Choices...


For over a decade I have been shifting base
the addresses change in the letters sent to me..
In the beginning all this was exciting,
rather indulging -- made me feel important,
a little special sometimes.
But now my volitions have begun to trade loyalties...
We don't want to move they fuss...
Moving is not as enticing they chafe.....
Tis unsettling they fret.




Now I wish to settle down...
Have a bed to wake up into at the break of each day,
have a place called 'home' to go back to each evening,
have a family around to cook for, care for-
tell my stories to at the end of each day.

This life was my choice.
I love my job and chose it thus. 
Yet now I crave to be home-bound.

A confession ..


These days I am reading 'Our Ancestors' by Calvino. More specifically, I am reading 'Baron in the Trees'(along side is a doodle of the baron by Calvino). And I am loving it !


A lot has already been said about it and there isn't much more that I can add save that I noticed a striking similarity in the weave of the life of Forest Gump and the Baron in the Trees.

However a line in the book has caught my fancy and triggered a chain of thoughts. It reads
"In fact, times were coming that were to be more tolerant , but also more hypocritical."
....And it started me thinking isn't that always true ? After all do we not always start pretending tolerance after a while?

I realized I do... don't you ?

to yesterday....



Please remain the way you are...
Blurring ... yet pristine and pure...

Frequent me not- today
and mar my you of yesterday

I relish you in my dreams ...
Tracing your hazing trails....

Stay where you are...
Near yet far away ...

A toast to coffee !!


Over the past few days I have become increasingly aware of my virtual existence.

By profession I do abstract mathematics. That explains the virtuality at my work-front.

I am married, but presently its a long distance marriage. So my husband is no more than a video image in the mornings and a green-dot (courtesy G-talk) at night ! The same is true for most of my friends, merely blinking dots, switching colours between grey-green-orange and grey again :(

Blogs, e-books, online music take care of my weekends and my real estate extends very little beyond farmville :)

So you see I am feeling rather virtual these days... with coffee as my sole connection to reality !!
