Gardening!

-

 My grandfather was a gardener at the botany department in Kerala university. So, this rubbed off on to my mom who plants all sorts of flowering plants, vegetables and fruits. I love fruit bearing trees and plants. The past two weeks I had been active physically at the backyard, trying to get rid of ants some light tilling and watering the plants regularly. Happy.

Werewolf

I hear you weighing my words,  Observing my actions,  And snickering away,  Mocking everything, I say, I do.  Let me tell you this, I will not stay Where I am disrespected,  Thank your God, or your lucky star, You are blessed, with joints that move, I was not, I am not. So, I will look you in the eye,  Next time “friend”  And you will see me,  Showing You a finger. Because everytime I do these things,  I’m breaking a part of me,  To become who I am,  I’m in pain!  Pain you have never felt. So never play with me,  Or my feelings!  I will not stay! Hyenas don’t have a good reputation,  So don’t be one.  Be a wolf.  Leave the pack,  Change!  Transform into one lone werewolf   And howl at the full moon!

Dawg!

Denzil is going back to the Netherlands tonight! So he called me (last night), to accompany him to IDC for breakfast! He wanted to satisfy his Masala Dosa and podi Idli cravings!  So we set out early, at  6:30ish as planned  7:45 to IDC. Andy joined us. We drank coffee, ate some amazing breakfast.  After we stepped out, our eyes fell upon this dawg! The pup was shivering.. and had this “I need help” “I’m cuter than them bitches” eyes. We really didn’t know what to do. People walking around at the park told us, it was abandoned and had difficulty to walk. Some people even asked us to “please do something, it needs help” Someone had abandoned the pup at the park maybe in hopes that someone will rescue her. “Compassionately heartless” quipped Denzil  I reached out to everyone I knew who had some experience with rescuing dogs! Tanya, who was pretending to sleep, ignored our calls, but we called her mom to “wake” her up. I spoke to her while Denzil sent a picture of ...

This song!

This song is stuck in my head, triggering some emotions. Somewhere Only We Know, by Keane but sung by Rhianne  . It’s an ear worm. It grabs my soul, cuts my heart like warm knife on butter. It must be her voice, or the lyrics!  This song reminds me of the good old days, takes me back to my childhood when I was just learning songs on my guitar with a red Sony tape recorder!  Nothing is going to be the same again! Age is catching up with no more of those simple things! The lyrics are quite melancholic, triggering an existential reflection.  Oh simple things, where have you gone? I’ m getting old and I need something to rely on.   And if you have a minute, why don’t we go, talk about it somewhere only we know?  Suddenly I notice, my body hurts with no rest days! My brain is cooked with so much activity, now my heart and soul weeps. I’m almost reaching the breaking point, but at the same time, I know I’m in control. I hold it all together! This fight within is ...
