FAVORITES- 2015

White puffy clouds in a sky so blue
The warm rays of the sun on a wintry noon
A rainbow after a heavy downpour
I dont ask for more, I dont ask for more

The moment after writing your last exam
Starting a book while stuck in a jam
Walking through the trees to the sea shore
I dont ask for more, I dont ask for more

Laughing at a comic movie with no control
A hot cup of tea when ur feeling so cold
Pulling a silly prank behind a door
I dont ask for more I dont ask for more

Feeding the ducks and their lil ones
Sloshing butter on warm soft buns
Travelling in a train standing at the door
I dont ask for more I dont ask for more

My favourite biryani when my tummy growls
The times when the birds repeat my howls
Standing under a waterfall watching the water pour
I dont ask for more I dont ask for more

Holding a new born and counting its fingers
Bringing a smile on someone who hurts
Playing 28 with jacks only four
I dont ask for more I dont ask for more

Cool sweet water when ur throats so
Parched
A ray of light when stuck in the dark
A delicious shower when youre hot n  sore
I dont ask for more I dont ask for more

Finding a new route to a place that is old
The first sight of the hills when ur travelling north
Finding little joys in a life thats so short
I dont ask for more I dont ask for more

Lil Humans

Mohammad One look into his face and the only word that pops into your mind is drugs. One wouldn’t linger for long on his face with its completely blanked out expression. Except for his open eyes he seems fast asleep. I think in my mind whether the effect of the drug on his brain can be reversed at all and strongly doubt it. I move on to the other children who seem more present. I must say in fact that I don’t even clearly remember the times I met him. He never uttered a word. He had run away as a small child from his home and the streets have been his home since. He made a living out of rag picking When I visited the deaddiction centre later where he was admitted, I was quite struck by this same young man who had a smile on his face which one couldn’t take their eyes off. The glint in his eyes stupefied me. It was like a dead body had come to life. And to top it all he was talking nineteen to a dozen.  He was overflowing with joy. After some months at the centre he beca...

Waiting

An inevitable part of our lives. Waiting. Personally I dread any sort of long queues. There are very few things I would stand in line for(I am still trying to figure out which those few are!). I am sure my dislike has something to do with being the 10th of a long line of offspring! But there's usually a lot more periods of waiting in our lives apart from these. Waiting to get married. Waiting to get a job. Waiting to have a baby. Waiting for a healing. Waiting for direction from God. Waiting to meet your children. The list is unending. As someone once said patience isn't about how long you wait but your attitude while you wait. One scripture that I love is when Jesus said, 'Dont worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself'. (Mt 7:34a) In my walk with the Lord i've grown to treasure my Todays. What always has and always will matter is- Today. When my today is joyful my life becomes joyful. When my present is exciting so is my life. So essentiall...

Australia

So I landed in Australia on February 6 in the year 2015. It was summertime and I reached in the evening so the air was very pleasant and breezy. To my very pleasant surprise I was out of the airport within half an hour of landing. I had the sniffer dogs approval:) As I stepped out I saw a person who looked like my spouse gazing in my direction with a huge grin. Heck, this guy looked like he was a fresh army recruit, lean, tanned and with a crew cut!!(read high salon prices) With my ardent love for the defence forces I had no complaints and ran into his arms! A good friend had offered their car and so we drove home about an hour away. As I looked around me it didn't look too different from an Indian highway except for the high speed and variety of cars. Id had a good nod on the flight so wasn't too tired either. We reached our apartment and slowly loaded our stuff into the lift and reached our landing. It looked just like a hotel with the long, quiet carpeted corridors....
