TWIN THOUGHTS



In memory of those who lost their loved ones in the twin blasts that ripped Hyderabad last week.
Many who lost their lives in the blast are said to be aged less than forty. Breadwinners most certainly for their family..... perhaps, young men and women too, aspiring hopes for a better future....one of the many stories remaining unknown and untold in such terror attacks, reducing to a sad memory for the grieving family while rest of Life moves on........




A STORY...UNKNOWN AND UNTOLD....

Welcoming the defining moment 
He held the key to unlock the dreams
Harnessed by him, his parents
He toiled sans worry of the clock
“Destined to succeed”!!
Catalyzed their dreams into an aspiration
Winged to fly now with the letter in his hand
He trembled, cherishing this moment
 “Celebration”! Friends cheered
The proud parents could say no more
Tears spoke volumes of their joy
He stepped out, for the first time
For a small merry making
Nothing but a few tidbits at a nearby hotel
A few steps…. BANG!!! and……………………….
………………………………………………………………….
Life moves on...........

***********************************************************************

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY


Beads of perspiration heave a relief
Frantic calls to loved ones got answered
Thankfully
Spared from becoming bits and pieces of flesh
In a gory tale of a terror onslaught
‘Safe’! resounds
Resting my pulses
I ponder at my blessings, thanking them
Validated by my good deeds, perhaps
Promising a sound sleep, for now
Tomorrow is another day.
