My Lil One

-





Nested in my arms as she fed on me; she paused to look and gaze at me
A toothless smile as she flashed, Skip a beat it did my heart;
A picture perfect she gifted me; to be treasured till end to be
As She stood up on her twos and stumbled forward; My heart it knew no leaps & bounds
As She took her first steps to school; My eyes it did brim with tears
She said her Mommy was her hero; And I saw the world below
She grew with time; I grew with her
She graduated from School; My heart it did fill with pride
Soon she grew apart, where I was not a part;
My heart bled tears; And filled with fears
She could not feel, what my heart would feel
She could not hear, what my heart would speak
Mother your role is over, I felt her say
Deaf to her words, I would still cling on
Days and months I waited on; just to hear her say
“Mom oh Mom, I miss you so”

My First Blog Post

-

When I decided to write this Blog, I had no clue whatsoever on how to go about it. Not because I was alien to the subject, but because I am not a very sophisticated reader or writer myself who read only high end literature or books with heavy text which literally needs a dictionary to be understood. But then I felt I could reach out to those comradeship of society who shared my likes. I am pretty sure there are many out there who like to slouch back on those comfy cushions and just browse through some lucid writing. Having said that, I definitely look up to icons with such innate abilities with language.  Been born to one such icon, my father, is probably where the seed to my love to write was sown. So I thought of giving shape to my writing through this Blog and take you on a virtual tour of my world of Imaginative Thoughts, Poems, and some thoughtful writing. I am open to opinions, suggestions and criticism; I believe these are the ingredients that maketh a writer. ...

The Little Prince who stole our Heart

We landed in the beautiful God's Own Country - Kerala, on Saturday in July 2011. As per the well laid out schedule for our vacation, first on our agenda was to meet Prince, a little five year old from the SOS Village in the small town of Trichur. SOS Village established in 1983 by some kind souls, is a home for approximately 200 orphaned children of all ages. Let me re-emphasize....it is not an orphanage in the conventional outlook, it is a HOME for those children in the literal sense. The "SOS Village" true to its name is a village which accommodates around 15 to 20 individual houses. Each house is a Home to 15 orphaned children ranging from a tender age of 5 to 16 years. Each Home has an Amma (Mother) who has dedicated her life to mothering these children. She takes care of them, cooks with them, teaches them to keep a clean home, screams at them, laughs with them as they all lovingly call out to their Amma. Sunday morning as we chose to visit the Ho...

STAY HOME - On a lighter note

With Corona - the Pandemic having created a frightening and paralyzing environment, the whole world chanting the mantra "STAY HOME", I thought of staying home and penning down something on a lighter note essentially for a few moments of distraction. When celebrities around the world are utilizing the Stay Home time due to the engulfing Corona Virus, rejuvenating their hidden or more appropriate to say forgotten talents like artwork, playing the guitar or even practicing yoga and much more; I decided to re-visit my no-talent zone of Chapathi Making ( Round Indian wheat bread). I am sure there are a lot of raised eyebrows specially from my Asian viewership, chapathi being one of the staple diets in any Indian household, it should come but natural to any born in an Indian household. But this is one talent so to say, I failed to imbibe from my mother who could very easily make thirty of those well rounded chapathis in just ten minutes. The girls away from home, t...
