A friend #NeverLetsYouDown

We hardly find someone who listens to us. I don’t mean - hear. I mean - listen. Like, they care for our words; they listen and don’t judge. To have such a person in our lives is a blessing. And, I am lucky to be blessed with such a friend. Nina - independent, creative, humble, and with a heart of gold. But to be a friend, we seek much more in a person than these qualities. There has to be a connection that binds us together down the road. Don’t you all agree? A connection that we build over the years. This connection is nurtured by the qualities of love, trust, and reliability.

I met Nina through a common friend at her boutique. Oh, I forgot to say, she is a successful designer. As an entrepreneur, she just wins you over. You can rely on her. She never fails to deliver and stays put on her promises. She is one of the reasons, I started my own business. It’s not only in the business matters but also in small things that often gets unnoticed, reliability is one of her best qualities. Be it lending an ear in times of stress or helping me out in a task - she is always there for me. She is my 3am friend!

I am not singing her praises without a reason. Eleven years is a solid testimony. There are many people who came and left in these years. She, on the other hand, has stood by me through thick and thin. I know, when I share a secret - she keeps it. When I behave irrationally - she understands. Best of all - she accepts me as I am. Such is our friendship - built on trust. I trust her completely, and I hope, she too has faith in me.

There have been times when we didn’t talk to each other for days or even months. But whenever there was a need, she did what I asked without asking a single question. Her love and support are unconditional. For that, I am eternally grateful.

I wonder how she manages so many roles and excels in all of them -  a successful entrepreneur, loving mother, caring wife, a true friend and the backbone of her family. And, the bigger wonder - how she manages to look like a diva! With every passing year, she looks even better. There is so much to learn from her. As a human being, she is an inspiration. As a friend, she #NeverLetsYouDown!

The next good thing to a friend is our phone. It’s with us 24X7. What if we get a phone that has the same qualities as we have in our friends - connection, reliability, and strength? Wouldn’t that be awesome! Try Lava Mobiles -

Being Human

Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
