A Toyota Camry LE, powered by two powerful V10 engines is a six-speed automatic sedan. A double cortado has equal amount of coffee and milk in it. They seem different only to find a common ground in familiarity. Now, the old must give away to the new. Change is painful but it contains life inContinue reading “Familiarity”

Rejoice, when impediment dawns upon you; Raises you from chasmic slumber; Mind is bowed in myriad ways, limitations lifted; On the path of righteousness, it sets you; Revel, for you are awakened; My friend, immolate yourself in the altar of life; Only after a trial of fire, is gold purged; Even flowers bloom in wilderness,Continue reading “Vighna”

There is something about bowlers delivering a ball at 90 miles an hour. They stand out, a fast bouncer usually followed by a stare that could give you chills even on sunny days. A sheering yorker to take out the most seasoned batsmen or, a length ball which zags a bit after falling on theContinue reading “The return of Bhuvi”

On the slopes of Gandhamardhan hills, lies the resting place of the Lord Harishankar, two Hindu lords, Vishnu and Shiva worshipped in one place. My stravaiging took me there alongContinue reading “My wanderings!!”

Let your craft be caught in an eddy,Let it crumble under the weight of waves;When summoned by a gale;undaunted, march into it. Your path resembles this craft;lunge yourself within,kindle the dormant consciousness,long has been it asleep,Let it be alight,the time has come. Oh!! But you may say “what if I wane away”?”Arise again”, I wouldContinue reading “Awakening!!”

Recently concluded cricket world cup suggested an alternative perspective on measuring success in our lives.

The wooden bench still finds itself there.Phew!! I travelled back in time, while sitting by the fountainon a similar wooden structure;only in the present, I am half way across the globe. Looking back through the prism of years,I stumbled upon the old “Me”;A stubborn stupid kid,driven by a sacred fire, lit within.  Waking up with the settingContinue reading “A travel back in time”

This time, I marched within, I was not sure of my seeking; I kept telling “In time, I will know”, And it kept me going.
