Childhood Friend

I know this is a big surprise!
To a friend, I fondly want to praise!
Takes me a decade back in time,
To the days we would call as our ‘prime’
Am amazed at the strong inner self that is sublime,
Love and care in abundance,
That am sure is her loved ones permanence,
Her Cheerful, chirpy self brings a big smile to people around,
Ramble queen is what she is fondly crowned,
The short bike rides from college,
The long, deep chatter times we managed
The small arguments and tiffs that was a part,
But it never ever pulled us apart,
I make comments and compliments without a second thought
Only because am sure, you know me quite a lot
The love,care and understanding that we share,
Is in this age and time very rare
I treasure this friendship that is to me very precious!
Raffish self that you are
Attached self that you are to others,
Myriad of talent that you process in dance, fashion and arts,
Adorable one that you are
Would that aptly summarize you the way you are?

What It Is Not To Be Married

As a young girl you fall in love,
Not once not twice but many times,
And then you find a man,
A man you think is the right one for you,
A man you think can keep you happy ,
The dream man you have always wished for,

The farther you are from him,
The more you love him,
Little do you realize that there is much more than just this,
You want to be closer,
 Nearer the merrier is what u think,

Long hours of talking on phone,
Countless hours of romance,
Yes, through phone, again,
Little do you realize that there is much more than just this,

You dream of marriage,
Dream of a life with him,
The few days you meet during vacation is all you know of him,
Little do you realize that there is much more than just this,

Then comes the big day, wedding! 
It's all dreamy and fuzzy through the 3 days of wedding,
And finally here you are married and as a wife
Little do you realize that there is much more than just this,

Cooking, eating together and going out becomes a routine,
Little do you realize that there is much more than just this,

The first few days is when you get to know each other,
Their preferences , their choices,
You adjust, he adjusts , after all you think it's all a give and take,
Little do you realize that there is much more than just this,

Yes, we keep learning in life , from our mistakes and others,
In this game of marriage you do see different facets of yourself and him,
Anger,love,laughter,selfishness,care,giving,missing and more,
But this should all be tied with a feeling called 'mine'
The minute you think it's 'yours', you always understand things better ,
Never think it's him/ her, think that's yours!
Yours today, tomorrow and for ever!

 Marriage, as they say is NOT a bed of roses,
Marriage is not a fairy tale,
Not a fantasy world,
It's not cinema like,
It's not always romantic,
It's not always about you,
Marriage is about understanding,
Marriage is about thinking the other person is yours!
Feel it to live it!
