Beeps In The Mind

New Year is just a day away and I was thinking of taking some New Year resolution. I was lazy to keep my last year resolution going but somehow I have kept my word to myself though stammered at times. And then, I found some quotes on New Year, saved in my system. I had a look at those again. Indeed inspiring and so thought of sharing it with you. Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'                    -          Alfred Lord Tennyson Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come.                   -      Melody Beattie   I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Year’s resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right?                   -          Catherine O'Har

I like poetic tales. Do you like too? Here’s a story I tried scribbling. Hope you would like it. :) The cold morning breeze, And the quiver in my voice, Wanted you to lend a warm cuddle. Before you could offer one, I was but dragged away, By the blind folding fog, From all those trails, That leaded to you. Later, when the breeze, Whispered your name in my ears, I was standing alone, With a fear hitherto unknown. Soon I started listening, To each of the voices, Of those natural powers, That revealed the short cuts to your smile. And... All smiles! Credits: Chris Sardegna

I waited long till the nightfall,  For you to come as a cute little breeze, I tried raising my thin leafy hands, For you to clasp around, To make you known of my tale in green,  All I want is to conquer you,  For the millionth of a second,  To make you feel the bliss of stillness.   Image Credits: Pixabay

Seasons come, Seasons go, Past is forgotten, present is forgiven. Memories get aged, get ignored, Dreams are born, get matured  And with every season new, A magic is unveiled. For the lengthier days,   I wait for the winter to pass by, Never but dislike the non-harsh coldness. I enjoy the yellow and mellow, But not the dry browns. And then, the clouds come down,  To bring in a soothing green. When the soil is muddy and at times, awash, Vanishes the tough and noisy monsoon, Blessing with a lovely spring, And it’s then I smile full-hearted. (Like anything plantlike in Kerala.)  :) :) :) Image Credits: Picjumbo

From Butterfly Park, Bannerghatta Butterflies spreading their freedom in the air, Their journey to some unknown gardens, Their pranks and their magical aspects, Always, sources of gusto, to me. I have a fancy to follow them, To find out their sleeps, On the laps of some sleepy leaves, And in the hearts of some drooped flowers. Far away from my sight, are their homes, But loving to chase their coloured thoughts, I do have a mind with wings, and coloured dreams, And I wish to meet them in the sky, some day, Near the bosom of some unknown, But highly fragrant flower.

Near the bosom of that mind locking place, The breeze truthing things I longed to hear, My mind dashed to the unreal, With a pain so severe that of a bird in a cage. I should leave the place soon, To be in another zone of time, She reminded. I would rather tie my thoughts on you, To wander along with you, Taking hold of the time zone you own; Real or unreal, I whispered. Let me take a little delight, In the moment I am in, Realising the realness of the unreal, Before I get woken up by my busy self.

I am back to make this space active. So how you have been doing? Thank God! I had a scrumptious Onam! Sharing here some of those moments. Hope you have read my previous Onam experiences in my last post. Nowadays I find it hard to find time to pour out my thoughts . But once I am here to scribble , its bliss! See you soon! For now let those flowers speak!

I am scribbling this from office. It’s time to pack up and rush back home. But I have no plans to leave without finishing this post. Everyone is busy discussing about our plans to celebrate Onam , yes office celebrations. But something is disturbing me inside. What’s it? Sometimes even I won’t be able to answer these questions! Onam is of course something auspicious which energizes the spirit. Scrumptious it is in every aspect and I love the way it delights my taste buds with that pure taste of Kerala. And I love the way I eagerly wait for Mahabali , yes I didn't lose that childlike spirit to believe, trust and learn from stories and also to be happy & excited at the news that someone I knew only from stories is all his way to visit me. But these are all something which I can connect with Onam at home. Onam celebration actually start from office which will be conducted one or two days before Tiruvonam and from then we will be in full vigor

Standing at the sea side, in a corner so lonely, Far-off the woods and beside the tumbling waves, My mind compels me often; to go forward, To move bold, with my dreams, Leaving behind those crying emotions, Detaching myself from the burdens, Of all the burns that my heart has gone through!

