Reached Bangalore on July 1st week. A new city, a new phase of life, a new world. And all alone… Its strange how life takes a turn so fast and that too within the blink of your eyes.

To be frank, its boring at home. But then, is it needed to repeat the past of corporate life again. I do wonder. What options do we have in this world…

I have now the company of few books, and few movie reviews pending…

I would be bouncing back soon…  I hope so.

She came in to my life on a fine one day,
But I didnt knew, she came there to stay
We stayed together from then, for a reason,
But i didnt knew, there would be an end to the season.

I loved her round and cute pink face,
Which left me at times in a daze.
Many a times she combs her straight hair,
But as always, she gives up in despair.
I tried initially to convey, but in vain,
That she looked a beauty even in plain.

We travelled in Chennai and went round,
Sharing the old and creating new memories all around,
Being the bubbly and talkative she is,
I would always nod my head in every 2 mins.

We shared the bed and our secrets, but never crossed our path,
We did fight, but always in silent wrath.
But when i fell ill, she gave silently a pill,
And cooked rice, when she never did it before, even for a drill.

Many walked into our lives, and many went away,
But we both saw it through without much sway.
We were called man and wife by some of them,
And we never bothered to correct any of them.

As I stand wondersruck at God’s gift to me,
I wondered about both of our fate and destiny.
I am now forced to leave her there,
Not knowing when to meet her somewhere.

I could feel her pain of loneliness,
But dear, I am also devoid of happiness.
Though I have few friends and an elder sister,
They can never replace you at all, ever either.

I will always be happy at my fate,
To get such a wonderful first room-mate.
As time and life forbids, we met now with parting eyes
But as you said earlier, never ever say good byes…

These songs have been crying out in my mind for the past few days. Both are too senti and I guess this and this are the main reasons for me getting disturbed these days.. Strange how music can change your mood!!!

Everything is set. But still, people are wandering here and there amidst the crowd. Calling, searching, smiling, talking, and with children finding their ways in between the legs to win the i-caught-you game, its more or less a pandemonium. Its a marriage house.

There is excitement and prevailing tension,
The voices and huzzle-buzzle, not to mention,
All as part of the so-called preparations,
To mark the beginning of a clear vision.

Thoughts, dreams and fears are high in the air,
Overwhelming the rattles and the sounds bare,
Colored with shades of red and gold, except hair,
They stand apart and aloft, amidst the glare

The uncertainties of career and priorites loomed,
Encircled by relatives, she looked within so gloom,
Friends were here and there, but yet seemed so quiescent,
And too much of making fun, had left him reticent.

There they were, far at the corner, tired but relieved,
Shedding few tears of joy and happiness,
At seeing the blessings being showered,
Sighing at the thoughts of upcoming bliss…

Two pairs of eyes saw them with ease,
To give a helping hand, and to wipe their tears,
To receive their burden of responsibilities,
To lighten their heart, they always were on their heels…

Yesterday, I lost the stone-studded silver lucky ring while shooing away some flies. Some says its unlucky to lose gold and silver. What unluck more is going to come, I wonder…

I guess I have written lot on moving on life, but I feel this is something which haunts you now n then and pulls you into a black hole. There’s a saying, “Man proposes and God disposes”. This holds so true so many times in our lives. We strive for fulfilling your dreams but ends up failing as always. People say everything happens for good and there is something in store for you. But its like you get a nokia 6270 when you dreamed of N73! You are almost there and then all your hopes go down. I really wonder why did God create these hopes n dreams and determination in us, if He is gonna shower onto us, only that which he has destined for us…

Offtopic, I feel like listening to soft songs like Kitni baatein (Lakshya) and Almost here(Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem)… hmmm…
