Good Morning Ma’am!

“A week in Mumbai”; with this shock I confronted myself. 3rd outstation in 3rd year of Internship. And yes I was the senior of two of us going for the office trip. A part of me was excited and a part of me tensed. And there was responsibility on me. The 1st one probably to catch train on time, followed by reaching the right destination. Finding a lesser known destination is toughest in Mumbai.

The time came. My train was scheduled at 10. Things were going on right! And I arrived on time despite the not-at-all expected rains in the month of May in Ahmedabad. But to my relief because of the rains the weather turned so good. And the journey started. Upper berth and book to provide me comfort, with cell phone; enough for whole night. Only a few more hours until I was there. The night passed by with hardly 3 hours of sleep and the station arrived. I was half dead by then with 8 hours of journey. Finding transportation is not a difficult task in Mumbai even at wee hours. The city never sleeps. Arriving in Mumbai, it feels suddenly life is so chaotic, but not bad. I hired a taxi and reached near destination from where we were supposed to stay. But finding that guest house was tedious job. Again here, Google Maps do magic (can’t imagine life without Google). After 15 minutes of walk I finally reached the guest house. I was so tired and 90% dead that I went straight to the bed and slept. I was supposed to reach the workplace around 10. It was 8.30 and still it felt like that comforting bed was pulling me. I was frustrated out of that train journey, taxi, walking, empty stomach, etc. With that little courage I decided to get ready and ordered a tea without which my day is incomplete. I had that hope that at least a good tea would make my day. And then tasting the tea I felt like puking instead. Horrible. And I was again destroyed.

I just closed my room’s door in anger leaving the tea as it was. And then while I was walking towards the exit gate of pent house the watchman shouted “Good Morning Ma’am, hope you liked the room and you hadn’t had any troubles coming in here. If there is anything bothering you, let me know; have a nice day ahead!” he told with a big smile. I don’t know but why I was so happy by this man wishing me and smiling at me. These are may me lesser known feelings inside us. There are little, but so perfect. They come at right time which makes your day.


Ending on note, with this personal experience, stay happy with these little joys. Laugh carelessly, think about whatever is good. Because it’s those simple things in life that are extraordinary.

We miss you Grand mom!

That day, 31 st august, 2013; mom came in my room and in a heartbreaking tone she ordered me to shut off the T.V. I probably knew the reason but never wanted that to come true. As soon as I entered my grand mom room she lost all her senses. Did I really lose her? Was she no more in this world? I stood there; unable to move myself and trying to believe the reality! Tears came from my eyes. Everything stood still for me. I wish she lived more. I cried in an empty room remembering each and everything she did for me. My grandmother. More than a grand mom she was equal to my mom. I spent 19 years of my life with her. She pampered me like no one else and she probably had a hand in spoiling me and making me so stubborn. She used to tell me stories and sing lullabies every night to make me sleep till I turned 15. She would feed me at times when I had a row with my parents and she always fought with mom and dad to support me. She encouraged me even in studies and every time I used to ach...

Titleless

When you feel trapped inside and all doors get closed, Everything moves against the direction you supposed! When life loses faith and brings despair, Even a best friend's voice cannot repair When the journey you begin seems so far, For other it ended and you aren't still at par When the clouds of darkness surround your head, You know deep down enough is being said When your dreams you feel are too high, You want to laugh around but you sigh It may seem permanent and force you to give up, That is the time my friend you must cheer up! Don't you think you lost, your time may come soon Believe me, your hard work one day will get opportune. P.S. My first try to writing poems

Minimalism

\   Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication -Leonardo Da Vinci Living a simple life has always fascinated me. My life revolves around my friends and family. They are enough to give me all the enjoyment I need. I do not require materialistic things to complete me. I am neither a fashion buff nor I have craziness about branded clothes. I get whatever I demand from my dad. Even though I am simple like other I celebrate my birthdays with huge cake, hang out with my friends often, and splurge on a nice hotel. I do all that makes me happy.   But sometimes we often complain of not having contented life. We compare our lives with our neighbors or friends or other family. Due to all this I see a world around me everything ballooning out of shape. Cars are the size of school buses, houses are as big as convection centers, shopping mall are the size of pentagon. It seems greedy to take more than my share of water, electricity, gas, ozone, food and goods. I think bigger is ...
