Few words...

Okay…. So this is the third and final part of Memoirs of my December (awww…. Don’t be sad… there will always be more on ‘Few Words’).  This is the part which kind of summarizes my entire winter vacation. So here it goes…. 30 th December 2010 –3 rd January 2011 : After Sumi’s treat… he got a bit busy and I too wanted to spend some more time with my family since only a few days were remaining before I left for Delhi again, from where I had to go catch my flight back to Goa. So most of this period was spent at home, having fun with my little bro, chatting with Dadi, and of course, watching Prison Break with mom and dad. However the days were running out fast, and the tale of Michael Scolefield was quite far from reaching its climax, so mom, dad and me were in a race against time (sounds vaguely familiar to a Hindi movie title, I know! ) Now it so happened when the three of us were in the same room, and that room happened to be mom and dad’s room, a fourth member used to join us – ...

26th-28th Dec 2010 : Me and Mom left for Jaipur on 26th. The bus journey wasn't as pleasing as it usually used to be because of the numerous flyovers under construction on the highway. We still made it in around 6 hours. I always get overjoyed when I’m back in Jaipur and that time was no different. Chachu n Chachi had to leave for Kolkata in the evening, so I spent some time catching up with them in the afternoon. In the evening I had my coffee with Dadi in her room telling her about what all transpired with me in that semester. After Chachu and Chachi left, and my younger cousin got back  to his studies, I got engrossed with my broadband internet... the only time I get every 5 months with a net that's speedy enough to stream YouTube videos in real time. This time it was even better, because the gprs net I used in Delhi had made my net life worse than hell...! I know it sounds boring but you can't guess what it’s like until it happens to you... 29th Dec 2010 : The appropri...

This one's a non-poem post by me after a long,long time. But it had to be something special to make it to this blog, and so it is. This one's about my holidays in the last month. Here it goes... 8th Dec 2010: Everything was looking set. Exams were going to get over in two days time, and I was going to fly off to nani's place in Delhi after 5 long months at college. So i was evidently happy the evening when an sms from Spice Jet that wiped the smile clean off my face. It stated that my flight had been cancelled due to 'unforeseen circumstances' and that 'the inconvinence caused was deeply regretted' .... yeah right! After a series of calls between me and dad, it was decided that he would go and check out at the airport as to what SpiceJet was going to do about the whole situation since I had my last exam on 10th and had to prepare for it 9th Dec 2010: Dad visited the airport, SpiceJet informed him that they would be happy to adjust me in a f...

Ever and anon in times of despair I look around for my magic wand wondering if life is fair Will that wand have the magic to aspire in me the lost confidence? to make things around me not look tragic? Will I, with a twist of my hand, be able to remove all my doubts and grow like that cactus in the desert sand? Will it bring down the walls that surround me? Will it clear the mist of problems that grows ever persistently around me? With the belief and hope of a child I search for it now more than ever before it's lost in the world so wild So what or who is it destined to be my wand and show me that I've not yet reached my limit? Is it my family, is it my friends or is it that special person for whom my love knows no ends So i leave you with a thought to be someone's magic wand the one to wipe their tears the river to sink their droughts.

When you're down and depressed Wanting to be somebody else but you can't be When life's got a different meaning you try too hard but can't see It is time you opened your eyes and tell yourself 'I am me' To reach for the stars you have to begin by climbing a tree It is inside you to score your first victory and start your spree When you discover yourself things will change god will answer  your every plea Then the world which will lie beneath wanting to be you but it won't be Life would be clear as a crystal others won't be able to tell but it will be you who will be able to see....
