Shattered Dreams

-
She posed! Wide angle, then a little closer.
Those pearly white teeth shone so bright
Just like the summer sun outside.
She smiled, happy she was
London Dreams reflected in her wide smile. Was she alone? No, there were many like her! London was just eight hours away!!

Oh, is it? Yes, there was another like her with wild dreams. She was finally going to be reuinted- a lifetime of togetherness. Her dark brownish hands, the red bangles just worn yesterday. And the daimond ring and platinum bangles given by her Mr Adorable. She adorned them all, she was meeting him finally. 

The young mother gleaming with joy, finally London Dreams were coming true. She planned how to set up the house, her wishlist still having seventy nine items to be procured for her new 'London Home.' She took that instant selfie and converter it into a status, yeah finally her much awaited journey began 

Who knew those wild dreams, those happy moments would be the last. No more selfies, no conjugal life, no setting up a new home together. Everything got shattered in a fiction of a second. Those wild London Dreams now shattered in the wilderness of Time to be remembered as a Dark Day. The empty nests, the wailing souls, shattered dreams, all a matter of time now!!!

I have had the best English teachers ever, well that should be since I studied in a Convent and a teacher teaching English in a Convent school definitely must be exceptional, out of the box. Yes, I vividly remember the first time I fell in love with the language was when our very strict (that was our assumption then, since we couldn't master English grammar and was scared that she might ask us questions and we would be embarrassed before the class) Miss Monica (well she was a Mrs, but we Convent going girls were taught to address everyone irrespective of their marital status as Miss) started teaching us English in Grade 9. I was awestruck at the manner she explained the chapters and made grammar lessons at ease for us. I still remember she always used to wear light coloured floral printed sarees which made her look prett...

Nostalgia

As I try to sleep in the comforts of the airconditioner I reminiscence the good old days, Days when the sultry summer nights would be so different. Our villa like house on the foothills of the great Nilachal was very spacious and had ample fruit bearing trees along with different varients of the hibiscus- a typical Bengali household who worships Goddess Kali.  The darkness on a night when electricity would be gone for hours and we would be sitting outside our houses.  Me scared to hell of ghosts, leopards or snakes venturing in the darkness.. Would always carry the biggest torchlight and a stick. I remember how all four of us - My parents and my brother including me would watch the fireflies and listen to the sounds of some wild insects.  Dad and Mom would share stories of their childhood, of our grandparents, their hardwork and struggles, of the Indo- China war when they were kids. The Assam Agitation, the struggle and success stories of their job hunts and so more. Mom ...
