The Holidays.

The holidays were such a time when we all cherished each and every moment of it. The holidays meant breaking free from the rigidity of daily life. The fun in packing bags and suitcases is a bit tedious but the true fun lies in slinging on the bag pack and getting ready for the journey. Getting onto a train, making the berth for sleeping is another fun which my father used to do for me. Once or twice I have made a crumpled berth for sleeping. Waking up early in the train, watching the green fields and having omelettes from the train pantry is fun beyond words. At home many of us make faces and say-“Omelettes. Can’t we have macaroni and cheese?”  But there is no greater fun than having omelette with bread, a chunk of butter and cold water.”

Flight journeys were a rare privilege which once in two years we could afford. The best part of holidays were of visiting my maternal grandmother. Those days were golden. She was a ball of pure love.

Such were my beautiful holidays.

We just simply miss them.

Be happy and have holidays. Hope that very soon we too shall have one and more than one.

Adios!

Spring Has Come.

Spring Has Come,

Oh! How very fine.

Flowers will bloom,

Mustard fields will be full of yellow shine.

Spring has come,

Kites will be flown,

Trees will swing with happiness.

All will say,

“It’s springtime, it’s springtime.”

Spring has come,

So have the exotic birds.

Bird watchers are gathering at such places,

Where migratory birds come and

They look very grand and extremely fine.

Spring has come,

So have the holidays,

But before that exams have to be given,

Without which students can’t say,

“Hip, Hip, Hooray.”

Spring time is a beautiful time,

Which we all like.

It is the time of festivals,

Of happiness and of sheer Joy.

Springtime has come,

So it has.

Adios!

The Nose Ring.

A woman had lost her nose ring. It was her grandmother’s. She searched it everywhere, but couldn’t find it anywhere. In her office, at her home and at each and every place which she could think of.

At last she told her mother that she had lost the ring. Her mother replied-“I know.”

Woman-“How could you know Ma?”

Her mother-“For the past two days, you aren’t wearing your nose ring and you never let them out of your sight.”

Woman-“Ma, please help me find them.”

Her mother-“No need.”

Woman-“What do you mean no need?”

Her mother-“It is right in front of my eye.”

Woman was bewildered. She looked here and there, but couldn’t find it.

Woman-“Ma where is it? Please tell me.”

Her mother simply held aloft the gold chain which her daughter was wearing. Her daughter looked at it. There behind the pendant was the nose ring dangling like a pendulum.

Woman-“Ma you are God, I searched everywhere but I couldn’t find it.”

Her mother-“That’s why I am your mother.

The daughter hugged her mother and went to her office happily but this time the nose ring was placed firmly on her nose.

Adios!
