God has his own ways



As a kid I was often asked
How a line could become smaller without a touch
“Just draw a longer line”, they told me
That’s it! It didn’t need too much.

God has his ways
Of saying the same old things
He loves giving practical lessons
To his supposedly favorite beings

As if being without dad wasn’t enough
And perhaps He couldn’t quite understand what I prayed
Now mummy leaves us for her eternal journey
I hate these rules that God has made

Though I am sure you are now at a much better place
Relieved now from the pain that you went through,
I can’t find a way to accept that you have left
I can’t find a way to live without you

You were the first friend I ever made
Always my backup when I had noone else to play
You were my teacher, my listener, my brother, my sister
You were the only one who always knew what I really wanted to say

I would try not to cry as I miss you
Though you and what you taught me would be with me for good
I would care, I would share, would forget and forgive
I would do as i expect, and wouldn't try too hard to be understood.

May you rest in peace mummy Far away from the lesser mortals
All I wish for is one last hug from you
Just say a few last words and then bless me with your hand
God I know you need her but I needed her too...

The Child Inside You Must Always Remain Alive

Imagine yourself at your formal best in a board room. Soon after, you attend a friend's birthday party at a hip restaurant. Just as you guys think about calling it a day, the rain Gods make their presence felt. What do you do??? Do you take the parking lot as a large public bathroom, and make full use of the water supply. Or do you stand under a shed, and look at the other category of people and think "Oh! Probably they haven't taken a shower for weeks!!" Well... I belong to the former category, The child inside me is still alive!!! :) When a child in class 2 returns home, he is so very excited... "Hurray!!! i am home!!!!!" and so are the kid's parents। The other day I was at my friend's place when his elder brother, who is the HR Head of a software firm, came back home from work। He entered with a sigh, didn't even bother to say Hi, and I thought I heard my friend's mom cry.... Oh Hez Home again...Why!!! Well...all I am talking about...

One Fine Day...

Someday you just feel like standing out of yourself. Just watch yourself as the world does. Where are you? What is it that the world thinks you are? And most importantly, who are you for yourself. So what is it that you really are? And what makes you what you are. Is it the choices that you make? Or is it but a function of choices made by those around? Or is it neither? Do your choices, your decisions, your actions actually make a difference? Is free will for real? Is it really you who makes those choices, who takes those decisions. Or are these governed by this 4 letter f word. I mean fate. Is it fate that rules? Have you been planted somewhere for a plan to implement itself gradually. Coz they say everyone’s existence has a purpose. Or have you merely been sent to make plans and create a purpose for your life? Are there billions of other co-existing plans that keep colliding with and gelling into each other? As tightly knit as the clock’s gears. Or is it just The Plan that...

The Cup's ours... and the Saucer??

Wow!!! What a Week!!! Rather what a fabulous month and a half. And there couldn't have been a better finish to this festival for a country which is united by one religion despite different beliefs. Yes it is the cricket World Cup 2011 that I am talking about. And yours truly is one of those lunatics who fast (read forget everything except one) even on Baisakhi, this one was like an extra extended Navaratri, so one can easily imagine the extent of my excitement during this month and a half, and the magnitude of joy when India won!!! Yes, India finally did manage to get the cup home after a wait of 28 long years. Here are snippets from a few News items I read recently. Surprisingly these are related to the World Cup but don't talk about Cricket. "Just before the Feb 19-April 2 tournament reached the halfway mark, the government issued an alert on Wednesday over a possible attack on the tournament being played in 13 venues across India, Sri Lanka and Ban...
