The day shall come

I'm there with you, my dear.
I'll hug you whenever you cry,
I'll give my best to save you from the bad guys,
I'll turn my prayer beads for you every moment,
I'll let everybody know what you've been through,
I'll lend my warm shoulders for you to lean on,
Let me carry you on my hips,
I'll show you the huge glowing ball on the dark skies,
it's far far away from the place we live in,
I'll let you dream that far,
And I'll help you live them too.
I'm standing up now with shaky hands,
But all I have in mind is you,
That tear you shed,
That baton you took,
That plea you cried,
That prayer you wailed,
I promise to be by your side,
Not leave you till you rise,
I'll cover myself with your flag,
I'll treat you like my child.
The time shall come,
When you rise up to the red,
Clamp them with your thousand rays,
Ride on your snow lions
and take your people back home.
The day shall come, my child.

                                          CHAPTER 1 It was one of those days of monotony that Maureen had to spend. Sitting outside the office cabin of her boss, answering the ever- ringing phones, charting out schedules for his day, making arrangements for client meetings and lunch calls and such other things a secretary is paid to do. It was the eve of her first year of wedding anniversary and also the day when she is about to get paid for the month long mixed bag of work she had executed so perfectly. But her boss was quite rigid and insensitive. He never got to recognize the quality with which she executed her work. Long past eight, she returned home with her wallet full of fresh cash and a huge box of assorted gifts for her husband, whom she had been yearning to see. She had already missed the lunch date for that day, they had planned the previous day, because of her ever-complaining boss. As she walked into the hall, she saw the telly set blaring with stoma

To share...

As I was walking on the narrow pavements flooded with rain water near my college, I saw an old man with a heavily rimmed, almost broken pair of glasses just sticking to his nose. He was very feeble and exhausted of all spirit. He wore a tattered and almost brown dhoti and was barefoot, leaning on a stick. He sat on one corner and started to open his packet of food that he had luckily earnt for the day.  His hands terribly shook when he unwound the packet and by the time he opened it, half the food was spilt on the ground and he had just a bare minimum to fill his stomach with. He laid the packet slowly on the ground and started to eat it. Just as he was beginning to eat, there was a stray dog beside him lying on the hard floor. It seemed to be recently stoned in a terrible way, that it was even unable to move, it kept looking at his packet of food with yearning eyes. The old man looked at the dog, he stared at it quietly for a while, and then to my surprise, his fa
