ODE to the MEMORY LANE


I have a secret friend who lives with me all the time, who takes care, of all the times when I’m sad, of all the times when I feel lonely, of all the times when I’m fighting with a confluence with in my mind.
She sits back patiently taking me back to the times, when expressions flew genuinely, when people meant what they said and you didn’t have to get your mind all juggled up, deciphering the difference between what people said and what they meant.
And at all these times when mind is making a to and fro motion like a pendulum, this friend of mine comes at my rescue, taking me away from this to that world, from ultimate conflux to eternal peace. Even though the life has changed a lot here, still this friend of mine has preserved another life for me, there, in which I was an original version of myself, in which thoughts flew out swiftly and were received with acceptance and genuine criticism.
 As the times have changed, life was taken its form, from its imaginary version to the real one, there appears to be a huge conflict between the two.But this friend of mine, presents me with the talking moments, where pure thoughts flew all over the place and I was very much the part of the process. And each talking moment, inspires me to still be the same, as I used to be, even if the world presents the things to be the other way around a lot of times.
Through this writing I want to thank this friend of mine, whose name is “memories” and every single one of my friends, who have made “memories”, the friend of mine so strong that today, it is keeping me strong and making me stronger as the days pass by.

Melting Moments As this semester is passing away, I am actually a bit anxious about the life coming ahead and at the same time am a bit sad about the one am going to leave behind. Winding up has always been difficult for me, but this time it is going to be heart racking. This place has actually made me what I really am today . Met new people, who have now started defining my being, their presence actually define my fun, and their absence make me feel miserable at times. And suddenly I’m realizing that most of them will not going to be around anymore . It seems as if the movie is approaching its “the end” and a sequel is about to be released with a whole new set of characters and is going to be shot at a completely new place.   From my personal experience I have learnt that long distance relationships are difficult to maintain and it makes me a bit apprehensive about the changes in the configurations that are about to come. It seems as if an era has passed away but in...

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भ...
