55 something

“Come to pantry now” her message blinked in office chat.
“Ok” he typed and rushed to attend his friend.
“The baby is kicking” she took his hand to her stomach, beaming.
He felt the life and welled up, not just for her motherhood,
But also for the remote possibility to have his own someday.

How he wishes it were a fiction.

An Elephant's pride

Image
I happen to see this video of elephant giving birth and it blew me off. The mother elephant (after delivery) checked the calf which neither breathed nor moved. After several kicks and a quick blow the calf took its first breath to everyone’s relief. In next few minutes the calf stood up and looked perfectly fine. The mother seemed so happy and proud and I almost heard her say “see I have made my child and I know how to take care of it”. Nearly million elephants are killed in africa during last two decades, that left so many orphans, think before buying Ivory stuff , photo courtesy National Geographic This morning found me in an unusual place, a baby shower function (locally known as “Seemandham”) of my cousin’s wife. Unlike abroad it’s a family function here and I was obliged to attend. Needless to say I was surrounded by truck load of aunties and soon to be, worrying about my future love life and stuff. On occasions like this, men get busy taking part in the rituals/ doing t...

Goedemorgen Amsterdam - Euro Trip 4

Image
Morning came and I found myself looking over this wonderful sight from the window. R was very generous to accommodate me in his flat which he shares with his colleagues. My official guide was very busy plus I was yet to get my luggage so I couldn't go anywhere. I stood in the balcony with no jacket for a long time soaking in the surroundings. I enjoyed letting out smoke from my mouth. Amsterdam’s autumn winds cooled me to the bones. This canal passes right under his flat After 11 am, it became really boring in the huge flat. By compulsive behaviour I cooked sambar and rice for my lunch. I made enough sambar to last for all the flat mates for dinner. Then I took a long warm bath and slept all through the day. Late morning view By evening I strolled along the neighbourhood and went to the business area called Bijlmer arena where R worked (its half an hour – two bus ride from the house). Thankfully he had received a message from Air-France that my luggage would be delivered the...

Merci Paris - Euro Trip 3

Image
Le Pont des Bridge, behind is the institute of France. I wasn't hoping to write one more post on Paris, owing to the fact that I spent only one and half days there, and I slept 10 hours during my stay. But it’s hard to say no, to a friend who wish to hear some more. It’s difficult to forgo history when writing about Paris, one of the old cities in the world. The permanent habituation of which dates back to 4200 BC! Much later Romans conquered it, and settled down by 52 BC. Below is the oldest place and centre of Paris – “Ile de la Cité” – a naturally formed Island in the river Siene. Across the island you can see the “Pont Neuf” (“new bridge” then) that is now the oldest bridge in Paris built in 16th century. During the darkest times (Of French revolution referred as Reign of Terror)of France, famine came upon, diseases spread and vast blood has been shed due to political upheaval. 40,000 people gave their head to Guillotine , and right here near Pont Neuf, The knights of Te...
