What's on my mind today..!!

For this is what Yamuna named her and this was the only word that we exchanged apart from the word 'yamuna'. It is strange how two strangers connect in a bond so special, that even before they part, they feel the force causing a stir within..! In the past two months, the only source of exchange with her (mamma) has been through Yamuna and yet I am awed by her capacity to Love and Give. She is an important experience that happened to me here, she is a lesson to take. Let us know her better. She is around 65 years of age or may be more usually draped in a Red and Yellow Saari and mostly accompanied with that heartfelt smile, which you know can only make your gloomy day fine or a tiring day at office refreshing. She doesn’t know that the world exists beyond Chennai, and any other language beyond Tamil. She has never seen people who do not speak Tamil, and thinks they don’t belong to India. For all my inability to communicate with her, she knows that I am a 3 times clas...

The feeling after reading a book...a story that consumed you for the last few days, its so strange that it cannot be put it into words. That air that moves in the hollow of the stomach is so new..sometimes bringing ecstacy sometimes just pain. I just finished Mockingjay by Suzzane Collins...not just am I in love with her writing but I have equally strong emotions for each of her characters. I wonder how is it possible to evoke such feelings from the reader inspite of the fact that I know they are virtual people. How unknowingly does it happen that I start associating myself with those characters in the story and sometimes map them to the people around me..I wonder how these worlds tranform into each other throwing me back and forth between reality and virtuality....!! Its a feeling of evading the reality, living in those unreal worlds, yet facing those same questions that you evade... The depth of emotions, the brutality of the choices to be made, the struggle to find reason b...

You are losing that what you were proud of, Your magnanimity, this envy will dwarf This unrest fills you with shame, How can you lose faith ? You know its a long game... You make you own destiny, revel in work hard, Be kind to others, hold yourself in high regard. You restore that tranquility or your identity you loose, In this battle with self, you will be what you choose..!!

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', beyo...

I sometimes sit and wonder at the wonders of this life, At one moment its so simple, at the other a strife At one moment it comes before you in all its simplicity, At the other you will sit perplexed by its complexity At one moment it makes you so happy, you sit on cloud nine, At the other all it leaves you is to whine..!! At one moment it will bestow upon you all its colors bright, At the other its all black and you pity at your plight..!! At one moment it makes you feel one with the universe, At the other you are so lonely , its like a curse. At one moment it shows you just the right path to follow, At the other its dark and all you feel is hollow. At one moment it makes you certain of you today and tomorrow, At the other you wonder whether yesterday had happiness or sorrow. It keeps tossing you from this to that side, At one moment its an arrogant master, at the other a humble guide..!!
