At the Stroke of Midnight, As the twelfth chime rang, I was blinded by the sparkling light, As my family huddled ’round, like a top-secret gang,
Lay rotting away, the wreaths on the doors, A day to end all pain, misery and strife, It was the moment, everyone had been waiting for, The thick tension was palpable; could be cut with a knife,
It was a day to forget, The mistakes of the past, To let go of all sorrows, sins and regrets, The die had finally been cast,
All waited with bated breath, Everything paused, flying birds, rustling leaves, not to mention, man, Everything paused, moving clouds, flowing water, not to mention, death, As The Countdown finally began,
10, The numbers flashed on the clock, 9, Stuck between a hard place and a rock, 8, Glancing up at the sky, 7, Everyone as if petrify’, 6, Caught breath, suppressed sighs, controlled gasps, 5, Accounting for the calendar’s gaps, 4, Having run out of patience, 3, Adults no longer calm, Children no longer vivacious, 2, Waiting for the year to finally be over, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As an Avid Blogger, I, Anvi Tuteja, am elated to present my blogsite – Anvi’s Thoughts Caught – as an amalgamation of my literary enterprise, poetic endeavours, day-to-day blogs, and other creative interests.
Here is a bit about me: https://anvituteja.com/about-me/
Anvi Tuteja is a master mischief maker, secretly plotting world domination from her imaginary window seat in Gurgaon, India. She’s an aspirant philosopher, first-time author and a die-hard Potter Head. She sidelines as an Oracle of Prophesies, blogger at WordPress and her family’s self-appointed movie buff.
Anvi has been reading and writing since she was three years old. For her, poetry is a coping mechanism, and in her words – one that doesn’t judge, doesn’t lie and doesn’t make you feel like you’re wrong for simply being the way you are.
Anvi Tuteja is a bundle of contradictions – she reads, but binge-watches anything Marvel; she doesn’t have a social media presence, but she writes a secret diary; and she is a walking Shakespeare encyclopedia, but also a constant music streamer.
In all her work, from her regular posts at her blogsite – http://www.anvituteja.com to her TEDx talk about New Emerging Technologies – Anvi Tuteja does it all with heart, impatience and love.
