Partners in crime

The empty coffee cup from the table was picked up. And the gaze back to the book. A sudden burst of wind inside the doors, everything else forgotten. To be carried away by the moment...

Partners in Crime – Unabridged

The day was ordinary, some mundane tasks at the bank. Forms filled and stamped and refilled. Not a very smart cookie when it comes to matters of the wallet. The money checked and counted and in place and the smartness fades when it comes to the placement of the wallet. Damn, now the wallet is missing. Where is it? Well, before that is it worth the effort of the search? The cards maybe, money discountable. A zillion thoughts buzzing, would it have been taken by somebody who really needed the cash? Is it okay, to simply let go? But the cards matter don’t they? Aargh!

The security empathised, maybe he understood the plight of missing wallets more than anyone else. He was of no help really though. Well a little more time with the nice security man, who is really concerned about the misplaced/stolen wallet than other matters at his hand. So, what next? Maybe a briefing, asking him to give a call if the wallet turns up.

It wouldn’t matter if the wallet cropped up legs and walked back without the money but just the cards would do. It would be understandable of the wallet though, how long can one simply hold money, it was the wallets urge to splurge now. Maybe, a visit to the wallet cleaning guy for a shiny look or a trip to see the world instead of the dingy pockets and smell some fresh air.

Well now, the office beckons. But not for long, the bank seems the place to be for the day. So after half an hour, it is time for another visit for further investigation. A little desperation maybe, the gaze falls on a group of women who keep the campus clean and beautiful. Would they know something? Is there a feel of ‘I wish I can share something with you’? Well, one brave lady bucks up. The conversation rolls. The overtly concerned security guy himself the culprit and with evidence. 

Dilemma,  Is confronting him a solution? would he need the money so bad? Can the wallet take precedence over a human being? Some more voices from the women join along.’ Leave the poor guy, don’t complain, god knows in what need he is in.’

so.. Theft == Gift !

Another lady retorts with indignation, ‘How can you say that? The guy needs to be sacked, a thief is a thief, and a security thief just isn’t right!’ 

so.. Theft = Theft !

The lovely ladies with so much heart and guts also divulge the place where the wallet is hidden. Hmmm, so what now? All points duly noted, a confrontation or let go?
Theft = Theft or Theft == Gift ?

Well maybe it is time to look and scout the bank again. There sits the wallet, there the security watching over the stolen wallet. There the security cameras with their faces turned in all directions. Well, the Sherlock Homes inside came souring out at a singular moment, when the cameras were turned away and the security beckoned to another duty. In that fraction of a second, an ultra chilled out walk, a smooth retrieval of the wallet with all casualness in the world. Mission accomplished !

None confronted. None offended. Just a pack of smiling ladies, a smiling me and the dear wallet which loves to see the world, all in place.. but for the bewildered security in search of the gift / happy enough with the gift of 'no confrontation' B-)

finally, its.. Theft * Theft = Gift 
wow!, what a gift...

Partners in crime :)

A walk to remember

Just Imagine...

If you were to come back to insti after some 20 years and take a walk starting from stadium all the way around insti through CCD, Tiff, OAT, cauvery hostel, gurunath, CCW, swimming pool and finally back to stadium. 

Quietly listening to the questions that every part of insti puts to you...

[stadium to tiff]

IITM lake sign board-'Beware of crocks': Take a dip & figure out if crocks still exist, Did they ever exist? 

Stadium: No night sky view, only sky scraper view:p . Dude its 2030! still I could help you shed some from your pot belly :) 

CCD : Treat! put treat!!

Tiff : whom are u waitin for, pack off. He/she is not gona come over ;) 

[Tiff to cauvery hostel gate] 

Library: Didn't you find any junta for your pseud putting session.. 

Academic area : oh, you... that visiting student? :p 

Sound of breaze (uzz..uzzzz...) : Dude don't wonder where the sound is coming from, with out any breeze, b'cos its the uzzz... sound of the ghosts of cut-down trees !

