Just another day!

A month of feeling off-colour cautions me to go slow and be good to the self.  Life cries hoarse trying to make me realise that I tend to take so much for granted – my well-being, happiness, peace and normalcy!  The speed breaker reminds me of what I need to always remember. Anitya from my Vipassana experience is intensely on my mind! So I get back to trying to focus on the positives.
Winter is receding in Bhubaneswar.  I seem to have developed some sort of attachment to all my warm clothes. The forest behind is ensuring I can hold on to them for a few more days! Until I choose to keep them away, happily J.  
The husband is busy handling some serious issues at work. I can gauge from his hmmms in reply to my queries, that there is much going on in his mind. The daughter is engrossed in her books. This time school books more than the others, with exams on. She only needs me for regular replenishment of hugs more than food.  And so goes my day……

The guy who took the order walked up to me quietly and whispered, ‘’Ma’m, there is a system error for beverages so I have not billed it.’’  I insist on a handwritten addendum to the bill. With food in hand, a hungry stomach and a happy heart we head home. In five minutes we are opening our door. Just as we get down to plating the food, I am in for a shock.  It is an egg sandwich with exactly two pint-sized chicken pieces in the last layer. I lo

If only I knew!

My heart beats As wild as yours In silence we speak The symphony is loud A fleeting moment  Becomes forever We frame memories And live dreams The days go by Now it is years Nothing changes Not you, not me The love we feel Is still as deep We helplessly sigh  And endlessly cry The distress and desire Trigger the pain   I wish I knew Someone else loved me too I see you   I hear you  I love you I wish I knew  Why  d eath chose me
