Under some tree…

-

 

In Random -

Few friends decided to meet up after a long time…The rendezvous was under some tree…It was night and lot of trees around…

The place was huge and swarming with mortals all around…..We missed a few friends who could not meet up , though !

The point is …the designated tree was not visible , but the important lesson , was the shade , the spirit it gave us and a feeling of a family , many of which were unknown to us , under one gigantic arms of this tree !


We were sitting in the shade , because somebody had that idea to plant a tree and spread wonders…!

There was happiness all around !..The sky was closed artificially , but still happiness , was just sitting under that tree and looking at the sky through the leaves !

The comfortable , relaxed and the pleasant surroundings …added the right light in our lives…


Friends…..hmmmm….crazy in our own terms ….you know ….We  knew that we were all crazy  here and there , and still chose to be seen with each other in public…hahahahaha.!

One thing I learnt and I learnt it  joyfully …When old friends meet , they are like trees….they take forever to grow up …!   Hai ..na ?


I also learnt that if we want to get that angle right ….if we want to get that perspective right …better climb a tree….hahahahahahaha!!

Funny , how I got the strength and the patience to wait for food and still enjoy the time , I waited …..guess….because I was in the company of trees…..


Every man , every woman , has a story to tell. These stories are good and these stories could be worse…but ..yes …there is definitely a story…..

Some remorseful stories make us think like fallen leaves….sitting majestically on a branch and then one fine day , falling to the ground dead…dry …!

But know what …?.... I’ve seen them dancing ….anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day …!  Right ?


I’ve learnt to bend myself now …..I was stiff earlier….and easy to crack too…..but now I’ve become a willow…or even a bamboo….bending with the wind and getting straight again !

Think about it …people ….have we ever have seen a discontented tree..?...Don’t think so…they grip the ground as though they liked it …and explore the earth with their roots and travel  about as far  as we do….!


I’ve got some trees in my backyard..I like to talk to them…and the animals too…a bit weird ….but guess..it’s ok though !... hahaha….I have more fun than most of the people …hahahahaha.


One lesson learnt …It becomes significant to establish roots  that are built to last…..like the roots we’ve built , to last and to last forever !

"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...
