SUNSHINE SUMMER - SUMMED UP :-)

Many great writer's all these years have written about summers. I don't think I have anything extraordinary to contribute but I do have something exclusive which is the sunshine of summer that very few people have discussed till now.

Alas..After what seemed like endless cold nights comes the beautiful summer. Many feel that temperatures have risen for the past few years all thanks to global warming (I leave the topic to the experts). I do not wish to discuss any of that.

But I love the feel of summer .Ask me reasons i can give you many.Of course i cannot argue with the fact that summer's bring lot of problems along. But chill! If everyone's looking at black and red (which is incidentally color of the season - valentine's day), who would look at white and pastels (the color of summer).

Firstly summer is all about fun. remember the good olden days of going to grandma's house and feasting on gorgeous pickles and chutney's. All those traditional food that all the cousin's used to sit in a group and eat. All those later afternoon eating of mangoes, mango juice and and aampanna, aamras, sugarcane juice, coconut water, watermelon's etc..etc... list goes on and on.. And who can forget those days of endless bath's with cold water and endless hours of indoor & outdoor games.Rushing into the house in between for water and trying to escape scoldings of elders. Running away with the bottle as fast as we can and share the water with friends and cousins. Endless stories of grandparents for all the children sleeping in the terrace looking over the clear sky and Counting the endless number of stars. All those times of stealing ice cubes from the fridge and pouring little droplets of water on the face. Those times of putting your feet under running water after a long day, those many ocassions of eating hot food under hot fan.Getting up after the dawn breaks and rushing down with pillow and mat tucked under armpits.Those endless hours of power cuts but still no worries about pogo or cartoon network. NOSTALGIC.. Isn't it....

Please try to feel the first sun ray's that hit us early in the morning during summer (It would be around 5 or 5.30). Sun doesn't rise hot but spreads warmth. The feeling is overwhelming - Standing on the terrace and feeling the warmth spread all over you. Trees or Plants while receiving the first rays display an extraordinary orange red color.

All those birds in the mornings flying in the sky trying to reach their new work places. Early risers holding hot cups and newspapers. Neighborhood elders discussing current affairs sitting on their home front yard's. Charm of seeing some ladies filling front yard of their houses with beautiful rangoli.Some children getting up and coming out of the house without brushing and scratching their heads still feeling sleepy. The cold air and fresh smell of flowers. The freshest of jasmine's being sold by lady vendors in the early mornings. The nostalgia of being a part of this world and being able to enjoy every bit of it. As the sun rises fully, the feeling turns into something like a new beginning.

Sun is shining bright and our day ahead seems right,
Workplace seems boring but sunshine makes it adoring,
Whenever in summer i wear white, i feel really light,
All those baths in cool water, remind me of a toddler.

Contd...

Those nights of laying awake on the terrace,
When mother would grumble and create a menace,
With a soft pillow,a wonderful book and a water bottle,
But sibling's nagging would become a throttle,
Still the feel of seeing a clear sky,
The only feeling i get is to fly,
Gone are those innocent days thanks to the apartments,
when life was not any Pre-packaged departments,
But still love the summer and their beauty
Coz they remind of me of my childhood's purity.


HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE FILLED SUMMER'S EVERYONE........ HAPPY SUMMERING....

Valentine-eeeeeeeee---------Yuppppppppppppyyyyy--------

Hey Folks :):):) Valentine's Day is fast approaching.. The day to express love, the spirit of giving and taking. And thankfully this time it is on a sunday unless you have a khadoos boss who is making you work or your college assignments are too high for you to miss this day out. But even then chill and Relax...............

Spirit of Valentine is all about emptying the purses. We have saved enough during the past year. Now is the time to remove that bucks from accounts and spend it on the one's we love. Family, Friends, loved one's and all those who made our life worthwhile, who have jumped along with us during our success and gave shoulder to cry. All those people who watched cricket matches even though they don't like one bit of it. Thank all those who took time out of their meetings or other busy work to listen to you rattling on the call or sulking about your teacher, your boss, your idiotic colleague or your respective B/F's or G/F's. They are the one's who deserved to be showed you care.

Our Philosophical guru's symbolically point out that everyday is valentine's day and you should not fix a particular day. If that is the case then why the hell people don't express their love for each other everyday. Nowadays relationships are taken for granted. Everyone's busy and it is understood that, 'ALL IZZ WELL". One classic example being spouse's these days discuss lunch and dinner menu's over phone or internet. Man... CRAZY WORLD.....

Nowadays everyone's so busy it has almost become a requirement to have special days to be with special people in our life - everyone included. Everyone in this world need to be told that they are loved. So Guys and Girls... There is nothing wrong in having a day to express that you love and care for all the people in your life..

Last but not the least - please do express your love for your family without whom you are not complete.

Adieu...

A free mind and A free spirit

I was watching a movie and felt nostalgic. All my dreams of becoming independent sans of responsibilities have been disturbed. Many at times i wondered when i have to get up every morning and do all the chores, Is this what i dream't of in my life? Definitely not. Life is not bed of roses nor it is full of thorns.

My thinking is the main reason.If i want i can really enjoy what i do for my family with all the love. But I choose the other path of hating what i do and feel i am doing a favor on them. Alas! the reality. Many at times my dear ladies feel that. I feel like flying like a free bird, travel when i wasn't to, read a book till midnight, get up late and not worry about breakfast or lunch. Homework's, assignments, Dinner parties for colleagues, social obligations have no place in my life. Man I'am already loving it.

My Idea life would be the one where i don't have anything to do at home, just carry on with my work and life like the way i want to. But at the end the satisfaction of sharing all the success and crying on failure with people who belong to only me is amazing.

Start Loving the feeling of being with the family, the people who love us unconditionally and whose smile lit our lives.
