Every day I wake up hoping to see you today.
I come out with the belief that I can see you in the eyes,

Meet you and talk to you.

I muster courage, bring myself together to see and admire the beauty god has created,

But every time I see you my heart races, skips a beat.
My eyes wander away.

I no longer control my body.

I feel weightless.

My legs feel weak, I lose control over my senses.

My life appears to go on in slow motion when you are around.

Finally when you walk away I feel bad that today I have failed to see your beautiful face.

I have failed to talk to you.

I wake up with the belief that I would be able to see you again the next day!

I don’t know whether you will ever be a part of my life or whether I would be courageous enough to talk my mind out to you, but I am happy with what I have for today.

And you surely mean something more in my life.

The Most Beautiful Person in the world

You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life. I have never seen such a great person than you and neither can there be a great person other than you for me in this life.

You brought me into this world and stood by me, introduced me, gave me a life, gave me a name, a recognition and you lead me through the way in life by holding my hand until I could walk all by myself in the path  of my destiny. I failed, gave up on many things, but you have never given up on me. Even today, when I have nothing, you still believe in me, you say that there’s more to see and more to conquer in life. I may have given up on myself, lost hopes, stopped believing in me but you haven’t done anything like that, you are still there, holding your hand at the back for me to walk with me.

You are the person who started loving me long before you saw my face. You took care of me with all your life when I was the most vulnerable, I didn’t even know what I was and who I am, but you still didn’t question God. You just loved me unconditionally even when I let you down many times. You gave me the life that I have today, you have guarded me with your life from the day you knew I was going to come to this world and from that day forth you took great pain to lay down a perfect path for me from the day I was born to this day. You are the most beautiful person in the world indeed mother and whether I say it or not, god knows what the truth is and I am glad he has given me the greatest boon of my life i.e. a mother like you, in my life.

Mother
Mother

I don’t know what I am for you, maybe just a child or a whole new world, but what you are for me, cannot be put in those two small terms. So I guessed I want to put it in a series to see what you are to me and to many of those whose mother really is for them in their life.

  • You were the person, who protected me with your life and the cost you paid for me, is your life. It is said that “when a woman gives birth to a child she receives that much pain which is enough to kill a normal human being.”
  • You became my guardian.
  • When I was born, I was a hollow person knowing nothing, not even the reason why I cried for hours together in the night, but you just held me up close to you, being awake to put me back to sleep.
  • You became my night owl to watch over me.
  • When I couldn’t sleep you sang songs, lullabies, you rocked me to sleep.
  • You became my singing cradle.
  • You burnt your hands to check if the milk was too hot for me to drink.
  • You became my “Food Tester”.
  • When I was injured, you became my medicine.
  • When I failed, you became my encouragement.
  • When I lost hope, you became my believer.
  • When I made a mistake, you became my guide.
  • When I was lost you, became my lighthouse.
  • When I was angry, sorrow or happy you became my bank where I deposited all my emotions.
  • When I fell sick you were the patient.
  • You cry if I am sad.
  • You do the work which I am meant to do even though you are tired.
  • You feel contented when I eat food
  • When I win, you feel as if you have won it and you are on top of this world
  • And the most important of all, when I needed you the most you were always there for me, no matter what or when, but you always were there for me. Here you became my 24X7 emergency services.

But what did you get in return for all of this?

Because I am not and cannot even be half of the things which I wrote you became for me. “Why do you do it?”

You don’t even get paid for it or get benefitted from it. Then why do you do it? Why do you believe in me when the whole world doesn’t? to that, you simply say, “ I haven’t raised you for nothing, you weren’t born for anything. You have your own purpose to fulfill and mine is to make you pursue your purpose” and when I ask you about how much do you get paid? She simply says “nothing” and yet she does her job. That is the beauty of her because being paid nothing yet she gives the most valuable service any person could even despite the best pay in the world.

I don’t know f I can ever beat you at your job mom, but I do know one thing for sure. You have sacrificed many of your dreams, to just see me materialize and realize my dream. You lost and yet you are happy because I am living my dreams. Today is a day where I like to look back a few years, when you stood by me against all odds believing in me that I would make up to this day and just as you said I made it up this day and I promise you that whatever may be the circumstances I will live my dreams and make your dreams come true because you have given me a life which I am not worthy, but you made me believe that I am a lot more than what I think about myself. You showed me the goal of my life and I assure you that I will achieve it not because it’s my dream but because you believed in me and I couldn’t have made it if not for you.

