I am a local!









Lying down in the parks of Ratnapark, 
Gazing towards the sun,
Basking in its rays,
Observing beautiful arts of clouds,
I am found dreaming of an American Life.

‘SLC passed’ is the degree I carry,
So now it’s my chance to play the blame game,
Political instability makes me feel insecure,
The working condition makes my interest dry,
The wage earned makes me feel worthless,
Complaining of being in a land of no opportunities..
I am a local!

As i have no other opportunity here,
I Dream of a life waiting for me in abroad
With a work of so called pride,
A pride to have left home behind
For an illusionary life of having earned
Money for a fruitful life
I am a local!

Selling the inherited is the plan,
Borrowing is the choice,
Leaving myself tangled in unpaid debts is the game I will play,
I am a local!

Just a coffee!

He came to ask me out, to have a coffee in near by shop. Just a minute walk away it is, said he with a small voice. Confused I was, I tried not to look at his eyes. Making myself look stupid, I wanted to run from his sight. Moving my bag hanging from one side to both my shoulders, I said i have a tuition to attend. Assuring to meet next time, I waved good bye. During the slow walk for home, was a race running within my mind. The silent road had an eco of what was going inside my mind. It was just a coffee.. It was just a coffee.. Its just a coffee! Its just a coffee!

For starting of a new journey.

Hey Aabha, Lots have been told during these years. We know the importance we had in each other's life. So, this is not to praise you or to make you feel happy of this precious day but it is to try to make this day a starting of a new journey for you. I will tell you a story today. It started by making a Cup of Coffee. A girl decided to start her journey sharp at 9:00 pm. She placed a book with blank pages on her desk and a new pen besides it. Then she sat on the hard chair in the corner of the room with a confidence to draft her thoughts in paper under the night lamp. She stopped! She reached a white space. Her legs started shaking. Hands started shivering. Fingers unconsciously started rubbing her lips. But, then a bell of reminder to achieve her goal rang and brought her back to the real state. She then took the pen in her hand, stream of thoughts started flowing in her mind. In this abundance of emotions her search for right words began. She lost ...

Stream Of Thoughts (Part 1)

In the warm day of fading white snow, Cool breeze tickles like a feather through my face. Flowers with arm stretched to bloom, Aromatic breeze teases like a sent through my nares. A soft bed of grass cuddles to let the day pass, Gazing to the clear sky my breadth sounds relaxed. With fading light the shadows now seems to grow, Harking through every foot step my life feels occupied. The night of twinkiling stars afire the cosmic presense, Aching neck now nods right and left to get asleep. The cool breeze brings with it a flood of thoughts, Beating the silence now countless question ecos deep. Long forgotten the town i come from, The wait for love still remebers kindness. With arms gaping to heal the raw soal, The naked eyes still dreams of the greatest happiness... To be Continued....
