Fog Fog

Hi freinds,
My last week was pretty hectic & boring as i was on official visit to Dewas. I left Delhi on 18th Jan & all thanks to the autorikshaw driver who rushed me to Nizzamudin Railway station from Vasant vihar where my taxi got punchered. Train reached 6hrs late than the scheduled arrival time at Dewas. Two days at Dewas were pretty hectic as i had been to Dewas almost after 6months. My return jorney was full of chaos as my train departed from Dewas attleast 2hrs late than the schedule time and reached Delhi 12hrs late than the schedule time. Anybody who are travelling by train or air are advised to plan there visits only after checking the weather status, else you would be wasting your day sitting on the railway station or airport.
Fog
It’s a mysterious morning in the wood as the fogs settled in
Fog dances with the wind through the trees twirling
A hazy white blanket diffusing scattering the light
Everything looks so different tricking your sight
The sun rays pours down breaking through the trees canopy
Linear streaks of light highlighting objects we see
Mysterious fog plays with the light as things it conceals
So when you are only near objects magically reappear
Strange shaped shadows jump out from the teasing mist
And twigs and objects appear that at first you did miss
The gloomy cold fog tries hard to hide the light of the new day
But the darkness and mystery it brings is not there to stay
The wind helps the sun to blow the mist from our sight
And wind sun versus the fog start their regular teasing fight As normal the fog slowly loses, thins to a light haze in the air
Going patchy with little dancing wisps here and there
The light and the wind always it wins afterall
But the fog would just quickly disappear from us all
But look closely he left a present from his newly departed mist
On foliage are water jewel droplets where it gently kissed.

Grow Old with Someone you Love..............

My hair had gone grey, my eyes had gone weak. I am nearing onto my 70's, my old habits of late rising from sleep had changed. Now me and my wife had turned early risers. We are back from our morning walk. With a cup of tea, i am reading the newspaper headlines. Nothing much had changed politically in India all through these years. Priyanka Gandhi's son is on the verge to be the next prime minister of India, Kejriwal's son is still fighting against corruption. Lets put end to these newspaper stories here. Nikki (My Wife) is busy with her early morning Yoga session, she had turned 68 years old but still managed to looks 15 yrs younger than her age. I am gazing her my double lenses, its almost 40years of our togetherness and still it seems that we had just got married yesterday. Nikki raises her eyebrows from the corner and asks me whats in the breakfast honey? I distract myself and pretend that i had not heard her words. She speaks more louder with adding - "You...

My First Interview for Marriage Proposal

I was recovering from my viral fever & all hats of to my mom whose efforts had made me recovered so quickly. My platelet counts had gone below the standard mark & I had to take off from my office for almost 2 weeks. I informed my father about illness & requested if they can come for a while to take care of me. Since my mother is a heart patient so we generally avoid giving her shock or any such news which disturbs her. My father told her that we are going to Gurgaon for a while to meet Tinku & will stay for atleast 2-3days. (Tinku is my pet name, so don’t make a joke of it ok.) My mother was over surprised because my father hardly gets space/ time from his job. He loves his job more than my mother, so it was hard for my mother to swallow it so quickly. She had the only thought in her mind was of marriage proposal, she had been dreaming for my marriage for more than a year. Reality was hard for her to see as she got to know about my illness only when she arrived at m...

Internet Cafe - Open 24hours

 I remember Year1999 when i created my first email ID & when i today remember the same story i can't even imagine life without internet. It was a Sunday, we were just through with our intermediate exams. We got to know that internet cafe had come around near Govt. college. Myself & Puneet we thought of going to this cafe. Although Charges were Rs120/ hrs, we managed to spend fifty-fifty from our pocket moneys. We started with creating email ID in rediff, it took us almost 30-45mins as we were filling the registration form for the first time. At last we were able to create our first email Id's.  In today's era, most of the kids who have started going to school now have their facebook & twitter accounts. Dont know how far this will gooooooo, but as of this don't have any end. Its a small story of how the internet services had grown drastically in India since last one decade. There had been full transformation in this field. Before i start my story l...
