A Birthday Wish !!

I turned 32 today !! and of the near and dear ones who wished me 
some asked what i wanted for my birthday.

so here is a poem i scooped out of my treasury today... 
for this and your company is all i wish for my birthday !!



If ever you wish to gift me a thing
a windy evening with careless rustling 
would be fine.

If ever you wish- 
a sunny morning at the break of dawning 
and, a greening mizzling 
would be fine. 

Not that I am asking- 
just a silent longing 
and, a desire deep clinging 
it is...... 

Better it would be  
if you could give me- 
Not the riches of the queen, 
nor a prince, -tall and charming, 
but just a little spare time 
To sail to my dream.

Bremen....


 Bremen is a Hanseatic city in northern Germany situated along the river Weser. Last summer work took me there for a week and amidst the busy schedule of our program we found enough time to explore into the beauty of the city.

Well, Bremen is the only European city I have been so far. So the clear blue sky, the huge ports and the magnificent buildings around St. Peter's Cathedral charmed me immensely. These were however the things that I had expected to see in the city with such long standing history.  What struck me the most was the effort that the residents of Bremen take to beautify their window sills. I had been absolutely charmed by the window decorations and pretty gardens of the houses that stood across the street.  While there,- I always felt an urge to peep into those houses to see what lay on the other side of the laced-curtains and lovely orchids that adorned the window-sills.

At Once Upon A Tea Time ... Designer Stories one such beautiful house in Bremen has been featured recently. That reminded me of the set of pictures of  the decorated-windows and a lovely backyards that I had taken there. Since me and mother  share our love for beautiful houses and charming interiors, this was a gift I had got for her from Bremen.

With autumn knocking at the door, i thought that the time is perfect to post few Bremen-window-photographs !

a bored me speaking .....

In the presence of the opinionated ones,
I still wear the blase look
and sometimes moderate the rudeness
with a  hint of a fading smile ..
there are too many people i meet everyday....
the kind who have a lot to say...
    a lot about almost everything under the wide open sky...
from some i learn about things i care 
    while the rest just load me with their opinionated shares ...


i usually have nothing much to say.
i prefer to hear.
smile sometimes,
sometimes laugh aloud at their jokes
but mostly i wear a demure look with a fading smile around the nook.


to some, my non-indulgence can be a bother ...
but i prefer it this way...
for i do not want to be he-
 - he who has something to say on why, how, whom, when and what
     of every question that comes his way...
