To Bangalore, With Love


You are an art piece! Something too beautiful, yet messed up. Where beauty and imperfection go hand in hand,darkness and light are intricately woven to make you glow and look prettier. You are eyed dark damsel and I love you!
 I have hated you lots. Yes you have been my darkest fear and ugliest nightmare. I have hated you more than anything ever and i have never hated anything as much. You had all my hatred. There was not a single thing I did not do to avoid you! I ran away, I turned my face away and cried, I literally hid under the cot and yelled “ Do not let her near me!!” I never wanted you. Oh! I was such a moron I hated you!
But then! It was you who came to me. With a warm summer grin, you came to me, you held me tight, looked at me with pity and slowly whispered into my years “Chill deary! I love you and im gonna change your life!” Oh god! It was such an eye opener! I was shaken for a moment, and then, i fell in love with you the next moment! As if it is something divine, so pure, so beautiful.
Remember the first day I was with you and it rained? Our first monsoon shower, or may be it was something you did to welcome me my love, it was beautiful! It was you n it was me and I loved it. You welcomed me into your arms and I lost myself in the embrace. So thrilling, so ecstatic!
I know1 a few still think my courtship with you was disgraceful; they feel i have messed up myself more with you being a part myself! But they do not understand. How can love be a disgrace when it is beyond all rights and wrongs? They will never quite realise you have become an inseparable part of my existence and that my being has blended so well with you. For them, you are just a city, a means of livelihood.  But for me, you are means of my being! You are my doe eyed black beauty.
But as they say all good things end soon, our togetherness ended too! In the very less time i spent with you, you have  become so much a part of me that I do not find words to explain! In spite of my failures, blunders and confusions, I loved you and will keep loving you forever. And I can never let you go!
In the moments I am away from you, I have only longed to get back to you. To run back with the haste of a baby who runs to his mother and lose myself in your eternal depth. I love you for your intensity and flow. I have always wanted you back.
Come to me oh love1 come to me with the summer grin and monsoon moist, pull me to yourself and whisper again, that you love me and want me again! Hold me tight in your arms and never ever let me go! Gulp me into your enormous heart and meke me lose myself in your beauty and grace.
I promise! I will walk hand in hand forever and will never abandon you! Its a promise, oh city that changes lives! Change me forever and get me back my. थोडी सी जमीन, थोडा आसमान
