ARCHITA RAI
Ah ! I skipped monday for the monday challenge. Was busy with the newly-found-love-of-my-life, power electronics and drives. 😛 But soon I got some time away from it and here I am with my another entry for this challenge.
I couldn’t find anything good than this in my room because in the campus I’ve nothing to do except attending classes and coming back to the room these days. 😦
I wanna lie down
in the shadow of the sun,
And feel the breeze
all along the run.
~
I wanna touch the blue sky
with my legs up high,
And see the clouds
coming down as I try.
~
I wanna build a home for me
in the snow,
And stare at the snow flakes
rising up in a row.
~
I wanna stand at the point
where the sky meets the sea,
And run towards the sea shore
feeling as free as I can be.
~
I wanna fall from the uphill
waving the sky a goodbye,
And suddenly spring up the parachute
to land up a new life.
It’s been long since I wanted to enter this challenge but for just one reason was unable to do so : a camera with a good capture quality. 😛
Even now I don’t have a camera but have got a new phone with good camera quality. My images are not gonna be as good as Jithins’ who has encouraged me to take up this Mundane Monday Challenge but I’ll try my best. So here goes my first entry.
Anyone who wishes to have this challenge can check trabloggers’ blog for the details.
Falling in love is very easy, some may call it a crush, infatuation while others may view it in their own way.
Any way it was, all that mattered to me was you. With every passing day, a glimpse of yours was the drug I was getting addicted to. A drug which was irresistible and which was driving me towards you more.
Beyond the love that I had for you, there was a precious friendship we shared. I never wanted anything except a shed of smile on your face that made me fall in love with you everyday.
I expressed my feelings to you with all the guts I had and you broke the friendship we had. You became a stranger after that. Whenever I saw you, the friendship in my heart would ask you to return that but you didn’t. Everyone and your newly-found-true-love got aware of my love for you but it wasn’t me who told them as you thought. It was my love for you that spoke through my eyes.
Now, I don’t want you to come back to my life ever again, it’ll make me more weak. I want you to hate me, maybe that hatred helps me forget those beautiful moments spent with you. But I’ll never regret falling for you, it will always remain the most amazing phase of my life. The only thing I’m gonna regret is not seeing your smiling face the first thing when I open my eyes every morning.

Hi friends! Aaah…it’s been one long month since I last posted something. Missed you all and your bloggings too but now I’m back and will get in touch to your posts sooner. Actually, I was busy in achieving few goals set for this month and you can’t imagine how happy I am to tell you all that I have been successful in doing so. Two of these are very close to my heart which I achieved towards the end of the month but the preparations had begun on the first day in full swing.
The first one being a grand celebration on my parents’ silver anniversary which was on 20th of June. There was so much to prepare and I was all by myself but a sister is a sister. As soon as she came from Dehradun after completing her college although, it was just 4 days before the Day, she took half of the charge and we were successful in pulling out a great celebration for them.
And the next thing I wanna celebrate is their golden anniversary. 🙂
The second most important thing that happened to me was my selection in an M.tech program of my choice in none other than the VIT university, Vellore. Yes, recently I visited Chennai for the counselling but was unsure if I could get through. But my happiness had no bounds when I felt the admission letter in my hands. And now it’s time to leave my hometown once again to achieve some more goals set for coming future.
Thank you so much everyone here who’ve always motivated me to bring out the best in me.

