The restless dancer

She walked in. 

Threw her back pack on to the floor and plopped on to the chair. 

"Coming dad!" 

The night had been restless. 

Tucked away in a small apartment in Hauz Khas Village, she could be anything she wanted. 

Here at home, there were rules.

There were too many thoughts in her head. 

 Floating like bubbles. Itching to come out through her ears, her mouth.

Her Nose.

She could smell them finally.

Dreams.

The kinds that know no boundary. 

They just want to be let out. 

It could be in the bright light of the day

Or the dark of the night.

They whispered to the blue moon

And made her dance on the tip.

"Coming dad!"

Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

For a million mirrors to see

I have had this blog created and stored away for a day like today for about a year now. 

They say it happens when the time is right. 

And it is true indeed. 

I am finally here and it took all of one hour to put things in place.

I start with what I wrote on a friend's fb status for a question "what's on your mind"

Lenses

and Fences

Some universes that have been crossed

and Some that need no crossing

Tasks at hand

and Barriers within

Mountains and beaches

Fish and peaches

Storms and inks

and Thoughts of committing a sin

Observing and preserving

These moments that are unfurling

Moons and junes

and That everyday din