CLT : Have told u 'n' times that you are the elitist of students, you could give back so much to the society & the future is in your hands!
      Oops! I got it, Your pay slip is still not enough. seems like the society hasn't given enough to u in 20 years :(

OAT fence : I am the loving fence that gave way when ever you were out of ticket for a movie or a Saarang show :D , those painful kisses ;)

Sports fields sign board: Inter IIT practice sessions, evening games - schroiter - fighting spirit-wins-loses-Inter IIT...pack, Pack all these - Who had the sexy abbs ;) ? 

 [Hostel to stadium thru gurunath & CCW] 

Hostel Security : World may have changed but my snoring will never slow down! ha ha...

Monkeys : What have you got for me this time, U used to stock up so much stuff in your room for my 10 am / 4 pm rounds !!

Gurunath : b'day bumbs, you feel that pain in ur ass, when you got one :)

Quad & sangam : Do u still have it in you, that joy of the fighting spirit in ur guts ?

CCW : pain max processes !!!

swimming pool waters : Fat ass! do u want me to gulp you few more times, won't spare u this time!

Doms DayOut : Have you got your team to win me again ?? 

stadium: Aren't you with your buddy for the secret talk? Beware:- green grass is embedded with microphones...............

you are completely lost into every little crush scattered all over insti - one by one ;)

.......Don't worry, Grass is not yet capable of capturing your thoughts / dreams :p

Hey sweaty !!!

(silence is broken as an old insti friend bumps into u)

Insti - Home sweet Home :) 

This is Uncensored version of the concluding article published a year ago in the book 'The Last bencher' titled "A walk in 2030". The Last Bencher was an attempt to immortalize the memories of life at IIT madras.  

Hats off to 'the last bencher' team & especially to Surbhi(Editor-in-chief) for making this book a reality. You could download a PDF copy of the book at http://thelastbencher.wordpress.com/. 

La Tomatina ~ Nay Tomatina !

10 years ago:

I vaguely remember that quite evening,I was watching TV.

Red, Red Tomato Red.. news flashs about spanish La tomatina festival !

will be party to La Tomatina when i travel to europe some day; Day Dreaming:D

Recently:

La Tomatina:  latomatina.co.in flashed all over, since its caught the imagination of many (fueled by 'zindagi na milegi dobara' )

Nay Tomatina: After a week or so i hear about Tomatina from another set of friends for a different reason, wanting to stop the event - Nay Tomatina !

kid's voice: Tomatina, La Tomatina.. la la lala llaa. awesome. its gone be fun :D

Emotional voice: How can i be party to wasting food, when so many go hungry & malnutrition :(

Lazzy voice: oki, forget it; its prized little high & i am anywayz not going.

Few days pass by....

Managerial voice: Why not heavily TAX the people having fun by wasting tomato & Feed the malnutrition / hungry with it !

Entrepreneurial voice: Figure out the supply chain of tomato ( Farm to market) & tweak the tomato procurement policy to source only excess/wastage tomato's during peak tomato season. It's building a strong case that the event will not increase the Net wastage of tomato, moreover they end up Saving on procurement cost. B-)    Bindas !!

Few more days pass by...

Yet again another set of friends prepare a legal petition on the basis of supreme court order issuing notice to central government that wastage of PDS food is in direct violation of 'Fundamental right to food', when millions go hungry & high rate of malnutrition.
oh man , Bindas Idea is gone for a toss. Event is few days away & i may have to take a side. :S

Activist voice: Idea and all is good, but how can we plant a thought in the young minds that wasting food is ok. That too in Indian context?

Gentlemanly voice: Every one has fun in their own ways. Having fun per se can't be condemned & at the same time it shouldn't effect another set of people. There must be some way out...   How about making the organizer implement the Bindas Idea & at the same time make every participant to get involved in few hours of social work before the event :)

wow! its like making them more socially grounded through La Tomatina fun filled event B-)

Practical voice: Dude! talk some thing that's practically possible. You think they are going to listen to all this social thinge ?

Clarity eluded my voice in search of a way out!

Unlike me, a lot of my friends had a strong opinion.

At least they had taken a side :)

Eventually I would have fallen for my emotional voice :)

Is it really necessary to have a strong opinion on everything?

La Tomatina ~ Nay Tomatina !

