There I go again!

I did write about my hibernation period…the delicious feeling…of doing absolutely nothing…looking back I realise that the sense of doing nothing actually had a lot of other things built into it…

Some thoughts that come to mind when I think back…

Not working
At home
Not doing much
Just lazing around

Watching the world go by
Through the window of my home

Picking up a book to read
And falling asleep
Waking up to hear the voice
I’d been hearing in my dream!

Life has kind of slowed down now
The colours in sharper relief
With the smaller moments
Coming more to the fore

With the larger moments
Getting magnified some more!

Looking back it feels like
A dream I lived in
With reality coming
Slowly creeping in

Life with all its colours and hues
Right here for me, right now
Asking me to come in again
Be a part of it again!

Watching the world go by now
Liking the way it looks

Falling in love with life again
Loving its colours and hues…

Almost a year

There is this strong independent woman inside me, who sometimes feels it to be unreal. I have a full life, contributing to the society, doing my own bit. Can drive, cook, do basic first aid, can manage finances (reasonably well)...how is it that with all these positives, the only thought that is always always overriding all this is how much I miss the man.  The other half, the one with whom my thoughts and sentences were complete. Who made me laugh, who understood and noticed small details that would fool everyone else.    The man did love the winter light     Jotting down a list of things (in no particular order), that I miss about him - His hands - the man had the most beautiful hands that I have seen till date. Long artistic fingers that bore truth to his love for working with them - be it the sourdoughs that he learnt via YouTube or his leather work or the ferments or the photography or the hand-crafted diaries or his cooking. - That broken tooth in the fron...

Do you believe?

One of those days, when there was nothing much to do…or maybe there was and I just didn’t feel like it… An extended coffee break with colleagues went into interesting areas of conversation…interesting to some…controversial to some…beliefs and principles…. A colleague had just come back from the Transport Office where she had gone for a learner’s test…as she had been in the U.S. inevitable comparisons were made between the US and the Indian system… The red-tapism (a very Indian phrase mind you!) just gets to some people…but then there are believers like me…who believe that we can make it happen…we can make this system work…it just needs our time and some patience… I admit entering any government office earlier would make you feel like that you have entered a claustrophobic cubbyhole...yes I do emphasis it as a thing of the past…coz things are changing…maybe not with supersonic speed…but they definitely are… There are offices where the employees smile at you and wish you a cheerful good...

the road a dumpster???

Driving along on a pleasant evening Looking out at an empty road A rare sight, not often seen! Out comes flying a bottle into my vision Looking around for a spaceship All I detect is a Lancer! To people in the car I venture to ask The originator of the rubbish And set them to task Unrepentant, incomprehensible looks I get greeted with! Utter silence I am left with! Then I watch another scenario unfold! The driver’s side window Comes swooshing down An apology is what I am all set for! I see rubbish flying out again The road before…the divider then!
