the baby lying in the cradle
so innocent and pure
not aware of the challenges ahead
ready set go
…………………………………………………..
childhood is a bliss
savour it as long as you you can
life ahead is full of struggles
ready set go
…………………………………………………
and so dear be happy as you go along
for this is the way life goes on
enjoy the ride
ready set go

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
the creaky stairs
the unpainted door
the cracked windows
the unpolished floor
……………………………………..
the musty smell
of the old wood
reminds me of the days
of my childhood
…………………………………..
i love the balmy breeze
that flows in on summer days
i belong here i know
this is where my heart stays
………………………………………
i am attached to this house forever
it was here i was born
my childhood still stays here
it was here my parents i did mourn
…………………………………………
i belong here i know
this is my paradise
i wish to be born again
in this house i emphasize

An excuse to smile
An excuse to forget
An excuse to live life
An excuse not to fret.
An excuse to be happy
An excuse to dream
An excuse to love
An excuse to hold up your esteem.
Always find excuses
For the above wonderful things
After all you only live once
Happily accept what nature brings.

A beautiful memory of my childhood that haunts me even now. My father has me up in his arms and we are on the terrace of our house. On the adjacent terrace is a huge cement slab projecting outwards.On that slab there are around 20 to 30 crows. One crow out of them appeared to be the boss. As and when that crow jumped here and there all the other crows paid attention to him .Soon the leader crow flew and the others waited for him. Soon he came back and appeared to tell something to the others. Then one by one the other crows flew here and there as if going on some errands, assigned to them by the leader.
It was a beautiful memory, a vivid picture my father painted, that I can visualise even today. Just went on to make me believe that even birds have a world of their own.
It was much later I came to know that a group of crows is called a ”murder”
Also what my dad told me as a child, was actually true. It was quite possible that the group of crows was actually having a conference, because they are known to be among the world’s most intelligent animals.
Lovely, isn’t it!

The clock strikes 12 midnight
I hurry to brush my teeth, wash my face
Apply night cream,look in mirror for wrinkles. See many.
Apply cream anyway. Lie down. My back itches. Turn sides. Still itching. Get up to apply talcum. Lie down.
Ah sleep finally.
But no, A dog starts barking in the street. Try to ignore. Keeps barking.
Get up again. Opr the window to shoo off the dog. Does not go. Go back to bed.Look for my ear beds. Put them in my ears. Try to sleep.
Light coming from in between the curtains. Get up again. Close the curtains .
Go back to bed. Look at the clock. Its already 2 a.m.
Panic. Have to get up early. Try to sleep.
Damn, I am thirsty. Get up again to drink water.
Come back to bed, exhausted.
Try to sleep. Wake up with a start. My alarm went off.Look at the clock. It went off early.
Try to sleep for an hour more.
Get up because of someone knocking at the door.
Time for work, my son says.
Get up finally.
Did I sleep at all?
See no degree of rest or sanity in my nights….
