A life has been touched.

I know you didn't mean to.
I know you didn't want to.
But you touched a life.

I know you are a rolling stone.
But I know your heart is like a sponge
I know you must absorb it all.
And though you shouldn't have to,
I know you carry it all,
Yet through it all,
You touched a life.

I know you are a lone soldier,
But I know you can be a knight in shining armour too,
I know the blows you must have taken,
Even though you say nothing at all,
And even though you shouldn't have to,
You bear the scars,
Yet through it all,
You touched a life.

I know you are a tiger that prowls the forest in lone splendor.
But I know you are the Bear that nurtures its own.
I think I know the ambushes you must have repelled,
And even though you are silent about them all,
I think I know what you have lost,
Yet through it all,
You touched a life.

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...

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......
