“Rain Rain Go Away Come Again An-other Day” The son was plucking away at the notes on the keyboard. I recognized the nursery rhyme and said, Let’s sing it as : “Rain Rain Come Again We have had none To-day” He gave me a quizzical look, and started laughing. “Is this your words have meaning thing-y?” “Well…yes! … Continue reading “Clouds & Rain”
Long flights are a time for introspection and solitude. Maybe given how little I get of this precious time unconnected, and alone, I am doubly appreciative of these spots of solitude gifted to me. It is strange to think I am surrounded by sentient beings on a flight amidst the clouds. It was cramped being … Continue reading “The Chrysalis of Clouds”
Dear muscles, I am pleased that you have started doing well. To admonish the muscles that got me up there is cruel. Yet, it must be done. I did not like the way you jabbed when I straightened my legs, and tightened that way when I sat. I know I have been out of shape … Continue reading “A walk in the clouds”
I have no idea what people mean when they say talking about the weather is mundane. The disdain of, “Just talking about the weather!”, “I mean why not talk about the weather to kill time?” Apparently, Oscar Wilde said: “conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” It isn’t. It is marvelous. … Continue reading “Talking about the Weather”
The feeling of being unmoored, like being whisked around in a merry-go-round was still lingering in the air. The madness within seemed to be reflected in the madness outside too. I hung off the railing and stood like that for a few minutes. It can’t have been more than a few minutes. For the skies … Continue reading “The Madness and Serenity Within”

Now in wondering what to write, there was a strange sense of duty and an obligation to not waste the afternoon thus gifted for literary pursuits with anything else. But I was also in a … Continue reading “The Peace of Pursuit”
The world as I see it, can be wondrous at times, and full of traffic jams at others. One such glorious day when the clouds were scudding and meandering in turns with the weight of moisture, I sat gloomily in the car, wanting more than ever to join the clouds above. The signals had all … Continue reading “Hovering 🚁 & Pondering 💭”
This week-end was extremely well suited for cozy pursuits. Rain slashed down, our surrounding hills sported snow caps and we proudly reveled in the rare beauty of green hills, snow capped peaks, gushing rivers, brimming lakes, rains that sometimes lashed down, other times, lulled and drizzled. In fact, one afternoon, we saw the sun light … Continue reading “The Infinite in Us”
“You should write about gusts and gales! Do you like the title?” The son asked as he tried comically to keep from being veered off the garden path by the winds. He had wanted to go for a short walk to experience the winds. I told him I’d heard tales of roof tiles sliding off, … Continue reading “⚡️💨⛈ Gusts & Gales⚡️💨⛈”
It was the day after the storm. The white and blue of the skies above belied the battering of the previous two days. The torrents of rain lashing down, and the dark clouds seemed like a dream. As much as I love a rainy day adventure, the day after the rainy day has an appeal … Continue reading “As it was, so it shall be!”
