Life, As we call it

Once you are born Into this big, big world
You enter a confusing maze-
Something you need to figure out
Life, as we call it

Once upon a time
You are just a child
The next minute, an adult
With a big responsibility at hand –
Life, as we call it

One day you are free
Like a bird flying high
The next day you are pulled down
Further into complexities –
Life, as we call it

One minute you are so sure
Of what to expect next
The next minute you are thrusted
Back to square one –
Life, as we call it

One minute you are happy
Of all the wonders around you
The next minute you are pushed back
To reality that might be nasty –
Life, as we call it

Life, as we call it
Might be unfair at most times

Somehow that is what makes it exciting
Giving us the power to deal with,

Life, as we call it

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. Looking at 2 feet tall kids running around, it makes me feel so old and it got me thinking - when was the last time I was so carefree and all I had to worry about in life was "When do I get to go to the park the next day?" 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...

Old is gold

It was about 17 and half years back, I get into a classroom filled with brats like me. I look for a friendly face but all of them are huddled in their own group. Being the new kid in the block I was sent to school all by myself. I was thrilled, of course. But small moments like not being able to see even one kid who would come up to me and introduce me to his/her friends pulled me right back to reality. Uthpala ma’am introduced to the class and finally there were a few smiles directed towards me. I still remember distinctly, how this particular girl looked at me with her rolly round eyes and flashed me a big grin. Her two pony tails were bouncing behind her ears. This is when I decided to add another special person in my life other than my little brother (parents go without saying!) – Sriya Gopalakrishnan. Although not in the same class we became the best of buddies and so did our mothers. We moved into the next building of Chinmaya further down Harrington Road we landed in the same se...
