When..



When you cry the first time
You lost your favorite pencil box
Dad would be right next to your bed
Consoling you, making you feel better than ever

When you get straight A’s
In your 2nd grade report card
Grandma would be waiting right at the doorstep
Waiting to give the biggest hug ever

When you fall off the bicycle
While learning how to ride it
Mamma would rush to you to embrace you
Making sure you don’t feel the pain

When you feel like having your favorite candy
After a hard day at school
Gramps would run to get them
Making you feel like a little princess

When you have had the worst day ever
And you need someone to just listen to you
Your BFF would call you
Asking you if everything was okay

Now, here I am
With none of these people around me
Alone I stand
With the deepest fears inside of me

Still searching for substitutes
But deep inside I know
No one could ever replace them
For I love them the most

The playground theory

As part of a fitness routine, my husband and I have started going for regular walks. Bangalore, famous for its 'parks', has a small one just about a kilometre away from my place. We go around the park several times hoping the weighing scale shows some mercy on us and we have thankfully been successful so far. This gives me the time to think about life, how time has passed by in a hurry and how things have changed in so little time.

To come to think of it, kids during their playtime can actually teach you a lot and so can monkey bars and slides! Here are some instances that got me thinking: The oh-so-tall slide - Kids are hell scared to get on top of the slide and are terrified that they might tumble down. But when its quite successful the fi...

As I..

As I sit by the shore I can feel the breeze Hitting my face Sweeping away with it My inner most fears. As it starts to pour I feel I could freeze My limbs go stiff Though I feel at peace. As I walk through the lonely roads The leaves stick to my skin Giving me a feeling That I am the only one. As I sit in my verandah Staring at the sky through the trees While listening to the almost extinct sparrows Chirping a sad symphony. As I take a stroll in my terrace Watching the moon-lit sky The stars shining like the diamond That makes me wonder more What goes beyond this life.
