Water and the universe

 "You are so sad." I just heard this and moved away from the waterfall. Who is there? Who is talking to me? There was no answer. I was scared, I thought it was ghost. I am misani. I am a seventeen year old girl living in a small house outskirts of the country. Its been two months since I lost my mother because of cancer. My father died in an accident after some months of my birth. Due to this mom got depressed and started consuming alcohol very much. There's no one in this woods except me now. Everything is here but not my parents. Sometimes I hallucinate them and I can't get over their deaths. One day I was sitting under the waterfall hoping its pressure would crush me and I heard a voice. I got scared but it was quiet when I moved from there. Then again I sat there and it said "don't worry, I am water. I can feel you are very sad." How is this possible? How can you talk to me? "Its just a gift of nature." Have you talked to anyone else? "Yes very rarely but not in this era. I can talk to anyone who is unique and great." How am I great? I couldn't even stop my mom from getting sick. "It was meant to happen, no one could stop that. I know what you are thinking. Its okay to grieve but not your whole life. You have the potential to do great things." How could you know about me or anyone? "I am almost everywhere on this earth and I have all the memories of this earth." If you are this special then can you return my parents? "I am not the one who took them so no I can't. You have to fight and you are not alone. Your life, spirit and nature is with you." What am I supposed to do? I don't know anything. Don't have any goal. "This universe has a strange way to lead the way, but one day it will and you will hear its whispers." I am hungry now. I am going to eat something. 

I went in the woods in search of food. Suddenly one branch of tree fell and it was too late for me. I closed my eyes and after one second I was thrown away. I screamed and ran towards my house. I shut the door and stayed inside. "Its alright, you are safe now." It was voice of water. You can talk to me like this too? And did you saved from that branch? How did you? "I am sorry my child, I lied to you. I am....your father." I burst into tears. Why did you lied? Why did you leave us so early? I didn't even saw you in real. "I am sorry for everything my sweetheart. Forgive me." But how are you here? It's been so long you have gone. Why didn't you came earlier? "I am from the past, before I died." What do you mean? "Now I am astral projecting and after sometime I will return to my body where I am alive." But how can you do it? I thought it's only a myth. And if you know about your death then why don't you stop it and live? "Yes at first i thought it was a myth too but i tried very hard and now here i am. No dear my death is meant to happen, if I stop that then there will be consequences we cannot handle. If you try then you can do it too." I thought soul can go anywhere but not any time. "We never know until we try. Now it's time for me to go." You are leaving me again? "You will do great things, I am glad I met you. I will be watching over you always. Goodbye my dear."

Hoping for a change

Coping with suicidal thoughts 

significance only in books and speech

every juncture is a battle to be fought 

and paid media becomes more leech

Lack of money is a hindrance 

giving us food to survive 

their hardwork is only dependence 

without them we can't thrive 

Giving the respect they deserve 

without wasting the food 

people just want money to conserve 

they vanish and we are screwed 

Don't need political agenda 

don't be just wannabe cool

in the end, only left with vendetta 

and making ourselves a bigger fool

Haunting or imagination? A true incident

 "Hey listen, we shouldn't stay here after dark" Naman said. Yes I agree with you buddy. There's no one else here besides the two of us. If any spirit comes then we can't even get help in time, I said in a funny tone. "Ya right man" he said. We were not very serious about this though. And where is Saathvik? Why didn't he came today? I asked. "He is going to market but no worries, he will come tomorrow." he said. I am Mehvish and we three are best friends. Both of their families were staying in one building so he knew about Saathvik. Now we are on the roof of an incomplete one storey building in the middle of a field. We three come here every afternoon to chit chat but never stayed here after dark. Its roof was broken so we could see the rooms and windows beneath us and there were plants also as this was an old structure. After sometime it was nearly dark and don't know what got into me but I said to stay here. He asked why? I said just this once okay, just 5 or 10 minutes after sunset and we will go. He said alright and we stayed. There were no lights but very less were coming from the streets. "Did you hear something?" He asked. There are plants man and some insects must be there so relax. He saw one window and called me. "What's that near the window?" Wait let me see with the mobile torch. Don't know but it seems kind of a person. We got scared. "Let's get out of here, run run" he said in a hurry. I clicked one picture and ran from there. When we reached the street then we saw the picture but there was nothing really. Just a very dark room's window. Maybe we imagined. "I am sure I saw something, it was not clear but still" he said in bit confusion tone. Ya I thought so too but I don't know, let's get there tomorrow all three of us. "Okay bye be careful on your way home" he said in a caring tone.

We three went there next afternoon. Saathvik was denying both of us and said that it was our imagination. We went in that room and also every room and then went to the roof but there was nothing. Saathvik said that its daytime now there won't be any problem so let's try ouija board once, if something is really here then it will contact us. We agreed because it was not dark. There were many bricks on the roof so we used them to make a ouija board on the roof and used a cap of a bottle to move. We placed our fingers over the cap. "If anyone is here then please give us a sign" Saathvik said. There was no movement of the cap. He repeated many times but there was nothing. "Leave it, this process needs too much concentration so we can't do it like this" Saathvik said. No one came so we didn't bother to say goodbye. They both said to stay here after dark and we stayed and  started to gossip over some other topics. Finally it was dark but nothing supernatural was there but still, we got scared. I felt something was wrong and we ran outside the building. "You both go there and see if anyone is there and if something happens then run quickly" Saathvik said. Why we should go? You have to come with us too or else we are not going. "Ya right he is scared so he is thinking of his safety" naman said. "No you fools, I will stay outside because if something happens to you then i can call for help so go and stay for two minutes and come back" he said. We started walking with fear. Naman asked to play some prayer in mobile that will help. I played and we went near the entrance. But still we didn't have the courage to enter. But he was shouting from behind to go inside. I said if you are not coming then shut up. Then we entered and he played some songs so that we get distracted. We stayed for one minute and that song was no help. We both got scared and ran outside. "What happened did you see anything? He asked us. No but it's scary inside. "Yes if we are going then you come with us for once, let's go one more time" naman said. He agreed and we went inside playing songs and prayers. We all entered and both naman and I went ahead but Saathvik ran outside. We thought he saw something so we also ran. "Its scary, guys let's go home" Saathvik said. "That's what we were saying you idiot" naman said. They told me to be careful on the way. And then we went home.


