Quite perfect!

Today, this moment is quite perfect!

And if you ask me to describe how I feel.
I would probably put it like this. I am driving the best car mankind has ever made. At front seat i have Don McLean singing for me. I have Eric Clapton at the back seat with guitar. I look out of window to feel the wind gushing through my face. The earthy scent after the rain is mesmerising me.  The pluviophile inside is loving the drizzle. Lush green mountains are spanning through horizon. Sun is hiding behind shapeless clouds. It's quite perfect!

The bags that weighed me down just fell on the road. This time i didn't pull over to pick them again.

Looks like I have hit the awaited highway!
The ride has a meaning only known to me and those who can decrypt my songs. There is peace in my heart

All that I am losing and finding in this ride. What an adventurous ride it has been uphill, downhill and uphill again. I would lie if I were to say I was not scared.
The people I pulled over for...some guided me. Some slowed me. Some speeded up the journey. Some just weighed me down. Some blessed me and showered with all the love I would need to reach the destination.
Each one of them was a lesson. Some I kept safe in my heart. Some I had to let go. Letting go was the second best thing I ever did. Whatever I did. I never let go of pilot seat. Only I have my maps.

I have just passed a storm. With every passing day, I know the worth of this drive a little more. I am thankful to the fellow riders a little more. The world seems better.


My eyes sparkle and twinkle a little more as how the road unfolds. I am here for the journey. I know the destination.

My experiment with Rs5.                                            By Prerna Mishra                        (written in college 5th sem, 2013) In last 31 years, they have only asked for your 2 minutes, now as an added topping with just Rs5 in your pocket.  In the interiors of Jharkhand, a true Indian village lacking in almost everything, where survival is with bare minimum resources, Life goes on because it has to. A few government schools established under “Sarva Siksha Abhiyan” shabby building, teacher sits outside the classroom with hand-fan. I saw Students having their cherished meal. A big bus carrying thousands of packets, parked outside the school. Yes it was Maggi; these children were having and of course free of cost. Mid-day meals have perhaps become very boring for these children! They too...

Beautiful is not always stable… Beautiful and as I say this word, something must strike your mind. Be it nature, love, family and friends. what makes these things beautiful are that they are forever. Beauty as I thought is pleasing, soothing, mesmerizing and of course stable.  As I try and delve this feeling of beautiful. I find myself hanging in the sky. All things I thought to be beautiful have changed. I remember how badly I wanted some things in my life to stay just the same forever, but it changed. Everything changed. All the time I connected these two words beauty and stability, I thought this is it! ooh such a naive I was! Stability is a lie. Nothing is stable. I am changing, the syllabus in my school is changing, relationship status is changing, and even the mountains are shifting. Perhaps no body is at rest. Confused, I realized only change is constant.  This acceptance was hard!  For a girl, who has changed her school every 5 years, ma...

Girl, Go & Grow

Girl, Go & Grow She chose the burning road, the different air, the puzzle that no one dares! I hear the reason they throw at you- “girls can’t”, “get back home”, “time up”. I know the reason you tell yourself. I don’t feel your pain but your passion roars telling its story. She crawls, walks, runs, falls, but refuses to stop. She embraces the pain. That girl goes and grows through pain. Friends, she doesn’t have them. she knew it would be a deserted path. Ordinary girl, no extraordinary skill set, but dreams. She runs forward, detaching herself from this breed. Breaking the chains, she reaches out to new horizon. Through that sceptic glasses, the world would never see the real her. Of all the persons, I met on earth. She is the craziest of the bunch. She is restless and persistent She is weak and strong She is frightened and is fighting. I watch her on battle field, to find whose reason will win, to know how long hope kept her heart beating, to feel he...
