Nostalgia

I sit in that corner
The light explores my room
It moves slowly as it looks for me
I hope it doesn't find me soon

Music echoes in my ears
I stare at the silver skies
Memories come back to me
of joy, of happiness, of childhood smiles

Those days of play and fun and games
And climbing trees so tall
There were fights and punches, name calling too
But in the end, there was love for all

I close my eyes and relive the days gone by
I make every minute last longer
There is a familiar sense of calm and peace
And the feeling becomes stronger

I watch myself dancing with the wind
There's me - running free
I have no worries of tomorrow
I am untouched by "reality"

I put the future on hold for now
And ask time to pass me by
To leave me in my moment of solitude
To leave me far behind.

Time obliges and he moves on
He doesn't turn back to check on me
The light dies out, the music softens and fades away
As i hold on to my memories...

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness” - John Keats

I always remember these words when I think of Van Gogh's "Blossoming Almond Tree". The moment - when I saw the original at the museum - can be described in one word: Magical!

Free Bird

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
There's too many places I've gotta see
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same

Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oooh ooh ooh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I cannot change

Bye bye its been sweet love
Though this feeling I cannot change
Please don't take this so badly
Cause lord knows I'm to blame
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same

Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
ooh oh oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Lord help me I can't change
Lord I can't change
Wont you fly high free bird

Every time I think of my last day at work, it brings back fond memories. One of them is attached to this song. The taste of freedom; the joy of living my dream. Thank you, Nishu!

Rediscovered...

Haldi and Milk. Ah.. Heaven unfolds!

With or Without You by U2. I'm still trying to figure out why the song got bumped off my play list. Strange.

The art of making round rotis and fooling around with atta.

The fun in playing "Fetch" with the brats. Now if you're a dog owner/lover you'll understand how satisfying it is.

A hot water bath. For someone who can't get herself to bathe more than once a day, I find excuses to prolong the event when the water is bubbling with heat. It works for me 'coz it's soothing and I get to sing a longer song in the shower.

The smell of cookies in the oven. Something tells me the aroma will return this weekend :)

My moods. In a day I cover happy, crabby, excited, indifferent, miserable, angelic, wicked, playful, bored, irascible... all of it!

My half empty wardrobe. MOMMY......Guess what time it is??

Midnight conversations. It's all in the Family. :)

The frustration load shedding brings along with it! Aaargh!!

That I still don't have a secret.

The taste that lies in a cheese omelette. Mouth watering!

Old world charm. One of my friends took utmost care to see that his date had a wonderful time tonight. There were flowers, chocolates, conversation et al.

Erma Bombeck. Gosh, she made me roll with laughter this evening.

That the life I lead right now maybe boring, mundane, bereft of adventure but it's still the only one I'd want to have. I'm just thankful that I have one. As long as there's sunshine, music, chocolate, stationery, smiles and love, all's well in my world. :)

:)

Well, with my love for stationery and owning my first box of Crayola crayons when I was 5 years old, I just had to take this quiz.

You are most like: Black
You are bold with a dark side. You make clear lines wherever you go, though you color outside of the lines. Many people may just see the surface of you and think you are merely plain, but you have a lot of depth to you as well.