I reached home and everything was normal as usual. There was no fear inside me as soon as we ran outside that building. That night after dinner I went to bed. I like to play songs while sleeping. After one hour my parents and everyone in my neighbor's were asleep. There was silent and no light. Suddenly I felt that someone is watching me. I got a little scared and turn on light. There was nothing so I turn it off. After passing seconds I felt more strongly that there is someone. That fear would not let me sleep. My heart was beating faster. I was trying to get distracted by thinking something else but it didn't help. This continued for hours and I think after 3 am I was asleep. Again next day we went there. I didn't say anything about my experience of that night to any of them and they didn't said anything too. Again we tried to enter the building after sunset but our fear got the better of us. Again I couldn't sleep that whole night. After sunrise when sunlight would pass through my window then I would feel safe and go to sleep. We repeatedly went there for ten days and I couldn't sleep at night. After that we didn't met for days and didn't went there and surprisingly I slept well those nights. When we met after some days then Saathvik said "let's not go there today". And then I finally told them about my night experience then they both said those nights were scary for them too. "guys, I noticed that when we went there only those nights were scary for me not the other nights when we didn't go" naman said. Yes you are right I felt it too. "Hey do you remember that we didn't said goodbye after finishing the ouija board? Maybe something really came that day and we didn't know so that's why we couldn't sleep at night" Saathvik said. Then let's stop going there it's not worth it. We agreed and didn't set foot near that that building for years. I still don't know what felt those nights. I don't know if its real or imagination. 

Not just a mother after sunday- chapter 1(a story)

 "She is so beautiful", Heena said as tears rolled out of her eyes. She was seeing our new born girl few minutes after giving birth. I was sitting beside her with happiness beyond words and also in some corner of my heart there was a little fear. I am Nayanth and Heena is my better half. After some time I forgot about the fear. How could I be bother by that when both of them were in front of me alive and healthy? Then we finally decided to name her Hiyanshi. That day went extremely well and after finishing every work we went to sleep. Again that thought entered my head while sleeping. This is a world where after giving birth, mothers would be granted with some strange abilities by some unknown deity or whatever, I don't know. Some centuries ago, it started. Some people say that it's a blessing for humanity, but I believe that it's a curse. Like the demon is playing with us out of his boredom. I have heard and seen many cases where moms were granted terrifying abilities. Harmful for themselves and their families. After seven days of birth of baby those abilities could be felt or simply, can be used. I heard one case where one mom was exhaling only poisonous gases so for everyone's safety she killed herself and the gases stopped immediately or else everyone in her surrounding would be dead after few moments. I can't imagine the pain she must have gone through to kill herself. I guess she had a kind heart.When the world grows more power there are always peoples who exploit or tries to take control over one another. One life becomes threat to another in direct or indirect way. Some peoples are there who are longing for this powers to paint the earth with flames. I really don't want Heena to develop such cursed abilities. I feel powerless as I can't do anything to change the fact that after seven days she won't be just a mom who would love her baby but also she has to adjust with her abilities. She is not excited for this, she just want to take care of her baby. Next day she did her work like usual but she was very calm. Like she was thinking about all this but wouldn't let me worry about it. In night these endless thoughts would have me awake as if the devil himself is staring at me. Sometimes she would wake up from nightmares and I did everything I can to support her but it was tough seeing her like this. And then it was Saturday, the day before the fateful day. When I woke up in the morning, she was already awake and seeing baby's face and thinking something. Her eyes were filled with love's sorrow. It was painful to see her like this but I had to help her. With a kiss on the forehead her emotions were leaning towards light. Like me, she was also worried but she wasn't weak. We had to go through this time together and we did. She wasn't talking much that day but her eyes were speaking a lot. She was determined to stay by her family whether the situation permits or not. With this it was Sunday morning...

A bond without boundaries

 Emancipation at its peak 

 contemplated as a blessing 

 not more or less than a mystique 

 and where emotions are dwelling 

 This bond can't be sunder

 wearing a pendant of ecstasy 

 with a sensation of somber

 and hatred having sinking tendency 

 Not a glimpse for years 

 without prate for aeon

 alongside reminiscence to cheer

 heart flying like an airplane with aileron 

 Succour, in times of unlit

 perceiving gravity of the situation 

 having so much conflicts

 knock sense about reality and illusion

 

A bleeding heart

  Softness lies here

 inside this cruel world

 her tenderness is crystal clear 

 and her benevolence can't be hurled 

 Beginning of a new life

 of her own desire 

 her gentleness to be rife 

 and penalize her exploiter 

 Slaying, in fear of retribution 

 displaying lack of righteousness 

 heading towards damnation

 and destroying her oneness 

 Her life becomes living hell

 with this wretched society 

 'not giving up' is an angel

 and her strong heart is her deity
