The Air Flight...


Sitting besides the window seat in an airplane, many thoughts pour in... These thoughts are always the same. The strange thing that happens to me is that each time I take on to a flight journey, the experience is always the 'first' for me.  I always feel equally excited as a little kid who suddenly gets big wings... and the experience remains exactly the same each time...(if you know what I mean..)
In that short journey of few hours, I somehow feel as if I am playing so many roles in different costumes.. and probably that's what makes an air journey just the same for me each time...

As a painter, I desire to use my own colours - make the trees go blue and the sky go pink....
As a builder, want to place buildings as my world way...
As a dreamer, resolute to conquer the world, as I am already high up touching the unreachable...
As a bird, get my big wings, I fly high to the envy of the foot walker....
As a runner, get new speed, breaking the finishing line, at my discretion....
As a lover, look at the romantic scenic and smile... and may be blush too....
As an adventurer, desire to open my parachute, and fall free... letting the air hit me in my face...
As a scared baby, shut my eye, when see that first lightning...
As a god believer, feel my distance with him has reduced....
As a curious child, want to catch the sun in my hand...and even play...
As a diver, desire to dive deep into the snowy clouds...
As a kid, play tippy tippy tap with stars...
As a poet, wish to keep writing and never stop...till my ink finishes....
As a reader, find my best library in the warm silent new world...
As a thinker, start questioning, why are trees green and sea is blue...
As a toddler, desire to touch the ground to see if I can walk...

Every second counts!!!

I am currently in an MBA school where ALWAYS there is so much to do. It’s like a buffet where you have a million options to choose from, but you end up prioritizing as per your taste buds and then take only a few in your plate. My friends often say that I am not a buffet person as there is only little that I can have in one go, and I think that's true for most of 'us' in life too. As in, there are a select few things only that we can take up in one go and finally do justice to the selected few. 
A lot of times in a place like this (where one is away from home, away from family and friends, away from that warmth of acquaintance with everything!!!), one often gets lost... When I have such a feeling, I keep reminding myself "Every second counts"... and that I should not let the current time fly back that easily... 
Anyways, today in Mandarin class, when this thought came hounding me again (as I was barely able to concentrate considering my huge "TO DO' list (its ironical, till an age the concept of a TO DO list never pictures in, and after an age the concept of TO DO list never goes away!! May be that's what defines growing up!!!), this thought again struck me "Every second Counts..." 
But there is another color to these three words - that every second really counts, not just for us, but for each one of us.  
There is so much happening in every second, actually so much happening in this little one second,


It’s in the same one second...


When one is on cloud nine, while the other may have not even reached the line,
When one touches the euphoria of success, while the other declares to have reached wrong address,
When one prepares for her first date, while the other drifts apart as dictated by the ugly fate,
When a 'new' Einstein blesses our world, while a 'new' Hitler is determined to upside the world,
When one struggles to stop laughing, while the other's life becomes no less than a mocking,
When one keeps his password 'life is beautiful', while the other screams 'can't live in a suffocating cubicle,
When one wakes with the arrogant sun, while the other kisses the handsome moon,
When one dolls up like a Remo, while the other loses hair in chemo,
When one sells gold building castles, while the other is thrilled as he found few apples,
When one says 'red' - the color of love, while the other says 'red' - the danger glove...

(to be continued... inshallah)





Till the time, I barely wrote this little piece, millions of seconds have passed. It’s hard to imagine that each of the aforementioned JUST happened again...

A thank you note!!!

My first ever goes here... It would be unfair to write any further word without thanking someone. And this someone has his birthday today. This someone is called Mr. Sir (as he has been a senior to me at school - both my beginning and my so far terminal school). I have known him for years, ironically don't even know an iota of him , have barely spoken with him so far. Keeping all that aside, he some how shared his blog post with me and I so happened to visit the same as well.
I read through his blogs and in fact read some of his posts twice (wish I did my pre-reads that thoroughly!!!). Quite profound and definitely thought provoking. Wish to use a better word somehow. Let me think... Yep something that turned my mind to go violet (the strongest color in my VIBGYOR!!!) . And that's what made me start 'henasvibgyor'... Have always fancied writing, never tried hard really, in fact never even attempted, so here I go with myself and myself only...

Thank you Mr. Sir, and a very happy birthday to you :)
