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!

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

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

Meeting with Mr. IIMA - part 4

" Dad's not worried, he's ok...", I said, "he was telling me you would ask a lot of questions and stuff.."   I was terribly restless by now. 'That's it I can't be bothered. I can't take it anymore!', I thought to myself....... "And he told me to discuss the future and what my plans are", I said.  Its amazing how you can just say things like that but I think that was limit of my patience. " So any more questions?", I asked him. "Questions?.."he laughed, "....this is not an interview". YES I KNOW!!! But I cant take it anymore and I'm dying to get out!!! "Okie so I've told you about my job, future, kids (imagine discussing that with a total stranger!!).....oh and cooking!!!", I said, ignoring the little voice inside me saying Sheens enough is enough, behave yourself.  "Ok if there's a table of food out here..", I said, gesturing to the table in front of us, "...I
