Twist of Life

Life has twists and turns and scores of surprises and shocks in store. For a person to have started a career in Hospitality services and ended up as an Admin. Manager in an Engineering Company is merely by chance may be a tall claim, but that is the truth. People like me will always be carried by the tides of twists and turns and face a lot of shocks. On the other hand, those with a scheme in front an ambition to fulfill will move in a single stream with a definite goal and destination.

 

But, what the hell!! Both get on with their lives with a moderate level of achievement. Well, that might depend on what you consider achievement. Even so, I feel my path is ok, because we don't need to be on guard and have any goals whatsoever. Also one doesn't have to be stuck to the same routine always. I for one enjoyed being a squeeky smart travel executive for the time I was employed thus. Then there was a longer stint as marketing / sales executive, which too gave me lots of thrill and greater chagrin to many others. For a decade I worked as a teacher and now this.

Looking back I feel I have learnt a lot of trades, tricks of the trade and never got bored by the monotony. I don't think many will share my enthusiasm.

Baba I miss you.. .

BAABAAAA . . .  Such a small and cuddly human,  yet so strong!  Baba, you were so tender  and so, so soothing.  I miss you terribly.  Wherever you are. You were there when we needed.  You just gave and asked for nothing.  Now you are gone,  I feel a part of me has gone too. In my youth I was horrible,  yet you accepted me,  when others were critical, You gave me hope! What have I given you?  Nothing!  I couldn't even come to your death bed  and cremation. How I try to solace myself, saying you are so understanding;  and will not hold grudge. But I feel guilty and helpless  and angry at myself,  for losing such a precious person  from my life . . .  forever . . .  Wound may heal, memories may fade,  I don't know. But the world without you will be  So much morbid and loveless. That I know.

Educate Him

Wake up Rohan, wake up; today you’ve a test! He eats up Calculus and Calorimeter in good jest, Chews on mundane axioms one, two unto five And belches theorems of geometry dead and alive. Rohan moves to school in nonstop research and reveries, Of his tutors with monstrous knowledge from mortuaries. Oh! Does his face turn turtle or purple? Of course not gentle As he taps, the electronic face spews out data that startle! He ponders o’er not so green a “Green Revolution”! He is rushed to the Pink City o’er the deep blue Ocean He learns of blue litmus that turn rancid with acid And suffers lessons on Yellow Fever and how things go placid ‘Rohaan’ calls the French Madam and goes on to grill On this and that and history of *Courville She checks her watch set on patterns o’ Conjugation And, yells to the class to take her petite translation The great India history is a funny story The boiling point of Hydrogen below Zero degree!
