Lost and Found


I lost something precious

A few days back

I lost something dear

To an avaricious attack


Ever since, it’s just been

A phase of doubt and pain

I quell it and it rises

Like a blinding haze again


Hot anger surges

At the unfairness of it all

My strengths now appear

So weak and small


It leads me to question

(as I knew it would)

Am I worth the pride I have?

Am I any good?


Ok! So that’s hurtful!!

But it’s also true

I better start being me

(Only I know how to!)


And if I am what I know I am

Can a little jolt pull me down?

I cry when I hurt, but if you’re alert

You’ll see a smile fighting every frown


So, smile again dear World,

I return sadder but wiser

I lost what I had, But I won it right back

And now I’m so much the nicer J



(My two-and-a-half months old N-73 was snatched from my hand in front of my building at 7.15pm!! It gave a jolt to my warm, safe little world - it was a rude awakening! Fear, anger, pain, helplessness, guilt - i felt it all. I lived it all; actually, wallowed in it. The N-73 seemed to have become a symbol of a personal failure. But a failure I am not. So, I am smiling again, though I'm mourning my mobile, still...)

it is really hard to forget the tiny devices in our hands. we always have our small world around these devices. and when it comes to mobile phone, phones are closely attached with our emotions, the exceptional device that defines our daily life, life-style. loosing your favorite phone, by any means, gives us tonnes of pains.

Yes heart breaks and shatters into million pieces....those precious little moments stored in a small lil instrument...Somethings are just more than a mere mobile...they hold the world...
