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..!!

A book that never leaves you…

The magic and misery that these books are...they consume you, churn you, reform you and make you a different person. One of such books is ‘When breath becomes Air’ by the late Dr. Paul Kalanithi. Books become special and precious when you can associate with them, when they bring alive your story or the story of a loved one. In the initial days, for me, it was a journey of courage to pick up this book and take a plunge into the corridors of hospitals and cases of brain tumors. Every disease is sacred, every case an emotion and every death a scar. I never imagined myself reading a book dealing with brain diseases and hospitals after my abysmal performance post watching movies and videos of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s patients. This was a whole new escalation. It was brain tumors and cancers. On each page, this book evokes different emotions - sometimes it made me weak and want to collapse and cry sometimes determined to live a life of meaning. I gathered courage, each page wa...

Preserve my core

Some ordinary moments jolt us from inside and leave lessons behind. One such lesson is here... On the lunch table, I was feeling jittery, irritated and trapped, Angry yet dull, my energy was sapped I wondered why, time was not passing by It then dawned on me, I had caused the melancholy You showed off, acted all too wise Your unsolicited judgement, I despise I let myself argue, to beat your pride The ripples created, crushed me inside I damaged myself more than you, because I now realize, I became like you I must learn the art, to avoid and ignore Detach from the pompous, preserve my core
