Will let you go

-
Stranded to a storm
Tired, amazed, mesmerized, torn
I looked at the flowing river
Flowing full to the shore and quiver
Cutting it, taking pieces along
Yet shore is quiet
"I am that shore"

Stood there
I gazed at a pearl nearby
Shining, like,
someone in my memory
In memory, of April
And the storm
Made me dizzy
Yet amazed
I stood helpless
"I am that helplessness"

The sky kept roaring bravely
Yet not giving a single drop
Seemed greedy,
like a bad monarch
Below on the tarred land, I stood
Looking at his darkening anger
Anger, but no rage, powerless
"I am that anger"

I looked at my weight,
My shivering hands
'Would you not hide yourself from me?'
I asked myself
What, today, that you make me feel
Alone and lonely, yet not empty
No one, but someone
"I am that no one"

I closed my eyes
I looked at the non-empty emptiness
I kept gazing inside
It was not dark
I had to swim deep
Finally
Frequented with a smile
Calm
I surrendered to...
the storm inside me
My memories
"I am those memories"

And one day
Standing on the departing shore
Accepting my helplessness
When, sky, would you rain
Clenching the 'no one'
I will let my memories go
What will thus remain?
Your fragrance
"I am that fragrance"

Our visit to Shanti Bhavan - Nagpur

Today we visited an old age home - Shanti Bhavan, Mother Teresa Ashram in Nagpur. The realization that there are complicate things happening around us was clearer today. The ashram has around 160 old age and disabled people living there. Ashram is doing great in terms of taking good care of the people. There are people in Nagpur who are visiting to the Ashram in most Sundays just to take care of the people for an hour or two, as for example I met a surgeon today, he told me that he visits here every Sunday to take care of the cleanliness of the oldies. My Experience Today? It was good. There are innocent people who are abandoned from their family. This ashram is taking care of them. I felt real proud in been engaged with such an NGO group and to those who are responsible for my upbringing that I am able to take decision & spend my time here, here with these people. At first I was just standing outside of the ashram, I had little idea of what is inside, what is the environ

Bring the kid or not

-
My friend who just gone through a full pregnancy and delivered a cute kid, once quoted me a question, “Rohit, why should I bring a child into this sad & cruel world. I am scared and feel responsible for the kid”. I had no answer then and more so even today I am still in the vague. My god, pregnancy is tough for some people. It’s not what it is we may think it is, ok, us bachelors. As a growing up kid in my little joint family, I have seen my aunts going through the processes. But, I was a kid then. I never knew that there are hormones which keep playing with your mind & your body. You could end up vomiting all day and feel crazy on your stomach. Depending on your case, you may have to keep visiting the doctors to get the regular healthy consultations. Adding some sugar, for some woman this is a simple process as well. There are those who remain unaware that they are 4 months pregnant! Anyway. I was passing by a regular street and I saw a young aged woman. She was pregnant and s

Ride and the Kalsubai Trek

It was a two-day trip from my stay at Mumbai. I drove in the evening a previous day. Having have rode my meteor a good 2500Kms, It was comparatively adjusting to ride 160km from Mumbai to the area near the peak. I have felt that if the trip is pre-planned, it helps you enrich your experience. There is so much more that we can explore and that does help us save time, energy and some money as well. I write with the same intention. Material carrying is important. Wearing bike accessories is essential for safety. This time while driving in the late hours, I felt that I should also carry items like pepper spray, a mat & torch. I carried a battery back up this time which made me feel safer, so to say. To remain ensured during the trip helps to enjoy better. I was calm due to it. I had put Kalsubai peak in the google map. Somehow I was going in the wrong direction. I had planned that I would find some tenting service nearby and sleep inside it during the night. I got to know t
