I'M (not) A MERMAID

CHAPTER 4:

It started drizzling outside. Sitting at the window side and enjoying the rain is my favourite passtime, coz I was never allowed to go outside in the rain.
As the rain started pouring my thoughts started pondering. "Why is that I always had so many restrictions. Why can't I be normal and live life like others? What's that worrying dad so much about me?". There were many more questions which always remained unanswered.

From outside the window I felt like someone's staring at me. To my surprise it was Michelle. As soon as I saw her , she picked her phone and started texting. Within seconds I received her message. --"I know you are missing all the fun. We are going to the beach again. Your dad is out. All you need to do is to skip outta your window--The only way--Got just 10 minutes--Really wish to have fun?! Then rush!!"

It just took 5 minutes for me to get out of the house. None of the maids noticed me escaping. I just threw myself into Michelle's car. While I was wondering how dad would feel finding out my absence, a soothing voice said 'Hello' to me. It was Michelle's mom.Later I messeged my dad--' Dad, gone out with my friends. Will be back by evening.SAFE".

Finally this is what I was waiting for --My first journey into the outside world began.:)

CHAPTER 2:




From the past 13 years I did nothing other than singing. Singing
was the only thing I knew. I was so busy that I hardly had friends. Neither I attended the school regurarly nor attended any of the birthday parties of my friends.


And my best friend Michelle had started hating me. She hates me coz I never cared to wish her on her birthday. She hates me coz she is always called as Jennifer's best friend, apart from being called as Michelle. She hates me coz I never invited her home.She hates me for many more reasons. Finally, she stopped talking to me and never even throws a smile at me.Oh my God!! She is acting like she dont know me.

I wish I could give her a big hug and say, "Michelle ,Sorry for all that I did.I cant hurt you or miss you anymore. You are my best buddy".

CHAPTER 3:

Five weeks ago, one fine morning Michelle called me. She was screaming outta excitement. "Jenni, Linda's mom is willing us to take us on a holiday tour to her granny's home in Lalaland.You know what! It has got the world's most beautiful seashore.We are allowed to swim. Dont worry, we will never get you into the deeper waters. It will be fun. You are comin with us,right??!!".


I was so excited. I really wanted to go. I wanted to tell Michelle a big yes. But instead,"You know about my father right? I will come if he is willing to send me",was what I told her.


Michelle was so upset. She just told, "We will miss you Jenni". Before I could tell her, "I miss you too",she hanged up the phone. I know she was angry with me. Tears were running down my cheeks. I was missing all the fun.

I'M (not) A MERMAID....

CHAPTER 1:

It has really become hard for me these days to listen to what my dad says. Coz there are many do's and dont's.
I'm 18 years old now and I know what is good and what is bad. I hope dad will understand this soon.
There are many people who love my voice. I love when people tell me that my voice is mesmerising. And thats why I chose singing as my career.

My dad says "Jeni,Your voice is your asset. People like you . You look more beautiful when you sing". I got used to this 'when you sing' thing.
Today I am a famous singer in Texas and I am busy in making new albums and live concerts. I am one of the richest teens. I am Jennifer Cruz..

MY WORK

I MISS YOU

You are talking about the girl,whom I have never known before.
You always say that she is an angel,and I understand that she is beautiful.
I can see your love for her in your eyes,
coz everytime you talk about her,I have seen that sparkle in your eyes.
I'm dying hard to hide my tears and you never understand coz I always fake my smile.
My guitar voice lost its own rejoice.
And my songs lost their rythms,
coz they know your love is'nt for me.

So I am walkin in the rain,in search of a new world;
And there you are smiling and guiding me.
Then I turn back to look at you.
I just wanted to say I MISS you.

VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL

Why do my eyes stare at you as they had never done before?
Why my heart dance to the wonderful rythms on your sight??
Why a cute little curve slips on my cheeks on seeing your smile???

coz when all the world goes mute and when if it were you walkin on the delighted path,it will be only me who keeps on following your every step.

Then I try to call you in all different names I knew.But unfortunately none of the names came out of my lips ,coz I always fear of going wrong with one.

Though I have never seen you before,I felt deep in my heart that I have known you so well.

Is that what you are feeling too!Did you find me special,as you are to me now??

Did you feel this to be LOVE as I felt??

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

EVRYTHING IS CHANGING....

Yes, coz I am feeling it. Right from the day of the hostel registration, where I had really no idea what to do when registrations got over for the hostel we opteed for!!
I felt it when sometimes I think of what exactly I am doing?!!
I felt it when some people became so close to me..Haha,very funny. Those are the people whom I never wanted to be a friend with. And now they are my best friends.
I felt it when I came to know there are people who care for me. Shocked to see unexpected people in hospital when I had viral fever. Hmm...Will never forget when one among 'em told me I looked horrible....lol....
I really wanna thank my classmates, who had shown how beautiful a college life could be.
I really wanna thank my gang for making me remember every moment.
I wanna thank all my friends who call me with all those crazy names(posh,rowdy,kothi,idiot,sammu,chimpu,andy,mental,,uff lot more names....)

Birthday BLASTS in canteen

Ting tong .....message pops up in my cell...MEET U IN THE CANTEEN AT 4....The same message pops up in my friend's cell too...We look at each other..At 4??Its already 3.45...What else to do??I wind up my guitar practice and my roommates feel happy for it coz they already knew there's gonna be freedom from noise pollution!!Me and my friend get ready quickly fearing not to be late for a birthday party..Then,scene shifts to canteen..Friends already waiting for us looking every minute at the watch..There we go on time..Hmmm....Orders for the so called SUPER SPECIAL dishes in canteen....Then the gift sessions...Anthakshari....Truth and dare...These happens in every birthday treat....Commenting the people around us is our favorite pass-time...

This time as usual a guy is pointed out. He stood in the middle of the canteen looking at every table. I thought him to be a junior, perhaps a poor fellow who has never been to canteen before. Then a joke cracks from one among us and my attention turns towards my friends..After a long time I got paused to see the same poor fellow standing beside our table and cleaning up the tables. Then while he was leaving I saw him limping..I was totally moved. But at the same time felt good, for there was a great amount of confidence in him. He was good looking,well dressed and was with robust. One negative point of being physically challenged did not take him back.

He has become a great inspiration coz apart from having no drawbacks , we feel nervous and lack confidence at times.. haha...God must be crazy!!!!

CHILDREN -LITTLE ANGELS

Ours is an engineering college.Never come across kids except during some fests , where our lecturers bring their kids to the college.And its really fun playing with 'em.All those kids being neatly dressed,having chocolates and cookies in their hands all the time,,..And when the day gets over they move on, waving goodbye to all of us(even then their mouths are filled up with cookies)..

But there are many kids who even dont know what cookies are..I happened to see two such kids outside our hostel,playing in a garbage..they were having fun fighting with each other and screaming,Coz they never worry about what they dont have..The very next day I had my sem exam..At first I got irritated ..But later when I watched 'em playing ,I forgot my world..

I wonder how hard the life becomes when we get older..more responsibilities ,more studies,more thirst for possessing things...But kids,,they have their own lovely world of innocence..

And thats why children are called as mortal angels.....
