Memories of School

Those long corridors
The morning bell
Wednesday prayers
Gossiping and passing notes
Sudden tests which never happened
Discussing first crushes over
Lunchboxes with yummy food
I yearn to live that carefree life yet again
But Alas....Its a memory
And a memory it will remain
Yet am glad i have a handful of u
To prove to my present
The much cherished past I have been thru
Love and Miss you all

As I browsed through my friends list i found a few of my school friends among them....I drifted into that age when I had no other worries than the Annual Exam....how simple life was...

I immediately sent this poem to all my school friends with whom i have spent almost 12 years of my life and whose friendship I will treasure forever...I belong to lucky few who have managed to fish out my mates from the different worlds they now belong to.....

We had one reunion last year and it was wonderful....the feeling of being with people who have shared those happy days is so different ....it makes one feel young again....recollecting memories together makes it all the more interesting and enjoyable....

Waiting to organise the next reunion and hoping I have more buddies coming in to rekindle the school kid in us....

PS. Memories - Music to my Mind...live each day joyfully so you end up have cheridhable memories.....in school we didn't have to try to make them joyful  ...but today it takes an effort.........will try

A Cuppa Tea

Can a woman...yes I said A woman get up from her office seat, walk down the stairs, cross the road, to the bunk kadai (the small tea stall) and drink a cuppa tea with a biscuit without being stared at?????????? No. I didn't try....and I don't have the guts to...but love to do that. Maybe at a restaurant or a cafe it would be fine ...now that's a slight relief ...since 10 years ago even that wouldn't  go unnoticed..... PS. The pains of being a South Indian Woman?

Learning to Love

Not many people in the world love you unconditionally...Atleast for me ..not many...I have realised that only my Amma and Acha have the unselfish love that even I cannot show as a parent to my child. I am blessed to have them as my parents and there isn't a minute in my life that I fail to understand that and be thankful for that. Unselfish Love is so so scarce and I have it in 2 ppl....I am guilty of being selfish even to those 2... out of sheer laziness that is... I find that they are very good human beings. They love without expecting to be loved...which is very very difficult in my case. I can't bear it when love isn't reciprocated. I can love an enemy or a stranger because I seek and find some good in every soul ...BUT I can't love somebody who knows me well if that person hasn't shown me instances of love or has shown me instances of hate.....I have the patience ....but for how long....there is a point when i tend to never forget the misdoing or undoings...
