I’m a social animal and I need internet just as much as I need food, shelter and clothes. But, most importantly, I need good friends in my life. So when I’m not eating grass or lying around half naked being lazy on my bed, I’m in touch with my friends. I love reading books and writing poems which almost always gets me in trouble at home. I’m pretty sure my parents think I’ll probably be a good show piece at a museum or fit in perfectly in a zoo.
So anyways, a couple of days ago, I was browsing
through my Goodreads and Facebook account, and I found out that one of my
friends, who sings wonderfully, had posted a collage picture on Facebook and,
as soon as I saw it, I knew somewhere deep inside me, I was ‘feeling’ it. I had
to follow that ‘feeling’ or else it would be lost in the wilderness forever.
I told ‘her’ (you heard it right! It’s a girl!)
right away that I need to write a poem which suits her personality, as depicted
in the collage picture. She was excited and so was I. She threw in a bucket of
cool water on my head (Not really!) and gave me a permission to kick start my
creative mind or whatever I have ‘up there’. I prefer to call my creative mind,
cuckoo! Don’t ask!
As soon as I finished writing, I pinged and
asked her whether she’s ready for it. She was. I told her not to share the poem
with anybody and she agreed. A few minutes later, she was reading this:
“You smile on
a summer day,
As if, to
capture the heart of the day.
You pout in
the darkness of the night,
As if, to
capture the soul of the night.
Your hair –
soft, dark and brown,
Make the
chirping crickets fall prey.
Your eyes –
beautiful, seductive and sexy,
Stir the heart
of the ocean in a way.
Your mole –
black and gracious,
Wards off all
the evil away.
You, Princess,
The beauty of
the night,
And,
The beauty of
the day,
With your
presence on this planet,
Sends the
nature in the trance, always… ”

And, then there was silence; silence so loud
that our neighbors came out on the streets in numbers and called police to file
a complaint. I’m kidding! They called the post office! While she was reading
the poem I wrote for her, my heart was pounding and I felt like my heart beats
were actually drum beats used in a secret ritual of a secret society. Too much
of Dan Brown, I assume.
When she finished reading the poem, at first,
she couldn’t believe it. She was so overwhelmed that all she could say was, Rishi,
I’m smiling! She was so excited that she even asked me whether she can
show this poem to her best friends. I agreed, hoping they too would like it. I was happy that she was happy!
A collage of pictures it was which forced me on
a journey to a distant unknown island in an unknown world which led to a cute
smile on my cute friend. Following instincts, or heart to be precise, may
sometime lead to the most beautiful memories which will never be forgotten.
This is my story. Where’s yours?
