Books

I have finally started finding some time for reading again nowadays. My daughter has achieved few little milestones and loves playing and takes a nap for 2 hours. Some days she goes to bed a little early at night and some times loves to play by self. Well, I have started taking advantage of these precious little moments. I started with few Reader's Digests and newspapers. When I understood that I could make it, I took a library membership. Yes! :-)

There is a JustBooks outlet on my way home, right on the main road and it couldn't be easier. So I am back to reading and already finished two. My pace is still slow but I am contended. :-)

Memories

The further behind I leave you,

You return with more vigour.

Though I never want you to return,

You keep haunting.

And when you decide to stop haunting,

I come behind, begging,

To haunt me,

So that,

I never forget you!

Sometimes....

... it is so lovely to sit all alone,

When it is raining heavily,

Watching the drops falling one after the other,

Shedding a tear or two thinking of the past,

But still with a smile on your lips!

More of Reading...

Actually at times I feel very bad that I am not reading anything nowadays. No books, newspapers, and not even the e-articles. It is not because I am not getting enough time. I do have lots. But I have become very much lazy indeed.

Tomorrow I am planning to travel to Kerala. And unlike the other times, this time I am going by train. So I will have lot of idle time to myself. I plan to take along some of my books and indulge in some good reading. After all what else can I do for the 12 to 13 hours of journey.

Thinking of yesterdays

Thoughts of my yesteryears, all that happened so fast. Now when I turn back, I see my sweetest memories, happiest moments - all floating just behind me. I stretch out my hand to catch hold of them and put them safe within me. But it slids quickly from my grasp and afloats. I stand with my hands outstretched and eyes wide open. All like a dream. It floats too far that I realize its too long since those moments are over. However hard I try, I am unable to reach it. Those moments will never come back in my life.

I let go all those emotions and attachments I had been holding tight in my hands all these years in hope that my happiness would come back. But its too late. Nothing will happen.

Hey, now I see the very present moments slipping out leaving trails behind. I try hard to catch up. Now I go hand in hand, living my life to fullest. If not so, atleast I try to. :-)
