Memoir: DROP

The last time I had those painful bumps over my face was past four long years when I sat for my first board examination. I was a girl who never got pimples even when I was on a ride of puberty. Rare occasion of their arrival was a turmoil within and ongoing fire waiting to be extinguished. Last couple of months I experienced it yet again and constant attendance to the dermatologist did not bring about a healthy result. My mother's omniscience got well acquainted with something I'm smitten with and which paved the way for uninvited blemishes on my dear face. She saw me experiencing sleepless nights, loosing interest in dressing up and not hanging around with friends every evening. People change over with time, nobody stays as the old, nothing is constant but just change itself. I was changing and this change was sudden which happened within the span of some days.
The scholar of the school had made couple of bad decisions as any other teenager does and her break up with academics brought happiness that was short lived. Everyone has been endowed with equal intelligence and size of the brain as said famously but some succeed others with constant hard work and endless efforts.
The unstoppable time had seazed,the sun did not set to welcome the peaceful night and my failures haunted me in my dreams. My peace was into pieces. Bringing what was fallen apart demanded a sacrifice to be made . I pretended to be normal and suppressed every little secret deep within me.
Every year thousands of students take a year off either to prepare or in search of better opportunities. This process was common in the modern world but I wasn't sure if it would be accepted within the four concrete walls of my house.
I had been pursuing my master's degree for a year now from a private institution and the constant reminder of failure and incapability stung my soul every second. In the process of undoing the wrong I sat for the Delhi university's entrance yet again with the hard work, sleepless nights and pimples on my face. To prove no one but myself.
On 25th August 2017, I earned what I lost and learnt a lesson to be narrated till the day I bid the final goodbye. The pimples have stated setting with days and my mother has the look of assurance that I'm doing fine.

LUCKY CHARM

As he stood there yet again, looking over at the window, with his binoculars in one hand and a key-ring, his lucky charm in the other. He knew something was wrong today, He could see some women's clothes strewn across haphazardly in the apartment. He had known for a while that he was  cheated upon by Shiva, his ex-bf, but seeing him in bed with a woman was a shocking revelation. How could he do that to him? maybe only revenge would satisfy him now, would his lucky charm work its magic yet again, he wondered, checking the safety band of his revolver.            

I WRITE

Recollecting the best moments past month, I sit, I write, I make memories today                                                         ~ Himani mahalwal My entry through the majestic gate, the building that stood tall,the portrait of the old queen,took me back to the Victorian setting. I took a picture, uploaded on social platform and moved myself inside. It felt, exactly where I wanted to be. I scribbled every weekend and knit with the needlelike pen some of the best fabrics. Fabric of different colours and intertwined stories to tell. In the midst of the the journey, as I made the first step inside the cube like classroom, eyes followed me. I wore purple Indian attire with dazzling jhumki's and Jaipuri Kolhapuri. A hoarse voice prompted me to turn back.  " Hey, you look different, join us." Now I exactly knew that wearing...

Inner War

Three Generations stood over a line and looking at each other, whispered their inner voice as. Old man :- No tomorrow to me, only I have a mere memories of yesterday , let me be with you  Son. Man :- No memories to me, want to build my empire for tomorrow , let me go away, Father. Child :-   Neither I have memories Nor interest in tomorrow, I wish to live today , let me be with you (Mom & Dad). Who is right, whose wish is wrong? .No teacher, preacher, parent, friend Or wise man can decide!
