My Thoughts Keyboarded

My heels drummed as I ran All the way through the platform To the train doors which were closing on I squeezed myself in, holding a grin Hugging the door, that got glued to my face I was is sweat, waiting for aircon's grace Couple of stops later, I found a corner to be Still sweating, but it didn’t bothered me Ipod offered a love song And left a smile on my lips, It should be dedicated to the man I belong I didn’t know a thing about you then But I knew you were the one How could I explain about the feeling that fled When you too wanted me, as much as I did "Do I have to get down here to go to the hospital?" The old man's question brought me to present "Yes sir, this is the one" I replied Realising I too have to get down in that instant I helped him with his bag "Althea" said the hospital tag I introduced myself as we walked He seemed so happy to have talked "Are you going to hospital as well?" He asked "Yes sir I am visiting a friend...

Its been a while since I blogged and you would know why, in the 9th paragraph. In the last two weeks, I had several revelations, ranging from insignificant small things to life affirming ones. Just treat them like gossip column or one minute stories :) I volunteered for teaching in spastic society and had a good time with special children. As absurd as it seems they are just fine to me. They do have communication and other physical challenges. Yet unlike us they don't pretend to be something which they are not.I have seen so called normal people are not at all normal in many ways and that includes me as well. We always pretend that we are happy, wealthy and healthy. We pretend as persons that we never were and never will be. We pretend not to worry about things- we want to die for and care for things - that meant nothing to us. However I did feel for the special children when I was told that most of them are allergic to chocolates! - Unacceptable! Most of the Asian girls I see in ...

Blogger friend Thamizh has tagged me to write about how I spent time on holidays and any interesting things that happened in those good old days. And so here it is. I grew up in a joint family so, whether I liked it or not there were always people around. My dad had 4 brothers and 2 sisters. We were living in the eldest uncle's house in Thiruvanmyur - Chennai. On the whole we had 13 people all living in 2 bedroom one hall + 1 kitchen house!! Those days Saturday used to be working day for the elders, kids had half a day at school. They made idly for dinner on all saturdays. We have more visitors on the weekend. The aunt's family who lives couple of street away and other cousins who come in the weekend to play cricket or shuttle cock. So cooking idly for many people is the easiest option. Plus the left over idly will be converted to breakfast upma next day :P Sundays or any holiday starts with cleaning mela at home. The bunch of cousins and uncles all busy from early morning, cl...

The first time at the coffee shop I met you through a common friend You said you were here on a short trip And I felt no interesting grip I did not like you, you were different Compared to man of my dreams But here I am writing about you Am I in crazy or so it seems I had no intention of seeing you again But found myself sitting next to you In the movie along with friends While I wondered at the screen so bright You held my hand a little tight With mixed feeling I managed a smile Everything felt normal only for a while Then we went to restaurant nearby Where the lights were low They had their tables outside Under the moonlight glow Could be because of the lousy movie I found you interesting Could be because of the drink mailbu I found myself relaxing Could be because of the full moon I found the night charming Then you kissed me I closed my eye and I felt like crying No questions & no explanations I rested my head on your shoulders And my face on your chest As you stroked my hair I...

We all love stories regardless of our age. While I was a kid I cherished the story time. Because of two reasons, only dad says interesting stories, mom stories are all creative but not that interesting. And I only get to hear stories from him once in a while because he was working and staying in different part of the city then. My brother and I would be waiting for the story time and its almost a happy ritual for both of us .We would wait until dinner gets over then march to terrace with rolled up "pai" (the thin mattress made out of weeds I guess), pillows, bed sheets and a jug of water. My brother and I lie very close to him on each side, cuddled up because we are very scared of sleeping on open air and darkness. I still remember the cool wind, the sound it made while blowing on tree leaves . Lying on the flat surface of terracce and looking up in dark sky filled with stars was quite a magical experience. Our house was on a not-so-developed corner of the chennai city, so no...

As I moved in through the party All I can hear was laughter Nothing funny was said or done They are just drunk and having fun I brushed people and made my way Searching for a friendly face Smiling at stranger's gaze Had a drink to ease my stressful day Standing in a group were my friends Probably talking about market trends Or about which celebrity did with which one May be that’s what interests everyone Does sex and money is their only priority I wonder Then my silence is broken by a tap on the shoulder "Hey, Happy birthday dear" I wished and hugged her She grabbed the flowers from my hand with a funny smile "As usual you are late" she pinched me gleefully "ahh.." I moaned surprising myself, little loudly I was pleading my friend to let me free Then I saw you looking at me It felt right inside me, your look Like a first ray of the sun through the dense forest You smiled and turned around I felt like lost and found I can’t even write what it felt li...
