Family Dosa

Had taken the kids out for a treat. As usual their choice of cuisine popped up. One wanted noodles while the other wanted a chole bature. It was as they squabbled I realized that this had become a routine affair. We went out, ordered food based on individual choices. Sometimes we finished the laid out food, on some occassions have got them packed only to be left in the refrigerator or have left them right there thoroughly  embarrassed to have gone overboard.

I decided to put a stop to th...

Dear Daughter

You are still a little girl
But soon you will grow.
There are lots I need to tell you
And lots you should know.
Remember you are special
And will always be.
Though now you are my daughter
Soon you'll be a friend to me.
Life is not easy
But its not difficult too..
I am sure you will succeed
If you remain as "You".
Success does not always  mean
Riches, parties or fleet of cars.
In fact, it is the wealth of smiles
You gather during happy hours.
Success has no meaning
If no true friends are by your side,
If...

Remember Nora

     Remember Nora? Well...thought of meeting her after a gap of two years. Had heard a lot from others. Was told how she was a courageous woman, taking everything in her stride and moving on..Had learnt she was admired for the way she behaved. I had almost etched a picture of hers in my mind. 
Met her. Found her to be fitting the descriptions I had heard. Felt good...in fact...lighter in my heart. Thanked God for the status quo. And then...without giving a second thought,...

Conversations: Love in Hatred

"Hi sweetheart."
"What are you doing here???? you scared the daylights out of me!!!!"
"Sorry...I just came to say I love you."
"But I hate you."
"I love you."
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you."
"Why honey?"
"I hate you because now I have to pay the bills and take care of finances. I hate you for forcing me to drive on highways and getting me to wash the car. For doing the rewiring in the house, repairing the taps. For letting me sit through whitewashes and distempering. I could go on and on and o...

The News

   Commander Phoenix looked out of the tinted window in his office. He could see the leaves of all visible trees drooping. He glanced at the clock. It was exactly twelve 'o' clock.
   'Good that the weather is so sultry and humid. No wonder then that people have stuck to their offices,' he mused.
   Pleasing Commander Phoenix was a tough job. He was a hard task master and had a no nonsense approach. But that afternoon he was a happy man. Before he could mull o...

Realization

   It has been more than a month since I last blogged. Thankfully it was not a case of 'Writer's Block'. Besides the mundane hassles of shifting and re-shifting I truly felt more like a robot on the move. To add to this were painful blasts from the Past. I had to break free hence  took to modern day fasting- no Whatsapp, no facebook, no blogging, no internet. I thought it will not work, but it really did wonders. And how did it help....well...that is the crux of the matter.

Finally...

Finally...
Am leaving my base
For a new beginning
In a new place.
Finally...
I am taking with me
No baggages
But memories...
Memories...
Bitter and sweet.
Pleasure and pain
And agonies.
Have been through hell
Now I want some peace.
I need to live
So let me be.
Finally...
I have my space
A new beginning
A new place.
Finally...
I am taking with me
No baggages
But memories.
Life was a tangle
I had to break free.
I was suffocated
I wasn't me.
I had to change
I couldn't go on
I had enough
I had to move on.
Finally....
With a s...

Epilogue

   
      I sincerely believe that throughout life, you meet one person unlike any other. To that person you can tell anything to, you could be with them forever and never get bored, and you could tell them things that won't judge you for. This person is your soul mate, never let him go. I found my soul mate and my best friend in what started with hatred followed by love relationship.

     And so ends a chapter in my life. Love happened and here I shared...
