VELAS REVISITED...!!

This one is for only those special ones...Reliving those beautiful moments shared with you....!!

A journey which was to give 48 hours of complete life,
A little hustle bustle at the onset was not a lot of strife
The stess melted on the tongue with a yummy five star,
"Gabbar Gabbar, where's my gift ?" were voices reaching near and far

The chill, the thrill, the breeze had driven the sleep away,
Though eager we were for the destination, but content on the way!
Call him 'T2' or call him 'Drunk', we discussed for a while
His existence threatened, for people fought over amphibian or reptile..!

We found our way back, accompanied with music from hens,
Surprising it was, among us, they found long lost frenz..!! ;)
The fort stood tall and silent, in all its past glory,
The winds did the talking, telling us its proud story...

For that 'bhindi' and 'aam ki chutney', one can renounce the earth,
That food was 'salvation', beyond life and birth.
Each footprint ahead and each footprint that we left behind,
Were not just marks on the sand, but memories imprinted forever on my mind.

The sun kept watching, we played all eve with mirth and glee,
Then we kept watching, as the sun went down in the lap of  the sea.
Saw 'T2' on the screen, we were drenched and dripping,
the torch light showed us way, reached backed tossing and tipping..

Sky was clear, constellations shining bright,
Stars and the sea together, it was a beautiful night !
Took away the pain , it lightened our hearts,
The sea washed it all, it meant a fresh new start...

T1 to T14, it was indeed a lucky sight,
Early to bed and early to rise was hence proved right..!
Short though it was, we enjoyed the ferry ride,
Making memories together, walking side by side.!

Joined hands in devotion, prayed for those loved by us,
With Mango Dollies in our hands, we sat in the bus.
Govinda, Sunil and Mithun were the ones to top the list,
Other passengers 'too happy' were clenching their fists..;)

It was coming to an end, I asked time to stand still,
But we had to part ways, for sure against our will !
These words by far, are too small to measure those days,
Its just an effort, those moments gone, and I WISH TO CHASE..!!

Becoming a demanding reader !

I started reading as a casual reader, more so driven by the perception of reading rather than actually being driven by the need to read. I started with fiction, gradually drifted to non-fiction but never really had a sense of direction about what to read and hence largely dependent on reviews from co-readers to arrive at my next book. However I have lately started thinking about reading for understanding the world better, for creating my mental models of decision making, to enable choices and to understand concepts I think are far more complex than I can process. And in the process, make effort to remember what I read and also hone my abysmal writing skills.  Hence this is an introductory post of my first book review, to summarize my learning and understanding of the last book I read - Made in America by Sam Walton. Deriving inspiration from an article I read on Farnam Street , I will structure my reviews around the following questions and continue improvising as I go along. ...

Ranting about this book that I read

 Book Review ! This is not so much a book review as much a record of how this book made me feel ! I came to fiction after a long time and wandered and got lost in the lanes of this beautiful island finding love and peace in a warm sunny weather by the sea ! That's the wonder of fiction that even though you know its fictional, nothing ever comes as close to being real and relatable as stories like these. The moment when Linus found out about Arthur and was torn between not knowing whether to trust DICOMY or Arthur was when chills ran down my spine because I know that feeling, a little too much to my liking. Few books and just a few books, after being read create that void which is difficult to fill and sets you looking for something else, some other voice, some other words that can fill this void and this one was for sure among those few ! Lines that blew my mind away and are going to stay with me are.. "Arthur's smile, that quiet beautiful smile that felt like seeing the o...

There is molding yet to be done

I mostly resort to poetry for expression...attempting prose this time... Speaking to my five years younger self... You are fresh out of college with a lot of education, many degrees, some disposable money in your hands and a whole gamut of options of what you can do and who you can become. The most important thing to know is that there is still a whole lot of you left to become who you want to become. It might appear that you have already shaped yourself and have become who you could (may be not who you should) and that the mold has already taken form. But this I want to tell you is a lie. This is the time you will become who you will be for the rest of your long life.  It will be easy to get accustomed to comfort and laziness. It will be natural to adopt the ways of people around you. It will be easy to drift in accepting who you are. But what comes easy is not what's worth having. Accept the fact that if you get your self worth from hard work, thought and labor, then...
