What a night 'twas :')

It was a dark, yet beautiful night.. There was total blackout.. Yes! This is about the aftermath of the dreaded VARDAH, which once again showed the chennaiites that "one for all and all for one" is the thing that gets us going! But amidst all the destruction, there was something which brought a meek smile.. It was about 9pm when we realized that the inverter was out of power and we actually had to spend the night without a single streak of light.. (though there were many who had been spending sleepless nights for the past 3 days)
We finally decided to give a visit to our terrace, which we frequented when we were kids..  but now, with all those handheld gizmos we had forgotten how much fun we used to have to visit that place above our ceiling! We were using a small battery powered torch light which we decided to switch off due to the natural star light. YES! Chennai sky was starlit! We were as surprised as you are.
We had quite some fun, when my siblings decided to go downstairs.. I decided to stay with mom and dad. We were to sleep there. Slowly and gradually they both dozed off. There was something which prevented sleep to caress me. The sky, the stars, the moon.. I knew they existed, but never experienced such an allure. Their magnetism beguiled me, in fact it seemed that I wasn’t the first to be hypnotized by the triplet. The clouds wiped the dirt away to make the stars clearly perceptible. The wind danced to the tunes composed by the triplet.. the moon using its baton directed the musical ensemble of the sky and the twinkling stars.
Insomniac yet enchanted.. I was able to identify Ursa minor (I guess :P).. And named my own constellations.. There was this triplet of stars which caught my attention! They seemed to move together, twinkle with the same amount of joy and none's brightness overpowered the others'. They seemed to be inseparable, this relationship I wish to have with my friends.. I wish to make my own constellation which people would remember. A constellation which would shine bright in the sky forever❤. Totally tantalized with a mysterious desire to experience such a night just twice in a lifetime.. now and forever. I truly wish that everyone experiences such an intriguing night which could captivate their mind.

    And the sky I too remember, was the most beautiful that day.
    Perhaps we would never have noticed it if we had "lights" inside our houses.Thanks vardha for giving a visit ....but do not come again :P

From what we cannot hold..

"To know, is to know that you know nothing,” -Socrates I sometimes think about things.. things like time, the concept of it.. does it exist or is it just a human manifestation of keeping an organised track of things happening around us..? Every second of the continuum, every “Decision”, every “Action”, every "Reaction", even the slightest of movements that we indulge into, and every single thought that occurs to us, completely nullifies a thousand possibilities, and reduces them to “What if’s” and “Could have been’s”. We will never know what an alternative movement or action could have held for us. We probably just breathe in the ashes of those infinite “possibilities”. We don't "know" anything for certain anyways. I sometimes think.. what if back in the day, the person who’s job was to keep track of time, of days, of weeks, of months and of years, got bored and named a Tuesday as a Wednesday and we're still living that momentary whim.

Where there is hope, there is life.

“Pandora just couldn't stand it any longer. She had to find out what was in that box. She hurried to the table on which the box rested, unlatched it and opened the lid. Out flew all the elements of life (most of which were evil), except one. Pandora, horrified, quickly slammed the lid and latched the box, trapping the last element inside - HOPE.  This hope was trapped inside every human being to survive against all the evils that escaped the box.” This is a small extract from Greek mythology, hence signifying how evils entered the world and how we are still surviving with the hope left in the closed box.  Each time we think of “hope”, we get different contexts which fit different “hopes”. “I hope it rains tomorrow..” “She shouldn’t lose hope against the budding cancer cells in her body..” “I hope we meet again..” Human nature is restless. Something keeps reaching out from within us towards the future, towards that which is out of our grasp, which is ‘not yet’. We keep s

A Journey Called Life.

When somebody tells “I LOVE YOU”, you usually assume that they mean “I am now going to be a part of you, and be with you forever.” But it actually is something like “I am just going to be a part of your life; it’s totally up to you to make my part cherish-able or hate-able.” Be it your parents, your siblings, your friends, your “better half”, or for that matter, any person, he/she is NOT a part of ‘the you’ who is going to travel through different corners of life, but are just some good travel companions who take you through different lanes. Some lanes are dreamy and some may seem like hell, some may seem to be never-ending while some may be just a metre long, but long or short, good or bad, each turn is important to reach your destination and each road ends at the beginning of a new one. Now, let us assume that there are two roads; one is very shabby and dirty, with trash lying all around but clean at the ground level, and the other, which is very very beautiful and has gardens a
