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..!!

Ode to Chennai

Dear Chennai, As we part ways I wish to tell you that you are special to me. I know people from my part of the world won't understand, but its between you and me and the bond we share...  All I want to say to you is... As I landed here a year back, you opened your heart to me, You never demanded allegiance, you earned it from me With your soothing sea breeze and mesmerizing sunrise, I cocooned into your warmth, each day grew wise You were relentless at times, with blazing sun in the sky, But you were teaching me patience, so I now know why You got back on your feet, when nature struck you hard, With magnanimity and strength, you rejoined each shard I deserved all on my plate, you only served me sweet, Your Rajini craze and Murugan Idly, no city in the world can beat Not a single day that I spent with you, do I regret I always am, and will always be glad that we met.

As we Part...!

This is all the courage I could gather to put down the avalanche of memories and thoughts rushing to my mind at the rate of 1Gigabytes per second..This is to the place which made or unmade me...K Forever! Living in the fear of having to go separate ways brings pain All my efforts to hold back and let go have gone in vain Every passing moment brings conflict and choices One last time is all I can hear among all the voices! Lost in the sea of where to be and what to be Everything shall pass and yet I want to hold on to thee! I shall never return and this is where we part But to thee I promise, we carry a piece of each other’s heart!

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. ...