A date with Freedom struggle PART II

Y waste time:

my friend: This anna hazare fast & stuff is all Media gimic..
me: Abey, that's what is needed. More ppl. more media more more ppl. to put pressure on the government :B-)

me: ohh, Shut up :( , u run behind some thing called best thing & do nothing...

me: frankly , I don't know who this Anna hazare is, But I do know that Kiran bedi & Arvind Kejriwal would have put in their thoughts before joining hands.
Even if its not the best, its not a bad option!
Am just jumping in - how about u?

friend: humm..... , oki. I am with u !
i will just miss a few days of work & few IPL matchs...big deal! Lets jump in :)

Wow ! That's the spirit !!

5 Apr 2011:

i was wondering if chennai was a dead city.
No public events planed to support Anna Hazare's Fast Until death for stronger Lokpal bill[Anti corruption movement].

8 Apr 2011:

I am proud and happy that today we made chennai more lively (few hundred ppl)

Satyagraha:

6 am:
A Hundred people gathered in front of Gandhi statue-Marina beach.
Local councellor & SI with a load of police came to the spot to chase us away at any cost - obvious ruling parties wish.
we can make it happen if we stay together united - lessons learnt from a kid level strike durin UG days for some funny reason :)
7 am:
"144 declared" - was thundring SI's voice : after all the usual police threatening tricks failed.
Some of oldies, kids & youth quitely sliped away.
Chandru,vignesh & few others Stood strong to keep about 50 of us.

Anti corruption slogans was flowing in our voice - with our heads held high, we were arrested and taken in police van.

i pulled in my friends saying it would be few hours or max. a day of jail - fun isn't it :B-)

Second Freedom Strugle:
8:30 am
Men in uniform released us and accepted to drop us at the private gathering place in T-nagar, or else they have to feed & take care of us :D

9:30 am
News spreading virally, people started pouring in with support.
It was nice to see ppl. coming out to streets, but it wasn't enough for city of chennai.

Former election comissionr Mr. Naresh gupta and few prominent ppl. joined us:)
crowd stood at 500.

Pepli Live moment:
9:30 am
Oh the Tv channels and reporters started pitching in with live telecast to all over the world, It was like the Pepli Live moment..
When i got chance to be live in a national TV - I called out for more youth & students to come out in support - b'cos its our moment !

It's Our Moment: come Join

11:30 am
Goal was set:
We all spreaded our wings to gather more support thru sms, mail, FB ...
"Come join the Candle light vigil at Marina beach - gandhi statue at 6 pm today
Now its your chance to be part of the Living chennai."

Candle light vigil - Marina beach :
6 pm:
Sign of victory has arrived for all the strugle we put in the morning!
thousand Candles lit, swaying with the breaze, beautifying the marina beach.
thoundering sound, slogans aganinst corruption with electrifying energy.

Actor Karthick(surya's bro) & few other prominant personalities were there.


9 Apr 2011:

10 am:
Indian Govt. was frightened about this whole movement with the kind of support it gathered all over the country
Govt. agreed to the demands of this civilian movement.

Victory ! Victory !! Victory !!!

11 am:

The gathering was dispersed with victory speach by a lot of oldies & who called themselvs Big.
Round Chair conferance : people with personal ajenda : NGO that were present: every one want their banner to be painted behind the movement.
Play of Politics:
some were keen to Hijack the whole movement for personal fame: astonishingly some of them i am seeing for the first time in the movement.
Luckily few sensible once rejected for bringing the chennai movement under any banner, so as to protect its sanity and not piss off people who worked for the cause.

we all disperse with a sence of satisfaction.

My respect is unbound to those who stood in tough times like the police arrest.
it was nice to know & work with interesting/nice people from different walks of life.

Thanks to one and all who came to the streets, who were fasting within their walls physically or mentally.

Victory , yes...

remember.. Its the Beginning.
Committee formation-Drafting of Bill-Parliament should pass-Enactment... long way to go.
How many thought that we will come this far... mean while it has to face a lot of bully, lobby & political threat ! Lets wait & see........

This whole thing should be brought into one umberalla, one institution so we don't have to start from scratch when another such need arises... Hope its not needed any more :)

luv u all ;)

Journey of stars

A star with no name
A journey to no where
A twinkle with a nice smile :)
A twinkle that could die; I was.

Knowingly & unknowingly, with its own troughs & crests
Slowly & steadily , with its own little strength & energy
Stealthily & deceptively, with its own right & wrong
Kame another little star; My guiding star.