The greatest person is that person who works 24X7 for the welfare of others and is paid nothing in return and that person is MOM” 

I was never around when you wanted me. I was busy prioritizing things, but you were always with me in my thick and thin. You are the only person on this whole planet who know me in and out. And today I promise the most beautiful person on earth that I realized my true purpose of my life and that is to make you feel proud of the cost you have paid to see a dream which I never believed in and also to always be by your side no matter what.

In my Dreams……………!

This is something which goes way back into the past making me nostalgic about the times I had wild discussions with my friends and enjoyed sleeping under the star-studded sky. This is that moment when I had a friend who never lived in the present and was always dreaming. It bothered me so much that I wanted to try and live in his shoes, knowing how he never saw anything that went around in front of his eyes.

He often landed himself in troubles because of his dreams. It went to such an extent that one day the director of our college visited our class, while the rest of the class stood to greet him, this guy was off in his dream world, sitting and staring outside the window which was beside him. He got punished for being absent minded and even then he didn’t mend his ways. Intrigued, I asked him what he dreamt about. After so much of coaxing, he let me in on it and started narrating why he became such an idiotic dreamer. After many years, today, I want to share the dream he shared with me.

In his narration, this is how it goes:

I am a sound sleeper by habit. If I sleep I won’t even know what’s going on around me. And by telling you how I sleep, I also want to put in that I usually don’t dream but whenever I do, all I dream about is falling down or seeing somebody die.

One day a dream changed me. It was the most wonderful dream I ever had. I saw a girl in my dream and after that dream I never wanted to stop dreaming about Her.

I never had a peaceful childhood. My parents always used to quarrel and fight and whenever there was a fight I used to either run away somewhere for some time until things settle down or go to my room lock myself up and cry till I sleep. I am not complaining or saying that I have problems because most of us have our own score of sorrows, mine was a bit tough because it involved me and seeing my parents fight I don’t know why, but I always craved for love and a life partner, from my childhood.

It indeed sounds foolish and stupid but it went on in my mind to such an extent that when I was studying my 7th class, putting up some courage I went up to my father and told him that I wished to get married and that too now, in that very moment…… my father had a good laugh and said “Look, son, there is still a lot of time for you to get married. Child marriage is illegal and nobody will give their girl to you at this age because you are a small kid. You cannot handle such a big responsibility. So have patience, you will be married at the right time.”

After this encounter, my mother, sisters and everyone near and dear to me got to know what I asked my father and they had a jolly good time making fun of me. But having gone through all that I still didn’t get over that feeling of falling in love and getting married to the girl I loved maybe because seeing my parents quarrel deep in my heart an idea to marry the girl whom I love got embedded. .

And this feeling slowly started growing into an insatiable desire to find a loved one.

Then I saw her, for the first time in my life, in my dream. That’s the day I never wanted to wake up from her dreams. She is not a beauty nor is she a princess, but she definitely became the world for me.In my dream, I saw her for the first time in my College. It was my first day and I was rushing to catch up with my class when she was coming down in the opposite direction, I couldn’t help but stop and look back at her and admire her. That moment, it was the first time in my life that my heart skipped a beat! That moment I could not think of anything but wishing to see her again and wishing she would turn back once again before she goes. At that moment, I just thought how amazing it would be to have her as a classmate rather than a senior.

She left my eye view and I started to rush to my class coming out of her trance. I entered the class and took my place,

I was in a trance again when I saw her. I crossed my fingers and was praying to god to make her be my classmate.I think God heard my prayers, she came inside the classroom and sat down in the next bench to me.

I don’t remember exactly how it felt like in the dream because I hardly concentrated on my class. The feeling was electric. Exactly in 10 minutes, when I was about to see her face, the alarm in my phone brought me back to life.

I cursed myself and tried to get back to sleep to continue the dream. But I couldn’t resume my sleep or finish that dream. I was in the dream whole day, thinking about the dream and was feeling very bad that I couldn’t see her properly.

