THE GIRL ON THE EVENING TERRACE

-

 


Every dusk as the sun sets
Spreading out its orange blanket,
On the bedsheet of the azure wide
I could see her shadow.
On the top of the roof nearby
Gently strolling at her own pace
As grazes a peaceful sheep
Among the vast green meadows.
I could say from her silhouette
That she must be the owner
Of the most precious jewel,
That the world has ever seen.
I don't know who she actually is
Or what she indeed wants to be
But if beauty is an empire
Then she is its queen.
Like a cheerful butterfly
Like a fresh gust of wind
Like a spell of magic
She walks along the railings.
I swear had I been
The master of poets
I would have finished my ink
In the act of her praising.
Is she a fairy? , is she an angel?
Or is she a Goddess?
Who had alighted for us
Her presence on the terrace
Is just for a few minutes,
But my mind beholds her memory
For hours and hours.
Sometimes she glances,
Just for a few seconds
But those seconds slow down
Into ages in my heart,
I know time is cruel
But I can even request
To stop for a while for me
And let not the moment depart.
A moment so magical
That my pains vanish
And makes my day so bright and so good
That I forget the universe around
I forget who did me wrong
And who talked to me rude.
In dreams, she often visits
Speaks not but smiles
And then looks up
In the open dark sky
I wish at that moment
I could embrace her 
And claim her from the universe
Claim her to be mine
But life plays another way
Where it always disposes
What our hopeful mind
Has struggled to propose
And takes away the happiness
Snatching in a cruel way
Out of our hands
Just from under our nose.
Later I came to know
That the girl whom I saw
Was just a mere past
Not someone very true
I had got goosebumps
As my heart broke
And the very next day,
High fever took the suit.
The shadow was a mirage
Of my broken mind
A mirage of a soul
Who haunts that house
She was once thrown
From the same old terrace
Because she had one
Abusive crooked spouse
And lost her life, but not her roots
On the roof every evening she loves to pace
And most unluckily, I had fallen in love
In love with the girl
On the evening terrace.

THE CYBER FRIEND

  THE CYBER FRIEND Lucifer     Life is an amazing journey. No one knows where they are going to land. Some earn unbound fame and some become latent depending on time, situation, and state of mind. But the fact is, no one can predict or know in advance how it is all going to be. Some say that is the fun about life. While some feel a bit more comfortable knowing stuff beforehand. And sometimes life itself plays it mesmerisingly        It all begins with the lockdown of 2020. The world was served miseries by China's first authentic product, the Novel Corona Virus. This had a great impact on the entire globe, snatching jobs, causing discomfort, unbound number of infection cases, and deaths. Those who survived were living in trauma. Relative, friends, and loved ones were lost, governments became bankrupt. On one such remorseful evening, Ranveer went up the terrace and stood quietly. Suddenly a call comes and he rushes down to attend to it. He sits by his laptop and completes the projec

FROM THE OTHER END : PART 1

      Adi went to bed very late that night. Luckily, the next day was Sunday. So he could peacefully sleep for a long time. But wait. You guys don't know what he had actually done. Neither did Adi himself know. Well, before jumping into his weirdest works, let me give you a brief heads up about this talented guy and his works of talent. Well, I am not making any sarcastic remarks here. Adi indeed was talented. After all, he was a student at the prestigious Cambridge University. A brilliant student with an exceptional brain in Quantum Computing. Legends claim that he was previously a hacker who used to hack around for noble causes. Like the deletion of thousands of vulgar content from the dark web, targeting and bankrupting paedophiles and transferring that money to welfare organizations and NGOs, being completely hidden. Although there has been no strong evidence to prove that but his daily lifestyle proves the claim. Adi is a typical nerd. He gets up late, rushes to his college, g

Mission: HAYABUSA

  MISSION HAYABUSA --- Lucifer     Once someone rightly said, "If you want something from the very bottom of your heart, you will definitely get it someday. Maybe later, but for sure." Love too follows the rule. Separations can come, and hearts might get broken due to certain scenarios. But if you stick to your faith in love, you will find it one day.       As Perman was leaving for the Bird planet, Pako was waving goodbye, along with her colleagues, Payan and Booby. But little did she know that the departures would be so painful. That night, when Pako sat on her bed, removed her Perman set, and turned into herself, into Sumire Hoshino, she began to feel a queer pain down her heart. She felt as if something was missing. She took her Perman badge and was about to make Perman a call. But then she remembered what Birdman had said. "You cannot use it for personal purposes. You will need to use it only when you are in an emergency and need backup." So she refrained from
