Amma and her peacock blue sari (Beast called father contd 2)

"Did you do the maths assignment?" Biplob asked Prakash who was sitting beside him in the school bus, chewing on a packet of salted peanuts. 
"Yes i did 8 of them, Appa did the rest." he laughed.
"Ohh.." 
Biplob looked out of the window as the bus stopped at a traffic signal. A Maruti Esteem stopped near the bus.
 Biplob looked with disbelief his face stuck to the window, he couldn't believe his eyes. It was their car.
 He saw his father in the back seat of their black Maruti Esteem with a woman. She looked pretty, her face was glowing, she was thinner than amma. His father's had one hand on her shoulder. He looked different with her than he looked at home Biplob thought..

He got home that day after school to find amma wearing her favourite peacock blue sari and silver bangles, combing her waist long hair. He wanted to tell her about what he saw on his way to school today.
"Amma where are you going?"
"Baba is taking us out for dinner today.." Amma said beaming.
"I don't want to go anywhere" 
"Babai why do you want make your Baba angry? You know how he is, now go... go get ready. 
I've ironed your clothes."
"But amma i want to tell you something"
"I will listen to everything you have to say, only after you get ready."

 Biplob got ready it was 6 pm, he went and sat near amma who settled his collar and combed his hair.

8.30 PM

 There was still no sign of Baba, amma was eagerly waiting for him to come and peeped from the window whenever she heard a car passing.

 9.20 PM

 "Why don't you call Baba? How long will we wait.." Biplob said disgusted.
"Lets wait for some more time"
"No call him now, i cant wait anymore.."

9.40 PM
"Hello, we are waiting for you.
But.. Biplob is sitting near the door.
 Hmm.. hmmm.."  Amma said on the phone.
"He wont come, isnt it?"
"He said he has an important meeting"
"I know what meeting he has." Biplob said angrily

Just As long as we are together

This is a poem i had written when i was in the 6th standard and our group nearly broke.....I admit This poem has lots of flaws and abstractions but for me this poem really means a lot..... I remember the time we were standing with our faces to the sun.. Picturing our times to come Many a clouds have passed by since we stood under the same sky Talking in the summer sights.. Howling at the city lights I still remember the time that passed.. Pulling pranks just for fun Summer vacations were such a blast the kind of memories that will always last.. Growing up in future seemed such a thing We thought we knew what it would bring.. The stars seemed so clear from our domain.. I sure could handle some of those good times again.. Even if our dreams still seem far away.. Our friendship is always here to stay.. Until we are all gone.. The roads between us will never be too long...... I have been putting this off for quite sometime now, thinking I’d write this post “later” but I figured there is no

Aaj fir ek cigarette...

Here's a poem written by my friend who is trying to quit smoking and below it is my reply poem to him ... Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hun,, uski nazar me ye ek gunaah hai, mai to uske waade bhula raha hu,, Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.. samajhna mat isko meri aadat,main to bus dhuaan ura raha hu, ye uski yaado ka silsila hai, mai uski yaaden jala raha hu.. mai peekar itna behek chuka hu ki gham ke kisse suna raha hu.. agar tumhein bhi ghm hai to aao,main pee raha hu aur pila raha hu... ek cigarette ki shama k bahane main apne aap ko jala raha hu.. Aaj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.....                                                                                     ~ Akash  Gam ko aasuyo se na piya toh kya piya.. gam ko zindagi mei na badal diya toh kya jiya..  Gam ko dhuye mei urane ki addat nahi humko, hum toh isi dard k nashe,ki addat mei jiye huye hai..!

Monday blues..!

Today while coming out of my Biology tuition I slipped but then I somehow regained my balance.!! Yes I slipped again..!!A year back on my 16th birthday I slipped and fractured my ankle!!Actually it's my fault only there are two staircases in my biology tuition both leading to the exit, one is the normal kinda stairs which we generally have and the other one is a spiral staircase which opens outwards (yes you can even see the sky from it's broken corners!) but it doesnot even have a railing in some places and it's extremely narrow(exactly the size of my foot!!yes I did measure it!!) and steep!! So as you may have guessed by now I regularly use the spiral staircase!!Girls in my tuition can't even think of using that staircase and I don't know why even guys don't use it!!(maybe they are scared!!).. I really don't understand why I love those 'danger stairs' (yes my friends call it that) so much but I actually do..I remember once when I was about four or
