Few Good People..

The past few days have been really tough on some of my close ones. One of them fell ill, unexpectedly. Seeing him in the hospital, was the last thing I ever imagined for him. Not just coz he has always been super fit and athletic, definitely not coz he would prefer healthy organic options over the junk I would stuff myself with! Oh no! The fact that he is one of the few good people who welcomed us into his big house and bigger heart, should ensure that he is as far away from that pungent hospital smell.

You see, I may be a beacon to weirdos. But I have also attracted few good people into my life. And I would do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Nothing infuriates me more than bad things happening to good people. I mean come on, there a gazillion people who, if I might add, deserve to get the crap beaten out of them. It pains me to see the nature turning its back on such pieces of shit and coming after the few good people left on God's green earth!


It's not fair! But life isn't fair either. I can complain all I want, but it ain't solving nothing. It's not getting him healthier any faster. I feel helpless. What is it about good people that paints a target on their backs..always! Be it office where these people are the first to get screwed over or just plain life, where they receive the hardest of blows! I am angry, I am tearing out and driving maniacally. I'ma get one of these ass-clowns under my tyres - come on punks, line up!

I reach the hospital. Brave mode on. I mean, I am not gonna be a twerp adding to someones misery now, am I? I don't know what to expect. But what I see leaves me speechless. The man is plonked on the bed, looking fresh and dandy. Not like he's been in the hospital for the past 2 days or something, unless of course he has! Ok, what was I missing here? Did he undergo a cosmetic surgery? Why was he beaming? Goodness needs no facials or body wraps after all!

Minutes into the conversation and I finally know why every nurse greeted me with a smile when I asked for his room! Sir had gifted bouquets to nurses! Why? Coz they had done their job well! I looked at him in disbelief! That was just plain goodness beaming from inside a hospital gown. All I could do was smile and thank heavens for showering blessings and pulling him right back to where he belongs - into our lives!

Its such incidents in life that reaffirm my faith; make me feel little for bickering about the 1 thing that may not work in my favor when pretty much my whole life is under my control; get me feeling blessed for having such people in my life who stare fate in its eyes and snatch back what rightly belongs to them. Be blessed, always. Coz you sure as hell are blessing to all of us.

Game over 2014

2014. I had welcomed you with open arms and warm words. You may not remember, it was 12 months back, in a different continent and a different frame of mind. Let me refresh our memory:

2014 - Give me travel, give me adventure,
For my thirst of change, be a quencher.
Give me chaos, give me peace,
Rattle me up a little before you bring me to ease.
Give me love, give me joy,
Just relax and watch me enjoy.
Give me all you have and that's all I'll need.
P.S: 2013, heartfelt THANK YOU



You did breathe life into my words. You took me to a packed All State Arena in Chicago and let me soak in the reality of WWE Monday night RAW. You also threw in "Road to Wrestlemania" live event as an icing on the cake.  You brought a smile on my face and tears in my eyes; a rush I had never felt since I jumped off that plane; realized a dream that I had nurtured for over a decade.

You threw me in a whirlpool of uncertainties and shook my belief system inside out. And then you gave me the most beautiful person ever who would sail with me in the storm. I began a new journey with the only man I ever loved. He is mine now and forever to keep.  You brought in new relations I was scared of facing, unraveled the mysteries of "being a family". 2014, I can't thank you enough for making me a part of a new family I absolutely love and cherish! 

2014 - you were the year of a sucky professional life as you staged my encounter with one horrendous boss after another. You bought in uncertainties and threw me into a whirlpool of doubts. You made me question everything I ever stood for; watched me panic and let out an evil laugh.You got me working with witches right out of a cheap horror movie. You got me more than acquainted to the darkness in me that I knew existed. You got me swearing till I feared my ears could take no more, you pushed me off the edge as I screamed in despair. 

You gathered a soft cushion of family and friends to break the fall. Just when I thought you had annihilated me, left me broken, you showered me with love and told me I mattered. You promised that bright days were right around the corner. You filled my heart with patience and hope. 2014 - you were the year of great personal life. You showed me being cool ran in the family! 

You started alright, got me on cloud 9, crash landed me on rocky lands, showed me the way to heaven and back, got me feeling blessed, rubbed my face over barren lands, picked me up and exclaimed loudly - this is life! 

2014 - I am glad you came, I am glad you are gone. Thanks for taking away all the fair-weathered friends with you and thanks for leaving all the good memories behind. 


P.S: 2015, walk right into my arms.
