What is life?


My son came to me
and enquired what is life,
Though it was a shock for me
But I tried to let his info thrive.

(Me) Life sometimes is a joyride,
Sometimes like walking on knife,
Enjoy it with what all you have,
Coz there will be a time when you will get your wife.

(Son) I don’t agree the way it sound
I see you most happy when mom is around,
(Me) My son, whatever glitters is not gold,
Everything you experience is always 2 fold.

(Me) Everybody has his share to suffer
And yes you are right I cannot live without her,
To keep her happy I ought to pretend
Otherwise I’ll face questions to which there will be no end.

Balance is the name of the game
She is also putting 100% and deserves the fame,
(Son) Its getting confusing and nothing is clear
(Me) let me ask my father and get back to you dear.

(Son) Does that mean you yourself don’t know
(Me) It will take time you got to ride slow,
Each day this life will show you new aspect
That’s how it unfolds and you ought to respect.

Come with your problems and I’ll solve I hope
But defining the life as whole is out of scope.

The Silent Letters

Image
English is a great language. It has got compassion and credit for everything and tries to respect even unwanted alphabets by giving them the privilege of being “Silent”. These letters don’t have any existence when we utter the respective word but you dare not miss them in spellings while writing due to their inevitable ego.
It’s like being in merit list though one keeps on attending the school like a statue without any need to raise hand or answer anything or take any exam.
These silent letters do exist metaphorically in real world in form of real people. Have you ever noticed that there are few employees who keep flowing with other employees throughout the year (silently) and suddenly becomes stars in appraisal ratings as if it would be whole wrong without their profound existence!
If we consider an Indian orthodox family, these letters remind me of male kids who are there just to enjoy utter freedom to be wherever they want, do whatever they want without any individual responsibility …

Traffic in Delhi

Image
Commuters in Delhi are not just commuting in their vehicle, it’s a race of pride and honor for them. It’s the time which is governed by adrenaline rush, it’s the time to show one’s mettle while moving on high dose of anger and hatred. We are the fighters on the road with all set to take on in a blink of the eye.
I join this race every morning while moving towards my workplace. You dare not overtake any other vehicle as for them it’s a challenge they accept graciously with the motto to leave anyone else behind as you are literally demeaning their driving skills by the act.
As soon as one grabs the driving seat, the hatred for the red color lamps is inevitable in their eyes because a warrior knows no boundation. But then have to stop staring fanatically on these red lights with grudge due to presence of law saviors. And it’s worse if the one is not in the front row. The front rowers doesn’t care about when its turning green as it’s the duty of the followers to bring it to his notice by ra…

Shopping with Wife

Image
When I was bachelor, shopping for me was to go to my regular shops (a couple of them), select the stuff which catches my eye, pay and leave within max 15 minutes. And that’s how it still works if I am shopping without my wife.
Shopping with the wife has opened my eyes to an analytic, economic, gradual process of scrutinizing the plethora of options available. I am really bedazzled by her knowledge of colors. My shade-card, I could count on my fingers; but her color list needs a hefty hard-drive to store it. There are many colors which I didn’t know and yet can’t pronounce well!
While shopping, I act as an assistant as she might ask whether I like the stuff or not. It’s not that she wants to go with my decision. She uses me when she had made the chaos out of the well maintained shelves in the shop and now wants to try (read it as ruin) some other shop for more options. What she does is that she asks me “What do you think about this stuff?” while making an uninterested face (which is the…
