RAIN

Completely suffused in a cute ineffable emotion called Love!

It was one of those typically grey rainy mornings, cloudy and dark. The ones when the pillow suddenly becomes your inseparable bosom buddy and the beckoning arms of sleep never look more inviting. I was lying on my bed, loathe to the idea of giving up this veritable paradise. My eyes were open but not focused on anything in particular. It was not yet 7.  My mobile, which never leaves the side of my head, lights up and starts ringing.
It was she. A cute icon of beating hearts against sky blue backdrop announced her name in bold on the screen. I smiled as I groped for the green key to receive the call. Boy, it was not even morning!!
"Hullo?"
I dinn hear her cute voice ringing "Hey CP."
Instead, I heard the noise of water droplets hitting the wet ground. Trickling down from the leaves. The sound of rain.
There's something cute in listening to the sounds of rain, happening thousands of miles away, while you are lying in your bed. Outside my window, the slow trickle gradually settled into a steady downpour hitting the streets below. Far away, at her place, rain must have been stopped coz the sound grew dim.
"Did you hear it?"  She was laughing now.
"Yeah."
I smiled.
We both loved rain. We both were so crazy.

What Keeps you Going?

I, like every other ambitious greenhorn, would love to make tonnes of money before I hit 30s and then retire at the age of 31 and go off in pursuit of epicurean past-times of life. Write a Book. Be a Wine-Taster. Scale snow-clad peaks .Go globe-trotting. Go Snorkeling off the Australian Reefs and go deep-sea diving with dolphins and Rays for company. Watch the Aurora Borealis at the North Pole. Go fishing with the Eskimos at the South Pole. Ha!! The promises of an exotic future, the perfect antidote to the disappointments of today?? I really dunno the reason for this post, its going from nowhere to nowhere. Guess am too spaced out. Need a lil sign to wake up and rest my mind?  

Ode to Wawa!

I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
The edge of the bed
Where your tee-shirt used to be!

So many nights, legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes, try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you

I'm falling into memories of you, and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
Falling into memories of you!!
