A jigsaw puzzle

In the shadow of the trees on a no moon night
A walk into the past trying to understand things which were never understood
A smile, a hello, promises and sacrifices
A vow never to let go, a determined mind very keen on getting back what belonged to it
A confession made which sought nothing in return
A hurt and troubled heart giving rise to anger
Quarrels and misunderstandings being directly proportional to a wounded soul
A smile, a hello and everything’s stable again
Until another admitted what it felt
This brought back all those emotions which were once rejected
So ‘it’ disagreed-
Two different people who follow different principles in life
When they meet-
There’s a spark, a smile and as usual never ending clashes
Both going through exactly the same thing but failing to realize that it was vice versa
Both not ready to give-up,
Let’s say one started it, let the other end it
Now the million dollar question arises – who started it? 

 

Betrayal

Betrayed by the traitor of love,
Dreading that moment never as before,
Deciding what was to be done now,
With a friend-turned love-then foe. 
Blinded by love that was uncertain from a heart,
A strong bond was built that slowly gave way,
The bond of friendship, trust and love tore apart,
Leaving hatred, grief and sorrow along the way. . .


 

your take

A concept like Inspired Indian Foundation is much needed, if our country is to re-discover its former glory. I wish your team God speed in its endeavours.

I am glad that a new movement called Inspired Indian Foundation is launched to highlight the stories of unsung heroes. I am sure this movement will go a long way to brand the ordinary citizens of India. Venkatesh Prasad, former cricketer.


I wish Team Inspired Indian Foundation all success. Thanks to the dedication of this team, today my story in the form of A Different Spirit has come out. Malathi Holla, international wheel-chair athlete.


Great news. I am delighted to know that every Indian will now get an opportunity to write. It is very much needed. Let the Foundation become the mouthpiece of all unsung heroes in India. Wg Cdr Aman Kapur, DRDO, HQ, Delhi.

Thank you for introducing me to Inspired Indian Foundation. It is a wonderful effort to bring up issues and causes that plague our country at this time. Taking its roots in the backwaters of Kerala, the movement has come a long way and now it should spread to a pan-India level. All the best. Pulak Sen, Editor-in-Chief, Indian Aviation
