To New Beginnings

And Remembering.

I have forgotten my first kiss. I remember who it was with. I think I remember when it was. But that’s it. I do not remember anything else. I do not remember how it felt. Most of all, I do not remember how my heart felt.

Yes. Everything fades over time. No matter how intense a memory... it still fades.

Years from now when us is just a memory locked away in the abandoned corners of the mind. I want to be able to look back at this pages and remember.
Remember the flip-flops of my heart everytime I see you smile.
Remember the song in my head everytime we held hands.
Remember how warm your hugs felt.
Remember the kisses.

I want to remember how it felt to be in love with you.

I want to remember every memory that we have created together.

Shout out to my annoying cousin who pestered me every phone call to get back to blogging !

This blog is no more.

1179 miles

The distance between you and me.

I never knew I’d miss you so much even in unfamiliar lands. I thought it would be easy. After all, we have never walked the tree lined streets together or watched the sun set behind the hills…

The shores I walked with you are a thousand miles away.
And it is you who I have left behind to live with all the memories.

Everyday you see my empty desk, drive past streets we walked together… And yet every time I talk to you are so admirably calm. “Take your time girl”, you tell me in nonchalant tones.

“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”, mused a Roman poet, “Out of sight, out of mind”, said the English one.

Paper Heart

Sometimes the world seems so perfectly perfect, until your perfect world looks into your eyes and whispers, “I kept my life on hold for you. They were your your dreams not mine."
And then,
you look back at those smiles and see the reluctance in the depth of those brown eyes. The signs were always so clear you think. But you missed them
And now, its too late,
all you can do is watch...
watch as the wind blows away the million tiny pieces, that was once your heart.

Love

When I was little, every time someone asked me who I wanted to marry, I would say, “An Englishman of course!”

And, for a long time I thought the words “I love you” did not sound as good in any other language... Perhaps that explains my obsession for Englishmen *wink*

But now I am older and ...atleast I like to think... wiser, I know,
Love needs no language.

I forgot.

If forgetfulness is an art, I am THE master.

I have always been forgetful. I used to forget lunch boxes and home work assignments, sometimes even tests ... twice actually, and in both cases it was English tests. Phew! ...
and now I forget appointments and status meetings. I used to end up going for breaks at exactly 10:28 and miss the 10:30 daily status meetings INSPITE of outlook reminders! Go figure!! ... thankfully new Lead calls for Weekly meetings only, that too, she forgets!!

But what I did yesterday takes the cake.

I sent a status mail without the status... Non IT people read I made apple pie without the apples
Yeah, sure... people miss subjects, attachment. But your truely missed the body of the mail!

I am trying very hard to visualise what the execution status looks like. Or is this an innovative way of saying no progress ;)

New Decade

At the stroke of midnight, we watched the stars that lit the velvet skies float gently down to earth, like dandelion dusts... sparkling dandelion dusts...

My new year began beautifully. Hope yours did too.

Happy 2011 to you all!
