A Dream to build a day on..

Today was one of those beautiful days I woke up with a broad smile and a very plesant feeling.A dream to build a day on! My earliest memory of you is the St.Francis kindergarten maybe we stood next each other singing 'I'm a little teapot short and stout' in Ms.Uma's class.. Giggling as we imitated the big fat teapot. The kg class photo I treasure because of people like u that little face.. your bushy ponytail..your beautiful red frock. we grew up exchanging short shy smiles as our paths crossed in tht sprawling campus.Never a word was spoken,twas a bus journey which got us talking.It kinda felt we picked up the conversation from where we left in kindergarten!! Then it was no going back been the sort of friends everyone envied.walking hand in hand joking and yapping all the time.I still remember how are eyes met often and the glance made sure we were in synch.I love the nostalgia the watch u gifted me brings.. The last time we met was at ur wedding and both of us felt it's a good bye and tWas indeed. No tears no promises.Just a touch of genuine love and sweet friendship.I don't where you are.. how u're doing but this morn gal u made my day by stepping in... into my dreams.. Thank you
with smiles,
.. as u say it Pepsi:)

Musings on a lazy saturday


Today was a day totally dedicated to wilfing. It all started with the early morning momentary decision to resume watching 'Shawshank Redemption'; friday night's leftover! A masterpiece no one can deny.A classic worth watching again and again. At the end of each viewing many lines from the movie keep popping up now and then ..

'Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies'

They say it has no memory.That's where I want to live the rest of my life.A warm place with no memory..

Salvation lies within

There must be a con like me in every prison in America. I'm the guy who can get it for you.


..prison life consists of routine, and then more routine'...

..those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It.. made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free...

'I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away,the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend

Andy Dufresne who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain


Striking lines to ruminate for a very long time.This is what movies in such settings can do to the viewers.From Great escape,Papillon,Rock, Schindler's list...to Saving private Ryan they set you thinking in a deeper realm.I went online to search for all my favourite quotes;powerful ones which hve changed many a perpective for me. Words have the power to build or break they say but I also believe in its bondage.The ability to bind the reader's mind and grant him his freedom.The freedom he is born with- to think of greater heights.


Wilfing on many days has eaten up my alloted 24 hrs but today it had a different take on me.I read and read into the day dawn to dusk on various things to the point of being eternally thankful for the ability to read, understand and write.It is simple! I know, but nevertheless powerful. Any thoughtful piece of writing leaves you pondering and unravels to you the language of your very own heart.



Reality bites:The human mind once stretched by an idea never regains its original dimension


Question of the day : How does this new fence look? ;)

Snow was falling when love came calling...♪

♪Hey hey hey snowflake my pretty lil snowflake
♪The change in the weather has made it better for me ♪
Hey hey snowflake ♪ my pretty lil snowflake,snowflake
You've got me warm as ♪ a fire with a burning desire for you♪

♪ Snow was falling when love came calling on this lonely heart of mine
...........♪
You kept stalling while my thoughts were calling on every way I knew ♪
For one excuse to get ♪ aquainted with you


Hahaa for those of you who know me well the opening lines must have shocked you. Well!! It happens and it has happened to me

Looking out of my window sipping my hot cup of coffee
I feel it gently rest on me.
The still white grandeur making its way

real yet magical
silent yet musical

cruel yet royal
wild yet mild

horrible yet beautiful
terrible yet delightful

cold yet warm
crude yet perfect

severe yet light
dull yet bright

appearing yet disappearing
nothing yet something

oh what poise without a noise....

Today I woke up to all the Christams cards I have stacked up over the years.
Pictures of snow glistening on tree tops and roof tops.
Snowman with his carrot beak, snowball fights quite a sight
Here I sit falling in love with the snow all over again in this winter wonderland

Then I said snow flakes......♪
The ice was breaking and ♪ love was waking in a winter wonderland ♪

This is one of my all time favourite songs and today I got to love it and live it yet another time. Check it out

♪ Now snow is gleaming and I'm not dreaming I know this is for real ♪
The love I have ♪ is too much to conceal ♪
Hey hey hey snow flake...♪♪

Whose line is it anyway? - Part 2

'Procrastination is the thief of time' - says who!?
'Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.'
For those of you who smiled on reading the second quote...'We are of the same feather, come, flock together' :) if you went Ewwww..com'on try to get a bit more artisitc and if you dint say anything at all.. well I get it you dont get it. Ideally speaking all of us procrastinate don't we? most of us talk highly of prioritizing which eventually includes procrastination too.Putting off things actually has a lil bit of refreashing attached to it.It gives more time for us to think about it,evaluate the situation and a lot like it.Ok with no further dilly-dallying let me get straight to it today at work I realised I sort of derive some pleasure in putting things off for a while.I have been overdoing it too. There is a considerable amount of work which I dutifully carried forward from 2009,10 days into 2010 and they are still untouched.On my personal mailbox there are emails to be replied which I promised to do asap.My room is in a slight mess and I'm learning to live with it.There are scores of missed calls on my cell phone, havent returned any of them.My ipod hasnt seen a new song in days.The snow is still waiting for my canon to crawl out of its pouch. 2010 resolutions haven't been broken yet!There are so many decisions pending and I put off even thinking about them.ah well there are a few apologies to be made :( Worser still I even tend to postpone my sleep no wonder am blogging at ungodly hours infact I have been wanting to post one ever since the New year's day

Do you think I should blame it on my lazy bones?
But I have been fairly busy..working late nights.. which proves i'm not lazy afterall ! The more I think of this the more inexplicable it becomes and that's a wee bit scaring.Considering the fleeting pleasure derived I tend to link it with gossip.People love it when they do it and later regret for it(well not everyone does tht).Felt a shiver down my spine now.

Gettin back to the question is it the thief of time or an art?
It has to be art becos it is done so well and has many degrees of perfection to it... but man!! when I'm busy keeping up with yesterday I miss out on the beauty of today.Oh no!.Well this post is my first attempt to set the leftover right and wowieee I got through succesfully


Afterthought : Time heals nothing,it merely re-arranges our memory especially during the year end :)

P.S - For those of you who missed the 1st part of this series.Here you go

At the Cross

How was it Lord?.....

To be the Life
Facing death and strife

To be the Way
Standing at the crossroad of life

To be the Shepherd
Among a pack of wolves

To be the Lion
Slain like a lamb

To be the Leader
Yet calmly follow

To be the Healer
Beaten, smitten and torn

To be the Magnificent
Despised, rejected and spat at

To be the Victor
Staring at the face of defeat

To be the Bright Morning Star
Clouded with dark insults and stares

To be the Living Water
Offered bitter vinegar

To be the Lifter of heads
Bearing the shame

To be the Truth
Accused by the false

To be Love
Surrounded by hate

To be the King of Kings
Wearing a crown of thorns

To be Dressed in Splendor
Hanging half-naked on a cross

To be the Resurrection
Embalmed in myrrh and aloes

To be the Son
Given up like a slave

To be the King of Glory
Locked in a tomb

To be the Sinless
Dumped with sin

Oh how was it Lord ??
To be the Saviour
Helpless and forsaken

Well my child,
It is all part of the plan
For every clan
There is no one to blame
Rejected, despised and in shame
Torn down and ripped
Hated and ridiculed
Left alone and forlorn
Taking your place
Paying the price
To set you free

Now draw near to Me
I’ll keep you safe in the hollow of My hand
Till we reach the Promised Land