It was so smooth like a mom's care
It was so casual like a kids talk
It was so natural like flowing water
It was Gods will; My guiding star :)

With bit by bit, it gained its momentum
With troughs & crests, it amplified its amplitude
With kids play, queens beauty & emperors wisdom; she conquered me
Was not just my guiding star; Final pole star :D

Its walls went crumbling down
I was striped to the core & re-done
I will cherish the new me, forever and ever.
Its going to take me to the top of the world :)

But the intensity became too much to hold on..
Both drove away from each other, moving farther& farther.
But lesser became the inter stellar distance & we were dying :(
B'cos I am her pole star & she is mine :)

A shrinking star; i was.
Bring me to life; i heard.
Summoning every little energy; i went.
Entering the walls of the destiny; i fell.
Speechless, motionless & almost dead; i fell.
I could die a hundred death, for its My pole star :)

OMG: Blamed the most cherished one!
O Lord: It was evils voice :( - Forgive me! pl.. (not intended, not my own)
O Lord: Pl. don't make me regret it for long.. ple... !
OMG: I had ruined it! Destiny was denied again!! :-(

I was dumb, I was crazy, I was emotional.
I am no worthy of loving the destiny, if I weren't these :D
It was a tough call, with blurring right & wrong.
But how can i not TRY, if it could be good for one & all.

I couldn't save her nor myself.
I tend to believe my eyes more than my ears, so it was getting tough.
With tears rolling down & the humming.....
When your tears are spent in your last pretense... will be right beside u...

Everything else vanished in air, but for this journey.
Everything else could be done 1000's better, if with the pole star.
Its not too far, for both the stars to join together & sing in unison.
Into the elixir of everlasting fun & joy, giving light to every other star; Its not too far...

Its not too far... That fine day, In that Joy :D:D
I would kick ass her to flight :p
Launch myself and hug her to the core - mid air ;)
Kiss her with the swirl to the dawn of the new universe B-)

All we have got to do is...
Stop searching for reasons to run away & pack the little differences.
Shut our brains, Ask our hearts & Act fast before its too late.
Look at the new dawn with renewed confidence B-)

I have it in me, Do you have it in you ??
To reach the ultimate destiny ! :)
What an idea sir Ji - come Join Indian army :p
Dude: Ultimately its your call! Lets catch up asap !!!

I am just loving the journey and the destiny ;)
I may ruin it , if i talk more....
It was a tough call, with blurring right & wrong.
But how can i not TRY, if it will be good for one & all in the long run :)



Journey of stars - final pole star : Destiny - Dawn of the new universe.

crazy Dumm Skool :D

ACT 1: Crazy Dumm skool :D

Am I still incepted or living for real ?
Not sure! don’t even know if time can reveal the truth :)

What so ever, I am trying to enjoy every moment & every breath of it.
So lets not worry too much about it & move on….

'your blog has a medieval touch' said some one.
(smiling to myself, I thought its better to put in this style than the usual josephites slang)

Oh then, such & thy & such & thy… really sucks ! Lets pack it :(

A compulsory Eng. Literature course on a romantic comedy of Shakespeare’s play as part of curriculum, An Anglo Indian skool in the jungles of coonoor called SJC(st josephs college), started way back in 1888, by patrician bro’s from England.

What’s the style got to do with it?

SCENE 1: SJC Literature class
The Twelfth night play Starts some thing like this…
ACT 1 : Scene 1
Duke : If music be the food of love ;), play on…….
Goes on till Act 5 : scene xxx (till the book lasts)

To get through the course almost every word of it had to be interpreted in ‘n ways’, that even Shakespeare wouldn’t have thought off :(

it’s a ROMANTIC Comedy ;) & we basically had to analyzing who is trying for whom & who all are in luv at different junctures with all sort of probability & combination to it :
what a sexy thing to do in class :D

I could have borrowed his medieval style : stop; stop: for heavens sake don’t compare shake(sekar) with Shakespeare :p, it’s a little too early :p

Listen to this ( pl. bare with the language used )

X1 : Hey fucker!
Y1 : ya,Ass hole
X2 : man, move ur butt.
Y2 : Fuck off !
X3 : Shut ur trap & move ur ass.
Y3 : shit… F*……

Was that a fight btw two druggist in the streets of US
Nope - then?
SCENE 2: SJC main flat (main ground) under the breezy trees
It was just a cool chit chat btw friends for bench space :)
What they actually meant was just this :-
Badu : hi buddy ! (X1)
Suku : yep (Y1)
Badu : hey, move a bit (X2)
Suku : nope! (Y2)
Badu : come on, pl. move it man (X3)
Suku : [suku moves and gives space to badu :)] (Y3)

Humm :| Dude, I swear its no hype!