Writing is my job, it's my passion and it's my hobby. I find solace in writing down my thoughts roaming inside my head or else they would intrude my peaceful living which is more spiritual and imaginative inside. It is rather a cathartic act that eases me up and when everything is written down, it is peace inside out. It has been like this, since the time I could quilt words and frame sentences.  But then, it was rather a secret process, where I would hide my notes away from the sight and side of others.  It’s not easy to filter out the zillions of thoughts bubbling out of the slowly flowing emotions. Sometimes there can be wonderful ideas which need the ultimate attention and care. If I am not turning down the not so serious kind of ideas, the ones that should be churned out will get mixed up and you know what will happen; I would lose them forever or me, myself, would need to do a rescue mission out of the total chaos to rediscover them!  I k

I was somewhat sleepy by the time we reached there though it was beforenoon. It was so sunny that without my sunglass I couldn't clearly see anothing; my eyelids were flickering.  But the breeze was fully loaded with moisture. There were so many goats and sheep grazing in the grass. When they saw us they took a pause from their sumptuous ritual. Another small cute island like place was found adjoining the dam area, surrounded by the water reservoir.    It looked like an abandoned park. Here’s a picture from that venue. When I climbed those steps, I felt like “I'm reaching near the clouds”, but a few steps were missing!!! When I looked back, the clouds were rushing near, as if they had to attend some guest. It was so beautiful to watch the surroundings from up above the steps that I didn't feel like coming down! We had a good time there and by the time we visited other more attractive places we happened to forget this smal

It’s been a while now, that I am in friendship with her; the little cute Tulasi plant  (holy Basel ) . I happened to notice her during a summer where we were suffering from the kind of drought which I never had experienced before. We had to fetch water and take it to our house. Thank God, for the big office cab we had! We were praying to the rain god to shower life on us! Everything was dried out; plants and grasses were already dead and only big trees survived. I was always taught to worship Tulasi.  Apart from that I always had a special affection and love for her. She gave me the first-aid to a centipede’s bite which I had to go though, many times in my life and many a time as a relief to my breathing problem when I get cold. There’s no disease that she couldn't cure and she always blessed me with her magical cure whenever I wanted. As you know, she is the best home remedy for anything and everything. Now seeing a little Tulasi plant gett

Many are asking me why I am not relocating my work life from Kozhikode. And it’s a question I also thought about some time ago. And once; two years before to be exact, I stepped out of this location (it’s a techno/ industrial park) in search of a new place. I was actually fed up with the work life here. I believe in all those cosmic powers that got me back to the same place but in a different company which made me change all my beliefs about this particular sector where there are so many companies working more or less in the same style and work culture. I was so disappointed about how employees are valued & treated and how their talents are utilized. I believe that it's the employees who makes a company and so their happiness matters a lot.  I should say that the current company where I work at has all those I wished for or anyone like me (who doesn't have that luxury of going home daily after work) wishes for; be it accommodation, cook,

When someone called me from Blogadda telling there’s an activity running on it called, “Is laundry only a woman's job?” and if I would like to participate, the first thing that came to my mind was an incident that irritated me the most. I have been thinking about writing about it and now by seeing the statistics by AC Nielsen, I think I should write about it since it proved right from my experience. I have always felt some kind of (sometimes passive)gender bias everywhere except my home. But when I came to know that women are treated in equal even at their home I felt really bad. I was once traveling with my colleagues and while chit chatting, one guy asked everyone which washing machine is better within his budget which he specified. He continued telling that his sister got married and his mom is all alone so he don't want her to do his works too and so he wanted to buy a washing machine since it would at least lessen her laundry work at home. Spontaneously, the other guy

As I had told in my previous post I was kind of a loner kid and I found happiness in the company of all the things around me; both living and non-living. People used to laugh at me when I happened to tell them that I talk to ants, plants and other beings which live in our world and lead a very different life style. May be as a kid I was imagining those then. Oopz! This is not what I was about to tell. I am here with another story. Yes, I used to suffer from sinusitis and frequently had check ups. But my condition was the same. One day things seemed like everything was cured and after few days again I fell sick. It was at that time a new doctor came to our place and soon I booked an appointment. After suffocating in the rush crowd, I happened to get in when my token was called out.  The doctor smiled at me. I didn't smile back; I remember. He started asking about my personal details (like where I studied, my grade, my ambition etc.) and then the details of my illness.
