Letters of Love...

In today's world when the virtual world is taking over the real world and relationships...
I can't help but wonder are real emotions too giving away to virtual expression of feelings...
There was a time when love stories meant love letters written to one another..I remember I had found a letter safely kept in one of Dada's books with a dried up rose inside which he had written to my Dadi..
My Dad had written love letters to my mum which they are too embarrassed to show us(though i always insist..!!)...!!


But nowadays this lovely gesture has been replaced by texts messages and (the worst part)status updates professing ones love....
Most of my friends and acquaintances first proclaimed their love through texting or phone calls and emails...
Have we lost the hand written love letter in our digital world then?


When we were in school and we used to have these silly fights with each other,and things got worse, we used to write a letter to each other to peacefully prove our point and put an end to our fight...
Some years back i had written a letter to Riko on Christmas day with a Christmas card(sketched really silly-ly!) which she still has with her...!


I am not much of an email person though letters(silly letters..) come kinda naturally to me...!
Many years back(when i had lots of time to waste!) I used to buy a dozen stamps every month because of my habit of writing letters...But now I've fallen out of my habit of writing letters(and i don't have even buy postage stamps..) maybe due to the lack of time or my laziness....
Every year on Ju(my elder sister)'s birthday i write a letter to her and try to make it sound as much funny as possible but still she cries after reading it..!! Sometimes i write silly notes to my mum and she tells me I'm silly but i know she loves reading  those...




Letters are the most beautiful way of expressing one's love and any kind of love...!
And what could be more romantic than getting a love letter from someone....
There's this essence of that person in a hand written letter which is far more romantic than a sms or email....
You may call me old fashioned or backdated but I am still the " letter person " that i used to be..!

Monday blues..!

Today while coming out of my Biology tuition I slipped but then I somehow regained my balance.!! Yes I slipped again..!!A year back on my 16th birthday I slipped and fractured my ankle!!Actually it's my fault only there are two staircases in my biology tuition both leading to the exit, one is the normal kinda stairs which we generally have and the other one is a spiral staircase which opens outwards (yes you can even see the sky from it's broken corners!) but it doesnot even have a railing in some places and it's extremely narrow(exactly the size of my foot!!yes I did measure it!!) and steep!! So as you may have guessed by now I regularly use the spiral staircase!!Girls in my tuition can't even think of using that staircase and I don't know why even guys don't use it!!(maybe they are scared!!).. I really don't understand why I love those 'danger stairs' (yes my friends call it that) so much but I actually do..I remember once when I was about four or

Just As long as we are together

This is a poem i had written when i was in the 6th standard and our group nearly broke.....I admit This poem has lots of flaws and abstractions but for me this poem really means a lot..... I remember the time we were standing with our faces to the sun.. Picturing our times to come Many a clouds have passed by since we stood under the same sky Talking in the summer sights.. Howling at the city lights I still remember the time that passed.. Pulling pranks just for fun Summer vacations were such a blast the kind of memories that will always last.. Growing up in future seemed such a thing We thought we knew what it would bring.. The stars seemed so clear from our domain.. I sure could handle some of those good times again.. Even if our dreams still seem far away.. Our friendship is always here to stay.. Until we are all gone.. The roads between us will never be too long...... I have been putting this off for quite sometime now, thinking I’d write this post “later” but I figured there is no

Aaj fir ek cigarette...

Here's a poem written by my friend who is trying to quit smoking and below it is my reply poem to him ... Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hun,, uski nazar me ye ek gunaah hai, mai to uske waade bhula raha hu,, Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.. samajhna mat isko meri aadat,main to bus dhuaan ura raha hu, ye uski yaado ka silsila hai, mai uski yaaden jala raha hu.. mai peekar itna behek chuka hu ki gham ke kisse suna raha hu.. agar tumhein bhi ghm hai to aao,main pee raha hu aur pila raha hu... ek cigarette ki shama k bahane main apne aap ko jala raha hu.. Aaj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.....                                                                                     ~ Akash  Gam ko aasuyo se na piya toh kya piya.. gam ko zindagi mei na badal diya toh kya jiya..  Gam ko dhuye mei urane ki addat nahi humko, hum toh isi dard k nashe,ki addat mei jiye huye hai..!
