Our Secret little rendezvous'

-

                              -Let's pick up the pace a bit-

I've been a vivid reader since my school days. The quest for hunting good words , big words have stuck to me since then.

For, reading is a rendezvous' with your soul.


There have been instances or connected anecdotes where I have spelled or read words differently. Like this word, Rendezvous'..

An honest confession : I used to read this word as { ren-des-woos }..Whenever there was an opportunity to read the word, I used it diligently. I thought I had impressed all around.
One day , a friend intelligently remarked , " It is not { ren-des-woos } , it is [ ron-da-voo ]..Hahahahahaha, you should've seen my face..!!

Yeah..Rendezvous'  ---A meeting. A secret meeting to be precise. A meeting of odds..To come together face to face by arrangement.

We all have a rendezvous' with our lives.. A meeting with life , a meeting with the unexpected, the unknown.. A rendezvous'with love , a friend , a fellow human being . A rendezvous'with the Omnipresent.

Today , I'm proud to announce , if you like having a secret rendezvous , if you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do....if you like going places we can't even pronounce , or to do whatever you've been dreaming about------then my friends , I'm perfect for you.

There's room for everyone at the rendezvous of victory.

Be with someone who is proud to have you, rather than who is just looking for a rendezvous.

There is an ancient Indian saying :
" We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors ; we borrow it from our children. If we use this ethic as a moral compass, than our rendezvous with reality can also become a rendezvous with opportunity. ; "

We have a rendezvous with life.-

Once you make a decision , the universe conspires to make it happen.


Maybe there isn't much a thing as fate. Maybe it's just opportunities we're given and what we do with them.

I'm beginning to think that maybe great things don't just happen. We have to make them ourselves.

Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences.

All the world's a stage .........we know that -
but most of us are gravely unrehearsed..!

Fate loves the fearless.

Whenever I look up and ask the question : Why me ? --The cosmos barely bothers to return the reply : Why Not ?

There are detours everywhere . You need to take the right detour. Having said that , sometimes it takes a wrong turn to get you to the right place.

These are the many rendezvous , I'm been wailing about.

Today, I have a rendezvous' with the pen !. Writing means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things - thoughts , ideas and opinions.

Writing is a solitary experience . It's so intimate , I can't even share it with my wife ...!

I've a rendezvous' with a book now. It's not published yet , but tomorrow it would be. It took me more than 40 years  to write my first book , this..
My family still thinks that I'm going to starve to death.

When I write , I write for myself , the reaction is upto the reader. It's absolutely not my business whether people like or dislike it.

When I write, I provoke some things. I cannot justify my work. I do my work. It is upto you to clarify it , to judge.

My Rendezvous' with time  - Past , Present and the Future

2016  Changed me
2017  Broke me
2018  Opened my eyes
2019  I'm coming back ...?

"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...
