I was just going through my English textbook! (Why the hell did I do that?)
And came across something long forgotten....

You friend is your needs answered.
Prophet- Khalil Gibran


Talk about realization...

There're so many people.... so many kinds of people...
I wonder what god has to say about this!

If I were God, I'd have written a lo-o-ot of poems... most of which would begin with,
"Oh Dear Me! Look what I've done!"

Doesn't God ever feel like writing poems?

Celebration!!!!!!

And suddenly...things seem to be falling in place!!!
The nights aren't gloomy anymore...
Everything is so radiant and colourful..!
People are smiling at each other for no apparent reason!

This season of the year brings magic in the air...
It really does!
People just stop being nasty to each other... :-)

And for me it's like Rachel's fourth of July...
Every Diwali... we'd go on the top of the house and sit there for hours watching fireworks...
all of us together...
And when everyone else had left I'd have my share of those 'little sistery' moments with Dada.
We would wait till the deafening bangs and booms turned into distant, puny little clanks!!
Now we're scarcely that sweet to each other!

But Diwali brings all that back!
And all of a sudden the spoilt, confused, irritable teenagers that we have so skillfully crafted... become the sweetest and kindest of kids!

Isn't this the most wonderful day???
The ruby red lantern that hangs above my door seems to be the brightest of lights in the whole wide world...
:-)

Tranquil sky….
Restful night….
Secrecy far and wide….

Eyes cry
as thoughts fight...
nothing fills the God shaped void...
