Ma made tea.

Ma made tea and brought it in a cup, placed on a saucer. On that saucer she had kept two biscuits and with a certain blink in her eyes, she asked me to drink the tea.

I took a sip. It smelled of jasmine. I asked Ma-“Ma, how did you prepare this tea? There is a sweet aroma of Jasmine in it.”

Ma-“I have my own way of preparing it. The jasmine tea leaves are a new addition to it. It has a very rich taste.”

Me-“Yes, it does Ma.”

Soon before I could finish my tea, I had two more biscuits and have placed a demand to my mother, that from now onwards I want this same tea for morning and evening.

Ma smiled hearing demand and said –“Yes.”

Adios!

When It Hurts.

When it hurts,

It pains a lot.

The tears flows like “trot-trot-trot”.

The heart empties its sadness via the tears,

It gets refilled when the hurt comes back,

The pain lingers sometimes for a while, sometimes for a day,

Sometimes for a whole week and sometimes for the entire life.

Hurt acts like an old currency which is still valid yet not prominent.

Sometimes it leaves a mark, sometimes that mark gets washed with tears and sometimes with time.

Many say that time is the biggest healer. But that’s where they are mistaken.

It’s not time,it’s your own self which is the biggest healer of all.

If that fails, then God whom we all forget save at the time of needs and deeds,

He rains his mercy, forgiveness and love upon us and that helps us forget those pains,

Which seem to be non-existent.

When it hurts, the whole world revolves around us and it’s our parent’s love which keeps us going. Many a time a spouse’s true love also helps us, but true love is like dew. It vanishes before you can touch it.

Adios!

I am at the sea.

I am at the sea,

The fresh air is breezing at me,

Please don’t laugh O! Kind wind,

For it’s me.

The waves are dancing,

The flocks of birds are flying,

Had you seen my bar of chocolate,

Which I ate yesterday?

How could you? It wouldn’t be here.

Silly of me.

Never mind O! Good sea,

Be happy and let the ships sail safely,

For had it not been for you,

The lighthouses and the sea shore would have been empty.

Adios!

Simplicity.

Simplicity is God’s boon. Those who are simple, simplicity simply oozes out of them.

It can’t be moulded, can’t be dented and can’t be sold for any amount.

Anything which doesn’t over burden you, maintains self-respect and discipline is simplicity in its mediocre form. In its highest form, there wouldn’t be the need to identify whether someone is simple or simply maintains it for the sake of society or as an act.

One never need to be told about simplicity. Its in our ecosystem.  It’s the first thing attracts most of us. An uncomplicated gadget, an uncomplicated ecosystem, a fresh and beautiful air, nice and clean, these things don’t need telling about twice. They simply are and will be, provided man doesn’t change them.

But people do often change. That’s the time when simplicity simply leaves them and they act even dumber than donkeys.

For example:- You can have a breakfast of bread and jam, but you choose to have such a breakfast where you need to gobble up four building sized burgers and three gigantic pizzas and after you do so, you have to lie down on your bed, as you wouldn’t be able to move even an inch and may even have to call the doctor.

One can have two pens in your pencil box, even three at the most, but pens are such lucrative objects wherein people often end up keeping five-six pens in their box or in their bags.

Money, greed and lust often drives a person away from simplicity.

It’s good to be honest, to strive hard, to work hard and with that if you have simplicity in your jewel box then nothing better than it.

Adios!

Lovely Time Of That Summer.

That summer went by happily.

We were happy,

We were dancing,

We were singing,

On each and every morning we had light breakfast,

Every lunch was a superb brunch,

Every dinner was a delight,

Every day was a delight.

Every second was a breath in paradise.

The lovely time of that summer will be ours to feel, revisit and live on with us forever and forever.   

Adios!
