kindergarten...



A time in life...

...when a mother's voice is most reassuring after a bad fall,
...where everything touched has a life of its own,
...where one's a 'police' and there is no shortage of 'robbers',
...when a bucket of tears was the order of the day,
...when bugs bunny was an optimist and daffy duck a pessimist,
...when doctors sprang from hell and babies dropped from heaven,
...when rewards 'tasted sweet' and a swing ride gave one a high,
...when the teddy bear guarded all the secrets and kept the boogieman away while asleep,
...when dashing cars thrills and every frock had frills,
...when a carrot added and inch and a toothache cured by a sugar pinch,
...when innocence was at its peak!!

...when i thought i was right and you were wrong,
...when i was trying to be right and thought you were all wrong,
...when i was (actually) wrong, and you (mom and dad) were (always) right! :)

...why?


In the quiet stilnes that calms her soul,
It is death that is knocking at her door.
She paces up and down the banks,
It is restlessness and hunger pangs.


She sits beside an ignorant child,
Sunbathes her feet with a silent smile,
What pain she feels she cannot confide,
She is aware of 'him','he's ' always by her side.


She dawns a red shawl across her face,
And talks to others who share her fate.
"Why this oh lord? " , she speaks in fear,
"My disease consumes me, I plead, do hear"


But only time can tell , she'd have to wait.
Its death alone that has sealed her fate.
She holds onto life and braves the pain,
In time she will find peace and let go of life's reins...



After spending 2 days at a hospice for terminally ill patients , i realized that we often take our lives for granted.. The people there are aware that their death is eminent.. but its in those days, those last few days when they reflect on their lives, are surrounded by all the family members and showered with love, every last wish of theirs is fulfilled before they depart forever...
Why wait for situations such as these to get you to your senses, to remind u that every minute counts.. Its all about living in the moment...

....its TIME..

"The only reason for time is so that everything does'nt happen at once"


"Nannu!!! its 6:30!! TIME to wake up!! "...says my mom every other day of my life...! a time to eat, a time to sleep , a time to study..a time to do talk , a time to shut up , a time to loaf............... a time to do everything, excepting all the nothing in the world!!!!

................(.. hm.. )

so i started off on a bad note... maybe dats coz im so mad at the fact dat by the time i say "TIME",..one second... one precious second has drifted by... so silent.. so easily forgotten... so wat if i had picked up all the lost "seconds " in my life.... wat if i had put them in my piggy bank.. kept it in my savings account... withdrawn it with a credit card when i thought i was running out of "time".... maybe , just maybe.... i could have rewritten my wrongs, i could have said the necessary sorrys, i could have had more frends and less enemies, i could have used all those wasted weekends, i could have had more family time,.. i could have hugged my grandpa before he died...........


"time and tide wait for none".........javascript:void(0)

Time n i.. the twin sisters.. stuck together for life..she lets me experience happiness, sadness, love, pain...she is there when my soul needs to heal, to rejuvinate.. she makes the changes... she is the CHANGE... her presence encompasses me thru life..she makes me, she breaks me....all for the better.she gives me oppurtunities iv never dreamed off and takes me to places iv never been...


tick tick tick... shes chuckling at me :) i look up at the clock and she is smiling... its 10:!0...!!

...........

I am wat I am … because of wat iv done…time has driven me up the wall but left unforgettable experiences at hand…good or bad,iv learnt from them. I derive joy from the little things of life…I value the relationship I share wit my frends…..n foes to some extent(lol). I live a care free life and abide by my own rules.Iv been on the highways n byways. Been there, seen it! N now u ask me if there is nething more to this life.. id say.. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING BABY!!
