Atha : Returning to the Now

In continuum to the previous post � the serious part of it

The green hay prettily nods her head to get my attention. Like that girl fresh into puberty eager for men to look at her in awe. I am awed, my dear, by your freshness, by how tender you look, how alive and how happy you are by your birth and age. But I cannot helpContinue reading "In continuum to the previous post � the serious part of it"

when wishes are fulfilled

(c) Anita Satyajit 2005 It was culmination of desires accumulated carefully over years. The desire to move beyond what skill I have got slotted into and move into the platform where I get to do something that might add more meaning into people�s lives. Working on the script last week I wrote, �When food isContinue reading "when wishes are fulfilled"

I’m in Love

I am so much in love. With his cute little hands and the way they are always curled and closed as though he is scared someone is going to read his hands and read his future, his eyes which show recognition when he suddenly smiles at me, at his cute little stomach that goes flatContinue reading "I’m in Love"

just one line

growing up too fast sometimes keeps us still in the childhood. And its says all. I know its precisely what has happened to me where many emotions are concerned. I was in the midst of writing a long blog when J said this. I sometimes feel like cut pasting every single one of our conversationsContinue reading "just one line"

Delhi is not far away

it really wasnt. ( the title goes after a novella by Rushkin Bond, cant remember the story though). A long standing dream finally came true. I travelled by myself for the first time ever. Na, to word it better though I have travelled by myself many times, I had my first experience living alone inContinue reading "Delhi is not far away"

The long Awaited Vacation (Shirdi)

Shirdi. It was a fantabulous journey. We went through proper rural Maharashtra, Maharashtra as it is (minus the frills and fancies of Bombay and Pune). Small huts, fields, streams and temples. If you thought that poverty existed only in cities, you need to think again. The fate of small and marginal farmers is as pathetic.Continue reading "The long Awaited Vacation (Shirdi)"

The Long awaited vacation (Daulatabad & Ellora)

Daulatabad Fort: Magnificent! It was the first time I was seeing such a well preserved fort. After seeing the ruined state of the other forts (Shivaji�s) I was pleasantly surprised to see such a well maintained fort in the same state. Did make me think about how the ASI could pay as much attention toContinue reading "The Long awaited vacation (Daulatabad & Ellora)"

The long awaited vacation ( Ajanta)

I cherish the act of travelling. It just makes you move beyond yourself. Reach out into the minds of others, teach you that what you think of as your life and what you attach importance to is a small part of this seamless universe. End of last month, start of this month I went toContinue reading "The long awaited vacation ( Ajanta)"

move on

We play games sometimes With ourselves, our hearts With the person we love most Or the one we love least� We lose ourselves always With the one who owns us With the one who shows us Life is difficult without him� We believe in life With our love we strangle the mind With our hopesContinue reading "move on"

hmm

I want to savour the unsavoury, love the unloved, cherish the ignored and caress the untouched. Sometimes I want to move beyond my mind and its self imposed boundaries and see what is truly human. I want to go embrace all that I shirk from, only to break my own ego and my own barriers.Continue reading "hmm"
