When I was a little girl, my mother was my role model. She taught me everything. I loved everything about her.The way she carried herself. The way she took care of the family. The way she was always there whenever I or anyone in the family needed her. The way she always had a smile on her face no matter how difficult the circumstances would have been. But the thing I am glad that she taught me was how to always take things in a positive way.To be optimistic.That seems like so simple and cliche but believe you me it's the most difficult thing to do. And this very thing helps me everyday.And you know what made me even more happy and proud, the fact that I did the same thing to someone else. The love of my life. If you have ever loved someone you would understand that it kills you when the other person is sad or low with something. But now things have changed and that makes me proud.
Her name is Kusum. She always makes everyone smile like a kusum (read flower).I had never seen her depressed with something. But things have changed over time. She lives alone now as all others had to move due to work or education.She is still there where we all were sometime.I miss that happy place.She is all alone there. And probably this makes her sad. When I went home last time, I was shocked to see her this way.I was loosing it myself but then it occurred to me that if I also behave the same way, who will take care of her. I convinced myself that I will act strong enough to make her realize exactly what she taught me long back. It was difficult. But I am glad that I was able to. And you know, she took it very seriously. She listened to each and every word I said. She believed in me. She believed that I have grown up now. I was happy.
And I will be there whenever she needs me. And I will tell her what she taught me whenever she forgets it. And I just want her to carry on that smile forever. I owe it to her.

Boy's Don't Cry
I still remember when i was a teeny-tiny baby, i used to cry whenever my mother was not around. And people used to tell me that boy's don't cry. I had no clue why they said this. I still don't. God intended to create a balance between the two sexes. One was built physically strong and the other mentally. Each of them is not complete without the other.They complement each other. But somehow the way people look at it is entirely different. Boy's are not supposed to melt. It does not look good.Girls cry all the time. You know what, it does not matter what sex are you, it's all about how deeply you were attached with something that is no more or on the verge of destruction. How damn close to your heart it was ! I am not saying crying is the way out of everything bad happening to you. It's just that there are times when you are overwhelmed with emotions, you just can't escape it.
There was a time when I used to play football. I started in my second year in college and soon found out that i was so in love with it. The time in the evening when we used to practice in our hostel premises was no doubt the best thing through out the day for me. Then we used to put the lights on as we still always had the energy t0 play more even after the sun said goodbye.
I so wanted to play for my hostel team. And I could have achieved that but god had other plans. I developed a severe pain in my chin a month before the event. The doctor said you have a muscle tear and excessive running is not good for you. Ever again.I was so broke. It even became difficult to watch my friends play without me.I felt so low.It was a tough time.But they say that boy's don't cry.
Our parents do so much for us. They sacrifice a lot of things for us. They love us more than anything. They work hard all their life to support us. So that we can have everything we wish for.My parents were always there when i needed them. I couldn't have asked for anything more. But then came a time when they needed me and I couldn't be there. They said you need to be at the place you are to settle down. Take your time son. Don't worry. It felt really bad. And all that they have done for me came flashing back to me. Damn circumstances ! But they say that
boy's don't cry.
Have you ever been in love ? Have you ever believed in a person more that yourself ? Has someone changed the way you look at things ? Has someone made you a better human being ? And what if that person is like a thousand miles away from you ! And what if you don't get to see that person everyday. It's difficult. You have to feel it to know it. But it's damn difficult. And sometimes it goes full throttle. You loose it. But they say that boy's don't cry.
It's an unfair world. Some don't even have the money to buy food and others buy and waste more than that.Some don't even have the money to buy cloths and others buy and use once.Some can't afford education and others take it as fun.And when I see those unfortunate ones, it makes me sad. Very sad.But they say that boy's don't cry.

Lifeline Musical
Its a cubical.And there are million other cubicle's surrounding it.And there are equal numbers on all other floors of that office.And inside those enclosed spaces are people working like robots.Its iterative.Its repetitive.They keep working.Like robots.Sam is one of them.He has had enough for the day.He just wants to go home and spend some time with someone.Someone really special who takes away all that pain.Someone who makes him feel happy.That special someone is his guitar.
Its a hospital.Numerous patients and their kins.All worried for different reasons.Some of them recuperating.Others still in pain.This hospital has something different in store for the patients.There are speakers all over the hospital all playing old time instrumentals.The doctors feel that music makes you feed good and when that happens you heal faster.
It's a disc.And oye, it's Friday.People are done for the week and just want to rock with the music and drink on the rocks.The Music makes them energetic.The sound turns electric.The waves do magic and make you shake that something of yours all night.People forget all the mess they are into.It's a totally different world for them.All of them high with happiness and just two words in their minds.Rock on!
Music is definitely the best invention of all times.It helps when you are down.It rocks when you are happy.It comforts when you are heartbroken.It offers company when you are alone.It's soothing.It's healing.It's wonderful.It's magic.It's our lifeline.

