Festival of colours

-

6.45:am

I had slept very late last night and was in deep slumber  when the doorbell rang- still dizzy  and drugged by sleep, I dragged myself to the door.
Opening it , I saw him. A UFO must have been landed somewhere and he must have thought to visit me first. For he had a half green, half blue face and his hands were smeared in a green blue combination. I looked at him stunned and mesmerized. Then he uttered those words ........."bhai...... Happy Holi ". My best friend was here to play Holi with me and I yielded.!

Festival of colours

Holi is a time to rejuvenate. The significance of Holi has crossed many pages in history to arrive here as a time to celebrate resurrection. A spirit of festivity.
Colours speak louder than words. It's a time to create new bonds, reach out to others and forget the past worries.

I've known people take it as a day of drinking and am no stranger to it. A festival of attainment of good over evil. Wash away all the evil spirits with that liquid spirit.
Allow the colour of love to stay there forever and ever. It reveals the ludicrous best of people. Man and woman drenched wet in colours,  unrecognized by their own selfs.  A crazy all-out paint war. An amazing event that has this happy ends on such a big scale.  Where a beautiful smile is just enough to express feelings.

Best wishes to you for a Holi filled with sweet moments and memories to cherish for long!

HAPPY HOLI !!

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
