With Love from the Twin Towers


I don't know how to react or express my happiness. This is the first time I am on a solo trip to KL. Here I am sitting down pretty in front of the Petronas Towers. I thought I would skip it. But the moment they came across my sight, I knew this is the charm of the city I can't just ignore like that. During daylight, it bears a dry or somewhat boring vision. But there is a charm too. I can see tourists go crazy to take selfies from every possible corner. The KLCC Park looks smaller to call it a park. At least to me. But you go to any corner of the park, the Twin Towers will sneak their way out. Children are quite happy playing in the park. Others are couples trying to enjoy a quiet and early evening. There are a few photography enthusiasts (like me!) taking their lenses to the best possible corners and edges. A few are there to jog. Thank Goodness, I see them around. I am planning to do directly to Cafe Kathmandu from here. A good early dinner will be great. But I guess I will need to buy a few munch-ons for my late night indulgence. I think I need to rest as I will go to the visa center early morning and then maybe to Pavilion if I get time. Grabbing a movie will be a good option. Let's see what takes me through. For the time being, I am done with jogging and walking for the day. Needless to say, I enjoyed every bit of it. Now, it's time to go back to my favorite eatery and then to the hotel. A happy and fruitful Sunday indeed.

Clips of Emotions

Clip 1: The Ocean The ocean is calm and quiet. The shades of blue are clearly visible even from afar. The occasional noises are of the speed boats whooshing every now and then along with the sea planes. Finally, I got to be on the swing I have been eyeing since Day 1 of my Maldives trip. A fisherman hunk is busy getting the blue fish that intrigued my curiosity and amazement to the core. He showed me his catch, got 5 big ones so far. The huge cargo ships are the only ones stagnant. And the hunk's impressive hat swung from one corner to the other along with the breeze. Clip 2: The Night I am sitting by the Rasfannu beach again. But it's 9.45 at night. The whole of Male city is a sprawling party site at night. The roads at night are more crowded with much more traffic than during daytime. The speed boats are moving normally even at this odd hour. The barbecue spots by the beach are now occupied with grilled fish. I can smell all of it in the air. The night comes alive with ...

Two Different Faces

As I am about to pen the two different faces, I can clearly visualize them in my mind. Their faces remained very prominent in my heart. These faces belong to two mothers - two very different mothers from different cultures, societies and times. But both faces portray a common entity - the image of a mother. They portray two different worlds, two different extremities. And I respect them with all my heart and soul. The first face is that of a young mother in her late 20s. This was way back in the 1980s. She is my mother. I was maybe around 7 or 8 at that time. We two were on a short trip to my maternal uncle's place. We stayed there for just two days and with a heavy heart I had to accept my mother's decision to return home. Heavy heart because I always liked the idea of visiting my cousins there (they are my favorite cousins after all) and staying with them as long as possible. Any stay there was never enough for us to be done playing with. So my cousins and I would start ...

He: Excerpts from Faded Diary Pages (2)

An autumn afternoon maybe: She has no clue why she feels exactly the same way she used to feel when she felt. Not a thing about it has changed at all. Why would she have this emotional attack every now and then? No, she is not blaming him or anything as such, not even her own self. But she really wants to know why it is how it is right now. It is indeed suffocating something inside her. Is it felt across with the same intensity as well? She needs to know because it can't just happen to her alone, she believes strongly about it. There has to be something mutual. It can't be nothing in vain. She saw an angular picture with a professional camera focusing on something, or someone maybe. She could feel those hands. She could feel the gentle strikes of those fingers. She could feel that touch. She could feel that feeling. Why wouldn't it fade away into oblivion? There is pure negligence and intentional indifference, or maybe natural. Yet that feeling doesn't just die. What w...
