all for a maggi!!

It was another boring Sunday in IISc, on 19th of December. It was getting colder as time passed. We(me and rich) were very restless due to our own personal doldrums.So we set out finally to our sports activities (goin very well for past 1 week) and managed to get the battle field this time! After that I asked her out for a walk and had a pitstop near the swimming pool. I could not convince her abt an adventurous walk in the woods ( grasses!) so our walk was confined to the lighted roads.
On our way only the maggi craze caught us I guess. Despite my 'its ok,,u have,I'l take from mess', she made me her partner in the maggi plan.We had one maggi in room and yet another had to be bought, and again money was in room only,,,that meant miles to walk to our dinner.

Maggi was not available in the stores, nor in Janatha Bazaar shops. I suggested her Reliance shop in Mathikere. Walking would be strenuous so we started looking for an auto.
By then our plan had become a lot better, adding vegetables, onion, ghee, it tasted so yummy as we cooked the plan in mind....


Reliance got us whatever we wanted, a handful of French beans, 4 carrots,2 tomatoes, 2 onions, etc. I was too hesistant for this meagre veg shopping but Reliance tho apnaa jaisa thaa..hehe

And our mission started by about 8. Rich got busy with some call and I took the knife. We were lucky enough to get the knife on time as it was not seen around in the room. Thanks to her neighbour, the mission started well. So we finally started cooking in the pan and the smell was so good and even now my taste buds remember it.

that was an awesome maggi I had with her...
we were soo happy that we did so much for a maggi...

a small wish....

Yeserday, while coming into the Mrigasira, my eyes suddenly caught sight of two kittens and their mom. The small family was taking shelter under the branches of a shrub in our courtyard. The kittens,one ash colored and other normal yellow one, were playing with each other,and no noise was coming.They were silently enjoying,falling on top of each other,trying to jump into their mom's ears,playing,cuddling each other, playing, rubbing,licking and playing..

Iwas carried away by the sight. I donno if it was nostalgia that those kittens imbibed in me..
for a moment I wished if I was one among them,in the shade of my mom and siblings, enjoying in the sun..
However, for a moment only the wish survived,coz ' growing up into a cat was inevitable in that story.Growing pains as a human had prompted me to wish to be a kitten but I was sure, the pain will be the same whichever form you live in.
So the wish was modified to be like this: how i wish i was a kitten that moment !!

the kite let loose in the sky has no choice but wait for the wind,

there are lots of kids down there,crying,,'its mine'..'mine'...

and they are running to the direction the kite is fallling.

but when the wind doesn't favour the kite,

where will the kite choose to end up,,

as ramu's or shamu's or vijay's or chikku's???

certain things are becoming meaningless...elusive....i'm letting them go offf...

the ABC of love

As I sat thinking of u
Bright was the day,
brighter the thoughts.
Coz u were there
very near and really dear.
Delight in the air
moist with memories
Elevated spirits shining in you
shining in me.
Faith brimming in my love
and in yours as well
Gorgeous the moon is up there
and so are the stars too
Illuminating the night sky
and brightening my dreams.
Just for moments though we
stayed this close in life.
Kinda that joy not found
anywhere else on earth.

its all abt dreaming..

There is an island of agony
Surrounded by seas of solitude
And I lay on the sands
Building my own castles in air.
I got the floor tiled on my thoughts
And my sighs got the bricks baked
Rooms I furnished in a night’s time
And brought in a family in no time.
Then I watched my whims taking to flight
And the next day their crash-landing
My castle got under repair
And all moved away in despair.
Now I’ve got to demolish them
Sell the tiles, bricks and space
Once the heart’s command come
there the roof fall right down...

How He played with me………

I want to hear
The rain on my roof.
When I say this
I don’t dare to miss
The sunshine warming my back!
The heavy clothesline looks wearily at me
“Don’t worry” I soothe her
When the clothes too complain of dampness
I repeat the same hopeless this time.
My glance then turns to God Almighty
And then to the skies; expecting
Everything to be clear the next moment
But then,
The toads in my backyard
Croak in despair
I watch my town folks
They’re looking into the reservoirs.
All the same I lost my hopes.
The next minute Good God winked at me
It drizzled and paused;
Then drizzled and paused
I could hear my aching feet
Almost wailing to me.
And I looked at my Savior
He seemed to say
‘Oh I’s playing with you’………

When u leave...

When u leave, skies r fallin’
My daisies wither; they taste
my tears:
I struggle with my heavy eyelids
To stay them open-my hapless eyes
For they’ve to see u, my better part
leavin’

I still count the stars,
For they tell me but truth
That u will return after a sunrise
And u will see for urself how-
My heart dances with a thousand daisies…
