The born Nomad.

The born Nomad.                                                       When I see my life-style and movements that I make over a year, I feel I am Nomadic.I live over a place habituate the people around, develop strong bonds and then move off to a new place or my previous places to start afresh. I feel I m a part of their life, their problems and their association even long after I have left the places. Today is one such moment. My stay in Bangalore this time was for a week. But i feel i lived ages for these countable days.  I got to the missing links that were created due to my absence for a period of time. Now am almost on the same wavelength but at the same moment its time for me to switch over my place. I hate this transition of mind that i have been doing over years although i have developed myself at this art. I somehow love my train j...

The Beyond Thought.

                                                                                          "  A world of right and wrong. A world of being good and bad , a world of sin and deeds; I am in a search of a world, beyond being right or wrong. Beyond categories, beyond preferences and beyond moral validations."                                                                                                   When i see the stretching vast universe,the zillion stars above and the innumerable...

Taxi Driver

Image
                                               It’s a story of a taxi driver whom I met while commuting from Bandra terminus to Kurla Railway Station in Mumbai (I still call it Bombay sometimes). After my train Ranakpur Express left me at Bandra   Terminus I was in a hurry to reach Kurla Railway Station for my onward journey to Bangalore (namma bengaluru) my home.  As I moved to the exit way on the Bandra terminus I saw him in a crowd vying for his customers amongst his peers. Unlike others he wasn’t loud and audacious. He was subtle, content and cheerful. I made my way towards him. We settled for an appropriate fare and he parked my luggage with oblige. On a smooth day it’s half an hour drive with moderate traffic as I know very less of Mumbai.  As we started moving from Bandra terminus he started with a conversation and asked m...

My Secret place, my muse , my solace.

My Secret place, my muse, my solace!  How much I love to come to you?  When I am sad and broken -- you revamp me to face it all again. I know we speak; I know places speak to people. After my first post on this blog, I was striving hard to write the next. But nothing was conclusive enough to be presented. And now, when I was determined to sleep after my breakfast due to previous night commitment, this thought did not permit me to. It kept on coming to my mind until I got up and settled to write. Though the place I am gonna talk about is far from my reach and I haven't been to it for a long long time but still my previous engagements with the place have been memorable and spiritual. It is dedicated to that secret, eccentric place I was once romancing with. The place I am talking about is a few miles away from my modern campus where I was living once. A branched path from the main road led to this place. It was away from time and people. No one visited it anymo...

With your birth i was born as a mother.With your breath i sensed mine.I understood god s job in a nutshell as i created a life on earth. With you in my arms i feel so complete. Its only in the domain of a mother to give back earth a life. You are my child and i developed instant love for you the day doctors informed me that m making a life inside my womb. Its a uber magic and i did it for the first time... Thank you my child for making me magical and mystical. Your father started loving me more on the very day he saw my twinkling eyes for the secret love I had for you. He caressed me n loved me far more. He has become more responsible and caring. In short he has become your sweetheart papa.For the first time we talked of you and you were purely ours. You were the first biological credential for our relationship and togetherness.I have undergone a sea change ever since i heard n felt your progressing presence. My priorities have changed from an ambitious lady to a loving do...
