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...

2 Laddoos.. So much for the effort!!!

It was lunch as usual when I overheard a conversation between Polo and Upasana about a possible trip to Tirupati. The idea of a trip itself was exciting, irrespective of the destination. I was pretty jobless with no classes at all for a few days. So I interfered in the conversation and passed the message to our broadcasting channel, namely, Miss Shikha Jain. Soon i get a list of interested people, and in a couple of days I booked the railway tickets. "But!" said Naveen, "Takloo (dats my nickname for my last hair style), where are the Darshan Tickets???" I didnt even know we got those tickets from Chennai, and that it was tough to get them. Just a day before we were supposed to leave, we went to the TTD (Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam ) centre only to find that no tickets were available for 7th Feb, the day we had planned to reach the temple. Disappointed, we came back home, and thought about re planning the trip, but Mr. Aanand and Naveen suddenly find out from s...

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...
