Celebrating Freedom

Went to Shivsamudra on 15th August
Just realized there's not a single proper snap of my bird :(

Another thing missing in the snaps is tricolour
There were flags all over.
Cycles, Autos, Tempos, Trucks, Busses and of course our bikes.

Schools, Houses, Govt Buildings,Hotels, Shops, Temples, Dargahs, Churches.

Bloodsuckers

Noticed some bedbugs in my helmet……. YUP that’s right BEDBUGS in my helmet.

 

That gave me a funny thought

Do I have to encounter bloodsuckers wherever I seek pleasure?

 

Horseflies in Sadabahar’s tabela(my fav mare)

Ticks behind Cola’s ears(smartest Doberman bitch the world has ever seen)

Mosquitoes in my colony lawn where we used to lie down and watch the stars when the lights went out

Leaches on the path through the woods to the most amazing waterfall

Vampire bats in caves and tunnels (Okay okay, there are no vampire bats in India but I thought there were when I walked thru those tunnels)

And now bedbugs in my helmet.

That brings another thought to my mind.

Now that I have started loving my work should I bring a mirror to office and see if I can see my boss?

Sound of Music

Hate to be disturbed while working.
So got headphones more to cut out the bagraound noice than love of music.
And then one fine day

Experience

Ripening is the transformation from Sour to Sweet, Hard to Soft.

If Life’s making you Bitter and Tougher with time,

Ask yourself “Am I Rotting?”

                                                Swap Life

 

To Constantly Wonder Afresh

To Constantly Wonder Afresh:

"Father, I forgive myself

If you try hard enough,
you always find reasons
to forgive yourself.

But then,
while the heavy crosses of guilt
rot all along the easy path you tread,
slowly,
under your cloak of nonchalance,
your muscles atrophy
with no weights to bear,
no burdens to strengthen them.

And then one day, you wonder
why the face in the mirror,
lacks character.

Asha"
