Time

I lay on the bed with clothes strewn.
Crumpled and pushed in a bundle at the edge of the bed. The pilow over it

Inteha- Jagjit's latest album playing on the winamp - which had been captured lately by newly received Spanish and Italian numbers.

I was magically transported to my college hostel room.
Manish would play his Marasim with the Yellow bulb glowing in his corner of the room and he would be there.
Just there.

As if... inside the title track.... Haath Choote hai toh rishtey nahin choota karta...

It flashed back so vividly.
The campus roads
The hangouts....
The guys and the girls with whom we played what now seem like games only!
The rides on tractor-backs loaded with wheat or sugarcane.
Hot summers and "Tandoori Aloo Parathas with Lassi" at Bhola's Dhaba!
The the drowsy lectures that entailed where would be busy playing BULL-COW on paper to keep us awake.
The sights of fights during the exams and what followed....

My thoughts just flowed into the time that seemed like soothing simple music of the tracks playing.

The sms woke me out!

Our mind is an awazing thing for sure!

Amazing it is, this mind of ours...all it needs is a whiff of something, be it music, a fragrance, and it recreates the times gone by!

How have you been?

( after so many different posts which came and went away , I am writing a little about change) Do you know how much we change everyday!! And how much we potentially can.. Just a few fates Our body PHYSICALLY changes completely within a span of 10 days.( how, You may Ask?) The Atoms quantitative each and every cell of our body ranging from our blood cells, skin cells..Even our Bones CHANGE completely in a month. Which means , not only do they die and regeneraqte in their respective cycles, the material quantitative them is exchanged / changed with the outside world. ( Can you absorb the above line, its pretty awe striking) WHO are you?.. You have completely changed in a span of a month time.. ( Your hand.. Wash part of something/ someone else last onto) My belief about The Flux of our thoughts has been published here and here ! ( Though this may have come in another entry, but related) a SINGLE though in our mind.. POTENTAILLY ( and does so physically everyday) Creates a chemical.. phy

Life

Yeah even when u think all fits, you notice quite a few things dont. The latest curveball my boss threw during the appraisal, threw me in a spin. Why am I feeling again that I am not supposed to be in this job? And If I am not then,...what? Should I also move out of the city!!.. what to do..!! shoudl not spend a lot of time in putting the puzzle pieces, Maybe life is more of living the puzzle than making all the sense, maybe its someone else's job!!

This Day Then

Nervously along with my cousin sister, brother and along with some unknown people we were at this balcony looking across the Powai Lake. And this effervescent girl is also noticed around. Bright , bespectacled, with a pony-tail bobbing and wearing a bright kurta and jeans/capris. Before anyone could talk, The Teacher ushered us into what was a makeshift classroom. It was the house of one of uncles. The hall which had the balcony had durries spread across its length, with the Glass Dining table pushed in the the corner, the chairs laid around the walls. We were on the third day of the five day Art of Living program being organised at the house of one of the volunteers. All through the brief exercises of Yoga and discussions, apart from exchanging smirks with my cousins, I could not help notice the presence of the girl. At the end of the class, there was brief community snack/ dinner organised. It was late evening by the end of the class and amazing wind was ruffling in the balcony. I s
