The Scent of "My" Woman

Dimpled cheeks, a warming smile
Eyes of sparkling pearl
Yes, it all started
When she was but a girl

Daddy's baby, mamma's pet
Touch-me-not and shy
In talks & jokes, in laugh & play
Didn't knew when the time flew by

Destiny, meanwhile, had other plans
It put her in a territory so strange
Her innocent mind couldn't concur
That times were about to change

Just when she spread her wings
Her ambition was deprived
Dreams shattered, hopes battered
She cried, and cried but survived

To sit back and grieve was worthless
To move on was wise
First lesson hence learned here
Life's sometimes a compromise.

And then, there was someone...

Was he just a friend or more
Her heart writhed in doubt
Somewhere both knew the answer
But the bloke wont speak out

Thanks to her, he did confess one day
And the intimacy started to prosper
Compassion flowed, love mellowed
No one could love like her

The time they spent together
She colored it with her vitality
With her grace and vivace
They transcended to tranquility

The time she spent waiting
For the distances to shrink
She lit her candle of love
With every heartbeat, every blink

Prompt to apologize when she missed a mark
Ready to forgive when he did
Always caring and thinking of him
In his dreams, she made hers hid

From demanding to fulfilling
From seeking to nourishing
She adapted with such ease as if
This was the reason for her being

And this is not a mysterious miracle
The answer is an easy one
The girl who fell in love one day
Is turning into a woman.

Happy Women's Day -- In celebration of God's best ceration

Migration

Clear Mist is my third blogosphere since i knew what blogging was (or i thought i knew). I started the first one during my seventh sem in engineering, scribbled something and was very happy to see my own contents on the anyone-can-view-it-from-anywhere platform. It didn't take long for me to realize the same thing again - "anyone can view it from anywhere, so I better remove my crap before someone reads it!". The second innings began at my stint at Persistent Systems (a product-based software firm in Pune), with a couple of humorous posts. I've still retained them, though both posts seem out of place with a '2007' tag. I had titled that blog Laughter is Contagious, but as contagious would imply - I might have spread it but apparently I was soon cured of my own humor, and that blog stagnated at the very state it began with.

So here I am, migrated to a new land (or e-land?? whatever!), with a caption and tagline that would virtually allow me to post anything (crap or even worse crap). Though I am very fond of oxymorons, that's not how Clear Mist originated. In fact, I see clear mist every morning!

Its a foggy Jan here at Guwahati, and every morning when I go "dhoom machake" on my pedalled bike to the department, the visibility is just knee high - the fog floats two three feets above the ground. So even though you can see nothing ahead, you can see the road that lays below - follow it, and if you just know which turns to take, you'll reach to the acad building, safe and sound.

Venky Super Thought #1: Sometimes we are really confused with our lives, not knowing what to do next. But what we do know is the constraints that binds us, either self-imposed or simply imposed. So if we start moving towards wherever destiny takes us, but make wise choices along the way, we'll still end up where we always wanted to.

As I said, now I can post anything :)
Do come back if you don't want to, and if you want to - don't complain then that I didn't warn.