I have tied the string of my life with you, take it
How will the storms of this world break it.
We could never be together and whole,
We are two bodies and one soul.
Even if there is darkness all around,
Even if dark clouds surround,
And raging thunder pours,
I’ll be yours.
Stay close, stay absorbed in my life,
Like the kohl that mingles in my eyes.
Your image is in my mind making me thine,
Your name and my heartbeat intertwine,
Bolstering, strengthening, making way.
I long for your sight each day.
I am bestowed with this boon for infinity,
I found you as if I found divinity,
Now we will be together forever.
The colour of this love will never
Ever fade till the end of time.
I will be your soulmate and you mine.
Take this fair form of mine
Give me that dusky hue divine
So that I can blend with this night’s mystery
For all I want is my beloved’s company.
My honour tugs at my feet
While desire pulls at my arms
To venture out and go meet
Him and be captive to his charms.
I really don’t know which way to go
Wish someone could tell me and take me in tow.
And oh! You wretched moon
Why did you have to remove the silken shrouds
You have revealed my colour as I swoon
While you smile, gaping bright through the clouds.
Hope you too go through tough times
For making a plaything of these climes
I have lost something but gained a lot
I have got something but now I am in a spot.
Where are you taking me, my heart
After shaking my world apart ?
You are the moon that illuminates the skies,
I am the dust of Earth that aimlessly flies.
You are the God of love, my paramour,
I am a flower offered in your splendour.
You are the prayer and I am the priest,
I am the thirst and you the nectar that quenches it.
You are the limitless borders of an ocean,
I am a little wave on the jetty.
You are the notes of classical music,
I am an incomplete symphony.
You are the body and I am your shadow,
I am an error and you the power to let go.
You are the radiance of dawn,
The vermilion sun on the horizon,
You have been the echo of my breath from the start,
The joyous peacock that dances in my heart.
This dewy night,
This ethereal ambience,
There a mighty moon bright,
Dazzles with its magnificence.
♥
Why is the moonlight now quiet
After lighting up this fire?
The mixed signals of the weather
Have put our night into a quagmire.
♥
A sapphire blue sky, a dainty breeze,
These moist buds as if comatose,
In these setting of idyllic ease,
And fervent, free flowing prose.
♥
Why is this heart losing patience,
Why am I not in a state of bliss,
Why this life seeks cadence,
As if there was something amiss.
♥
My heart seeks that impossible dream
That I couldn’t find in broad daylight.
Or maybe I search for my lost sheen
In the dazzle of this night.
♥
Is there no one who remembers me
Even if by some stroke of chance,
He who would smile devastatingly
And instantly put me in a trance.
I was nominated by Prakash for the free style writing challenge about whom I’ve already mentioned in my last blog, you can see his daily reads and writes here. And I’ve also been nominated by Kritika whom I’ve recently come in contact with and I bet you wont leave her blog without reading all her awesome posts which you can check here.
And the rules for this challenge are:
The topic that i’ve been given by Prakash to complete this challenge is
THE TRAIN JOURNEY
My choice for journey has always been travelling by train except if there is an emergency or if the status of train ticket is not changed from ‘waiting list’ to ‘confirm’. The train journey fascinates me a lot and the first thing I search for whenever boarding a train is the window seat. I try my best to occupy the window seat but if luck is not on my side then I satisfy my crave for it by having few glances outside the window across the person sitting near it. The second thing that I like most about the train journey is the different type of interactions I get to have with people travelling from various parts of the country and sometimes, from different countries who visit here.
And if by any chance, I am lucky enough to sit next to the window, I never lose sight of even a single station through which the train passes along the whole journey. I know its kind of weird but at that time, the people sitting around me become invisible. 😉
When you truly love your journey, the destination is just a bonus.
time: 10 minutes

And Kritika gave me the word
REFLECTION
Scientifically, the word ‘reflection’ means a process of light or sound being reflected or thrown back. Similarly, when we see ourselves in a mirror, it shows the reflection of our image. And same goes with the life we live, whatever we give to it, life returns it to us the same way.
The way we behave with the people, our surroundings and the environment is what reflects back to us in some or the other way. If we show love and respect to them, we will gain the same but if we treat them with hatred and in a disrespectful way, we should be prepared to receive it back from them too. What we think and do reflects a lot about us, our personality and the upbringings we have been given by our ancestors.
Just a minute left and I would like to quote a line said by a famous cartoonist, Bill Watterson:
“Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real and you are just a reflection of him?”
time: 10 minutes
no. of words: 172
And I would like to nominate
