They give me butterflies..

I used to be a bit scared of butterflies.
There i said it.
This is one of the most embarrassing facts of my life... I can actually be blackmailed with this.!
 I know butterflies are usually referred to as fragile and beautiful (only the colored ones) creatures but i used to be hell scared of the big black colored butterflies which always darted towards me.
I am more or less over this "phobia" now but i still don't like to be in the same room with a butterfly!
I'm okay with spiders,lizards,cockroaches(not when they fly towards me),rats,snakes and all the pesky creatures people are usually scared of. But somehow i cant seem to make peace with the (err..) butterflies.
 In Bengali there's this joke that if a butterfly sits on you,you might get married soon.
I don't know how that is possible but whenever a butterfly landed on me, i went hyper and ran here and there and hid myself somewhere,my dadi and mummy joked that maybe it means I'll get married soon(now this scared me more than the butterfly and i shouted naaaaaaaahhhh!).

 I was also scared of the dark as a child.. There's an old graveyard next to my house and my friends who lived nearby told me stupid stories about people seeing ghosts walking at night so it made my fear even worse... I used to avoid going to the terrace in the evening and was apprehensive about switching off the lights at night...
Then one day my dad came to know about this and he took me to the darkest corner of our terrace and left me there saying "i should stand here till I'm called inside".
 I was terribly scared of the dark and kept looking on the side of the graveyard which looked dark and creepy in the moonlight which scared me all the more.
I felt really angry on my dad and even wanted to cry at his heartlessness but all this seemed more like a challenge now...
So I stood there in the dark September night looking up at the stars and somehow i started thinking of Zoro(I was too much in love with the "Legend of Zoro" series.) and that maybe if something happens he might come to get me...
Anyway Zoro saved the day that night, i won that challenge and also the sympathy of my mother.
I did overcome my fear of darkness, and being alone when there's a power cut doesn't bother me that much..

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..!
