Finally! When it Pours ...

I am not much of a rain lover but I can't help it when it rains especially when I was dying with extreme humidity in a new place. It seemed like the dark black clouds had forgotten their way to Delhi and when they finally arrived, I was awakened from my sleep by the sound of big raindrops falling on the floor just outside my room. My first thought was, "So finally, it pours on J.K. Rowling's birthday! Bless her." And with my room mates having a peaceful sleep, I had the moment to myself which resulted in the following few lines... ;-)

As I wake up early in the morning
I hear the raindrops crashing on the floor
I smile and rejoice with the very thought
Finally, it's pouring as I run past the door

That moment of happiness is not explainable
when you witness the the first rain of monsoon
but the experience that I have is much better
as I feel my first rain in a place unknown

The anger and frustration of last night is now gone
not with the sleep but with the feel of the drops
I smile and smile and smile to myself
as my long awaited wish is now granted

Today when I would step on the road
I would not like the dirt that flows
But I throw the thought away
As for now, I have this moment to myself

Tip ! Tip ! Tip ! The rain cries
As it falls on the earth away from the sky
In my palm, I catch a few drops
And preserving them forever is my only thought

As long as I have the vision of the rain
in my mind, my heart will remain blessed
with a cheerful laugh on my face
I look forward to the rainy day that awaits...

Leukemia... Not Just a Disease!

People who have not suffered from leukemia think it is a deadly disease, obviously they’re right and for people who come to know that they’re suffering from leukemia are most of the times devastated, provided they know what leukemia is! And as far as my reaction is concerned…well then I was not in a state of shock because then I just knew I had some kind of a problem in my blood and I did not even know leukemia is blood cancer. It was 6 months after my treatment started that I came to know what Leukemia is…Thanks to my Grandfather! Even then I wasn’t upset much, probably just a bit, as I knew I am going to be fine. For me, Leukemia was never just a disease, when I say never I mean it. It has given a meaning to my life. My stay in CMC, Vellore and my Leukemia has taught me a lot of things which some people fail to learn and realize in their life time. Here are six of my realizations:          There is no bigger exam than LIFE itself - Life is t...

Our Story

Once upon a time not long ago, we were in love or at least we thought so. Our story did not start with hatred, it was simply friendship at its best. Friends we were then, friends we are now, or we just console ourselves by saying so. In between somehow love crossed our paths, and the feeling of first love arose in our hearts. Our love wasn't ever biased or partial, it never had any place for betrayal. Not was anybody ignored by us, but we could not control what others thought. We were sure that our love would last forever, but alas! every story has to have a conclusion. It was a sad ending, everyone said, distance, impatience and I were to blame. Still we continued to fight and talk, the break up never seemed the way it should have been though. Awkward silence always filled the space, Yet we continued to try and share. Our ending always seemed incomplete, I thought, a last meeting is all that we need. Misunderstand...

Dear Hypothetical Kids, For once Moon was your Mother's Muse!

I spent the entire day reading about the once-in-a-lifetime lunar eclipse.  Super Blue Blood moon.  ‘Can the name not be short?’, I thought just like I had thought about my cancer - Pre B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, ten years ago. I saw people sharing the time of eclipse’s visibility in different places.  ‘Ahh, not in India.’ Cool things never happen in India,  sighed the multiple-times-disappointed-kid in me.  But, then. I saw someone share the time of visibility in the metro cities of India.  I googled immediately, ‘Lunar eclipse visibility in Hyderabad.’ I saw many articles describing the reasons behind this particular eclipse being unique. I gave it a thought, not much. I am not one of those moon-watchers, you see. The idea of moon’s beauty brought the idea of longing lovers.  I tried, I tried really hard, to bring together love, longing, and moon. It never happened. But, for a little while, somewhere in my...
