The Girl in my dream

I met a beautiful girl in my dream. She is there in the garden playing with cherubs. I have lost my way and see her accidentally. With nobody around to ask for directions I decide to approach her. I enter the garden in a slow and diffident manner unsure as to how she is going to react to me. She seems deeply engrossed in her act of playing with cherubs and has little cognizance of …

Happy Diwali ’09

I’d never thought I could miss Diwali celebrations so much. For all these years Diwali had been just a day for me celebrated with bursting crackers and exchanging sweets; a regular phenomenon occurring every year in either October or November. When I was a kid I used to anxiously wait for Diwali season to start. Of course, Diwali meant crackers, sweets, new clothes and winter. Bursting of crackers used to start as early as from …

As I was passing through the corridor I looked at the glass window and saw the raindrops over the glass. It was raining. “raining since yesterday” I whispered to myself. I stopped. The view outside the window was magnificent. I was mesmerized. Deeply engrossed in my act of looking …

Prologue

I’ve always thought of writing a blog someday. My own place where I can put my expressions, my thoughts, my desires and my life into words. But somehow the idea of writing something always haunts me.
