Aaah.. New York!

Aaah.. New York! My mind frequently wanders there. I loved it the first time I saw it. Now, my mind reiterates, its as good a time as any to move there, to experience the arrogance of New Yorkers first hand, but also to be absorbed into the life of the city, to be part of that immense culture shock, to be a minute yet significant part of it. When I first landed there, it lifted me up from my cocoon, calling my name, asking me to be a part of it. The days pass insignificantly, yet, some part of my brain thinks about life out there. Some times, I feel like I am in a rut, some days more so. Eventually, I project myself, outside of this tiny bubble, to see life, to live it in my heart. Some days, that is enough. But, lately, I seem to realize, that is where my life is taking me, towards that pinnacle, towards that solitude, towards that anonymity, towards freedom, towards peace.

How soon will I fulfill it? Some destinations are worth the wait. Hopefully, soon.

Too late???

His pride took a ride, yet the fear for her, overbearing every rationale. The terrorists are loose in the city and the thought of her life in danger, however remote the possibility caused him to swallow his ego and ask of her again, “Please…” “I would rather be within the touching distance of a suicide bomber”, she said. Turning her back to him, she walked away, muttering, “So typical of him to think I require him now, as though I have not survived without him. I do not need him to feel secure in my life. I am happy and perfect and ….” “Are you?”, her conscience questioned. “Yes” “Stop lying to yourself at least”, her conscience countered. “I am not”, she a...

Happy Birthday, my love

DISCLAIMER: This is a fictional story. All the characters are fictional. The incident itself is a creation. Any resemblance to people or to the situations in the real world, is purely coincidental. --------------------------------------- Abhi was staring at the computer, hoping for some miracle, as his new problem does not seem to dissolve at his persuasive attempts. The clock keeps ticking as the seconds tick to minutes and into hour. At the strike of six O’clock in the evening, his calendar snoozed reminding him that he promised his girl friend a ride and dinner, as her birthday present. His heart did a flip flop as he realized he might not make it and ruin her perfectly good day. “Are you done?”, his manager was standing next to him. “Not even close”, he responded. His manager grunted and went his way. Abhi was frustrated. He loved his work and prided himself on his priorities and days like this, he wished he was working else where than this timeless job he landed himself in. ...

Tag - I, Me and Myself - Past, Present and Future

Answer them and then tag your friends from the blog-o-sphere. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know they have been tagged and you are all set. Yesterday Your oldest memories Amazing how things of past cling on to you as memories that last forever. And those memories drive us to live a life amidst every chaos that erupts round us. There are a bunch of memories in my casket, each extremely warm and beautiful. To pick one is likely to be a tricky task. C’mon, I need some help here, which one to pick??? Will pick a memory when I was about seven years old. The kid in me fancied climbing hills, mountains, trees, buildings. But for a kid, do mountains or hills or peaks make sense? I think not, or I remember, trees and buildings are something that I thought should be mounted with extreme caution of a monkey. And I was v...
