'To Her Next Best Friend'

"You may have a large bunch of people around you. You may also have a huge friend circle and not willing to add more names to that. But you will fall for her friendship. It's inevitable. That energy which flows out when she speaks. The spark spark in her eyes and the way they crunch when she smiles and laughs, the way her eyes get rolled up when something dorky is said, the way she reacts when she is down and sad; every single thing of hers will force you to be-friend her. You should know that her eyes light up when she talks about moon and space, you need to calm her down when she's excited or else she will end up apologizing!! You should know that she hates being called liar too. Make sure you make her feel her presence. Make sure you always meet after certain time gap. Promise me you will never complain about her to her of not sticking to her promises. Or else tears will roll out from her eyes. She has always been there for her best friend and I assure you her presence whenever needed. Sometimes she would be down with unkown reason, tell her that 'day & night' are parts & parcels of life. Ensure your presence whenever needed. She, if feels comfortable with you, would sing over the phone. A magical voice filled with positivity would enter you ears and make you function in positive manner. Do not get irritated for the reason she loves to talk and share. While ending the day ensure she takes a sound sleep or else she would be grumpy the very next day.  Make sure that the smile on her face never disappears. She love chocolates. And do not mix up yourself with it coz you would be a 'nut'. Appreciate her, praise her every single moment when after the tiring day she plans to have coffee with you.
To the one who would be her next 'Besty', ensure that you don't mix up the things.
To whomsoever she makes her best friend, appreciate every single moment that makes you feel that you both are the 'BEST Friends FOREVER'."

  1. I like how you say your goodbye, wrapped up in nostalgia, and peacefully. How in that peace, there is a sense of loss and acceptance. How you have noted the small things that make her, her. I like that you say all of that to her next best friend - because it's not important you're not the bestie anymore, it's important that she is happy. I like how it shows your love and appreciation for the beauty her presence brought to your life.
    This piece is so full of love and quiet acceptance. Hope you find more people to care for as deeply as you did her.

    1. Dear Anonymous,

      Thanks for the beautiful comment. However she still does't have the large number of friends. And I feel lucky enough to still be her Best Friend. There is no better 'Best Friend than a Sister'

The Day In Life

 I sit here surrounded not by humans although with those endless thoughts that are echoing in my head since last night post your departure. Hey Little Angle!! I write here sitting, for you, under the sky talking to clouds and asking them about your well-being. Just been 24 hours you had left home to kick off your new life. However it still seems to be a dream to acknowledge the fact that you are now officially a woman. A girl who just few hours back was the most pampered kid of the home now is a wife to someone whom you would tag as your LIFE. The time has flown with Godspeed. The night sky doesn't talk and the day doesn't let me communicate my emotions well. It would be hard to steal time in the years following. We do not share blood relation. The amount of love and care you have been blessed by your own people is much more than I could have, solely, blessed you with. All I could have done last night was to be a part of the group of people who came forward to bid you farewell

The Next Step

Expected & accepted The life lied And reality distracted Leaving protected Family directed. The plea Staying back rejected Starting new Scared too Stepping steps Other side of doorstep The world waited. I hesitated For the final seeing To start believing To live while dreaming To see twin changing The domicile. Wishes, Lucks, Greetings Maybe self failed to share The ongoing changes. The night most feared Bidding farewell While few smiled The world left behind CRIED - Pushkin Channan

Those Heart Attacks

The news happy or sad, confused. the reaction i knew. far & away the distances uncovered I'll fail acknowledging them. the calculations  missed & not corrected imperfections surround me. staying grounded looking high I'll see you vanishing. the airplanes, the airport your crossing boundaries I'll wait for the turn for me to take over to leave you in tears. being on driver's seat getting things done I'll thank the 'Monopoly'. no not heartless just following the footsteps for once I was scared was being done to me. gracefully embraced I'll duplicate the same. - Pushkin Channan
