Emotions !!

Ever felt the tingling feeling at the back of your mouth which you just cannot control; that feeling of dread deep inside your guts which is insatiable; that fear of tripping into a deep dark well of infinite depth which is just ineluctable; that continuous beep echoing in your ear which is just unstoppable; that lasting and burning sensation in the corner of the eyes which is just inextinguishable; that rotten taste on the back of your tongue which you just cannot seem to get rid of.



Ever felt so fearful that you can listen to your own heartbeats so loud and clear that you feel like the heart is directly connected to your ears? Ever felt so anxious that every second, a hundred thoughts run through your mind, making you ever more impatient and cranky? Ever felt so pressurised that every single moment spent is like standing on a single leg on a piece of burning hot coal? Ever felt so depressed that you just want to plug out the power supply of the body and go in a state of hibernation for as long as the heart yearns? Ever felt so alone that the whole body feels hollow from within with nothing to fill it with?



When music is the only thing playing at the back of your mind; when a face is the only thing roaming in front of your eyes; when a single name is stuck on the tip of your tongue; when a deep feeling of longing is stabbing your heart. When love is all around you, inside you; when you are immersed in love, overflowing with love!



We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Rainy Sunday Afternoon

After a long one and a half months of wedding management and the extravaganza of events, a restive Sunday was all that was needed; to reboot the mental system which has been running on overdrive for all these days. And as a reward for all the hard work that was put in, the all merciful God made it rain.

There are very few sights more beautiful, than water pouring on the trees, the streets, the houses, the children, and washing away all the stagnancy and the melancholy from the city, that a long dry winter had to offer. People always look forward to the first summer rain, but it is the first spring rain that adds all colours to this otherwise dull world. The black and white, lackluster winter suddenly wakes up to a motley and vivid spring with greener leaves, brighter houses and chirpier birds. The petrichor fills the air; the moist earth is ready to blossom again; the caterpillars come out of their cocoons, magically spreading their wings and taking flight for the first time.


The whole city is awake from its hibernation and ready to welcome spring with open arms. Amidst the sudden outburst of colours, the cacophony of sounds and the myriad of activities, I lay nestled in my den, watching the rain cleansing the city; watching the birds flapping their wet and ruffled wings; watching the clouds overpowering the mighty sun; watching the kids jumping in the puddles; watching the trees sway to the whims of the winds. And I just lie here enervated, with spring thoughts in my mind, watching the world turn a few more shades romantic.

In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours. ~ Mark Twain
