Urgency

Urgency

We often find ourself a slave to nature's calls....
I am sure that even Hitler must have surrendered to it a million times before jumping off his window... ;)

Old

Feeble walk,
as slow as snail,
grappling for support,
a figure frail...
Hands thin,
almost skeleton shows,
pinch that skin,
slowly crawling back it goes.
Face parched,
neck laden with wattle,
even when stationary,
head constantly wobbles...
Expressions of concern,
eyes awaiting loved ones,
although vision blurred,
mind clearly dreams on...
Memory momentary,
disappears in flash,
living in past glory,
some stories, some laughs...
Each day a bonus,
whole life has passed,
some living it all
others didn't last...



Missing my aaji (grandmother) .....

A marvelous new year's eve....

Eye-lids heavy, drifting vague;
finally anchor, the floating brain...
Dreaming back-in-time, to the new year's eve,
at the bottom of the earth, in the deep blue sea.

Like a mermaid with radiant scales, no gears or flippers,
swimming weightless, amongst coral, vibrant creatures...
Sudden flashes of light, seen from the world above,
at the strike of 12.... fire-crackers blow-on....

They burst into beautiful, wide umbrellas of sparkle,
enlightening the marine-fauna, swaying to the rhythm of wild-waters....
Heart submerged in euphoria, looking up to skies,
thanking 'Him' for delights of nature, from ocean-belly turquoise...

And a beat skips, eyes wide with awe;
seeing immaculate Dolphins, against the glittering backdrop,
their skins shimmer, to the dancing lit ripples,
singing the song of silence, in language of whistles...
Under the liquid roof of the ocean,
anonymous me,
enjoying the miracles of mind's creative notions....





Dedicated to all the gifted people, the wild mad dreamers....

I am truly amazed with the power of mind. I spend all my day time cleaning poo and vomit, taking my 4 month old, Aum to toddler groups, reading parenting books, chatting endlessly about baby probs and more with other mommies.... and then in my dreams, I visit all these fancy places; half of which I don't even remember...

My first post.... drunk!

Well...

Hello (v.nervous... 2 wine glasses down... ),

This is my first post!
I have finally decided to go public. Trying to gather all my strength and be brave.....

I have been blogging for the last 3-4 years and have never had the courage to make it public. But I nurture a dream.... a dream of being a writer some day...
To be frank, I always tell my husband to publish all my writings once I die.
HELLO... I am just 29; will turn awful 30 this year... !!!
I don't think I could live through the controversies. Timid... I know.

I guess, the birth giving process (recently accomplished... gave birth to my beautiful son Aum) has left behind some daring hormones, which are compelling me to flash my thoughts out in the open.....

I do not know, how much of a success this blog is going to be or how many would like to read about a 'Nobody' like me...
but for sure, I will have no regrets when I die.... ;)



I have to admit; apart from the jumpy hormones, I think it is also the wine in my blood that is deluding my thoughts... think I mentioned it before... oops!
I SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.....!!!
