Lady in love!

She was pretty excited at the prospect of travelling across the 1900 odd kilometres.

Its not like she had never been there, but this time, it was different! She was a different person now! Completely transformed. She had that spring in her step, that dazzling smile and those radiant eyes that no beauty treatment can bring!

She would be on her way in a few minutes and she couldn't help but imagine the amazing time she will have once she reaches there! She was already imagining the hug she will get and the smile she would see on his face the moment he spotted her! His embrace was where she longed to be. She never wanted to let go!

Its has been just about ten sundays since they had first met. It seemed like many lifetimes had elapsed! She could just sit and look into those honest ever smiling eyes for hours at end listening to him recite tales from the twenty eight years of his life, he always had so much to speak and he could make her laugh till her sides ached!

His dreams were now her dreams, as for hers, they could wait. She had worked hard to be what she was today, but would give it all up, just to be with him.

That trip was immensely fulfilling. She came back with her heart full of the sweetest memories! On the night before she flew back, she stayed up...sat beside him and simply looked at him sleep. He was innocence personified, almost childlike as he slept. In her heart of hearts, she somehow knew it will not last...his world was totally different from hers. Almost everyone who knew him wrote it off. But she believed in him. She hoped he would never let her go. He would always be there, right beside her, holding her hand and gently guiding her. Cracking silly jokes and laughing with her. Wiping away those tears when she cried, holding her close whenever she was tired.

She hoped.

She went to bed. Lay awake with her head on his shoulder, a palm on his chest...feeling that steady heart beat...praying that time would stand still...hoping that he would awaken and tell her that in his arms was where she belonged.

Complications 'acche hotey hain'!

Life hurls these weird complications at you sometimes, when feel trapped, between the devil and the deep blue sea. Thats when you need to take a leap of faith! And thats when you realise if those whom you have depended upon, catch you or just watch you drop into the abyss. And that is why sometimes, complications 'acche hotey hain'  That is one helluva silver lining, I tell you!

HYD!

I wish i could take you to that place in jubilee hills whr we used to spend all our winters! The mess...the cricket...the rangolis...the fruit juice and the dosa and the new year eve parties wid the attendants of patients admitted thr! The trips to charminar market, buying trinkets and junk jewellery...the colourful bangles! The 'sewaiyya', the smell of preparations for iftar! Pehir ghr at Banjara hills and the drives with peha, looking for ice cream at night, after dinner. The ride in peha's Cielo was what i cherished more thn the ice cream! Secundrabad station, vijaywada...that pungent smell typical to trains! Tarmarind rice at Balasore...the amazingly huge chilka lake, poorie sabjee at kharagpur...travelling second class on the return journey upto howrah, every year. Mom's idea, she loves second class and has handed that down to me! I love hyderabad and all the memories associated with our journeys to that city! Everything, from the museums to the parks and the hospi...

Well this is my first attempt at blogging...not much of a writer. I am a journalist actually, I work in a news channel. I landed up at News Live as a reporter even before completing my Grads. Its what I always wanted to do. I love the speed of the Electronic Media , you have to work and work and work and it has to be accurate 'cause you don't get much time to cross check. My folks are damn proud of me and I hope to do whatever I can, do my bit for my society, for my people through my work, that will surely make Ma and Papa swell with pride. It is a really nice feeling when you make a story on an orphan blind kid and some well off people call you up to ask if they can sponsor his eye operation! But there are drawbacks too, like, when you get some footage of illegal migrants being moved out of their settlements after repeated warnings by the authorities and when you come back, ready with a script singing praises of the authorities, you are asked to make a story on the inhumanity ...
