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!

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 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.
