Euphoria

Serendipitously I knocked at the door of knowledge
Unaware that it is the portals of learning I barge
into a magical world I stepped
Incognizant of the aromatic source, I stopped
to inhale a pleasant, dewy petrichor
from the knowledge-shower
It rose at intervals, gently patted my shoulder
And said, be mindful child!
Every moment is precious
Every moment is divine
Each moment you are blessed
Each moment you shine

Like a bard I sing the hymns in solitude
For I met angels of fortitude
Each one bore a distinct fragrance
Each one glowed a vivacious radiance
A wand of knowledge they waved on my head
A kiss of learning they planted on my forehead
Spinning the magic of fleeting lights around
A handful of fairy dust they sprinkled to surround

A new angel I met every now and here
Who left a Christmas miracle every year
I know not how many angels and fairies
I meet in my life’s mountains and prairies
The path of my life is guided indeed
Alas! I tend to forget this divine deed
Supine, I muse, Oh what a clinomaniac I am!
To miss wondering at the aurora over the skyline
I remind myself of the euphoria when I peddle off gleefully
in and around this idyllic haven I reside in blissfully

In my haven neither are sequoia nor am I a pluviophile
It’s just the bougainvillea that bloom all the while
But a whiff of the desert waft
Is such euphoriant draft
in this land of barren cracks
to set me back on trusted tracks!

What went wrong?

It has been a few months that I bought this book - Essentialism by Greg McKeown . I found the book very realistic and baring the naked truth of my life in my face. But could not get even half way through it... as usual, got distracted with the non-essentials in my, after all, plain Jane life. I hate to say this but my life is mundanely simple. There are no excitements, no yahoo moments, not much of travel, no great social connect either. But I do have a bunch of good friends. Interestingly, I have picked up good friends in all walks of my life. I am neither a chatty kind nor a monk. And, am happy for the fact that my friends do not hate me. I do not offer opinions and advises, unless specifically asked for. Nor do I criticize anybody 'coz I do not know what the other person is/was caught up in. In a nutshell, I do not waste my energy on this stuff. And, I am meticulous in whatever work I am given to do. These are a few things that I am proud of. Well, coming back to the book in re...

Kshema's 7 Quick Takes Friday (Volume 05/2015)

And then Lord said, "Let there be week days"! --- 1 --- Manic Monday Hello Monday! Starting day of the week is usually the one filled with frenzy. You are the day when the "To Do" list that's written in the first morning hours is long; and the Inbox gets flooded too. Chase and get chased; and it runs into the other days of the week when the chase weakens by Wednesday and tries to pause by Friday, only to start afresh the next Monday. Home takes backseat. --- 2 --- Turn Up Tuesday Hey there Tuesday! Work craziness continues with growing number of rush hours, calls, clicking and clacking of keyboard and mouse, multiple windows of word processors, spreadsheets, and browsers strewn open across multiple systems. Programmers feverishly scripting away their ideas to meet the expectations of their principals amidst balancing the poking requests of a network of users.... silently cursing themselves and their days for they cannot satisfy all. The...

Kshema's 7 Quick Takes Friday (Launch Volume)

--- 1 --- I am picking up my writing strings again :) Feel like writing these days. Hope to continue writing and post atleast every Friday. --- 2 --- Thanks to my good friend Jason Pannone@ Pannoneappetit for introducing me to this wonderful template. I really liked it a lot. It kind of gives you the flexibility of writing different pieces, broken down into manageable chunks and integrate different formats like text, audio, video, graphics etc. --- 3 --- On a lighter note....... rightly said! Isn't it true that we all need some introspection and retrospection some time in our lives? I do it quite often. Not just introspect and retrospect but I also feel one should spend some time in absolute solace with one's self. --- 4 --- Weekend usually means cleaning, cooking, music and possibly a movie or two (if the TV Gods are merciful enough to uphold my interest). Last week it was khaman dhokla , sabudana khichdi   seasoned with Rang De Basanti . I wonder what ...
