One of the reasons for mental illness
Is not being able to share
Dark sides to people.
Who are either preoccupied
Or dont want to wreck their mood,
By discussing about it.

The girl with golden hair
The girl with golden hair
"I dyed my hair today" she exclaimed and spun around to show the strands, hidden behind the lustrous raven layers.
'Does it look good on me?' , Rayna asked
Yes it does my child. The mother hugged her child.
It was the day of her admission in college. The feeble teen dragged herself to her wardrobe and grabbed her best pair. A sap green top and a pair of faded ripped jeans along with the black wedges she got the day before.
'oyee where are you going?' her brother asked . 'its my admission day
bhaiya.. finally I'm getting into a college now... Yaayyy' she jumped an inch off the ground .
'ya thats fine but you have a test today, remember?'
'Yes bhaiya i remember that, I'm prepared well, dont worry' she winked and flipped her hair to the other side showing him the color.
'huhh you look like the same idiot you were yesterday' he made a mocking face.
"How mean bhaiyaa... ",
The plum lipshade lined her lips and she had filled them with a lighter tone of magenta. The black gel liner glided along her lashline , outlining her almond shaped eyes. She was slim and tall. No wonder she looked beautiful,but listening to her brother She made a puppy face.
'you look like cartoon when you make that face' her brother mocked her again.
'dont forget you promised me for an ombre hair color. I wanna try every style before i lose all my hair' Rayna winked and left. Reyansh stood there, didn't know what to say.
'Raynaa verma. Registration number 21398 Here is my SLC and the other documents maam. ' she had a smile glued on her face the whole time.
The teachers in charge of admissions were almost drenched in sweat. The current was gone. Irritation was over powering their senses. "Where is your transfer certificate?" Miss shayna, the prof. Of English dpt asked. "Maam i have them in the folder. Just a second" rayna panicked for a moment searching for the papers but thankfully got them before the professor lost her calm.
'Okay now sign here dear'. As Rayna signed her small tattoos showed up on her wrist and ring finger. There was a small infinity ring on her finger, which almost looked like a real ring. On her wrist, there was a band of heartbeats ending with a straight line and a heart. The letter 's' was hooked with the heart in a fashionable way. Somewhere it made the professor wonder the reason behind the letter. None of her parent's name started with that letter. Maybe it was her age of stupidity, not knowing the real meaning of relationships.
'yes maam its done', Rayna replied. "welcome to our college'' miss Shayna greeted her though it never sounded welcoming. Rayna smiled.
" Hey girl listen... " Rayna turned back and walked towards the bench again. "Take this sheet and go to the office, they may ask for it." Okay maam she nodded with a smiley face. " And yes" miss shayna continued, just like your school this college too have some rules to follow.. the students are not allowed to color hair or do a fashion show here, dear.Cut your hair or repaint them, as you like but you must look like a student, not like a model dear" Her words were like sweet poison.. though she spoke softly , the words were no less than an invisible knife stabbing Rayna's heart again and again with each words she uttered. She faked a smile and walked out of the college.
After the admission day her first day in college went out so well.. the world seemed to be a better place now. New uniform new bag. Keeping miss shayna's word in mind she hid her strands between the braides. Or clutched her hair and tied a tight rubber band and folded them or made a bun. She was a fashionable girl, having tattoos on wrist and one on the back of her neck. Soon she became the centre of attention.
In a couple of days the result of the tests were out. They didnt make her sad. She didnt let anyone know about the results. Rayna kept dragging herself through every situation. She convinced her brother to go to every shopping mall and bought tee shirts, eyelashes, mascaras, .. she has always had dreamt of buying these though she had no idea how to use them except the liner
"Ombre hair.. finalllyyyyyyy!!!" The excitement on her face made Her brother rambled through his phone to see if he had enough money for all the demands of his sister.
The next day in college she didnt bun her hair or braided or tied them anymore. Just a clutcher did well ..
She left her hair open. Contact lenses took the place of glasses. It was a tremendous change in her. Not only her looks but also her confidence, attitude everything. She didnt want to care about anyone or anything anymore.
'hey you... The girl with golden hair!!' came a voice. Rayna turned around and there was a girl asking for notes. Rayna gave her what she needed and passed a smile..
' i am sorry i didnt know your name so..' the girl paused.
"Im Rayna verma ". She replied. Rayna knew it well that she was now popular with the name 'the girl with golden hair now' .
Miss shayna had already warned her the first day but now rayna was one of her favourite students, for Ray was good in her subject.
She had stopped complaining now. But others never did. Rayna was still described as a girl with poor character. Golden hair but coal brain. Tattooed knowledge. The girl who got admission because of her father. But in reality she was a fatherless child.
She had many friends who wanted to be-friend with Rayna because of the popularity she had. When she did good in the class she was praised and when she failed to answer any questions she was criticised for her hair and tatoos.
Days passed ..
the tattooed girl who was a regular student started missing classes. As she was a first bencher teachers enquired about the girl with golden hair but no one really cared about her much. Once in a blue moon she attended a few classes.The sparkling jet black eyes seemed to have had lost its sparkle. The smile was just an arc with no charm. The hair she was famous for, had lost the shine and lustrour and faded color. Even her eyelashes and eyebrows were left with lesser hair now. The brown hair across her face had now curled and become half of its original length. Stitches could be seen on her scalp beneath the hair.
Her skin had wrinkled, bones showed. She seemed much thinner than when they last saw her. Yet had that smile, as always.
That was the last time the golden hair girl saw daylight.
After 2 months a letter slid under miss shayna's door. A black letter.
Rayna was on chemo. Chemotherapy drugs are so powerful medications that attacks rapidly growing cancer cells. Unfortunately, these drugs also attack other growing cells in body — including those in the hair roots. Permanent markings, sometimes referred to as tattoos, were made on her body to map out radiation treatment. She had leukima and she knew it. She knew it from days before she had failed in the test. The blood test. The leukemia cells continued to grow and divide, eventually crowding out the normal blood cells. The end result was that it became difficult for her body to fight infections, control bleeding, and transport oxygen. There was this long list of wishes she wanted to do before she dies.
The first wish was to join highschool and enjoy her teen years. She had this die hard wish to color her hair and she did it. Not once but twice. To hide the scars of radiation therapy she tattooed her skin. The letter 's' meant 'surviver'. She was a proud surviver. No one except her family knew about her health. 'People see what you want them to see' . She made each day count while other's were counting their day. Rayna wanted to dance her heart out on her brother's wedding. But she couldn't. Her cancerous cells had trapped her body. She was under the thumb of it.
Today the five elements are being released from her body. Are you wondering how do i know so well about her?
I am her diary. She inked her life in me while life was getting tougher.

