It’s been a while since I came back to my blog. In the middle of the last few years, when I tried to read what I wrote, I found it silly. What was I even writing about? Where was this all heading? Now I see. Now I know, as I fall back in life in…
Sleep Tight, Dear Problems
And let us sing a lullaby There they lay asleepIn their cushy blanketsand comfy pillowsOur problemsOur fearsOur worriesOur tearsAnd we pat themAnd sing themA lullaby: be asleep alwaysFor if they awakeThey’ll eat us aliveAnd gnaw into our very beings.So we pat themAnd sing themAnd let them be asleep. Always.
In Your Brown Eyes
In Your Brown Eyes I looked for me Deep in your brown eyes A reflection, a shadow Anything In those deep brown eyes An oasis, a mirage maybe? I didn’t see me I didn’t But what I saw Sucked my soul Made me evaporate In those eyes I saw All of the emotions in this…
Walking Away from Mountains
Black and Blue…. My favorite colours. I am trying so hard to be optimistic. But here I am. Black and Blue. Beaten. Fallen. This time, I am not rushing to stand up. To move ahead. I am not rushing to brush past everything, clean the rear view mirror, rev up and move again. No. This…
Ray Of Sunshine
This too shall pass – One big motto that has kept me going. Among the depths of worry, finally sunshine came by. I’d been worried for a long while about my son. When he heard better he began to speak better. That meant the world to me. Slowly but smoothly, he has now picked up…
Nah, life. Don’t throw boulders at me anymore!
It’s 2:22 am in the night. It is Monday, May 11, 2020. My heart is beating rapidly and I cannot calm down since 11 am yesterday. We are in the middle of a pandemic. And my husband is in the hospital. No, Thank God, not for covid 19. He has his digestion messed up by…
5:30 pm. April 7,2020
He’s asleep in my arms. I’m sitting up. And he’s sitting up and sleeping. I don’t want to lay him down. I don’t want to break the rythm of his breathe. I don’t want to cause more discomfort. I’ve caused enough to him since morning. My baby, my most little child, snores in bliss. I…
I dumped my love — of reading.
I came back home yesterday from the library. Empty handed. While I was there, I stood longingly at the entire shelf of novels I so dearly love and crave to read. I caressed the books with my finger tips. I enjoyed the thrill run down my spine reading each story cover. I love books. With…
What do you speak?
I speak aviation. My daughter speaks planets and solar system. My son speaks bums and farts. My baby speaks motor. And my hubby speaks bollywood. We have our own jargon. When things go wrong, I say Mayday Mayday. When the food is hot, my daughter says, my food is so hot like the sun and…
Speedbreakers.
Have you ever felt like you are standing in a big hall with hundreds of doors. And you keep running to find a way out or up. And each door you run to keeps shutting down? I am in such a hall way. This whole month of September, straight from Day 1 has been that…
9:42 am. Monday morning
My hand yearns to write. My brain itches with words to pour our. I feel so dejected. I guess I have to make do with whatever distractions I can follow to keep me sane. Life is really heartbreaking without a laptop for me. It was my only non-human bestfriend.
A beautiful morning.
Today has been one of the best mornings in a very long time. My daughter was super happy today. She got to take her new lunch bag and a super cool hoodie jacket to school. My son was super happy too, he had a pair of really awesome hiker shoes for school. (He ended up…
9:45 am
I am at the TTC station. Feels different sitting here. The last time I sat waiting for this bus, was when my baby was in my belly. Now he is in his stroller, peacefully sleeping. I feel physically better and stronger than before. I still crave sleep. It is good over all though. Time changes…
