Two halves that made a whole

Never did I think,

I would find someone like the man.

Who would have thunk?

That he would ground me...

And make me fly at the same time?

A friendship that just deepened,

And felt right from day one.

The soul mate I was not even looking for...

And who, with his smile with that broken tooth,

Would leave me feeling weak kneed.

Who would have thunk?

That two people so averse to commitment...

Would fall in love with the word 'forever'?

The forever though was not to be.

Just shy of 20 years and...

I am starting life anew.

With conversations with you in my head, my sweetheart.

And support from our friends.

There will come a time when,

I will laugh and not feel sad right after.

Just not today.

Us on our 18th anniversary

Sharing a link to the song which I would sing ALL THE TIME with him. It took me about 6 years to find the actual song to share with him. He refused to believe that it was an actual song :) Thought that I had made it up!

The song I would sing ALL the time - 'I'm so happy to be stuck with you'

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!
