Feelings

OUR GUESTS                      They were our guests for almost a month , we did'nt know how time flied and when they left , but yes have memories captured in our camera . It had become a daily routine to check on them, their vusy activity every now and then , for al of us at home. It was such a tedious task for them working through out the day preparing for the D-day.I fact we were excited too .    The Brahminy starling couple were struggling to find anice ,safe place to welcome their young ones.  Our bedroom window was the chosen safe place  to lay the eggs we guessed.  Its an amazing sight  to see how birds work round the clock to  bring their babies into this wonderful world.             Firstly it was making a good soft bed for laying eggs, understanding the nature's clock that now is the time to lay eggs. Surprising!!  Once she layed the e...

A PROMISE                                                                                        I  made a promise                                                     to see the rising sun when the                                                    sky is a little pink , a little orange                                                    when, the birds hum the...

    Gone are the days when we used to have cameras and camera rolls. It’s all primitive aah , now can I say so ? Those rolls and  counting and saving one for this occasion and one for that literally. It used to be 36 or 37 films in which you could capture “the” moment. No previews hah! ab toh click Karke Dekh Saktein  hein  photo acha  aya yanahi ... nahi toh koi baat nahi  aur kheench lete hein .... and the clicking goes on...    It’s all about snaps now , if u go out now selfie stick  is a must , you may forget to take your hat in the hot sun but not this. How am I looking ? is dress too flashy or too dull , photo jabardast Ana hein ... Facebook  Instagram update ke liye...    Whether you enjoy the trip or whatever event , Thoda “click click” toh Banta hein... Arey just enjoy the sunset , feel the breeze ,  feel the calm , observe around . If you have gone to a new place meet people,  talk to them , understa...

 Today’s traffic is such a nightmare. Not to mention the traffic at peak hours!! Moving at a snails pace you just don’t know when you will reach your destination. With this in mind everyone is in hurry to squeeze through  , least bit bothered about the person next to you never realising he/ she too is equally in a hurry . And in this commotion the unwanted traffic jam is what you see. You are stuck neither can you come out nor can you move an inch forward. Now you find yourself cursing the fellow opposite you “ isko bhi abhi aana tha , thoda Rukjaata toh kya bigadta”  never understanding that he too is mumbling angrily the same thing about you.!! With this traffic jam  already creating chaos around , you get out of your gaadi  only to see people on bikes from behind squeezing through as if he doesn’t know what’s going on here and blocks  the traffic even more instead of making way for others coming from the opposite direction. It’s almost half an hour now...

  Have you tried saying hi to yourself?? Asked yourself how are you doing?? Had a chat with your own self?? Sounds funny hein naaa!! But I swear it’s a wonderful feeling to be friends with oneself. You don’t need to think twice what you speak . You are not lonely , you have company of you the person you love the most.   First thing in the morning say to yourself , hi me !! Hope you had a good sleep in the night . Just look at the smile that brings to your face. Say I love you to the moon and back, and again you are smiling!! Amazing isn’t it. Not that there is no love around , the world is full of energy love and laughter , but you need to love yourself to realise this.   A lot of work gets done while being in ones own company , it empowers you , energises you, makes you think . Some may call it being alone but no , believe me it’s just being with oneself , understanding  ,learning life’s lessons.   You are the best person to know what your heart wants ...

    Pune a city of renowned musicians , theatre personalities ,a place for artists, young aspirants and equally an educational hub. Naturally I was too excited to be coming here to stay  after my graduation, as my father had a transferable job . So we were here until my father's next transfer . Little did I know that I would be staying here longer as I fell in love with the vibrant energy that the city has.   I didn't know a bit of Marathi then . Somehow we managed to converse  either with Hindi or through the  language of action . This was the time when I got introduced to the typical Puneri  Marathi.Well ,there are different dialects in Marathi too as we have in Kannada.  So when you greet a person and exchange hellos and how are yous , the person would say  chaaan(pronounced in a singing tone )with a smile . And his/her next sentence would be tumhi kase aahaat ?? Sagla chaaaan (again with swaying and singing tone) . I would be surpris...