Outsiders would not bare the slang, but its just a slang / day to day thing & No more meaning attached to it, so what’s wrong !!! Crazy skool!!

Roll call:
4. Sekar :- yes,mam.
5. steven :- mam, am here.
…….
? attendance in class - nope, not at all !

SCENE 3: Grass slopes of Main flat (ground) during Inter school Footer Match

its INTER SCHOOL footer:-
School declared holiday – its compulsory attendance to cheer up our team !
We would shout our ass off – every dumm kid’s throat wil be fucked up in a couple of hours. It’s in the blood of every josephite, 10s & 100s of cheering songs composed by josephites all these years with so many flavours and tunes… to suite different situations of any match.
Transfering adrenaline & team spirit from cheering crowd to the players in the field…
oh… how do I explain the liveliness, Infact we had literally cheered our team to victor from downside, so many times B-) “ it’s a class about the European league stuff”B-)

Interestingly one / two girls would be part of some footer team, putting their foot with guys. I just, luv such bravo gals ;). In fact would have had little crush on a few such on field bravo or off the field bravo types. :D:D:D

Rule book of SJC says that every kid had to go through 2 hours of evening athletic practice.
Show stopper: Sags ( staff in charge of athletics) , He would be assisted by a bunch of staffs in charge of various house… yep, I was an Azadian – moto “Never give in” , true to the moto we were the 112th Annual athletic meet champs B-).

Scene 4: Athletics practice sessions:

Sags: You ! smart ass… Get ur ass up & run smart ;)
(quick & sharp voice, encouraging an athlete during practice)

OMG! Just to escape some of grueling athletic sessions, I would be off to Pole vault.
( that’s how i became a pole vaulter & Inter IIT medals :D).
I would run marathon, being a boarder it’s only chance to see the outside world – running up & down the hills of coonoor jungle every day:-
kissing the Wellington war memorial :)
breezing through the golf course of coonoor Gymkhana
Saluting the officers of Defense staff college
flying kisses to cool girls on the streets ;)
Then the Apple by road on the backyards of the crazy skool.
Those were the moments of freedom!

wow! – the lovely Grass flat, where footer would become Rugby on a rainy days B-)

I could still feel the legacy in every bit of my body. Its been getting into shape all these years & I treasure it the most. :)
Some insti. friends say that when I play footer, I actually reveal myself too much ;)
@ gals: beware, I just meant my attitude while playing & nothing else. :D:D

Oh! OMG!: Images of the gala day is still right in front of my eyes.
Every josephite would be proud off & others envy us !
Best part is that it’s a congregation of really cool chicks(gals) on earth .
some kind of festival?


SCENE 5: Lush Green MRC stadium, Wellington cantonment.

It’s the final day of Inter school Athletic Meet. Best of schools from nilgiris and rest of TN under some vague English speaking schools association would be there… Lawrence-Lovedale, Laidllaw memorial, Stanes, Kodai International, Green valley, Breeks memorial, Hildas…….and lot more.. Would all be there competing..

Josephites are champs for some 20 odd consecutive years…. I have not seen it any where – Athletics being such a team work… 'such' sucks but…with such passion, fighting spirit & pride with the spirit of a true sportsmen.

Its such a beauty to see this place in action : its luv, its culture, its system, its pride, its spirit, it’s a Legacy of its own…………Josephites!

