Midnight Madness

Wanted to plant another sapling. Started the walk. It was getting dark. Boarded public transit. Stepped down at a mile. Continued the walk. Nursery was open. The man sitting there seemed bored as he was alone. Happy to see another being, his enthusiasm explained. But he don't sell the breed.

Redirected. Bumpy rider to the likely destination. Rain started. Nursery had stopped sales. Walk in the next exit. Drenching. Walk. Walk. Walk. Final destination. Mission accomplished. Travel back. Plant the sapling. But alas! Roots were grown wrongly to fit the field. Good night loser.

Long Pause; Pressing Resume

Travel! That was the advise from a self proclaimed visionary. If not now, then never- he added. But it is always there. The chances. The places. The experiences.

There had been times when traveling was a routine. Exploring the lands of hills, spices, lores, sweets were all part of day. But the pause that happened was pretty long.

The new mode of life has opened afresh a lot of destinations. Some heard, some unheard. Carrying along the passion will do miracles.

Confusions, Deals and Decisions

Three years back while walking through the pavement of the never free bottlenecked road of capital city, a wish had emerged to work here. The wish was clear, no life is posssible here, but work is possible. Scenes changed, roles changed and finally the wish materialised.

It was not as good as expected. The possibilty of good nesting was not affordable. Trees were there, but royal. Only twigs available, no nest. Arrangement was made but it was full. Confusions, deals and finally settlement. Now time for further croaking and cooing. Hope this farm to good for my fruits.

Queen of Sea

Sitting in a cozy hotel room, sipping a cup of coffee, laziness creeps in as the sea is embracing its queen with low pressure showers. The roads and air are wet, humid and reminding winter in the midst of summer. Four days back upon landing, it was sweat that filled up the air.

The queen is giving fresh thoughts. As there is a new harrow in hand and jackfruit has been perishing in heat, thoughts have developed to replant the seeds. The farm is being replenished and soon it will grow to be fruitful.
