THE MIRACLE MAKER SAYS

Dreams, according to psychology and psychiatry an imbalance in the brain that projects the subconscious mind or feelings when we are sleep. Philosophers call it the motive of life. Spiritual Gurus call it signs from God. As for me, my definition cannot fit the words so I won’t even try it. Over the years, life has become too much of a competition rather than an experience. I am not against it. I love competition myself. For all those saying, just enjoy the experience and do not run in the rat race, well for those I would say, it’s a rate race when you do not have an ambition or goal, for the ones who ambitions and goals it is the only thing they will live for. This ambition or goal becomes their meditation, their peace and their life path. They are defined by it. “It is a pathetic feeling when anyone around you does not understand your dreams and do not even relate to them. All they do is either discourage you or laugh at you.”   She was very angry, my friend. Looking at her ...

After a tiring day at work and some burying of memories I was about to sleep, when I got a call on my phone. I answered the phone. “Mr. Kunal Patrawala?” asked the man on the other side. “Yes” I replied. “My client would want to meet you in person. I am waiting with the car below your apartment. If you could be kind enough to come with me my client would be happy.” He said. “What is this about?” I asked. “It has been brought to my client’s notice that you are a very good counselor and he has some issues which he wants to discuss with you. He is badly in need of you.” It was around 11. P.M in the night, I was a little hesitant to go. “It’s too late. Would it be fine if I meet your client tomorrow in the day time?” I asked. “I am afraid that won’t be possible. He has to leave tomorrow. He has just got tonight to talk to you.”  “I do not handle clients at this late hour. If your client cannot meet me tomorrow then I guess he may have to meet up some other counselor where ever he i...

With Valentine’s Day across the corner, the ‘love is in the air’ feeling is common around these days. I was sitting at a coffee shop having my favourite coffee and reading people.   Yes for a change sometimes it is fun to read people. We get to learn a lot from such observations. Being a writer, stand-up comedian and a counselor I often get a lot of matter. I was reading couples. A coffee shop sees more proposals, break ups, hook ups and tears of joy and sorrows when it comes to love affairs. Today along with the coffee shop even I was a witness to some such affairs. My phone started to disturb my thoughts. I have to reluctantly keep the mobile phone me at all times. Business is another priority of life, you cannot ignore it. I looked at the screen; it was flashing the name of a friend, one who had long lost in time. We stayed in the same town, yet we had not seen each other since many years. I received the call. “Hi, is this Kunal.” He asked. “Yes.” I replied. After exchangin...

The Spectacle Theory Since the past few months I have been on a roller coaster ride in my own life. Even though, I have always faced and handled complexities in life with a lot of maturity and peace of mind, this time it was a massive blow from life. However, every human has to face life alone and every human has the ability to transform himself or herself into a better person. Hope, Love and total faith in one’s dreams can make miracles happen. I had stopped taking counseling cases, also had taken a break from writing, I was introspecting and improving my own inner strength and confidence. In this time friends do play a very important role, I was at a friend’s place when this incident took place. It was something so simple yet so amazing that I could not resist writing it. I was with my friend, standing in the balcony of his bungalow. We were just chit chatting with each other about normal stuff. “Kunal seriously man I am so tensed about my future. I just don’t know how things...

“I wanna romance all your moods and blend with you in a manner that I do exist as me but I still be yours and I still be you.” He said. She smiled and looked at him. Her gaze was on the evening sun. The moment he said these words she found the setting sun a little more beautiful. She felt like this moment should pause here and she should always be in his arms and just give him all the love she feels for him. She hugged him and softly said, “You are a poet, a writer, you are good with words, you are good at expressing your feelings, I am bad at it so all I can do is hug you and make you feel all the love I have for you. Sometimes I feel bad about that why can’t I express my feelings in words to you.” She said while hugging him even tighter. “Well for me it’s a win-win situation. The less you use words the more you hug. So I am enjoying this” He said this with laughter. “All men are the same.” She hit him playfully while saying this and jumped into laughter with him. She then look...

The rain drops caress my cheeks they remind me of your lips on my face, The wind going through my hair makes me feel your fingers in my hair. My darling standing here in the first embrace of rains I feel your hug around me. The fragrance of the wet soil reminds me of your fragrance, The colors of rains remind of your beautiful eyes. The darkness of the clouds reminds of your hair. I could be good with words I know, But you mesmerize me in a manner so, That I forget my vocabulary all together, A beauty like you I have seen never. It seems God created a master piece in you, It seems even he is in love with you. What can a mere poet like me describe about your beauty, I can only sit by and adore your perfections duly. The rains make me even more eager to hug you in my arms, I want to fall in love everyday with all your charms. Baby merely saying I love you may not be enough today, I want to love you and make you feel it each and every way....

They were sitting at a secluded and silent place together. She was holding his palm in her palm. She was caressing his fingers. He was feeling intoxicated by her gestures. He had never felt such love ever in his life. Her eyes were stuck on his face; he was smiling away in glory looking at her. She had a glow on her face, looking at that smile of his. “I love you the most in the whole world. You are my miracle. You are that reward that God granted me for all the hardships I have faced in life.” He said. She held his palm even tighter and kissed it. She then hugged him and kissed his cheeks. She could literally feel his breath on her face. It was sheer blissful and heavenly for her. After all even she was deeply and madly in love with him. He hugged her and kissed her forehead. They looked at the sky and felt the breeze caressing their faces but today nothing existed to them. The only thing they could feel today was each other. They sat in silence but their souls spoke, they l...
