My Diary....My Thoughts

Slam! He shut the door with a lot of force and it scared the hell out of Rebecca. Roger came from nowhere like a gusty wind and started shouting. "Rebecca.. Rebecca..." She was sitting near the window in her bedroom, lost in her thoughts like always. He saw that TV was on and then he went to the bedroom and saw Rebecca sitting lonely near the window and observing the road outside. Roger and Rebecca had married 2years ago and had a strong relationship built with trust. But as you guessed things were not going in the right direction. Robert went to sit next to her but she shifted to the edge of the room and gradually on the bed.

"What's the matter?" Roger asked with a commanding tone. She mumbled something. "Speak up then!" he said loudly. Rebecca looked at him with frightening eyes. "I know who she is.. I know you are having an affair with a lady" she said slowly. "Oh really! so you are a dectective now?" He smirked. " We may be a couple but I have a private life and no one has any rights to enter there"He said. "No, I am your wife and you can't do this to me"
"Ofcourse I can" He suddenly got up. " I can do anything I want" he suddenly threw a glass on the floor and made Rebecca to stand on those pieces. "ouch!" she cried in pain. He had a look in his eyes that frightened her. He pulled her hair and dragged her to the kitchen. " There is nothing in this kitchen. The frying pan is also empty and he started hitting the pan on her head" She was trying to fight back but she wasn't strong enough to resist. He banged her face to the dishwasher and threw her on the floor. She could feel blood trickling down from her forehead. In an attempt to fight back, she grabbed whatever was lying on the floor and started hitting him non stop. She brought the heavy flower vase and ...Bang!.. she hit him hard on his head. Things started looking blurry to her and she fell unconscious.

Next thing she sees is in a hospital lying on a bed. " She has seriously hurt her head and we are not sure if she would go to coma for some reason".. she heard doctors talking to the police. As she opened her eyes she was amazed to see that she is still alive! but where is Roger? Her eyes started frightening again and looking around for the monster. She asked the nurse and came to know that when she hit him with the vase it was so strong that it burst his head and he almost died on the spot. "So, I am safe and he can't hit me anymore?" she said crying. "Was that a regular thing Ms. Rebecca?" Police asked her. "He used to hit me everyday. But I don't want to talk about it now" she started crying. Police interrogated her and came to know that this case was another domestic abuse case.

After couple of years Rebecca married again and had kids. Her kids grew up and once she visited her daughter Michelle and found that she had bruises on her arm. "Where did you get these bruises from?" she asked Michelle. "Hmm well my boy friend .. he hit me" she said...

Well, it was happening again.. Domestic violence continues in one family or other.

Its time to say no to domestic violence. Stand up against it. It could be either man abusing woman or vice versa. You should stand up against to it and take action whatever possible.

I want to escape to a place,

where I can watch sunrise and sunset,

I want to escape in the memories of my life,

Where I saw happy, sad and beautiful moments

I want to rest my head upon his chest,

Where I can watch him breathe.

I can see his lips converting into a smile,

Then I know I have lit his heart

I want to escape into the dusk,

With the burning love desires,

In the night along the beach,

Where I can give in myself in his arms

We stare hours together at the sky,

To find clouds whisking away for a moonlit night,

Wishing upon a falling star,

And kissing heaven high

That's the place where I would like to Escape,

Away from this world Away from Everyone,

Just Me and Him,

And the stars and Moon along with us!

Rajshri climbed the steps and hurried through the hallway of her high school. She was in 12th std and was studying in a posh boarding school in Nainital. It was her final year of the high school and she was sad since the board exams were approaching soon and she has to leave her friends. As she approached her locker to take her books she found a pink envelop sealed with a heart stuck on the locker door.

I want to list out few differences between good friend and great friend. This post is ofcourse not mine but its a consolidation of my emails ;)

I entered the house slowly. I saw few flowers on the table which said " Welcome home". I picked up those flowers and smelled the sweet fragrance of Roses. I moved further and lights turned on themselves as and when I walked. I was scared for a second but then realized that the new house is supposed to have motion sensor-ed switches. I was relieved after wards. I entered slowly into the bedroom. I turned the lights ON and surprise....... I saw all my family members waiting for me with cake and flowers. But me who was weak hearted, fell down on the floor and lay unconscious. This was one of the horror experience .. although not really scary but still felt the pain in my heart !

We all heard about the story of Mahatma Gandhi, where he spells the word 'Kettle' as 'ketle'. His friends were able to write the spelling correctly but he couldn't. The teacher begin to check the spellings of other students and found Gandhiji's spelling to be wrong. He tries to signal him to write the correct spelling from his friend's book. But he refuses to copy it. The teacher was angry with Gandhi ji and says that he is a disgrace to the class and can't even look around and write correct spelling". But Gandhi ji says that he can be a disgrace but he doesn't want to lie. Gandhiji felt bad that he disappointed his teacher but he passed in his own examination.

Ever heard of the story Pied-Piper of hemlyn, the guy who plays the magic flute which lures rats and children from what they are doing and they just blindly follow him. If we put this concept in our real world scenario then yes we are these children who are running blindly in the rat race of these advertisements and media. If you still don't agree with me then let me put across some points which will make you to realize what I am saying.

We come across many questions in our life. Right from our childhood these questions never leave us alone! I always used to get the haunted memories of my exam questions even after passing the exam! However, the reason i selected this strange topic today to write is many a times in our life we come across some questions, answers to which have changed our life.

Docking a boat doesn't really seem to be so easy when we compare it with parallel parking our car on a street or parking a motorcycle. After living 5 years in a city which is famous for beaches and sea shore this thought wandered in my brain. I went to the harbor bay and found many boats docked close to each other in a line. So, I thought of asking an expert how they do that since it seemed to be a hard task for me. Here is what I have learnt about docking a boat.

We all travel a lot to different places. There are some places which we don't like and don't remember and there are some exotic places where we travel and have long lasting memories related to that or some places where we want to go. We define that place as Xanadu or very beautiful place , in our mind. I came across one such place where i recently visited. That was the Islands of Bahamas. Even now when i close my eyes i see the same blue sky and blue atlantic ocean surrounding the islands.

Bahamas is the place where your dreams become the reality and you won't notice the difference in reality and your dream. These are the islands of Bahamas which are like no other place. It is one of the big archipelago consisting of about 2000 small islands. The water is the clearest water on the planet. Your gaze will actually meet your toe when you look into the water.

Even though i have been to only couple of the islands, beauty of each island extends far beyond the extraordinary natural scenarios. I felt like I have stepped into an extraordinary place within myself. This is a perfect location for celebrating occassions like marriage, honeymoon, 25th anniversary etc. The blue water, the clear sky every moment was breath taking in Bahamas.