When you lecture someone
About being wrong,
For one minute, hold on and ask
Can you bear to be in their shoes for a moment?
If yes , give it a TRY!
If not, do question your philosophy once .

Era of errors
"live by the sword,
Die by the sword",
In a world of cunning gunslingers,
And clean cutting butter knives,
Making wishes on ricocheting bullets,
Seeking safety in shells,
This world,
Clams us,
Like fools gold,
It delivers us onto a pirate's hand,
We are dues of religion,
Isolated praying legions,
Congregations of felons,
Disbeliefs and crimes of faith,
Praying to gods, preying on our faith.
Era of errors,
Endeavors to erase these errors of our Era,
Live by the sword,
Die by the pen!

Darling, crawl out the window
When sleep devours my body,
Go back to your shelter
Where warmth meets your skin
From years of winter holding me,
Go back where your eyes
Will see the light again,
Where our hands would
Untangle themselves to freefall,
Go back to where your heart once find a home,
Go back to the life where us
Just meant you and a stranger.
R.T.Detera.

Women are not numbers
We are not only 5,15 or 50 years old,
We are not one mother of three,
One daughter of poor parents,
We are not one half of a man,
We are not one side of a ratio,
We are not five rapes in one day in one country,
When you write about women and rape,
Write about the fear that cannot be quantified,
Write about the pain that cannot be measured,
Write about the salty tears,and pools of blood, that nobody counts
Write about the pitch of each scream,
Write about the desperation in each plea,
Write about the clawing hands,the thrashing legs,
Write about the will to live leave a women's eye,
Write about the kind of monstrosity it must take to defeat a warm beating heart,
Write about these things so that women cannot be reduced to numbers,
So that when one looks at a women and thinks about touching her
She doesn't seem like cold facts,
She doesn't seem like something you can alter, edit, subtract, divide as per your will,
When you write about rape, write about the women like you would write about yourself,
So that you remember that when numbers can be manipulated,
Then why can't a women.

I know...
I know I am quite simple when compared with the extraordinary,
I know I can't things they do,
I know I made many mistakes,
I know that the ways I chose to reach my targets are poor,
I know that I've disappointed my parents many a times,
I know I lead an indecent life with unwanted straps and commitments,
I know I may look bad to you,
But the one thing that keeps me going is,
I accept myself more than anyone in the world,
If this is how it will be,
And if this is how it is gonna be,
I am ready to face the world the way it is!

He:"Don't cry."
She:"I'm a loser.I'm such a useless person."
He:"But according to her, crying is not the solution of everything."
She:"According to whom?"
He:"The older you..."
-She finally smiled through her tear & he tightly hugged the stronger her.
