New Role ...

A new role to play .....
An offer I couldn't refuse ....
So am off to learn the ropes anew ...
Be a new self ...
A different Avatar ...
Late but not so late in life ...
Follow my imagination ...
Be myself for once ...
Be a different me at last ....
Do things differently ...
A new adventure ...
A new thrill ...
A new high ... no drug can give ....
I am here at last ....
The best mastermind to solve unsolved cases ...
What say Watson?....
Elementary after all.

Taylor Swift - Back To December

Storms ...

I am not afraid of storms ..
I am still learning to sail my ship ...
I am not afraid of pitfalls ..
I am still groping in darkness ...
I am not afraid of speed ...
I am still learning to drive ...
I am not afraid ....
Not afraid at all ...
I am not afraid of death ...
I am still learning to live.

I remember only 9th September ...

I remember only 9th September ...
Coz' that IS a special day .....
And, was a special day for her always...
The rest of the days had faded in the memory ....
Thanks for reminding ...
20th October .... Her Ram was born ....
She adored him , worshipped him ....
Doted over him .... He was her Krishna ...
Remember the parachute coming out on special occasions ...
Remember him eating the laddoos in the Temple ...
At Jaisalmer ... while everyone was engrossed in the Aarti ...
Chota Brigadier Sahib ... taking rounds of the lines ...
On Satinder's back or on his cycle ....
His camel 'Dulhan'.....
Playing in the dunes of the Golden city .....
Every memory ... like a movie reel whirring in front of the eyes ...
The beetles he caught ...
The goat he sat upon ....
The way he rearranged your office ....
Every memory as fresh as just happened ....
His Brigadier's Uniform ... still preserved ...
I haven't forgotten ...
Just a lapse in memory due to numbness of senses ...
Humans! We humans suffer from our tragedies ...
Then the daily grind of life beckons ...
Still tried giving them the best ...
Taught them Golf ...
That's another story ...
Other people got hurt with the shots.....
They are the best Swimmers...
They are the best Cyclists... 18 gear cycle ...
Infact, Anusuya is a wonder unfolding each day despite her special needs ...
She is one of the best swimmers, basketball is very dear to her,
She plays cricket and football...
Like Dravid... she is The Wall ....
The best defence any team can get....
A stand up comedienne ...
A great artist in the making ....
Art and design being her favourite subject ....
An Environmentalist to the core ...
And, the best friend anyone can get....
The boy is a boy wonder ...
A genius to the core ....
Known as Junior Professor in his Degree College ...
Overburdened with projects and responsibilities ....
But, the best genes in him are a living proof in the personality and his Charisma ...
A computing wizard.....
An excellent Orator ...
A Mass Media student ...
He is a hit with the crowds ...
Watch the links I sent on your FB message...
Life goes on ....
They are the gems that are shining ....
The glory of two different genes ...
The best combination genetically ...

Remind me .... you have a better memory ...
And, I shall pen down every moment .....
So that generations to come shall relive the moments ...
We lived ...
A fitting tribute to the Elders ...
Dear and departed ....
And still around.

Empty pocket ....

Life is like a camera ...

Life is full of years that sometimes mean nothing and moments that mean everything....

Yes, Life is full of years that sometimes mean nothing and moments that mean everything.... Reliving those moments in those years ... Forty two springs ... Forty two monsoons .... waiting for the forty second winter too ......

Times to remember  .... that left an indelible mark on the soul with an ink that can not be erased ... nor does it get smudged with the passage of time .... some memories, moments , relations that cannot be overwritten too.

Some beautiful moments ... some irresponsible moments that one felt at that moment were right ... Mistakes .. irrevocable mistakes ... lessons learnt over the period of time ... Time is the best healer ... but; people left behind .... and now we are just too far apart ... miles and miles of chasm that can't be filled ever ... nor a bridge that can be built now ... too late.

I dunno why am in a retro mood but music in the background is retro too ... maybe that is making me remember the past .. a beautiful legacy for the kids .... some beautiful moments to be written about and left behind for the future generations.

Am waiting to be a Grandmom ... so that I can feel the happiness of my genes passed on ... for living forever through my Grandchildren. That's how Grandparents feel ... total recall and happiness.

When ...

When you truly care for someone, their mistakes never change your feelings because it's the mind that gets angry but the heart still cares.
