Review: Room

Room by Emma Donoghue
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It took me time to get used to reading from a child's perspective and language. But then I got a hang of it. It is not just a simple story of perseverance and escape but more than that. It deals with the struggles after such an event, mental health and about exploring a new world after you are out in a real world at the age of 5 instead of being born into what is considered normal.Room

Review: The Story of Beautiful Girl

The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is an absolute read for someone who loves to read real to life, beautiful stories about love, struggle, life in general. This one is not for an adrenaline pump...I do love some thriller kicks sometimes but I also love and appreciate books that make me think, feel and worry about it's characters.

To my valentine!

I know you love me in your special ways

Sometimes kiss and sometimes other ways

A sparkle of smile and that shy gaze I see

Sometimes hands and sometimes words

A little help here and a little mess there

But all in all it's love I care

I know you love me in your special ways

I know you want me to know

That you love me all the time

You know we speak different languages and all

But we both mean the same, come on

Love is what keeps us whole

Day and night it shines with us

I know you love me in your special ways

I know when in love there is no date and time

All we know is love each other all the time

It is not a switch to turn it ON

But a feeling that carries ON

And I love you so much and on and on

All the time I don't know how it goes on

Sometimes I smile thinking of you

Sometimes I am angry because of you

But it's still love that i do to you

Happiness and glee fill me in

With you in my thoughts all the time

I know there is no date or time

To tell you that I love you now 

But you know so busy we are

Always managing chores that we have 

So I think we need a special day

When I take some time out

To write my love for the love of my life

And let you know that you are the special one

Always have been the cherished one

No matter if I punch you or smile

I always feel the love for you guy

I so much love you now and ever

It's not going to change ever

We will be together forever and ever.

Sands in the Hands

Does it feel like Sands in the hands?
You reach where you
Always wanted to be
You do everything you
Always wanted to do
And then suddenly
It feels like sands in the hands!!!!!!!!!
Why did I do this?
What was I
thinking all the time?
It doesn’t feel
The way I
thought it would!
And it all feels like
Sands in the hands…
You try to grip it hard
And it just slips all off
You panic
And hold it tighter
And it drains through
All the sieves of Hands
And it was all sand
That you were
Chasing all along!
Does it feel like sands in the hands?????????

Aaj kuchh Andhera sa hai

Yahan aaj Kuchh

Andhera sa hai

Dil aaj kuchh

Dooba Dooba sa hai

Ek aahat hui

Toh kuchh

Ghabrahat si hui

Na jaane aaj kyon

Sab kuchh

Sehma sehma sa hai

Pata hai ki ek din

Ujaala bhi aayega

Muskurahat se

Ek din Sunahla

Bhi ho jayege

Pata hai ki khushiyan

Kuchh zyada

Door nahi hain

Par fir bhi aaj

Kuchh andhera sa hai.

Kya ho jo yeh raat

Andheri hi reh jaye?

Dar lagta hai kahin

Ham akele na ho jayen.

Aise toh kabhi

Hum darte naa the

Par aaj aise hi

Kyon sab

Geela geela sa hai.

Yoohin Dil

Ghabraya sa hai.

Pata hai hamein

Ki jo aaj tum hote

Toh aise hum

Yoon seham jaate nahi

Par pata hamein

Ki ab bas kuchh din hi

Aise door rehna hai

Fir toh bas roshni

Ka basera hai

Par fir bhi

Aaj kuchh andhera sa hai.

CORNER

I feel like rolling like a ball
And just lie in one corner
Corner of my room
Corner of this world
When I can’t be the centre
Centre of your heart
Then will lie in one corner
Where no one
Can see me again!
It’s just so sad
To be left all alone
Take care of myself
All the time all alone.
It kills me to be dependent
But this what I need
I don’t know if I can
Be more and more nice
Sweet and calm and nice!
Everything is cold
So cold like an Ice!
Waiting for the Ice
To make me numb again
So numb that I don’t feel
Don’t feel and think again.
Will roll in one corner
And stay there forever
then
Will not think again
Will not feel again.
