ABCW & APED: Kiss

Two Lips Meet

Every nerve in the body burns

The hand slips down to feel every curve, every contour

A small fire of passion ignites, and turns into a big roaring flame

When the kiss of Life happens

Dear Diary,

There is a park near my house. I used to see this old ragged looking woman coming every morning and sitting for about 2-3 hours in this particular bench below the banyan tree and kept a few peonies and 2 candies on this bench before leaving. This lady has been coming to this park for as long as I know.
This "candy-keeping" made me curious every time I saw her. So, today I walked up to her and asked, what's with the candy-peonies business. to that she said.


"Simon and I met here when we were 4, we had a fight on this very bench"
"I tore the button of his checkered shirt" she chuckled
"I felt so sorry for him, I got him these candies and  peonies, he loved them, we hugged and from then on we became best friends"
"we played together, studied together, and we fought a lot, and always patched up with these candies"
"We fell in love when we were 13, we held hands in this bench for the first time"
"I had my first kiss in this bench" she said with a faraway look

Then she pointed in the far end of the bench that had a carved heart with S & D written on it, she said 'Look, we even carved our initials, and said the day this carving goes, is the day our love shall fade"
We grew up, Simon joined the army, he was going away on a deputation, "we kissed our good bye here"
I waited so many seasons for him. And he came. He knew where to find me. I was here waiting for him with his favorite candies"
He proposed me on this bench with not roses but peonies

"In our days, marriage was for keeps, we got married, on 10th December 1930. a beautiful dewy evening" she smiled to herself

"Simon again left for his deputation on Christmas the same year"
"And I come here because I know this is where he will come to find me"

She gave me a chaste smile a walked away holding her stick.

I am standing here with tears in my eyes, looking at the candies and flowers.

I am the Mirror of Personality

Not many dare to look at me

I am not sure how many people are familiar with the Indian Superhit movie "Sholay"

The first thing that came to my mind when i saw this old oil lantern is Jaya Bachchan then Jaya Badhuri (Radha) in a white saree switching the lights off, when Amitabh Bachchan (Jai) is playing this music on his harmonica and looking at her from far

APED: Write

"Write" What do I write?
Experience
What do I write?
Life

No one in this life tells you your story, You write your own story of life.
How do you write it is up to you.
You can be sad, cry, loathe, hate your job, hate people around yoy, hate the place you live in and make a sad story of your life.
else
You can be happy, smile, make others smile, make friends, fall in love, love the place you live in. travel places, get your heart broken, have fights, patch up, party and have a story of life that people would love to live.

Writing a story of life is no magic, until you make the story sound magical

APED: Speech

My name is Simone, I am poor. I work really hard to earn my daily bread. I don't remember when I got myself a pair of new denims.

I still use my old faded denims with torn pockets. Eons back, the denim I have was a pride in my closet, with rhinestone studded pockets. I used to live in a lovely brownstone house. I lost my parents to an accident 8 years back.

I was alone, and lost then. I didn't know what to do.

I walked down to the river that flows through my town, I wanted to jump off that bridge, and go away to my parents, I stood  there crying for a long time.

Then I turned to go to my home, that had an "On Sale" board. It broke my heart. I was born in this house, I have seen my parents love bloom in this house. this house was my heart.

Bu, I was too broken inside to think about anything then, I didn't have my parents, I was dropped out of school, I didn't have no money, now soon I wouldn't have a house.

That's when I stumbled upon this chance, 

Thank you judges for choosing me. I didn't want to win for fame. I wanted o win to buy my brownstone house. I wanted to win to buy back my memories in that house.

Thank you

- I am Simone. I am the winner of Miss Universe 2088

APED: Pirates

This image only reminds me of "Pirates"

Cheers to my mates, for we have the loot
Toast to the pirates, and their shiny rewards

This is what I have always  loved, Pirates life for me,
The treasure, is the reward for thou and thee

Cheers to my mates, My villany, larceny.

I lower my hat for the shipmates lost to the sea,
Maybe they were not meant to be

I am the devil, the black sheep, the scoundrel of this batch
How proud I am to wear this eye patch

Cheers to my mates, Its a Pirates life for me
