The Omnipresent one

I have loads of respect for the Almighty and I truly believe in Him. Many people and 'Products' take advantage of this belief to sell their products.

It was recently that I realized why we call Him The Omnipresent One. I was cleaning the kitchen ( you know how messy a job it is!!). Cleaning up the shelves and the top of the shelves is something I hate! What do you expect from a 4'11" person (me) to do while cleaning? A jump and a hop with the broom and whoooshhh...falls all the dust and dirt(mostly on me). No chairs or slabs are made that make the top-most shelf accessible! Injustice I say#$%&*&

In one such jump, I was bombarded with lots of papers, colored ones, black and whites. I took a closer look and found out it was the Papadam's(papad) cover. It was raining Gods! The covers had Ayyapa, Lakshmi, Ganesha.... My first reaction was why the hell was this piled up all these days(or months or years)!!???
Next was of guilt..after all I had used a broom to swipe(I committed a Sin!!!). Suddenly I got the answer to my first question. Mothers would have faced the same dilemma. How could they throw all the Papadam covers with God on it into the dustbin...Mothers have the sense not to sin. 
I smile, put all the covers into a bag and decide to wait for mom to be back and decide it's fate.

I move to the next room and open the box of my bed. Five minutes of cleaning and I discover a huge heavy bag. I opened it with all my excitement...I love digging into old things.

I opened the bag and decided to stop my cleaning then and there.. didn't want to commit a sin yet again ... inside the bag were loads of calendars with images of God. Oldest and the most worn out bring from 1985.

I decided to wait for mother, she would know a better way of handling this and cleaning!

I AM- Proud to be a woman

I have been in existence, Forever and ever. I have seen it all, I'm unstoppable like a river. I know what happiness is, And I know what is misery. I'm not the one to fall, I can unravel life's mystery. I'm the petite girl, You would want to hold. Watch it! Hurt me, You will see my side untold. I can make you smile, And I can cry with you. I'm like the sunshine, And I'm like the dew. I'm the Kali, Oh so fierce. I'm also the calm Sita, Whom you revere. I'm the one about whom, A lot is said and written. Praise me or Criticize me, I am Proud to be a WOMAN!!! Regards, Srilekh

Getting into a Child's shoe

Yesterday I had been to my cousin's place who has a 2 years old daughter. It's interesting to see the way the kid has grown. Every day she has a new thing to learn. Now like every 'proud' parent, my cousin started to play the 'tell me who is this' game with the kid. The kid answered patiently and happily coz every answer was followed with applauds. An hour later, we had a new visitor. The neighborhood aunty. She re-started the 'tell me who is this' game. And the kid continued answering with a smile. This made me get into a kids shoe and think of what he/she might be thinking at each age. Let me start with age Zero to 1 year. My parents hug and kiss me, I absolutely love it. I feel wanted. But why do they not talk properly? 'Mela thota baby thoyega,ghummi dayega ' . What the hell!! I do understand the language. Anywayz next comes the uncle next door, I was happy the first time he came and got me a gift. But was followed by a 'lu lu lu lu...

Book Review- The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin Sanghi

When one of the best authors churns out his thoughts where fiction is mixed with history and also has a philosophical angle, we get a book which is an absolute page Turner! Again I will go by the attributes my review would be based on: Language: Impeccable is the word. Story and Pace: It's like a watching a movie where you can't wait for the suspense to unfold. You feel what the characters feel. Emotions, courage, power everything is demonstrated beautifully. There was one point I was questioning the need for exploring Hastinapur angle, but in the end I did get my answer. Pace of the story rarely slows down. One gets to witness various events, starting from India's Independence to the Mumbai attack. Political angle given to characters gives an opportunity to the readers to have a glimpse of India's political change, right from Indira Gandhi's time to Modi's. It is indeed a point to think on how GK(bookish one) can rather be taught in a story fo...
