A Tree Up Hill

So apparently my office is located outside city. And the building is located in hilly area. My team mates say, it would look awesome during rains. But it isn't rained yet. So most of these hills are barren. Just appear full with dry grasses, not a very good view to look around. But there is this tree. A single tree, on the top of the hill. A tree I look at, everyday.

It keeps me amazed, what keeps it green, what keeps it different than its surrounding. I see it after lunch, I see it in the evening, I even see it whenever I need a break. It soothes my mind, for no reason. And I keep planning to visit it one day. I plan to come in the early morning with trekking shoes, and start climbing the hill. It would barely take half an hour to reach it. But I'm planning from almost three months. 'Will it happen?', I ask myself.    

In life, sometimes it happens that you see something. And you just know, it is kind of thing that suits you, it is meant for you. I feel the same way regarding this tree. There's a invisible connection between us. Sometimes it just feels right. Doesn't it?



But I keep postponing the visit. May be I don't have time for this. Every time I decide, there is a new obstacle. A new problem. And today I just gave up. Cause this feeling of struggle is causing more discomfort than the pleasure which I might get if I reach this tree. But the good part is the tree is still there. It is still grabbing my attention as it was a month ago. 

And it a good thing too. A break, glancing there, makes me feel refreshed. So what if I can't get there, it is still giving me little cups of happiness. Its mere existence is more than enough to give me pleasure. Cause I know where to look, when I'm in bad mood. 

Now just imagine the tree is a person, interesting, isn't it?

The Book Thief

There are stories. There are good stories. And then there are stories which touch your soul. One such story is written by Markus Zusak, named as The Book thief. Narrated by the death itself, it's a story of a kid from Nazi Germany. Her name is Liesel. Living in a foster home, with her new Papa and Mama. But life is not fair with her. She has memories of a brother, she lost on a train. Her new mother is awful cook and pretty tough on her. She has nightmares every night. As she starts to live this new life on a place called Himmel Street, stuff keeps happening. She makes a best friend Rudy, who's has crush on her. Her father teaches her the art of reading from a book she has stolen from grave yard. And hence the title, the book thief. And then there's another important character, called Max. Who is a Jew in a Nazi Germany, who is given shelter in her basement. You go on a journey from a train, to a football match on street, to stealing apples and bread. From playing accordion...

A Lone Journey!

"Would she remember me?", "Did I make a good Impression?", "Or is it just another click?", these are one of few thoughts I am having. May be I should stop thinking about her smile. That's the prettiest part of this short trip. An unexpected meet, then sharing sweet glances may be wasn't enough, that's why she gave a very warm goodbye along with an invitation to visit again. OMG! I have to stop thinking about her. This wont work ever. I know very well. May be all I need is little distraction to get normal. Looking outside the bus window might help. but while leaving this town, I am glad that I could collect some memories. At the end of the day, that's all you have , right? People you care, instances which make you happy, inspirations for bright tomorrow. Yeah! That is all matter.  Just like this journey, life is moving. For a couple of days She was my Travelling Buddy. Not Any More. I wish our journey could be prolonged. Trav...

First Rain: Year 2023

Summer rains have a special place in my life. They show us that no matter how things get heated, one rainy cloud is good enough to cool things down. And obviously, for few moments, every human becomes still, in this fast paced world. Have you observed how fast life has become? Or maybe I belong to the age group where I can feel this. Youngsters don't feel it, old folks don't care, middle age people don't have time to observe due to various responsibilities. But my age group, the millennials, I think we see the world in different perspective. Somehow life has become a rapidfire multiple choice quiz. You gotta keep selecting one thing after another, you just must, else you might become irrelevant in society. But then I ask myself sometimes, is this how I imagined my adulthood. Ofcourse many of the things from my 'Someday' list are there, but something is still missing. And I can't point it out. It's like I'm driving at high speeds, taking timely brakes, t...
