A tale of LOVE

Rain, I always feel, expresses a tale of love –an incomparable ‘love story’ of Water and Earth. Somewhere in seclusion, they used to live together in their little flourished hut.

Only love bounded them, until fierce Sun desolated their world. They tried to fight him, to outwit him, to quash him.... but they were too dim against Sun's outrage. In the end, they had to concede defeat and Water was been caged. She began waiting at the gate of final frontier in  hope to be with her love one day.

Live and let live

"One, two and three!!"

Tinku reckons in glee.

Sweating over all day,

here comes his pay.

Three fishes, he has caught

More than enough, he thought!

Putting them in his basket,

he sets out for market.

He will sell them out.

He will make his mother proud.

Being Nobody

Let's begin with a cliche - I am a nobody who dreams of being somebody. I have fours elder brothers and one sister. And they have set a high bar of expectation for me.
Someone told me once "Being the youngest child in a family is like having luscious dinner at a five-star hotel every night." Well, it's not that cushy. I tell you why.
