You were the same as I have seen you last,
Last night and all the last nights,
In a motion so involuntary,
My hand moved to touch your smile,
Like ripples in still water,
A new dimension opened to my effort,
Though the tips felt a cold of the screen,
The soul got stirred,
I was at the Louvre it seemed,
All by myself among those columns and arches,
And the lady with the mystique smile,
Dwarfed me with her magnificence,
An era rewound,
In a flash of a moment
A dozen years and a zillion memories passed thru my eyes,
Within the closed lids,
Filled an ocean of droplets,
Making a slight pass dropped the most beautiful pearl.
The smile on my face was better than yours.
Yes I did see you smile, in a similar curve.
Reality could never be this romantic.
No, I do not wish anything more than this.
A sight as close as this,
After a prolonged forbidden aura,
Virtual bliss,
Thanks for being around,
Now, how do I close the screen?

Prerna- a real inspiration
It used to be small class of 25 odd students in our sales and marketing class.
Prerna had handled it well, quiet by the book.
The case studies, the project works and role rehearsals.
As outspoken I was outside the class, the more I found myself dumbfound, in front of her.
We had known that she had done some real sales work at Blue-dart and thus had a command in performance sales, something that was only theory for us.
Later, as we moved on and faced numerous sales calls, we remembered all that she had preached.
All of us, of that batch have moved on in life.
and Prerna still has some inspiring stories for us.
It is only after a gap of 14 years, that some of us got together to know of what had gone through Prerna’s life in these years.
Having been diagnosed with breast cancer, some 11 years ago, she has been fighting the disease even though it spread to almost all parts of her anatomy. Hip, spine, thigh and even eye and brain.
For a woman to having survived 11 years of grueling pain is an accomplishment. She even had a baby in the course.
Managed the household and was never a burden on anyone, Vivek enlightens us.
Her husband Vivek finds inspiration in his wife and so it was him who’d nomenclature her.
Prerna, just published a book, by her name, being launched by Dia Mirza, with the help of Cancer society.
Some people surely live worth their name.
I wish her the best in life and beyond.
It is nice having known you Prerna.