In a way, I some how did not get carried away completely by the romance of the whole place, but I did enjoy every bit of it :)

Story goes on & on … Hostel day, cultural's.. calendar is always full!
ACT 2 to ACT 5 (gist)

'Once a Josephite is always a Josephite' words of Mr. Beal
Aldi’s English class used to be unique with unending discussion on every possible GEN topic. :)
No one on earth can link every math concept to philosophy in life like 'haldurai' does.
My love for physics had no bounds with never ending experiments that I guess Suzan mam is still expecting me to become some kind of scientist. ;)
The thundering voice of french mam, who is young in her late 70s.

We haven’t heard of tuition's/ extra classes / entrance coaching…, passing board exam was considered an achievement. I was crazy enough among this craziness to try for IIT-JEE along with Zanef. I just skipped one of the weekly movie for JEE prep & that was talk of the skool ( hey , some one kept away from movie lastnight & was fuckin studying : what crap). We would have almost watched every Decent English movie that had come out in the decade (action, comedy, romance.. )
Dumm skool!
Humm :| Dude, I swear its no hype!

One heck of a crazy dumm skool : others would call it, but then it was so lively & real. Or probably its for everyone to discover for themselves which is dumm, crazy & cool/real.

For some reason, we keep changing and experimenting with our self. May be -
“Change is the only thing that's permanent” & at the same time
“There is a line of thread connecting all these changes” ha! what a paradox !!!

My words run into pages & pages… about childhood, about college, about insti(home sweet home) and about every damn thing that off late I don’t feel like posting more. Guess I should let it all die with me forever & ever. :(

We did not learn 12th maths / 12th physics / JEE maths / JEE physic but simply as raw maths & physics as raw & real……

May be, it was just my perception & not really true, but truth itself is one such perception that we believe in it to be true… Wow! ’What an Idea – sir Ji’.

Inceptive Luv :)

Inceptive Luv !
Such unconditional! Such belief! Such unexpectation! Such luv!

Half heartedly – back in the window seat of the bus : Wind blowing over my head, Breeze watering the eyes, trying to knock off a tear drop in vain. Soo much of heaviness, that the ‘surface tension’ did not give in. :P

In search of some thing , got plugged to the earphones – playing ‘ye doorian’ or ‘Tum se hi’ – forgot which one, as always :D . As I was getting into the song – something suddenly happened – seems like I got into Inception ;)

Layer 1
{
A sunny afternoon, I am walking on the road side after a heavy lunch at ‘Andhra Mess’.
I was Chilled!
What? Chilled under hot sun : Cut the crap !

Yep! Chilled & frozen to a still ! admiring a cute black doggy – musky and shape built to perfection, that its female counterparts would put their tongue out for ;)

Still frozen to a still, I’m admiring the doggy waving its tail as if a car viper automatically reacting to a hailstorm, shaking its body as if swimming through the air and for n’th time coming around a really vague man :-

Unattended beard for he has no savings to trim
Untidy torn cloths for he has no change cloths
Unworthy sack of scrap for he has no other possession

Who he is, where he comes from is not a thing for that doggy, for its unconditional luv!

Such Unconditional! Such Luv!

Just at this time, some thing happens again – seems like I got into another Inception ;)

Layer 2
{
Fishermen moving around in boats for their living
Fish racing faster & faster for their life
Clouds closing in for its time has come
Rain droplets splashing down for its place has come

There I stood,In knee high chilling backwaters of pulicat lake with sea shore as background!
I am chilled!

What? You are chilled again – cut the crap :(
Don’t go freeze urself now!

Yep! I can freeze no more!

Everything else the fishermen, the fish, the clouds, the drops are frozen to a still. I’m
Admiring that little pretty girl for she is lost in the joy of everything around as if experiencing for the first time ever.
Guess what? I am lost in her joy - Watching her Jumping around in the backwaters, trying to touch every falling rain drop, Feeling the clouds in her finger tips and splashing water with her tiny little legs on me :) I just join her actions in flesh & blood.

Galloping every bit of energy in her, she would come running towards me in the madness of joy, then jump & launch herself to cling on to my neck:) least bothering about falling or drowning for she just believed in me!

Yep! I can freeze no more! I just can’t let her belief down.

She would runaway from me & again run back into me with ever more madness of joy! Such belief! Such Luv!

To me everything else was frozen to still but for that pretty she & her joy.

I was lost in her joy, was living through her eyes loosing my identity!
Expecting nothing in return but for her tunes to sing & dance with! :)

Such belief! Such unexpectation! Such luv!

