Word'less' wednesday - Tulsi pooja

Tulsi pooja setup - in our banglore home

The picture above was taken few weeks ago. Tulsi pooja is one of the festival that normally comes after Diwali and is celebrated in most part of southern karnataka. As far as I remember this was the first time I missed celebrating this small pooja  with my mom in our home town. Now that I am living with my wife home away from home, we celebrated it in even smaller way, in the most congested area of our balcony :)

Fading childhood...

It was 12’o clock when I woke up last Sunday (thanks to the night shift on Friday)and heard my wife already in the kitchen, may be preparing something for lunch. With great difficulty, I dragged myself out of the bed. My feet refused to stand on the floor, as the tiles were still cold. Sudden rush of blood started flowing throughout my body as I felt early morning fainting sensation, though I had slept for really long hours… I started cursing and blaming the night shift and the kind of work I have been doing in the last few days. Some sort of frustration and disgust had already started developing in my heart as I entered kitchen to see what my wifey had prepared for the lunch. When I was sipping tea with some wooziness in the balcony, I heard some strange music (or shall I say ‘noise’ of the drum). I was about to complain about that too, (as I was in a great mood of complaining about anything and everything) I was stuck by what was happening on the street! A small girl in her early chi...

"Is it a dream or..." ... part1

After a long, hard day… all I wanted is a sound sleep. It was already 10PM and I had nothing to fill my tummy since lunch. I didn’t feel like preparing anything as I was too tired. However, my hungry stomach didn’t let me sleep. I strolled into the kitchen to see if there is anything. Then I quickly prepared omelet with those sleepy eyes. I was so hungry that, I stuffed it into my mouth, almost chocked myself in a hurry. Once I was satisfied, I went straight to the bed. I got sleep in no time… **** “Hi Sunil…” , an elegant lady stopped me with a smile. I had never seen her before. How does she know my name? “Hi…ah..”   I was about to say something before she cut me short. “ wondering who am I? well, you don’t know me Sunil. But I know everything about you.” Is it? And how is that, and why are you saying all this. Is this a trap or something? Where am I? I started wondering. “don’t think too much Sunil. I am your friend and I am not here to hurt you. And this is not a trap” she gig...

You and I.... (part 1)

*Words in Italics are the thoughts going in the character's mind...  He: (dude, 2 years now. You still want to wait!) Hi, so ah, what do you want to have? (that’s not I was talking about you dumbo!) She: Ah, let me see. (God! Seems like he has a plan! I am feeling so uncomfortable. * blush * * blush *… oh stop it gal. Don’t show any sign) They ordered some food. While they were waiting, there was some unusual silence. Normally, they would speak endlessly. (Ok, the gal speaks more without a break.) But today, there was something else going in their head. courtesy  pixton.com   He: ( man, this sucks! Why are you not speaking anything. Wait a minute, even she is not speaking. This is the chance buddy, you better have some progress!) So, long time ah. How’s everything going. (Not bad... and please stop starring before she could read your thoughts. You know she is good in that!) She:  (Finally, got a topic!) Ah, nothing much. Everything is going good. Hoping to get ...
