MY BELOVED'S BEAUTIFUL COMPANIONS

-

Reminiscences of good days and good moments take us back to the ecstasy of contentment and the relish of that same moment. It was all those happy days, when I was busy with the household chores, and my little ones running all around as it was their winter vacation. We got enough time to engage in all the activities. I used to enjoy the stories and news my better half narrates every day. Life was moving very smoothly. But one day to my great surprise I found my beloved’s talk centred around someone with jingling anklets, whom he met daily while jogging. His words had no limits when he described their heavenly beauty and graceful walk. I wondered who these beautiful companions he got all of a sudden with such a graceful gait!  Though the matter was not serious enough to disturb our peacefulness, it stuck somewhere in my mind. 

The other day I found a new pair of sports shoes on the shoe rack. Very cute one. My husband’s sound came from behind. ‘I bought this for you. Just try it.' But I was reluctant to use it because I haven’t used such type before. Moreover, it takes more of men’s style. He said, ‘It is very comfortable to wear and really good for jogging. Next day we will go together. It’s really boring to walk all alone.' I became happy and energetic than ever more. The shoes fitted me well and was comfortable too. I liked it so much.

Early in the morning it was so quiet and peaceful, a serene atmosphere. We walked a long distance. It was very refreshing and we enjoyed the walk. When we reached a bend of the road, he stopped and said, ‘This is what I wanted to show you.'  To my surprise, there I was able to see a refreshing sight which gave me an instant soothing. Then the whole perception of the things changed all at once. I listened to the finest of chirping and jingling, which fell on my ears like the beckoning of a new day. Some of them had colourful rings with small jingles, on their legs. May be those pigeons were fed by someone with great love and care. When we reached near, some of them turned and watched us for a moment and went on with their business. As we walked along a few birds followed us, then they flew away. One more week we could see them there. Then they disappeared. May be they have migrated to escape the cold weather. Today in this lockdown, I really wish those days come back again. A good refreshing walk is better than any other activity, if we feel that we are overdosing on social media and digital world.

We are expecting more surprises in the coming winter. Will the birds come there again? Will they have jingles on their legs?

FROM STAGES TO STARDOM

We all have friends. Who is there in this world without a friend? Everyone has. My friends are gems that shine with a sparkling glow. We will get their radiance if we just go near them. Once I got a friend, who took me completely into her own charge. There was a time when I struggled a lot to overcome an initiation problem. I had a very bad habit of taking leave on the very first day of the academic year. Today I regret it. Usually, the first day will be a day fixed for the self-introduction or rather I would call it ‘the ragging day’. The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else.   It was my first day in the college. As far as I am concerned, a phase of big change. That is a shift directly from school to college. I joined for a pre degree course. As I said before, it was my first day in the college. However, for all others it was the second day. I had skipped the first day, which the seniors set as the raggin...

MEMORIES

THE QUEEN OF STORIES ‘On the top of the hill there was a big mansion. He went all the way up. There were many tall trees on the way hiding the view of the mansion. A pleasant smell filled the place. It seemed someone was alluring him. He looked up. A fresh leaf dropped from the tree, twirling in the air like a puzzle, shimmering in the twilight and fell on his foot. He took the leaf and rubbed it between his hands. Suddenly he got the scent and whispered ‘Eucalyptus!’ The whole place was filled with tall Eucalyptus trees. ‘How seductive!’ He thought. He kept walking and at last reached a bent of the road. Suddenly the mansion appeared. It stood upright, infront of him, charming and enchanting. The front door was left open. It was a giant door, which opened to a big hall. He stepped in to see the grandeur inside the hall. Elaborate mantelpiece, magnificent candle stands, and enticing chandeliers, all gave the room a distinctive aura. Amidst all these, something caught his attentio...

COILING DREAMS

I tossed and turned as I tried to sleep. Memories that I had buried deep within me were bursting through my consciousness. A kind of fear always engulfs me,   whenever I hear something about snakes. Once, in my childhood, I encountered a snake and was saved within a few inches distance. Before I plunge in to that, let me tell you something, which I would like to describe as, the most important of the least important things. It was a wonderful Saturday.   After the strenuous hard work of long five days in school, the much-awaited weekend has come. It is very difficult to wake up early on a school day. But on weekends we were the early birds. We will wake up before the sun comes. I opened my eyes with great excitement.  Straight out of the bed, I tiptoed to the window and slowly opened it. The cool air of the last night’s rain hit my face. It is really a pleasant experience to breath in the freshness of the new day. I blinked my eyes to see the beauty. What a precious ...