I know that a dream is not a real one but, I do not know why I was eager and anxious to resume the same dream where I have stopped just for once, so that I can see her at least once.

In the night before sleeping, I prayed to God so that he grants me my wish. I don’t remember even remember being so desperate about something like this in my life. I slept well that day but bad luck was looming around me, I didn’t dream about her again. I tried to get back for a few days like this and one fine day when I was about to lose hope I finally dreamt about her again.

I saw her right there in my class wearing a red and black combination traditional salwar kameez which made her look even rosier than her actual self. She was about 5 feet; she is of the height of my chest. She had a perfectly figured body, not extremely thin or extremely fat but a fabulous one which would fit in and go with any type of wardrobe! She had slender legs which will make any sane person like me go mad after her. She has long silky hair, which fall in front of her face from the side in such a way that it covers her face making her more beautiful and making it a bit difficult to the person to have a proper look at that beautiful face. At that very moment she slowly and momentarily taking the few strands which were blocking my view, while reading the book she had in her hand curled them back at her ear. The act was small but ecstatic.

I don’t know how this mechanism works, but you feel some sort of feeling in your mind when someone is watching you. Maybe that’s what has happened to her, she lifted her head from the book she was reading and was looking straight at me through her glasses. Now I was really caught!!

I had no other option but to smile sheepishly that I was caught staring at her! She returned my smile and was back to her work. I was still observing her, watching her every move and registering her every act and feature because I thought, maybe, I won’t get another chance to look at her and I wanted to relish all her greatness before I wake up from my dream. Her eyes were like small leaves fitting perfectly in her small but pretty face which made her look attractive. I couldn’t stop myself from staring at her and looking at her eyes. They were crystal clear just like two small black round balls in small leaf-like sockets. Her nose always formed a small curve when she laughed. Small dimples formed on her cute cheeks when she smiled. Her lips were small luscious ones which looked like small petals of roses which are light pinkish in colour hiding her gorgeously beautiful white teeth. She looked mesmerizingly cute when she put up a pout because of disappointment or when in need of something. In short, she looked like a goddess to me and I was in disbelief.

I only saw how her lips curled up when she read a piece of article that was blemishing, I only saw how her eyes sparkle when she loved what she read. I saw exactly how her gestures spoke to me and knew in that very same moment, that I can never find another person who could complement her gestures or can make me fall in love with anything more subtly expressive than her.

I saw my mother’s eyes sparkle when I achieved something and made her proud, I saw the same sparkle in her eyes when she caught me admiring her. I saw her blushing and couldn’t help but smile knowing that I was the cause for her blush. I forgot to be myself when she blushed under my stare.

I wonder whether it really is a dream or am I really seeing such a beautiful girl. Our class got finished and we were about to leave when she called me by my name. I turned back and lo! She was not there! She vanished into thin air. Now I was shocked. I was about to panic when I heard my mom calling me to get up and get ready as I was already late for my class.

From then on, I never wanted to come out of my dream. I missed her name and her face, but I still remember how it felt when I saw her.

When I saw her I was not able to see anything beyond her, everything was blank and unclear but the only thing which was clearly visible to me was her face which was smiling at me lovingly, probably indicating to me that we are going to meet very soon for sure. I really wished all of it to be real, but I had to accept the stark reality that it is a dream and cannot be a reality.

In my dreams

Once I heard my mother tell my sister that dreams that come in the morning come true! From that day on till this day I am anxiously waiting to meet the girl I dreamt about.

“If there ever will be one wish that I could make, I would wish for that one dream to happen, or better yet I would wish to live in that dream over and over again. For as long as all my hair would turn grey, as long as my skin ages and for as long as I carry medicines to keep me going. Because I knew, the day I saw her in my dreams, was the day I stopped living the reality and I know right now, that my reality exists somewhere beyond all this, somewhere where she resides.”

He thus ended his story about how he saw the girl, whom he thought is going to be his life, for as long as he’d remember. I don’t know where he is today and if he found the girl of his dreams but I do hope with all my heart that he finds the girl of his dreams. And not just because he would be happy, but for once,

I know that she sure would be the luckiest girl ever, to be loved endlessly by someone with all his heart, forever.
