Reminiscence

Sparkles the fisherman's boat
In thick of the night.
Tried to capture some stars
While sitting on the swing,
The moonset on the horizon
Reflecting still some light on the window.
Is anyone there inside ?

New Year and old us!!

Here's wishing you all a very Happy and healthy New Year 2018. On the very first day of the year as all of you would have,  I sent my genuine ritualistic wishes. Health found a deliberate mention in the wishes I gave.  Having gone through what can possibly be the biggest jolt in my entire life with my family last year,   I wish everyone good health. Somethings are just beyond our control.  I had never imagined an almost fatal accident could occur with my family members or me. But then,  Life is the absolute truth which can take you on a rollercoaster ride any day and then put you on a bed of roses.  My brother met with a possibly fatal accident last year but magically all help fell in place and he is on the path of recovery. I still dread sometimes an out of routine call from my parents as what news it may bring.  Well,  this is what is Life. 

Coming to why I started writing at the very first place.  I feel this year will bring change in my life.  Well,  it is I who will bring the change.  Isn't it?  Two days ago,  a thought came to my mind.  It is not at all anything unheard of.  But as it dawned upon me,  I found it so fascinating a thought.
  Somehow,  I have always been trying to find out what I would want to do in life.  And the answer to me is still not conclusive.  I earlier used to think it's only I but later on realized that many of you belong to my category.  It doesn't give me a sense of comfort though to know of fellow beings uncertain about their goals or objectives and that I am not alone because I strongly believe we are on our own individual journey. 

So,  even if my way appears a little hazy at the moment,  I became certain of one thing with that thought.  I am a creator!  I want to make things.  Be it creating or recreating stories,  poems,  singing beautiful songs, translating, cooking food, knitting. It has to do with some creation.

And then the thought went a little ahead and then I realized I am Brahma, the Creator of my universe.  Everyone is. Each one of us is the Creator. 

This year I shall create!!!

 The last time, in a very long time,  I was filled with awe,  was when I witnessed pure joy. The innocent cry  of a four years old  calling ...
