The Significant Other

Once you discover that they are significantly better known in the common lives, you tend to notice their behavior. By this I did not mean the TV talk shows & tabloid magazines bestowing a great deal of attention but the ones in proximity who are achievers in their own strength. I’m reminded of an IAS officer who lived a few blocks from our apartment in Delhi – Saiket Das. How well do I remember his name without even striking a conversation in 12 months? But we spotted him in the mornings dressed in crisp white shirts in his chauffeur driven car that read his name followed with designation. Since we were fuelled with ambition bug to the brim, we could not stop admiring him. This certainly filtered to his family that consisted of his wife & a 4yr old daughter. From ‘him’ it suddenly became “them”. We noticed everything about them – their morning jogs to dropping their daughter to the school bus & their evening outings. We liked everything about them & almost everything se...

HULLABALOO

I had one of the most harrowing experiences of a lifetime yesterday. It was all about commotion, chaos, clutter, disorder, uproar & panic. While the city was setting up celebrations for Diwali, the leaders of the nation conspired against. We left office early to shop for Diwali. Streets were thronging with thousands buying & selling knick-knacks for the occasion. The rains too couldn’t dampen their spirits of festivity.

They raised slogans & carried placards, as they formed a human chain disrupting traffic on the roads, inside streets & most importantly human lives. I have been...

What did I do? I was dealing with emptiness within. Not a nice feeling. But what else could I do? There was no reason I could find for feeling like I did. You ask about the feeling - sadness welling up inside that makes you feel sick like you want to throw up, a little empty, makes your face go really warm and feet really cold. I struggled to sleep too. I still do not know why I was made to feel that  way. I chose to deal with the emptiness therefore. Some days are hard, to even get up and fix a cup of coffee. The mind is not quiet. Only if it were calm to let good thoughts trickle in. Some days you shouldn't reason. Must let things be. Thank God for a good heart that knows no wrong, in its matters !
