Feel It!!!

 Are u tired? Because you are running in my mind, is such a cliched pick up line, but what if, he is actually running in your mind all the time. Babes are you traveling alone, a message blinked on her phone. Alone.. oh yes.. but actually no.. I feel you are around. May be this is what people call connection or love. Nothing seperates you, not even distance. They clicked at the first meet, small talks to conversation, conversation to meeting, happened one after the other very swiftly. The more they started exploring each other then matched like the broken pieces of a puzzle. "You are so like me" is a constant for them. Ask me what's bothering me a lot every day? He asked. I don't know, you have to Tell me baby. Whether you will come home to me tonight after office or go back to your place. If you won't come tonight, then when will be the next that I get to see you. She laughs and says it's just 12 hours that you have seen me. I am sure you can wait longer. 

Let's close our eyes for a minute and think is everything in our mind? Some people think they are so smart, that they can cheat others, harass, sometime molest or even defame them. It's all done with the virtue in mind that nobody other that him will ever understand.  But that's not the truth, the person who has to suffer clearly understands. Sometimes they protest, sometimes they choose not to, just to maintain their own peace and dignity and sometimes they are too weak to protest. But that doesn't mean wrong is/was not done. A gentleman/woman is a person of his/her words, but when words are in the air and action is different what do you call them? Again it's all in the mind, perception is so relative that it can never to measured with any parameters. Men who swear on god to protect their own sisters during the holy festival of Rakhsha Bandhan goes out and rapes other's daughters and sisters. Does women life have no value? Are they just commodity, like free goo

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "walls"? Pause your super busy life for a few seconds and think.  We are all born in between four walls of a hospital, nursing home or sometimes our own home. Walls which are made of brick and mortar. These lifeless structures capture emotions for generations together. Structurally it is just an enclosed space, but that same place has made people cry in joy after holding the new born for the first time or made you cry in agony and grief after losing your loved one. Most of our lives we spend in between the four walls, grow up in our home, go to school and stay in between the walls of the class. The walls hold memories of our childhood forever, we also share these walls with others. The older we become the number of walls increases, some our visible, some are not.  Some walls are tangible while other are inside us. The ones that we built in our mind. The tangible walls gives us security while the ones which

  Switzerland - the best honeymoon destination was my vacation destination before my  - 'called off marriage' 💁  The way to Bernese Alps started from the city, which I always wanted to visit; Zurich. A few years back I wanted to do my Post Grads from ETH university, Zurich, which did not materialize due to unplanned approaches.  Bollywood has a great role to play here; I imagined Zurich as they showed in the famous Hindi movie 'DDLJ' - where Europe tour was the attraction. Zurich was not exactly the same as shown in the movie. But on our way to Bernese Alps we could actually see the cows wearing the Famous Swiss Cow bell, the beautiful valley, the blue sky and Jungfrau Mountain or the Alpine Ranges. Switzerland has an amazing public transport network, be it Swiss Rail, Bus Service, Trams or Boats. It also offers a Swiss Travel Pass for all tourist with an unlimited travel plan for a limited period of time. You can travel through out Switzerland, visit at least 500 mus

It was the same day a year back I felt I am dead for a few minutes. Those minutes happened in such a slow motion, that I remember every detail of it till today. The feeling was that of terrible pain which was unbearable and beyond any words.  That was the last day I drove a car, I smiled genuinely and I had planned for the next day. I think that's the beauty of death, you don't know when it will come, I never knew next day might not happen to me at all. Had to attend an invitation in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh ( I guess most people knows about Tirupati because of the famous lord Balaji temple). I am an atheist, so inspite of being quite a regular visitor to Tirupati never went for a 'darshan' at the temple. May be this is what Telugu people call 'papam' - sins. 14 months down the line it's easier to crack a joke on the situation which was unbearable at the real time. Accidents are accidents, you can never define why that happened, but from that fraction of sec

Baby, will you please listen to me. My heart can't keep pumping all the blood for you while I need all of it up in my brain right now. There are deadlines to meet or I am dead. The ecstasy that we shared last night had kept both of us in trance till now, and the feeling just won't go.   Two made for eachother people in a perfect relationship looks hopelessly in eachother's eyes to estimate the expiration date of their relationship. He explains, it's not that we never had a break up before, the only thing that differentiates our relationship with all the previous ones, is that we didn't know it has an expiry date. Why not make use of each moment with this special feeling, till we are not seperated.  Can we actually be seperated at heart, she started  weeping silently. He knew exactly what it means , reading between her lines was his favourite. He had no answer to this, knowing the truth for a fact. His eyes were watery and red , but he kept on smiling so that he can

 During the most difficult times, I feel a small ray of hope, or the realisation that there is something much much bigger than our tiny self exists and he is going to pull us out from this mess, is the constant food for life. You die when your hopes die, sometime in reality and sometimes metaforically.  It's easy to click pictures with rural background and smiling faces and calling ourselves as social workers whereas it is so much more difficult to live that life. You know the pain behind their smile and hard work behind those green lands and difficulties in those remoteness.  A urban planner by education and a development sector professional had to deal with the pandemic like every other person. No, I didn't suffer from covid yet, but I saw the pain that the poor people had to go through during the unending lockdowns. There are Times you decide who will get a pack of food today and who can wait, are you god, NO. Desperate situations helpless solutions. For people who don't
