Jab We Met !

And those were lush green lands,
under azure sky,
And leaves were rustling,
Like their thundering sighs,
The fragrance of breeze,
Rolled over wheels,

A blanket of flowers,
A mighty heart,
Took a deep plunge,
Into a new world,
And they met for the time first,
When for beauty and poise,
Nature had accomplished its thirst,

And they later called it Love.

And my heart will go on ..

I think I have a serious liking for the places that run 24X7 around patterned life. Life running at all moments  at such places gives me a soothing heart. Airports, stations, bus stands, taxi stands, while I wouldn't like to mention hospitals, but seriously with a sight of these places, in general, I recount that life runs all the time in all possible dimensions, in a rush to grab some unknown, in a desire to meet unknown, or like a play which would reach its end, and in its limitations,in all habitats,in all time zones, with every possible emotion, under many clock ticks, it does run all the way and all the while.
As I sit to watch around,
I feel closer to Life.

We shall overcome !

It is like a tree standing in some gushing storms,
Battered by the thrust wreaked on it,
Struggling against the tormenting force that wants to take a defeat on it,
Beaten in unanimous direction of sweeping strength,
It suffers the pains in tolerance,
Leaves are gone,
Fruits lay alone,
Holding on to its roots,
Beliefs say,
It would go away.

Oh I see ..

I have seen bud growing and becoming a flower,
I have seen love blooming and filling up the heart.
From some days of flat presence to moments of passion and charm,
From laughter to heartfelt delight,
I have seen love sparkling and lighting up the heart.
From a luxury to one basic need,
From being just life's part to becoming one belief,
From some craziness of heart to a saving relief,
I have seen it all,
I have seen it grow,
Constantly.

Cakes all the way !

Eye-kohl and the waiter

There can not be examples enough to instance that at job, how one is required to be spontaneous, have a sharp presence of mind, be clear about what he perceives and putting it across in simpler words. Though these sound like to be very necessitated traits for anyone working on this planet, an example would throw more light on it.

I have this one funny incident to narrate,self-encountered one, in the majestic state of Goa which thoroughly would justify the capacities of a restaurant waiter in all aspects I aforementioned. 

A gang of gals, 5 in number was on a trip to the state of Goa. And getting ready in morning was ideally an affair of few hours only.One of them being myself is an easy bundle of nonsense and an invitation to laughs. A very dear friend of mine had one of the many varieties of eye kohl which is used to decorate eyes. Putting it like a line over the eye lid,usually called eyeliner, gives a good look. So one morning I told her to put that on my eyes too. And as she did her job, to fine tune and balance the amount of liner over both the eyes, it grew thicker in appearance and my eyes looked charcoal-ed  rather than beautiful.

As we were in hurry, we got down and started on for the day in our taxi. Seated in taxi, a glance in the hand mirror did not satisfy me with my friend's work on my eyes and I told her that I want to take it off. We were like lets do it at the breakfast restaurant.

they looked beauties ...

As we landed to feed our tummies, I rushed to the ladies room to wash off. But the basin there had no mirror. I came back to the seated gang and asked the waiter to which rest of the ladies were placing an order "I could not find any mirror over the basin. Is there any other around. I want to look into the mirror."

Reading my face, and my so baffled expression, and the amount of eye liner over the eyes, and my such strong urge to take it off, and my expression that stayed “Oh! I look horrible”, he jumped to say "Haan Madam, Thoda zada to ho gaya hai [Yes Mam, It is little more ]”

I was like ... Actually Dot Dot Dot.

He looked simple, sober and innocent.I tried ignoring as I did not hear to save myself from the embarrassment and fun the gals would have poked on me, behaving like no one heard.

But all of us had heard it. And we together exploded into laughter, And one of us was offended a bit more than anyone to say " We can get him thrown off his job. It is not done" And we could see behind how his manager was dealing with him.

And the phrase “"Haan Madam, Thoda zada to ho gaya hai [Yes Mam, It is little more ]”, we carried it all through our trip, exclaiming it every next moment and laughed like blazes.

Had the lady on his other side been in abundance of attitude, the impact surely could cost him a hell heavier, I suppose. But  as I said, he was spontaneous, and read that expression on my face so sharply and was gutsy to put it in such words. I was rather impressed at his honesty of expression, at his innocence and naiveness of not knowing  much about the world and its how-to-dos.

After taking off some of that kohl ..
