The Signs

It's a stupid little game on my cell phone. I hardly play, but today I thought I should. Espcially when you know you are about to experience boredom, you should explore your smartphone, provided you have installed some game orapp in it. Period. I was fortunate enough to realize the ensuing boredom, and did the same as mentioned above. That's when I realized I have not played this game for a while. It's a simple puzzle game where you have to unblock the blocks to give way to the red block. The rules are simple: try out the possibilities and solve the puzzle. As I was playing the game, I could manage crossing the levels pretty soon. Soon the game became interesting, only to eventually make me realize that I had left boredom thousand blocks back. The moment the "You solved this puzzle!" message got flashed on the screen, I indeed felt a winning smile on my face. I know it's just an ordinary puzzle game. But it definitely told me how to read signs. The signs of unblocking the blocks, of chasing the boredom, of solving confusions, and coming out with a smile as bright as sunshine. Things may look difficult, but not as much as next to impossible. I am happy to read my signs. And I know I will come out smiling all the way throughout. Happy sign-reading!

The Vision

Everyone or most people have a bigger vision of the world in their mind. Right from childhood. Particularly children. As a kid, I too used to have a bigger vision of each and every thing I came across. Like the bamboo forest next to my grandparents' in our ancestral village. The forest was next to the river which passed by our house. Ours was the last house of the village and by the river. The forest seemed like a never-ending green, dark and damp wonderland with imaginary ghosts, fairies and witches as in the stories as I would hear from my grandmother. There was a weird sound of crackling bamboo whenever a breeze passed by. Or like the water-body in the backyard of our ancestral house where I used to row the boat - my boat - taking in all my young cousins. That moment I used to feel on top of the world sailing a boat, taking care of lives I am responsible for saving. The water-body felt like a sea. I could see water everywhere till my eyes could figure out around me. As I gr...

Reply to a Judgmental Stranger

Dear Mr. Stranger, Thank you for your words. As for records, I am just an ordinary, simple girl who sincerely believes in the honesty of feelings and tries to understand the practicality of life. I won't say I don't expect, because we humans can't even breathe in a puff of air without expectations in order to live what we call life. I value relations with sincerity and a strong sense of responsibility. For me, the most important investment is love. My life revolves around it. The most significant relation in my life is friendship, and I take sincere pride in the fact that I am fortunate to have earned some of the most trustful friends in life. So losing any of them will be the dumbest thing on my part. Now coming to your words, I'm grateful again for your advice. And I would say I would love to know you more. If you can't find me on Facebook, then you can give me your complete name and I would add you. That would be my pleasure to have you as a friend. Rest as I h...

How I felt when I felt (1): The champagne encounter

It's not the happily-ever-afters that bring magic but the trail of feelings that keeps coming back in the form of different encounters with different faces, binding stories after stories of the purest of feelings which are otherwise next to impossible for words to express. For me, that's the notion of a 'Hallmark romance'. For I know how I felt when I felt and it lives on forever without a pause or gap. In this series of shorter stories, I deeply wish to share some of those extraordinary encounters of forever young memories of how I felt when I felt. It was a winter evening. All the roads were beginning to be covered with more frequent snowfall. I was sitting alone, my feet relaxing on top of each other and my eyes fixated at the snowy window. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I opened it to find the new self-announced friend standing right there. He stood there with a bottle of champagne and a bag of chocolate balls. I guess he had bought them in the super-mart and headed...
