A Beginning

The Story Teller traces
her own story, the races
of the heart, the feats
of the soul and the sweet
enjoyment of the mind.
As the tales unwind
today when the breeze
of change soothes the freeze
of winter and rustles the
leaves of my story, the
vivid illuminations
of the recent recitations,
inked by the quill of time
reflect the midnight chime
heard exactly a year ago.

The last year began on
a usual note masking the lawn
of lush ambitions spread
before me. I did dread
the spate of exams I had
to face. I discovered power
in poetry and the flower
of freedom in obedience.
I was also an audience
to many funny incidents at college.
On quite the falling edge
of May, I bid adieu to my
first year at college. On my
entry to the next level,
I enjoyed being part of the marvel
of a quiz team and winning
a prize too. The shining
crown jewel has to be
my very first "salary".

I revelled in my new-found

friendships with my home-bound

bus-mate, the stories we shared

and the old bonds dared

not to snap either

but grew stronger.

My birthday this year,
from being a humble dear
day sky-rocketed into
an awesome party. Onto
all my friends do shower
my praise for making every hour
memorable that special day.

I would also like to say,

The seed of this blog

Bloomed after hours of slog

this year. Also the most 

impacting and the most

influencing event has to be

my very first tour. To be

so far away from my

family and part of my

unpredictable tour was an

experience I'll never forget. An

amalgam of facing fears,

having fun, laughs and tears.

On a lighter note, of course

I proved I lay in the course

of becoming the most accident

prone person, with potential dents

to my head, glass pricking,

electric shocks and falling.

The leaves are now fresh with

the smell of fresh parchment. With

no further ado, this new day

has begun in a nice way,

waiting to be saved in the

annals of memory. Let the

celebrations begin today,

Happy New Year's Day.
