Miss you everyday!

I miss you today, I' ll miss you tomorrow
There is some pain, and there is some sorrow!

I live a life which is so worthless
Without you everything's just mess!

With you in my life every place looked heaven
The touch of your hands turned everything 'golden'!

The light of your eyes lit up my dark life
Emptiness gone, love filled up my eyesight!

The smell of your skin, spread fragrance everywhere
The smile of your lips were rosier than ever!


You were with me when i was a loser
I won it all but lost you forever! 

I walked away when you said 'Dont go please'
Now you are gone leaving behind your memories!

Tears of your name are left in my eyes now
Without you my life has gone hollow!

There is just pain, there is just sorrow
I still miss you everyday, I am gonna miss you tomorrow...

Even when i am gone..

When my time arrives, would you be next to me…
And hold me tight, as I close my eyes..
When I need your love, would you promise to stay
With me, forever…
 I will be there when the times and tides turn over you..
 I will be there to bring you back to life..
Times will pass but our love will always remain
The world around you will change but I will be the same..
And even when I am gone,
You will find my name, you will find my name!

When the sky falls, would you hide under me..
And watch me brave, the mighty blows over me..
When your tears fall, will they fill up my wounds
Or wash my sins, blind my eyes as I lose my sight..
I will be back and will still find you again..
I will be hunting down all of your pain..
They will come and try to steal the best of you, best of you..
But a light of me will send them burning from within , deeper in..
And even if I will lose,
 I will make you win, I will make you win!

When the roads are rough, would you guide me away..
Or watch me cruise, all the way, as I stray
Will you make divine, an entire life of mine
And be my soul my guiding light, the way you shine
I will be there when they turn their backs over you..
I will be there like an untold story that you knew..
Time will come and you will find me next to you, next to you
The world around you will die but I will be alive..
And even when I am gone, 
I will be nearby, I will be nearby!

A dark night near PGI Chandigarh

The PGI is a state of the art hospital in Chandigarh renowned for its best medical facilities not only in the north but in the entire country as well. Everyday hundreds and on some days even thousands of patients enter its building for diagnosis and treatment of various ailments and accidents. The hospital emergency building is a place where everyday some get new lives while some reach their last destinations.

           But, away from the 24/7 hustle bustle at the hospital compounds, there are certain dark quiet areas in the vicinity which become alive in the dead of the night to departed souls who walk free, enjoying their new found freedom away from the clutches of life!

It was one such cold dark night with the festival of Diwali just a week away. I worked at a retail outlet in sector 17 and that night I was on my bike returning late from work after conducting an audit of the shop. I stayed in Nayagaon which was around half a kilometer away from the PGI.

The darkest first hour had started when I took the Madhya Marg route passing through sec 16 towards the sector 15-PGI roundabout and after passing by the New OPD gates I had just entered the badly lit dark road near PEC (Punjab Engineering College) when I was suddenly startled by what I saw! It seemed as if a girl in her twenties was walking alone on the road. She was wearing a Salwar and a shawl covered her head as she walked alongside the road towards my direction.

She stopped the moment the headlights from my bike fell on her. I was reminded of the horror stories of dead women walking alone in the streets. I feared this to be anything but different! Hence, I raced past her almost blinding myself to cut her presence. Only after reaching a comfortable distance away from her that I turned around to look at her expecting her to disappear by now as it happens in most ghost encounters. But, she was still there standing with her eyes fixed on me. For a while I thought what if she was a girl in distress? Someone who needed help! But, I was too terrified to go near her. I just raced my bike and sped towards the village.

I had just entered the village crossing when I happened to notice something in the rear mirror of my bike. The sight of it shivered me from within. It was a dark face like structure. Trembling! I stopped at once to turn around. But, there was no one behind. I looked at the mirror again. The face was gone. My entire body shook with fear. Unable to drive anymore I stood there holding my head and remembering all the gods that I could. Moments later I saw a man on a bicycle riding swiftly towards the city. I was relieved to see a sign of life but at the same time I felt concern for the man.

‘In this time of the night!’ I thought I must stop this man else the poor guy might run into that departed girl! I raised my hand signaling him to stop but he cycled faster. I even kick started my bike again to make him feel that I was not a ghost and that he must not fear me. But, the man was cycling away as he went past me without even noticing me! Finally I decided to call him and I was about to speak out just when I was left speechless by yet another horrifying sight. The man and his bicycle vanished in the darkness right in front of my eyes!

Having enough encounters with the dead, I just raced my already buzzing bike and drove as fast as I could towards my home. I couldn’t sleep that whole night. The image of the girl and the man kept appearing in front of me!

That morning while going through the newspaper I came across an article about an incident a night ago when a girl of the village succumbed to her injuries after being mercilessly gangraped by some unidentified men. Her only surviving brother was also found dead an hour later in a no-man area outside the PGI hospital. In a state of shock, he had reportedly consumed poison. They were survived by no one. I kept on reading the news few more times. It was apparent that the girl I saw in the night was her and the man on the bicycle was her poor brother rushing to save his sister!

The body dies, but the soul remains!

Since then I never took that route again whenever returning late from work but their story had removed the fear of ghosts from my mind. No soul would want to be a wandering ghost. It’s the unnatural deaths forced on them by the injustice and atrocities of the society which hamper their peaceful departure from this world! I was also moved by the love and concern of a brother for his sister which remained intact even after his death.

The pain dies with the body, but love indeed becomes a part of the soul! Forever!