Just at this time, some thing happens again – seems like I got into another Inception ;)

Layer 3
{
Insane to Max - lost forever – singing the song ‘you are my sunshine, my only….’
I am drifting & floating & …

*** missing all 3 layers ‘}’

Wait a sec! wait a sec!
“It is not as is seems to be” – remembering the dialog from movie ‘The Recruit’ :P
How will I know if I was into inception or living for real?
I just have no clue :D

Am not sure if it was all real or if I was copied to various layers of inception that I was living parallely :P………What so ever - I am enjoying every moment & every breath of it in sacroscant.

Living every moment to the fullest with no past to crib! & no future to worry !!!
Wow!

Such unconditional! Such belief! Such unexpectation! Such luv!
An Inceptive Luv! :)

Thy BraveHearts – its about two little runaway kids whom I met while traveling!

Such beauty! Such innocence! Such bravery!

Sun was just about to set in the temple town of madurai. I am running to catch a bus to coimbatore after a few meetings. Yep, Lunch was skipped or forgotten as it often happens :), caught up with a puff and some junk food to keep my tummy calm I got into the bus.

Two little kids sitting alone caught my eyes, thought I could get into some simple and interesting chat. Wah ! I was blown over by hearing to the conversation just as I took the seat next to them.

Conversation went on like this:-

conductor: where are you going?

Boys: coimbatore

Conductor: get me 120 rs.

Boys: ( one puts his little hand into the pocket of his old half trouser: pulls out a bunch of 10 rs notes)

Puts it all together and gives 70 to the conductor

Conductor: I need 120.

Boys: (with a cute smile) We ate for the rest of the cash :).

Conductor: take out 120 or get down :(

Boys: (with an innocent look) We were very hungry, so we ate for the rest of the cash.

Driver interrupts and says “give them half ticket or some thing, poor kids”

Thus travel ticket was issued..

Oh I thought its going to be dam interesting :P, with these boys.

There was no victorious smile or rather a bit of relief as they got the ticket. May be they aren’t aware of what’s happening around or may be they knew that this is what is going to happen.

Bus is fast moving away from the big temples into the country side with green fields on one side and railway line on the other side. Soon a lot of questions are thrown to these kids by the people around………

where are you boys from?

Where are you going to ?

Who are you going to meet there?

Do you go to school?

Bla bla bal…

Amazing! They are siblings from mattuthavani, one was 8 yrs & the other was 11 yrs, Going to a specific bakery in coimbatore, to meet their brother, expired father, mom working in brick chamber & not attending school.

wow !

Such Clarity in thy words! Such Beauty in thy voice! Such Innocence in thy acts! Such Bravery in thy heart!

this went on for half an hour,

then they ran out of gas! Couldn’t manipulate anymore – words were short-circuited & clarity was lost.

Ya, They are going to bakery & don’t know where it is, they r not siblings but cousins, They are not from matuthavani but some other place, they are going to rescue their brother stuck in coimbatore…..! & what not !

Still Such Beauty in thy voice! Such Innocence in thy acts! Such Bravery in thy heart! but for clarity !

(what’s wrong –its just clarity that was missing, As if we are clear about what life has for us tomorrow and where we are heading to :P )

I simply said that I know ppl in coimbatore who will be able to offer some job…. There it was evident…! Their eyes got lit up as if powered directly from the lightning !zzzzz

A lady sitting behind got little loud saying that these guys will be kidnapped there and instructed them to get back home and go to school & bla blab la…

The collective wisdom of people around was that these boys should be handed over to police and returned home safely.

Still such beauty! Such innocence! Such bravery! ,

I haven’t seen it any where else.

Random thoughts went on…

May be these guys are trying to run away from some trouble

May be we are preventing the emergence of future ambani’s :P

May be they will get into bigger trouble :(

Just at that time the bus braked in front of the police station. Myself and few others got down with the boys….didn't knowing if any thing better could have been done.

Even the little cash they had went into that unused half ticket.

The inspector questioned these boys.... ... ...

the kids were still going strong ! but for clarity !

Bus honked .... I had to go - a half hearted one !

Such Beauty ! Such Innocence ! Such Bravery ! ---------- Thy Bravehearts !
