain face...
Fine China...
Delicate enough to crack...
To be handled with care...
She's the muse to one too many ...
Each looking upto her ...
For inspiration...
For luck...
For luck and
Probably a fuck too.
One never knows ...
What lies behind the shielded eyes...
The intentions ...
Behind the salt and pepper looks ...
What jackal lurks...
Who knows ...
Who knows what lays ahead...
No one ...
She amuses them...
She's a tease ...
She's an enigma...
A slippery fish ...
Not to be caught ...
Just observed and...
Fantasized about.
She's a muse...
An untouchable mannequin...
A doll in their thoughts...
A dream not to be caught.
She's their muse ...
She laughs ...
Giggling at times...
A smile so benign...
Yet so infectious...
Pasted on her lips...
She inspires them...
She mesmerises them...
For she's their muse.

The measure of happiness...

Half full or half empty...
Does it matter?
Nah! Never ...
Today, she's reached a point in life ...
Where she creates her own happy moments...
Moments where she comes alive ...
In her own imagination...
An imaginary world of dreams ...
That she fulfills every living
moment ...
Her life has come one full circle ...
She doesn't need anyone to make life happen for her...
She makes life happen...
And boy,  is it happening?
Yes, it is!
This is one such moment,
35000 feet above sea level ...
She's writing her story ...
One post at a time ...
Imagine, how many can really do that?
She can ...
Life made it possible...
She made it possible...
The measure of happiness...
The peg measurer in her hand ...
She's embarked on yet another ...
Intrigue filled journey ...
Her #TravelDiary has a chapter added to it...
The #DelhiDiary to be written.
#GoFigure

35000 feet above...

35000 feet above ...
Far above the snowy white clouds...
Air traveling to yet another destination...
She observes a lot ...
A glance around...
And she gauges the people...
Sizes up the gentry traveling...
A happy baby in front ...
A not so happy sibling ...
A disgruntled father...
A sad mother ...
Who couldn't muster the courage...
To take a stand against her miserly husband...
Who felt 200 bucks was a lot to pay ...
For a pack of Snickers for the older child ...
How people have to compromise ...
In marriages that are sad...
A sad state of affairs...
Despite education...
When people compromise in toxic marriages ...
35000 feet above sea level ...
Things haven't changed from ground level...
