To the places you've always wanted to see,
To the person you want to be,
To the castles you've built in the air,
Have you given a moment to spare?
To the person you want to be,
To the castles you've built in the air,
Have you given a moment to spare?
What if you wake up and want differently one day?
What if Life chooses another way?
Carefully crafted plans in disarray.
No dreamy castles but a cottage to stay.
What if Life chooses another way?
Carefully crafted plans in disarray.
No dreamy castles but a cottage to stay.
Would you find joy in Life's voyage?
Or perhaps muster all your courage,
And go forth in search of belonging?
With us, our dreams constantly evolving.

What Summer Was, Once Upon A Time.
On cycles chasing rainbows,
Calling out through the windows,
The summer of my childhood,
Spent running round the neighborhood.
On strangers' rooftops and trees we climbed,
Setting up camp with new kids we could find,
Games of our kind, rules to put others in a bind,
Not knowing what was 'peace of mind'.
Picnics and silly pranks at the park,
Ludo and other board games after it grew dark;
Rasna and candies on the good days,
Ice-creams for the occasional Sundays.
Tinkles and Champaks surprised us every fortnight,
Summer specials were our only birthright!
Penpals and other strange experiments under the sun.
We never realised that it was truly fun.
New Arrivals.
Hope and mischief in their eyes,
They're here to explore the world,
With unsteady feet planted on the ground,
These toddlers are blissfully unconcerned.
With a heart filled with pure love,
Babbling in their own native tongue,
They're here to grow on this Earth
Where humanity is in dearth.
Perhaps we shall awaken at last,
Maybe we can change the bleak forecast,
May we work together for better days,
May we leave this world as a better place.
March has been a rollercoaster for literally everyone across the globe. What began with morning gym, afternoon badminton and evening walks or aerobics was also accompanied by spontaneous attempts at cooking and art. There was the college visiting session of IG, BMC and MMC.
Here are a few samples of my creations this month.
The next 3 weeks shall feature posts on life in times of a pandemic as it happens. Here's hoping that we emerge unscathed and stronger at the end of this.
Cheers,
J
