And so I'll smile......

Always a smile, I love to bare,
But often I find its hard to share.
A million thoughts zoom across my head,
While carefully choosing the paths I tread.
For many of them that cross my way,
With eyes of scorn seem to say:
'Come not near, or we would tear;
And rip you down until you frown!'
Glaring eyes that scan you through,
Your dress, your form and everything you own.
Its hard to miss that glint of green - so dark!
An emerald would step down in speed.
Underneath the plastic smiles and fake 'J'adores',
Lies that tunnel of gossip galore!
And that 'precious' we call the Heart
That falls in love with secrets dark;
Ruby red and crystal clear, to the naive, it seems to be.
Fools them all, but I can see, darker than Sapphire* it appears to me.
Alarmed, I guard my precious:  A Glass Heart in a Crystal Frame.
Broken once it may have been, shattered pieces fixed with care.
All I did was pass a smile, freely sharing all the while
Any joy and cheer I can, at every step and every mile.
For many like me will need a smile
To change their mood or brighten their day
And so I'll smile, come what may...
And flash those whites all the way!

The ugly duckling

I think I've always been fascinated by the ugly duckling story and somewhere deep down I was sure that people will see the swan in me some day....although I had, rather still have no clue hows its going to manifest itself. For the major part of my life it never bothered me that I was ugly. I was still better than most at a lot of things, academics, dramatics, art, singing and various other activities ( well clearly I always got the chance to showcase my efforts at all these and therefore I think I'm good at them :P ) and since I had so many talents why do I need to bother with beauty - it's only skin deep right? But I guess whatever said and done I'm still a woman and it is every woman's secret wish to be that beautiful swan someday that would find her prince charming and live a happily ever story (if ever there was one! ). Or have a guy that's absolutely adores you just 'cause you are beautiful and charming and blah blah! So when a friend of mine s...

How do you know he/she is the ONE???

Many people are baffled by the idea of "arranged marriages". "How do you know he/she is the one from a couple of meetings you've had?", they ask me. 'Mirror mirror on the wall who is my knight in shinning armour????  How am I supposed to know???  I'm still human last time I checked!! That's when you wish some kind of magic existed in this world. Or time travel was actually possible - so you could take a sneak peek and see the "ONE" who is destined to bring you happiness, fulfillment and every other emotion, words associated with marriage bring. Anyway here's my thought. I think everyone has some idea of what his/her partner should be like. ( This is a pre- requisite for people who are thinking of arranged marriages, in case ur thinking WTF!!) If its any consolation.......you have to meet a few people before you decide he or she is the one for you. Why???? Well I think, everytime you meet a person, you learn something new about...

Happy Easter!!

Today was the first time I was going for the Easter vigil mass. It was at 11:30 pm. We had to stand during the mass, but I dint think that was a bad idea...your last little sacrifice. Besides I had a comfortable spot where I could see the mass happening on tv. So anyway I thought the mass was going pretty well. And the time came for the priests to bless the congregation with holy water. So as the priests came to the area where I was standing and blessed the people with holy water, I din't have even a drop of water fall on me! And I thought, 'that's it, it maybe because I din't actually feel sorry for my sins and din't do as many sacrifices, or pray as often, or never tried hard enough to be a good girl'. And I started to panic thinking I wasn't worthy to receive the Risen Lord. I felt so upset that the Lord ignored me ( well so I thought) and thought all was lost. You know how a little kid cries for his/her parents wen he/she is lost in a crowd? The de...
