Catch up

Hearing to the old melodies on a transistor-radio with ever accompanying screeching transmission gives me the feeling of being pampered. It revamps my soul. The 'Vividh Bharati' , 'Chitra-lok' , BBC news are all, full of nostalgia.

Completing 250 pages of book in a single day without missing out a single word or phrase, just indicates the adhesive power that the author possess on his subject. Kudos to Vikram Seth. In his 'Suitable Boy' there is a whole narrative concerned to leather footwear manufacturing in 'Cawnpore' , 'England' and ' Brahmpur' - West Bengal. Each and every scene seems to appear before my eyes, point blank!! Interesting work of fiction jotted with so much reality ! "All I make my living is by the awl!" Pun intended ;)

Training Program ended on an emotional note. This time I was on the opposite side. As a student, while leaving school and college I had never ever shed tears . Emotions erupt within me but very late , along with a deep realization which always prevents me from public display of tears ;) But this time I was on the giving end. Simple village people whom I nagged thoroughly for complete one month made me so much concerned and touched my heart ,that I was Over-whelmed! Not only they touched my feet while bidding me farewell [which was awkward at once too, but I couldn't stop their overflowing respect and sentiments] but also they called me up next day saying, "Didi Ghar mein mn nahi kag raha kya karein?" ;)

My old disease of not being able to digest any thing and Stomach ache has re-surfaced once again. Three days hence and I am still counting. This 'mitha mitha dard' is making things bitter for me.

I need a serious change . A big break! May be somewhere into the cradle of chaos ,I might find some peace because alienated life sucks big time , sometimes!

I am over- satisfied. May be a little insecurity could do good to me ;D Hope so! Life is moving on and I am struggling to catch up with the steps somehow. One day I wish I could beat it and fly and fly higher, up , above!