That lady's house
It feels great to finally retire from your job.At first, the change seems to be overwhelmingly boring with nothing to do all day.But you get used to it.And then you start loving it because now you find time for yourself.You find time for your loved ones.You find time to see the lovely birds flying in that gorgeous blue sky.You find time to sit the sparkling green grass of your backyard.You finally get to live life.
I am really old now and so is my husband.The love of my life.I remember that magical time when we were young and fell in love.I thought that's all that love has in store.But in the last 40 years, i came to no that there is so much more to it.Its ever growing.There is no end to it.I love him.We have decided to sell this house and move to a smaller one as our children don't live with us anymore.I am expecting a client today.Oh, there he is !
Hello Mr.Roger! How are you doing? Hope it wasn't difficult to find the place.
Come, I will show you the house !
This is the hall with the couch,chairs,the idiot box[smiles] and a little bar table.The little bar table which my husband loves.He used to sit there after work having a little something on the rocks.It made him really happy.And this is the piano which my son used to play everyday.He was really good at it.I felt proud whenever he did a little musical magic with his small fingers.[Stares at the piano for long]Oh I am so sorry.Got carried away there.
Lets move over to the kitchen.Isn't it lovely.Here is where i cooked for everyone and there is the table where we used to sit together and eat.There were laughs.There was happiness around.I loved to cook for my family.I still do.Its just that, they had to move.[lost again] Alright, lets move to bedrooms.Aren't they spacious ? And the two windows on either side just lightens up the room like anything.This was my daughter's. She never let anyone in.She created her own little world inside.Look at all the posters and banners and drawing and what not.She also used to have lots and lots of flowers.Don't you worry, I will take care of all this before you move Mr.Roger![uses humour to cover nostalgia!Fails.]
And you see these marks on the door frame, here i used to make my kids stand everyday in the morning to see how tall they have grown.Now you will probably paint over them.[Tears]And there is the backyard with the lawn and a little garden which my husband maintains.My children took their first footsteps here.It was there wonderland.[very emotional now]
You know what, I am really sorry.I cannot. I cannot sell you this house.It is everything to me.It has all those memories.I need those memories.I cannot live without them.Sorry.I just cannot.[tears]

Neal N Nikki
Nikki, I don't get it.How can a guy spend all his life with a girl ? Hey !
why are you giggling ? Oh come on for god sake...I did not mean he should
go for a dude just beacause its legal now! I meant how can he handle the
constant blabering which yields nothing but compressive stress and that
too all his life ?
Shut up Neal ! You Dumbass :X Apparently you are not familiar with a crazy
thing called love.Its something out of the world.Marriages are made in
heaven.Its when two souls combine.Promise to love each other till
eternity.Its so romantic.Aahhhh.When am I going to meet my Mr.Perfect?
OMG, i am so ready for it !
You know what you need.A reality check.Life is not a romantic flick with a
hot chick.Get real princess.And the reality is that girls are super
annoying.They invented the word 'Nag'.They are never satisfied with their
guy.There is nothing like love.Rich guys get pretty girls.Thats whats
real.You get me ?
Where on earth you get all this shit from? I know you Neal ! You have
never been in a relationship.You never had a girlfriend.You never had a
friend who is girl except for me for crying out loud.You have been always
scared of girls.You assumed things.Alot of things to be precise and not a
thing which is right about girls.Have you not read "Pink" by "genie" ?And
no Neal, we are not annoying.We are normal human beings and prefer to do
things in a normal way.And thats what bothers guys who just want to chill
all the time.I wonder if the word human would become huwoman.We just like
everything organized and perfect.Thats nagging to them.And love is not physical attraction dude.You are so off the lane.It dosent matter how we look like.Its our actions that define us.Neal, when someday you will love a person more than yourself, when someday you will feel
complete with her, then she will be the beauty for you.You will never see
anything more beautiful than her.Believe you me.Its so damn true.
Hey, don't try to Emo-trap me girl.I am not so easy.
I get that you rat ! Just let the day come.You will understand this
someday or the other.And then you will come to me with your cute little
love story.And I will be all oh I don't have time for this shit.Don't Emo
-trap me Neal ! [devilish smile]
In your dreams ! Never gonna happen girl.But if I ever change my mind
about getting married, I will prolly marry you then.How is that ?
Ok Neal ! [Fake smile or maybe real]
What?[suprised and scared] I was just kiddin Nikki.You and me...Never.You
are so....
so what?
so[ blushes] ..... I don't want to say .
I can wait.[Smiles.For sure this time.Holds his hand in hers.]
Perhaps Love is Friendship!
Perhaps! Perhaps! Perhaps!
