Unexpected Goodbye!

I still don't understand what went wrong,It was really good but now it's all gone.

There was a time, when we fought, played and laughed, That was the time I felt you were my other half.

You had always told "I'll never leave you, no matter what "I trusted your words so much and never gave it a second thought.

Well, it was something less than love but more than friendship, We realised it too late, I still long for that deep kinship.

You left me, when I was in a bad state without giving an explanation, I have now accepted it and respect your decision.

Our friendship will last forever, though we ain't in touch.It's really difficult to forget you, I miss you so much!

She's independent and has a very sharp mind, She is just amazing, lovely and kind.

She loves shopping like every other girl, She's the best person I've ever seen in the world.

She's a great friend with kind attitude, She's very different in terms of showing gratitude.

Colorbar cosmetics

Colorbar is a rising cosmetic brand in India. It is best for working ladies because Colorbar products are long lasting. It is a little costly when compared to other brands like Lakme, Maybelline etc. But the money spent is worth it. Lipsticks are long lasting. Mascara and Eyeliner is waterproof and makes your eyes look much prettier. ColorBar Primer must be applied soon after washing your face and before applying foundation cream, it feels very soft and fresh and helps your make up to last longer. I have purchased all the cosmetics from Colorbar and very happy with them.

A Daughter in law

Just because I'm a girl, You can't mould me the way you want,

For I'm not born, just to hear to your taunt.

Treat me like your own daughter, for that's something I wish.

For I'm not unto you a servant, That cleans the floor and dish.

I'm a human, a normal girl, who wants to lead a normal life.

I want to sing and dance like a normal girl and not just be your son's wife.

I shall take care of your house like my own, I shall take up the responsibility.

I expect you to be impartial and forgo your insecurity.

Just because I'm a girl, You can't mould me the way you want,

For I'm not born, just to hear to your taunt.

A lovely video which shows how to maintain Mother-In-Law Daughter-In-Law relationship 

If you find fault in your Daughter-In-Law

Long distance relationship

Its hard to accept that you are not near,

To lose you, baby, is my greatest fear.

I know we fight like kids a lot of times,

Our love is like sun, that always shines.

I've hurt you a lot, in many ways,

We shall never part away in our bad phase.

I've realised how much you love me, though a little late,

My love has always increased, ever since our first date.

I wish and hope our love lasts longer,

For I'm sure day by day it will grow stronger.

You are the man who brought happiness into my life,

I can't wait anymore to be your beloved wife.

Each second without you passes like an hour,

You are the one, who healed my scar.

Life seems to be meaningless without you my love,

Please come back soon, for I have loads of love to shove.

A girl!

I'm a crazy person, with positive attitude,

I have my own ways of expressing gratitude.

I'm a person with absolutely no ego,

Mistakes of everyone, I shall always forgo.

For relationships matter to me more than anything,

Joy in everyone's life, I shall always bring.

I'm a friend, a sister, a daughter, a mother,

I'm the person who keeps everything in an order.

Don't ever judge me by my look,

I might look like a tomboy yet be a great cook.

I'm stylish and kiddish in my own way,

I really don't bother what my enemies say.

I'm independent and do not need anybody's help,

When alone, I shall adore and embrace myself.

I'm strong, determined, lovable and kind,

I shall leave an impression on everyone's mind...

An Accident

I was riding safe with a helmet and slow, I had offered prayer on time with my mood a little low.

I had to reach home to see my wife, I had to reach home to see my children and my grand children who are my life.

I experienced pleasantness while I was on my way, It made me feel so happy and gay.

All I could see is a bus with high beam light, After which all I could see is white and white.

Then all I remember is being under a giant bus, I could hear people all around creating a great fuss.

I tried to get up but couldn't due to great pain, And then I noticed my own blood pouring out like rain.

Now I could see all my precious memories in a flashback, Those lovely sweet memories that nobody can ever hack.

I wanted to say, is a short and sweet goodbye to all, Because this was something that I hadn't expected at all.

The time had now come to enter the world which is immortal, I closed my eyes and remembered the almighty with a chortle.

Nothing is now left with me to carry forward,Except for my good name and good deeds for which I would get a reward...
