Another 365

I ricochet off in the chilly trains jutting across different places
Through the days and the nights
There I sit, listening to the thuds
the wheels make while rolling out onto the tracks
I meet people of different kinds
Speaking unknown yet common tongues. Their phones ringing in different tones and their eyes sparkling as their food is served hot.
I'm journeying to a destination that I am aware of yet unaware.
My second home it might be,
Yet holding a thousand promises and trenches in its wide spread arms,
Welcoming me into its fold.
I've just got a year with you, I say, everytime I think about it.
Perhaps, it is 365 days that changed you into what you dreamed to become and another 365 will make you the one you have never imagined to be, it says.. :)

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
