I feel like writing something from the past….well here it goes
When I was in my 5th grade, I had this terrible pain in my ear. On the first day I was accompanied by mom to the doctor( though I never liked going to places with my parents, as they always found me misbehaving and had to spank me mid-way). The next day I was to go alone, was not really happy about it(contradicting my own want to soothe the ear pain), I rode my bicycle to the doctors place which was nearby, half the way I met my friend, who appeared to be very cheerful and enthusiastic. He had a rectangular box wrapped in a fancy paper with pink and white flowers on it. He exclaimed that it was like a dream come true moment for him. On being asked what it was, he replied, “this is something your father will never let you even have a look at, owing to your school record”, well that comment made me frown. Nevertheless, frowning was swiped away from my face instantly, with the overwhelming curiosity. I grew impatient and went with him to his house, in his room we sat and stared at the box, after a while his mother came in and asked us to open the package. It was a rush of excitement. The moment he opened the box, I was the one to shout in awe….it was a marvel gadget, which I always dreamt of (I later got bogged with it, as I got it when I was in 7th). It was the 8 bit Contra game set, my friend was not as excited as I was, and I played for half an hour (moment of ecstasy for a 10 yr old). Suddenly I realized that I had to go to the doctor, I stood up and stuffed all the snacks in my pockets and rushed to my cycle. Happily and merrily, yet in fright of the scolding from my dad, I rode in the crowded street like a super-hero. Again, on my way I saw a wedding procession - processions with music and dancers always fascinated me. I could stand and stare the walking talking stage for hours together, while I was enjoying the thumping beats, Sunderan uncle (my neighbor), saw me, he was a fat stout fellow, he moved with great force towards me, amidst the noise I could see him marching towards me, but I was lost in the thunder beats. He came to me tweaked my ears saying, “why do I always find you roaming, I need to talk to Mr. Jose”, I was dead scared. He asked me to go home immediately, in sheer fright I ran towards home, but later I realized it was already 8, and mom must be worried. I was determined to see the doctor at any cost or else the long dirty stick(chooral) will ease my back. I rode in a haste to the hospital, I was already late and the doctor went home; there was a lady (I still don’t recall if she was a doctor or a compounder). I told her everything; my ear and what took me so long, she asked me to relax, she went inside-a small cabin behind the doctor’s table- and came out with a small packet of small white cute little tablets. I asked her if she was sure about the medicine, she told me that doctor had directed her to do so. I went home with the tablets, got scolding for being late. I made an innocent face by saying that the hospital was crowded (I was good at fabricating long stories even then (born liar)). After I had my dinner, I gulped the medicine and slept peacefully. After few hours, I sensed a growling inside my stomach, felt like someone was crunching my stomach, I rushed to my mom, woke her up…My whole night was spent in the toilet.

Rain
Rain itself is an emotion, which I and you have in our lives
Rain is a celebration for some,
While it mourns for some,
We wish it could end all the sorrows, yet it stays in our lives
The pasture in a farm oozes with lush greenery after the rains,
The concrete jungle is wiped out of all its malice after the rains,
Life before rain was dry and desolate
Life after rain is gay with the gifts of nature
Walking in the rain is a pleasure for all,
The splatter of delight on the bodies
Are like spears for some,
And for some they are the sparkling pearls of salvation
Some enjoy the rains, without fearing its cost
But some fear it and miss the splash of happiness
Under the pretext of epidemics
Love blossoms amidst the downpour of crystal
Rain washes out the houses of the poor,
It bestows wealth to those with acres of land
It kills many, but helps some
It is a normal routine for some, for some it’s an uninvited guest
Rain is a lullaby; it is subtle like a mother’s song
It is an end to the desperate wait of a lover, so long
It soothes million hearts and quenches the thirst of the soil
Rain cleanses our sins, and sanctifies our souls

Random Thoughts
Life : is a narrow stream. It takes you everywhere, from the mountains to the plains; from the forest to the farms. It changes its shape wherever it goes and at the end rests in the bosom of the Ocean. An ocean may be called the home for many other water bodies, similarly our lives are also like the stream. It travels everywhere and ends in death: salvation the ocean. We all are born from nowhere and die unknown.
10 June 2009, I turned 21, the journey from birth till the 21st year was a roller coaster ride. I have outgrown myself throughout these years. There had been happy moments and sad ones. For me each moment and every new event were like a celluloid dream, I can visualize the things of my past and also sometimes learn things from them. I thank almighty for all the good reasons as well as the bad ones. I am grateful to him for all the tribulations that I underwent during the course of time. He made me think and overdo actions beyond my capabilities. I have seen millions of faces and heard millions of words. It’s amazing that no two beings are alike in this world. It should be an honour for each man to be made uniquely by the master. I have learned many things in my life. Learning helps us to build our outlook towards life and at 21, I feel like being 41. My wisdom is because of my curiosity and unending thirst for developing new ideas.
Friends: I have millions of friends. Now that the world is becoming smaller I have started getting friend requests from other ends of the world. Thanks to all the social sites and mutual friends. Friends are an important aspect for our growth both mentally and socially. However it can be hazardous at times when you have lot of friends to love and live with.

My first poem
Some say I’m fool, some say I’m flamboyant
For some I’m right, for some I’m wrong
All they say is I’m like a happy song
I don’t know much about myself
All I know is my idiotic self,
They say I’m a species so rare,
As am too bizarre for them to bear
I have many friends to mention and brag about
But there is hardly a handful that I care about,
My name is what makes me stand out of the crowd,
I’m the change, there’s no stopping for my voice so loud,
Life is too normal; I strive hard to make it special
No matter how much you torment me,
You will always see my cheeky smile so real,
I am full of irregularities as I know there is no fun in leading a regular life
MY LIFE IS SAME AS THOSE UNEVEN LINES ABOVE,
Regardless of however it is, I enjoy each moment and every bit of the memories that I have treasured.

Happy New Year
After the long 12 months finally the last day has arrived …
We are at the threshold of new hopes and aspirations
Let us forget travails of the past and rejoice the new beginning
The past year was a gala of events, it witnessed brutal killings, unison of the nations to fight terror.
Lets hope to sing a hava nagilla(lets rejoice-Hebrew) in the coming year….
