C/o: Soul

You are not me,

But almost like me.


You are not me,

But so much within me.



You are not me,

But always a part of me.


You are not me,

But always so close to me.


Here I pay Tribute to that You whom

I’m relentlessly trying to explore, understand, discover.

[My unsuccessful attempt to write a testimonial for my soul]

Unuttered Words!

Few words that would have made me a better human being, if only I would have uttered them at the right place and right time:

Thank You: I have heard people say it often. But couldn’t figure out the need to use it in my life. I have tried to say it many times but never found a situation suitable enough or a help great enough.

You are Welcome: Quite a mouthful. I was asked by many people to utter this sentence every time anyone expresses his gratitude to me. But whenever anyone says ‘Thank you’ to me, I feel so proud that I start regarding myself as the greatest person in the world. And before I get back to my senses it is too late to utter the words.

Good Morning: I always stay away from wishing people in the morning by convincing myself that “What’s so good about this morning?” This is happening from my school days when I used to be the most reluctant person to stand up when the teacher entered the class. I usually kept mum as everybody in the class shouted “GOOD MORNING MA’AM’.

Well Done: Well, I do utter it sometime, but with such a fake expression that nobody is impressed. Worse, they suspect that I must be pulling their legs badly. Sometimes I am truthful; sadly no-one believes my words. Truly, complimenting others is not my forte.

No: I simply envy those who are straightforward in life. I wonder why I always struggle to draw the line and save myself from unwanted hazards by saying a definite ‘NO’ whenever the situation demands. Life would be lot easier for me and others too if that would be the case.

I miss you: I can never recount a single incident when I uttered this beautiful word to someone. I mean you feel so good whenever you hear it from someone. It adds warmth to relationships. It’s my bad luck to know that I can never make someone’s day special by uttering these three words.

Sorry: I am stubborn, to say the least. The reason why I never say sorry even when I am 200% wrong. Hope I could change myself, but s…. (oops I almost uttered it)
