Spick and span That's what my home was When we were just two Without the kid  With the baby around  I had no time  To dewrinkle the sheets Or unknot the chimes  Then the kids grew up  And scattered stuff At all places possible Not certainly the right one  The guests gave looks That I refused to decipher When not an inch of sofa Seemed free to sit  I would just exclaim The kids you see! They smiled and consoled  But judgements never ceased  I would think to myself It will be fine someday When they grow up White carpets and glass vase!  Then they bid adieu  Their rooms emptied We were two again The house ,exquisite and clean  No littering , no colors on walls No wheels lying alongside the small car It's perfect and lifeless in this pretty dome I miss that messy home

I was in the park this evening with my 2.5 yr old kid. She was running around with immense excitement , jumping to catch hold of every swing and slide there. I lifted her to place her at the top of a steep slide that she was very adamant to try. She laughed her way down and immediately held my hand asking me to rush to another. In that jiffy, I heard two siblings , must have been around 8 yrs of age or so talking to each other. The girl said, " Look how that baby enjoyed that slide and you are so afraid of falling!". The boy retorted , " Arre she is so small, usse toh pata bhi nahi darr kya hota hai." I was amazed at the reply. He was a smart kid who was talking not only about fear but the knowledge of our fear or acknowledgement of fear. I couldn't help interfering and told the girl that he was right ,validating his feelings and at the same time I told the boy to give it a try. But the reply set me thinking. When we are kids ,the urge to explore and learn is ma

My colleague who I take the tea break with Neither me nor him Drink tea He orders a cup Of black coffee And I take it with milk Every day He pesters me To try it at least once But I am marred by My own inhibitions Of how it would taste and make my mouth Hell bitter All I have to do it Sip it once And decide for sure For future But I play this game Of anticipations and Pre conceived notions That gives my mind A new something to do Before someday I deccide to kill This game forever

 While we stopped at the traffic signal this morning, we spotted a frail old man in tethered clothes meandering between  vehicles. He was begging for money from people or may be for some luck from the heaven, whatever you may call it. He was at a little distance but I took out a note from my purse and a packet of biscuit and kept it ready so that I may hand that over to him as soon as he approaches. He was knocking the windows of the cars but in vain. Few seconds were left for the light to turn green and he was few seconds away too. But dispirited by cold eyes on the road, he changed his direction suddenly and crossed over to the other side..when he was just few seconds away. I kept the money inside. This happens in life too, isn't it! May be opportunities are sitting somewhere waiting for us with open arms as desperate for us as we are for it but we just fail to reach them.  It was a dear friend's birthday and while I searched for fancy words to wish her over phone , all that

Do you feel some kind of attachment to your gall bladder ? Or have you even thought about it? I never did too. But suddenly when the doctor said yesterday that my gall bladder needs to be removed, I have apparently been experiencing a kind of separation anxiety..thinking of ways to not let it go. On top of it when I asked the doc how this surgery was going to effect me in future..he says " Nothing"..I asked him if I coud continue eating pizza.." why not, sure!"was the reply..This confused a non medical person me further. I enquired, " Is this a redundant organ?"...he took out a rough page and a pen and explained the importance of GB along with its functioning in detail highlighting its importance.  I gained no idea about why GB is sitting where it is..right next to my heart..manufacturing stones..pursuing civil or chemical engg 🤔 But I am already missing it 😜  Lol, but that's not what made my day but this did.👇 Trending #1 kindle poetry releases.
