I Miss that


The day is about to end,
and the old playlist is shuffled,
old songs struck some old chords,
You know what, I miss that

The fight to watch the favorite cartoon show,
or the race to reach the best seat somehow,  
I remember how tiny super problems we had,
You know what, I miss that

Winning the marbles was an obsession,
and the barbie was a pride possession,
Little worlds had little treasures to hunt,
You know what, I miss that



Wake up early or wake up late, Everyday
A warm hug from Maa was just a couple of seconds away,
that love, that feeling is now 300 kilometers apart,
You know what, I miss that

Every summer new deck of cards were bought,
cause some idiot didn't remember where's the seven of clubs is lost,
those fifty two combinations created infinite laughs,
You know what, I miss that

Tom kept chasing and Jerry kept escaping,
While watching their game, our childhood got missing,
In the world of winners and losers, they taught us to enjoy the game,
You know what, I miss that

And now I look back at the memories I have,
A tiny smile appears on the grownup face,
A thought to re-live them wonders on my mind,
That time, that innocence, and that Life,
You know what, I miss that

Character

I love watching movies. It's my favorite past time. And every good movie has something unique. This goes for movies across genres. Of course depending upon your liking and ability to relate or understand certain subjects, you might not like a good movie. But that doesn't mean it's not a good movie. But what a movie buff would always agree is that any movie that gets fan following, does follow one strategy. It sticks to the core subject. It has a character. As long as a movie or a web series sticks to it's core subject and puts in efforts to convey the story without getting slow, it would turn out to be a good movie. If it's an action movie, it should have the best possible action sequences. For a comedy one, you should be laughing your guts out. For a drama, it should touch your emotions. A musical should make you tap your feet.  I believe, just like any good movie, we all have one true character. Some are calm minded, some are outlandishly funny. Some are extremely...

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...

Writer's block

It's a phenomenon which a writer stumbles into once in a while. Basically s/he is not able to write anything. Somehow, the thought cycle which connects to words resulting into something meaningful is broken.  In other words, Monday blues. Unable to work. But this is little different with a writer. In an office, there will be an external enforcer (a Boss, in fancy words). But with a writer, it has to be a force within. An Intuition. But that's the thing, right? The urge, the motivation, the intuition, at times, just fades out, once in a while. When the linearity of life just stops bothering you. You fall in love with the concept of dormancy. Basically you become a couch potato (Until your mom starts to scold). But I feel, sometimes this block is a necessity. In terms of  industrial engineering, it is called mandatory buffer. A system should never be run at its max capacity all the time, or it will fail. Just like humans.  In life too, we keep figuring out what's next, all ...
