It’s just a wisp of a thing!‏

As I sat at my cubicle a tiny rock caught my eye. Barely large enough to see without straining. Must’ve gotten stuck in my shoe or something.
Picking it up I pondered what kind of journey must’ve led it here.  Perhaps it was stuck to the shoe of a visitor. A distant visitor? More than likely a visitor from within the province, but what if it was from an international tourist?
What if this rock had somehow managed to travel here from another country? Oh, there are so many to choose from. What climates has this rock been exposed to? Was this a piece of a rock that had drifted to show from the frigid waters of the north? Or perhaps it was a rock that was at the very center of the equator. Maybe this rock was from the very center of the earth and was carried out by a volcano!
*Gasp* Could it be that this rock is a piece of a meteorite!? That would be so cool! If this rock could tell its tale maybe it would tell me a story of the wonders of space. Is there life in space that can live without air? This could . . .
. . . Aww damn, I dropped it. Now I can’t find it . . . Oh hey, that pencil is unusually shiny! I wonder what kind of journey must’ve led it here . . .

Goa...........Sun n Sand ..............

Ever since I have started working since the Jan of 2009, this is the first time I am getting a chance to do a trip with some of my friends. My best friend and some of his friends and some of his friends of friends are going to Goa . I & Vaishu would join them  in Goa on 2nd Oct ( Yes a dry day , I sound stupid :P )  and going to stay with them for the rest of the week. I feel excited about the trip. It might be a refreshing break from my usual work days routine. I am taking off of only one day but I will be getting a whole bunch of 5 days off.  – Which is a Thursday + the weekends. I am trying to not think about it too much and I am going to try be in the moment and think about it when I am actually there. The past trips I have had to Goa were the greatest off-course because Vaishu was around :P  This trip was the best, one good part is that I am going to be spending my own money, so the drinks and partying can be on the house all we want. Vaishu was going ...

Remembering…Missing…Dad…

Please forgive a personal and less than jolly  blog, but my dad has been on my mind recently. Year upon year now have slipped quietly past since I last held him… last told him I loved him…. said a final goodbye. They say that time heals all wounds, but I’m not so sure. Perhaps it does apply a soft lens and some sepia tones to ones memories. There are certain times and life events during which the absence of loved ones is most acutely felt. Wedding, Festivals and the Birth of a child I’ve found rank high among these. So at this joyous time of New Year, please indulge me a very brief sad moment. It’s just that I do so wish my father could be with us… could see us all… hold us… kiss us. Please don’t feel you must read all of this. I’m really writing it for myself and for my family &; my siblings who would never get to meet Grandpa. I’m not saying my father was a saint, he was as flawed and human as any man.He was also always always slightly bigger than life. Perhaps that...

A WALK......

As I descended the steps of the office, I saw dark clouds in the sky. It looked as though it would rain. I walked briskly toward parking which was at the basement. My mother had warned me about getting caught in the rain. I might catch a cold or something. I wondered if I could get home before it rained. As if in reply to my thought the rain came down. I wanted to run for it but my heavy office bag discouraged me from doing so. So I walked on. Soon it was raining cats and dogs. I immediately ran for my basement in the comforts of my car but to my utter shock the basement was filled with water.Needed to pick one of my friend  drop her home. Reached her office picked her up and we started our journey home.  It seems today the rain god were showing full mercy, but they weren't kind enough to me no sooner we were exiting the office premises my car broke down :( , the only option left with me was to push the car out.  In a short while I was drenched from head to t...
