Timepass

I have no time limit and no fixed slot for you.
Never have!
Never will!

You on the other hand have me neatly slotted.
You speak to me only when time permits.
You have fixed a time limit,
And you have fixed frequencies.
I am aware the slots shall keep reducing.
I am aware the frequency shall keep decreasing.
That's alright my love.
I am your pass time.

You encompass me,
All I think of is you,
All I want is you,
You are in my prayers,
And you are the answer to my prayers.

I am your Saturday thought,
And your Sunday timepass,
I am the crutch you hate and need,
I am the splint your broken heart needs,
I am the splint that shall be cast aside once the heart is mended.
That's alright my love,
I am your pass time.

You are in my weekdays,
You are in my work place,
You are in my heart and soul,
You are the reason I smile,
And you are why I see the sunrise.

I am your temporary love,
I am the tea bag in your tea service,
I am the voice that puts you to sleep, And yet,
I am the voice you wish you could hear no longer,
That's alright my love, this time too shall pass,
Till then I am your pass time.

I am the message that is deleted immediately,
You are the message that is saved eternally,
I am the timepass,
You are the reason time stops and moves,
You are the memory card that has a thousand back-ups,
I am auto-erase.
That's right my love,
I am the pass time.

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Your Smiles

Do you know that in all the days that I have known you, I haven't heard you laugh even once? Do you laugh? Do you find anything funny? Do you have a sense of humor? Oh wait! What? What is that? You find my questions amusing? It's these that are making you grin? Of All the things I say and do, it's my questions which are making you smirk? How come I never noticed that one of your tooth overlaps the other? Just like a lion bringing down a deer. How is it that I never realised how one of your eyes closes almost completely when you smile wide? How did I never realise that your smile starts at your lips and becomes a twinkle in your eyes? How did I never see the twirl you give your moustache when you are shaking with laughter? How could I never know that mirth can be silent too? How many times did you laugh with me and I didn't even know? How many times did you laugh at me and I didnt even know? How many times did you turn away to hide a smile when I wasn...

Shades of Grey

For a very long time I have held a rigid view about what is right and what is wrong. And never have I ever allowed myself to be deviated from what I thought was correct and incorrect. I am not saying that I always did the right thing, but yes even when I was doing the wrong thing I did know that i was wrong. No one had to hold up the metaphorical mirror and tell me that I was wrong. I knew it all on my own. So veering between being an absolute Gandhian and a naughty imp, I had more or less kept my moral compass due north. In fact I was quick to judge people on their actions, without trying to place myself in their shoes and walk a few miles, to see what the impediments were. I was always pretty  smug about knowing what was white and what was black. But as they say, its only when we experience something do we truly realize what it was to have stood in someone's shoes and made a decision which felt totally right at that time. Would you condemn a hungry urchin for stealing food? ...
