Holding Hands

Holding hands

It is a gesture of possession and protection.
It is a gesture of ownership and intimacy.

It is a commitment and a bond.
It is a declaration and an assimilation.

To hold a hand is to give love.
To hold a hand is to give care.

To hold a hand is to help.
To hold a hand is to support.

To hold a hand is to anchor oneself.
To hold a hand is to find security.

To hold a hand is to be a part of someone's life
To hold a hand is to make someone special.

To hold a baby's hand is to be a raft amidst an ocean.
To hold a gnarled and wrinkled hand is to be a shield.

To hold a friend's hand is to show the joy in being together.
To hold a lover's hand is to show that we belong.

To submit to a warm clasp is to come home.
To intertwine fingers is to submit yourself.

To find different ways to hold hands is sublime.
To hold hands each day is divine.

To find different hands to hold is wonderful.
To find a hand to hold onto forever is Nirvana.

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...

Gehraaiyan

  Gehraiyaan This is one of the first hindi movies I have enjoyed in a long while, and that is because it is pure entertainment. I watched it and I liked it and I didn't try and explore its morality or the why's and wherefores. It might never become a cult classic like others in its genre, namely Silsila, Masoom, Arth or even Pati patni aur woh, but it is a decent watch. Fidelity is a state of the mind and even a golden oldie like Navrang addressed it as such. Putting that aside, this movie belongs to Deepika Padukone all the way. But, ah the dashing and devious devil, Siddhant Chaturvedi makes a mark too. Deepika/Alisha is a conflicted individual, whose backstory is relayed to us in bits and pieces. The irony is that, her perception of everything is colored by her version of the truth. Watch how she takes pictures and then crops them. That's a peak in to her state of mind. She tries to err on the safe side always, and it reflects in her choice of life partner even. Her cou...

Silent Bystanders. ....

At times one sees people behaving in the most despicable way and one itches to say something. I witnessed such a wrong being perpetrated today and to my utter shame I just stood by and then later mutely walked away. Yes, there were others present and yes someone else could have said something. But none of us did. And neither did I. Exactly what is it that held me back? Maybe the thought that this wasn't my fight or the fact that I wanted to have no rep ercussions coming my way...... Whatever....... I didn't take a stand and I could have..... It's a shame I shall cart around for a while.... I wish I could turn back time, but I can't and knowing that so well today could possibly make me more stronger ahead.... Maybe......
