Myriad of Thoughts…
The Conversation
The lady came by and said, ‘Sister, do you know how to reach Parrys from here?’ [For those who don't know, it is a locality in Chennai]
‘Am not sure which bus stop, but most 7 series would take you there.’ said the girl.
She said, ‘No sister, I want to know how to walk there.’
When the girl said ‘Oh, you can’t walk that far – it is quite far from here,’
the lady said ‘I have to meet my brother-in-law and I don’t have money for the bus, so I have to walk…’
So, the girl gave her money for the bus fare…
The lady was thanking her – ‘That’s ok’ the girl said and the lady thanked her again and started walking faster.
A couple of steps ahead, the lady said ‘Don’t mind, sister? I am going to meet my friends first. I’ll then go to my brother-in-law’s place… don’t be angry, huh?’
Of course the girl wasn’t angry – just that she wonders every now and then, why this lady said that – just being honest?

The word that does not always get a responseThe word that does not always get the right response I wonder why, I wonder how, I wonder what made you think the way you didI wish I knew, I wish I had the answer.But, there are things beyond comprehension. I wonder if I will ever know!

Each one of us today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing help, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help closest to us. Either we don’t know what part of ourselves

I follow the night Can’t stand the light When will I begin To live again? One day I’ll fly away Leave all this to yesterday What more could your Love do for me? When will Love be through with me? Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends One

For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upen that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. – William Wordsworth A well-known poem, The Daffodils, was one of the poems I read in class

Yes, here’s one more nostalgic post! The first milestone was 1 year in Hyd – yes, Jan 8, 2006 was the day I landed in Hyd wondering what I’ve gotten myself into, doubting my sanity, my ability to cope, and wishing I had stayed back in the great land of Chennai! And then, days flew

It was the day before Christmas – Chennai was decked up, carols and Santas everywhere…the bus stopped at a signal and I saw this Santa in front of a shop – complete with a mask and an obviously artificial bulging belly. I couldn’t help but wonder what was running through the mind of the man
