Akash


I run and I run,
But I can't find her
She says she's waiting
She's not too far
And then I see,
And my heart jumps in glee
Just beside an old building
Stands my cute little girl in tee.
Black beauty, was my first thought
Whoa, she's damn fair
But the moment I look into her
She hits back with a glare.
Difficult akash, difficult
I keep murmuring within
This girl is something else
But what makes you so keen?

On my bike, I give her a ride,
Could life be any better?
I remember the date, I remember it all
The first time that I met her.
She loves the rain, 
She loves to check out men,
Yet somewhere she's nice and shy,
She has a head, which is full of wit
With a few texts she can make me fly.
I drop her that day,
And it starts to rain,
And I think, how time just flew away;
A few more minutes,
A few more seconds,
But lord had other plans ahead
I leave her that day,
But she stayed with me
And with her some memories
Which will perhaps never fade...

"Confused eh?"
"Nayyy...what am i supposed to be confused with Akash?"
"See girl, you have a good life, all settled in Canada, with a good work. So surely I won't be saying that you are confused with these things, would I?"
"God knows what's in store for me. I am born and brought up in India, its been more than a decade am here in Canada, but then again, I still possess the same orthodox and conservative views. Here I see people, many being Indians as well, but I don't like them, I don't like them at all."
"And why is so maam?"
"They are too loud, proud and arrogant. I can't even decide at this point of time where I should settle, coz if I decide to be here in Canada, and suddenly I start liking someone from my hometown, then I would be landing up in a conflict with my own self.."
"Yo maam, guess I have to get back to work, coz its morning here in India."
"Good morning then I guess"
"And a very good night to you."

Canada...ummm...I watched a documentary by Michael Moore sometime back titled 'Sicko' and it claimed that Canada has the second best health insurance system on this planet. Hence, the very name of that country instills some sort of respect for the place. Life has to be perfect there. Then what's this girl whining about? Low population, advanced technologies, cool weather, everything is just so.....PERFECT.
I twist and turn on my chair, and I think how to frame my thoughts. My friend had asked me this morning to throw some light on this circumstance, and I had committed that by the time she wakes up, she will find her answer in my blog. Now as I write, I suddenly feel like being in her shoes and see the world. Being a girl in first person...wow! 

Today or tomorrow I have to marry. I am a normal girl, and I will lead a normal life. But then again, cummon..I just can't marry any Tom, Dick and Harry! By heart and soul am an Indian, hence marrying a foreigner is totally out of question. It's a long time have been here though...would it make any difference if I marry a blonde? Love is afterall what matters at the end of the day.
Impossible. 
The Indian guys here are a bunch of morons though. God help me. Don't know what they think of themselves. A home abroad gets on their heads I guess. Jerks! So proud, so arrogant, how am I supposed to spend my life with such people? Duh! No problem, am coming over to India in a few months time, will find a nice Indian boy. Life would be beautiful...
Am I nuts! What will happen here then? My home, my job, my parents! I can't leave everything for a guy. Or can I? I can sacrifice this much for love, can't I? Don't know...

Beeeeeeeeeep. I better be myself rather than her. Money, love, relationships..in search of a good life, we actually tend to mess up with life itself at times. Craving for a humongous solace, we tend to give up the small, tender moments of life. But I guess these are the moments which make our lives. I do not know about good or bad guys. Have always considered a human being to be like coffee. The amount of sugar which will make the coffee perfect depends on the consumer's taste glands. But then again, coffee should be served in a cup or mug, not in a plate. A plastic cup would serve the purpose better than a silver plate.

"I just felt like talking to you, and hence gave you a call. Hope I didn't disturb you Akash."
"When I have work, will let you know. Till then, keep talking.."
