The petals have fallen down.

Amidst the woods I call out
Fallen flower petals around
Your name engraved in the trees far too old
Your spirit all about.

Like petals of spring you were
Warm air underneath
In the whispers of your calling I
Grieve to find relief.

Heart much cold
And body too numb
In the woods that surround me
I am nothing but stone.

Givers take it all they say
Hope you gave and sorrow you took
Clench me by this hand of yours
Take away this piece of sorrow with you.

Your absence has made a mark
Why not now you could be close
I exist when you don't
But live when you do.

And every flower that blooms today
Shall shed a petal in the name of you
You should be here by now, where are you?
The petals have fallen down.

Morning made mad.

Wish i had no class today, and i'd still be sleeping. i did though and so i had no choice but to get my ass moving. Hadn't fully opened my eyes, and i was ready for the usual yoga. couple of asanas i do, just to start my day fresh, and to remind myself, "Gauri, you ain't an elastic band" This is sure to give me a knee ache at the end of the day so...ha!(anyway, m going to do the same thing tomorrow as well :D ) After this daily routine... went in to freshen up. The next thing i saw, was the most unhappy, unpleasant, disheartening sight ever. :( i picked it up from its place. It was half dead. Not even half, i'd say 95% dead. i moaned. i neglected it from the start, and wasn't even careful of how important to me it was. More than the importance, i neglected the need of its presence. It was crying for help, and i was just there in time. Maybe i could help it in some way, or no way at all. But i had to try. Alas, i couldn't see it suffering, ...

Resist- Persist

Bare with me. Do Not read if you cannot accept sudden mood swings. It is the first rain of the year and I sit over the window sill while I write this. The night sky is illuminated- sparks bursting and threads of lightening slithering over the night sky. It has almost stopped raining and the much awaited breeze drifts around me. It's refreshing. Its a relief after tolerating the scorching heat that surrounds you throughout the day. The lightening seems to have pierced my heart in a way that makes me let out all the pain. I feel lighter. I feel nostalgic. As I type, it has stopped to pour. And I can hear the sky gurgling. I take deep breaths. The petrichor is working it's magic somehow and I am here, falling prey to it willingly. Bittersweet moments flash by as I close my eyes and let the wind take control over me. I have no control over my thoughts, my speech and my actions. I am letting it all flow in the way they want to. This might be my choice now, but 3 hours later, it...

One less problem.

You have been anxious about something definitely, and haven't had your thoughts clear in a long time. And poof! Here come the words of wisdom. :b Every person faces problems once in a while. Even if a person stays happy and has nothing to worry about for a long time, don't envy them, they'll have something to deal with soon. Sure thing that problems do arise with too much happiness at times. :b Problems arise, and they come with solutions, just hidden somewhere within the problem itself. You just have to untangle all the bits and strands. Maths is a great subject. Some don't agree, but let me tell you- you got to learn how to solve problems in real life from it. If given a sum in maths, you know there are going to be some steps or formulas that you need to apply to solve it. In the same way, to solve a problem in your life, you'll have to think about the ways in which you can possibly deal with it. The ways can be most straight forward, as in just placing val...
