I Speak my mind

               It is my entry to the contest " Sets You On Fire! ". Here i would like to share some moments which happened almost a year back in my life which literally set me on fire, physically and morally. May be to most of you it isn't a big deal but for me it is. If you are a person who believes in principles and morals then you would understand this situation.                It was getting darker and chilling cold was creeping inside through my sweaters,i ran hurriedly to the bus stop. i have to catch the bus as the frequency of bus service to my place is not that appreciative. Luckily bus got stuck in traffic light, i can see it from the bus stop. Bus halted, i got in, along with other passengers. The bus was unusually empty.i thanked Mr.. God, since one can't possibly experience such a luxury in a city like Delhi. Here serenity and placidit...

When the door bell rang i was startled. My cousin-sister opened the door. It was uncle's friend and his wife. She smiled looking at them and then gazed at the man's hand, like she was trying to find out what was he carrying?.They asked her about her study, she smiled. They moved into into the hall and sat on the sofa.They were middle aged couples. Me and my uncle sat facing them and my auntie and my cousin-sister sat on a sofa to their left side. We talked about a lot of things then he said he was considering to go to Kerala after retirement. Him and his wife both are from Kerala. They came here some 20 years ago. He said he wanted to lead a peaceful life after retirement in Kerala which is his home land. But the lady, his wife was not so amused by that thought. She didn't want to go back to Kerala. He was so nostalgic about his home land. Every time he said something good about his home land she countered it by saying that it was much better in here,Delhi. Each time she c...

Yesterday i went home feeling relieved that i don't have to go tomorrow and i could have a good sleep in this cold weather. 'Muharram' is suppose to be a holiday, i thought. After i got home i found a calmness and happiness in mind. i was listening to the FM radio and enjoying the tea with my cousins then suddenly the phone rang, it was for me from my boss, telling me to be there on Friday and told there was a meeting to attend, i thought "what the hell man?",my evening was ruined. Today like any other day i climbed on the bus and reached office in time.After half an hour the boss called saying, meeting is postponed and he is not coming b'coz not feeling very well. i thought "what an idea sirji", he doesn't need to come and the institution is even  working on a holiday, now that's dedication.

Yesterday i went to the temple of lord Ayyappa, along with my family.The rush inside was unbearable. Like any other place, everyone was in a hurry here. Some are pushing their way into the crowd. It seemed they want to get blessings before anyone else could, like it is some kind of stationery they can buy before it sold out.But of course some are genuine. Then some ,like myself go there by the intentions of seeing some old friends and of course beautiful girls. Actually its not our fault that we can't concentrate on praying. As these girls are passing by our eyes always follow them even if we are facing the idol of god. Then after that we drank some tea and get into the car. Don,t be under the impression that i  went to temple for some nonsense and to drink tea, but i did adjust to pray in between these nonsense. If u think i, what i did was nonsense then u have to see others who were there only with the intention of eating food the temple used to give as "Prasadam".
