'One of the greatest blessings of the Lord, lead my heart to my home, a place filled with love, for my brother, mother and father wait for me'. -- JP “Be Selfless” My son Avighna got admission in a new school which was just one km away from our house; he was just six years old. First day of the school, my son positioned himself by the main door of the classroom with butterflies in his tummy. He could see no one in spectacles; he was very much sad and shy with his head down and covered his face with cute little hands. I was telling him, “don’t do that, your new friends will tease you more, so forget about your spectacles”. His innocence was not allowing me to leave the school; I was waiting there until he settles down. I was praying he should not weep after I leave. I was watching him silently, I thought of giving him a small hug to make him feel comfortable, I tried to coax him to change his mood, suddenly, he spoke loudly with major worry “How will I make good frien...

Hear my Voice “A woman’s silence can prove to be a misery to another”. ― JP It was a boring day for me in my office and I was trying to fall sick so that I could leave early. I tried to finish the book Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne, but the dullness in me pulled me off by reading. I switched off my computer and told my boss that I need to leave early, he said ok fine. I took a taxi for Marine Drive, it was 5:00 pm, and the sun was playing hide and seeks with the clouds, as if saying “hey, this is the last game of the day, I may leave now”. I found a better place from where I could see waves and sunset clearly. Lot of couple’s occupied good space on the tetra pods. I preferred to sit on the concrete bench which was also a boundary for the tetra pods. " Sometimes loneliness is better than a crowd". I saw a girl sitting alone gazing at the Sun. She must be about 20 years old, fair skin tone with rosy lips, expressive eyes and a charming smile that any...

A dawdling walk with my emotions, Unlocked all my feelings, From the core of my heart, My tranquility fell apart.... My fever was intense, anxious, sickening, Shoddier than public speaking, He was in front of me, The memories I tried to erase… Times of yore, love of my life, Met and stood face to face, Asked me “How are you doing? ” “bulge… can’t you tell”. I Blush with disquiet, His eyes perforated me... The pain in my soul, He knows, he knows, he knows.....

As I expect my rain to come… I love the rain a lot, I love to drench, the way it elegantly falls from the trees. To place silently on an intolerant ground, ... sopping up the rain until it fades away. How many times does it rain? Who can identify how I sense when it rains? The rain acquire the troubles of today, which frequently fill my day with an blank distress. The pain and wild darkness rinse away, With the ensuing rain. Evanescently, the drizzle will dry up, as the sun’s heat cut the sky. Life proceeds in a normal way, repeated breathing with the vigor of change. The rain rinse away, grief, pain, and for a flash, it gives you the faith of purity once more. So, here I am, under the glow of a falling leaves of an antique willow tree. Hoping nervously for my rain to get nearer, to me, Outside with the flora and fauna singing, the sun shining, the wind blowing, and the leaves rustling, moment keep departing. As I expect my rain to come.
