monsoonal memories

Rain drops falling on the tin roof
Frogs chorusing in the paddy fields
Insects singing in the green bushes
Little, big waterfalls, puddles, plunge pools all around
Thats the perfect monsoon of home
Green green....rain rain....nature nature!

Folk Wisdom


I bought a scooter few years back. Owing to my non adventrous nature and being somebody who had not even tried hands on a bicycle, I was dead scared to ride it. Still I set this goal to learn it soon but my nervousness was not letting me do that.

I started riding within my hostel, learned to balance and made a fair progress slowly. Still I was scared of driving on the main road and was not able to overcome this fear.

Few days later, I happened to talk about this with one of the attendants in our lab. This person himself did not know driving but made a pretty simple statement "Why are you afraid, You should be worried when you are walking. But when you are on a vehicle, you can go anywhere you want. The road is yours". These words instilled a new confidence in me. And well!!! ....I started to ride on the highway!

This is excatly what I call is "folk wisdom"

A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study. ~Chinese Proverb

Come winter.....


Winter is just around the corner
Drizzly days are just so nice
Oh how I miss home!

Wish I could just go back........
Could just go home!

Nostalgia

One day happy and glad we strode
To a village in deep Himalayan abode
Where apples blossomed....It was so beautiful to behold!
