Random Thoughts

With each passing day, I picked up a new thing. With each passing blog I discovered new strengths. With each set of problems, I discovered an innovative solution With each opinion and view, I found my space. The tears, toil, and exhaustion all were rewarded,  It was amazing while it lasted. So the challenge is roughly over and I am on ‘W’, concerned about the other alphabets that follow. Thoughts jumbling up, unable to type, and yet delighted to be going on. I am happy that I challenged myself. I always assumed it was a momentous task to accomplish. I always ran away from it and now as it is ending, it seems like a long vacation with a friend is coming to an end.  I forced myself off my comfort zone each day aiming to do better. The impulse to write kept me up at night. I fought many personal battles to do it. But the confidence it has brought is immeasurable  With each blog, I found a fresh way to express myself....

Let’s have a conversation, A conversation between two; It has been a while; Since, I had a tête-à-tête, a tête-à-tête with Amu. Amita(Amu)

M : “What do you think; is the reason for the sudden change in the weather,”; I asked randomly. With her eyes fixed on the changing colors of the sky; she deliberated for a moment and said L : “Maybe; it is a sign of change” I laughed at her silly reply. I mean we all know it is a sign of change; what I wanted it to be an answer and not a silly reply… She suddenly looked at me and smiled; L : “Yes, it seems a silly answer; but are you aware of the depth of the problem?” she questioned Suddenly I stopped laughing and turned with inquisitive eyes towards her. L : “See there is a time when things are balanced”; she began “We are using things judiciously, we are kind to every spice around us and that is the time we co-exist” M : “Yes”; I quipped rather ...

“Happy Birthday my dear friend, you have aged beautifully. Wishing you many more glorious years.” “Thank you for your wonderful wishes, but aren’t you a bit late today? I mean the whole world has wished me in morning.” “Yes, sorry for the delay, this year your birthday has brought more sleep hours; you see.” “ Yes, indeed.” “So, 68 it is. Tell me about your experience of the period of time” “ Hmm; so it has been a difficult journey…for being conceived for 2years, 11 months and 18 days my birth was a difficult task. I am happy that a veteran like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was given vested with it. I was happy to be in the form I was born; my documents were beautifully handwritten in calligraphy.” “Wow; that is amazing. You truly are special.” “Indeed, I am. My features were inspired by kids of other nations; to give me an in-depth character and wholesomeness.” “Really, that is unique.
