bUhByEee.. "eMmA".....

It was 7 in the morning.. unlike the usual hustle at airports, the trivandrum airport- especially the domestic - was hardly busy.. there were just few people at the departure zone.. in fact i could almost count the people there..
* daddy, mummy, my bro, prabhechi (sis n law), appu(my dearest cutie pie - 3 month ol' nephew vignesh), prabechi's achan and amma
* 2 ladies at the coffee stall - busily discussing abt something in the newspaper
* 3 of the kingfisher staff - guys in red uniform - all ready to carry your baggage
* a kingfisher "chick" - ahem "Air hostess" - adorning a mini skirt and shirt-red again - sitting cross legged and looking a lil more than bored
* 2 security staff - yawning and stealing glances at the "chick" ;)
* and last but ofcourse not the least,a handsome hunk.. ;) with his wife :( (newly wed northy couples - obviously on there way back from a honeymoon at kerala.. ha!!!)

ofcourse.. there were a few more other ppl moving about but they dint play around the departure zone for long as the rest of them did..

the regular coaching session on "safety in the flight" was full on by both the set of elders.. 4 mouths were giving classes restlessly and 1.25 ears were listening to them.. 0.75% of my bro's was stuck to the outer world (me too joined in).. my adorable prabechi was all ears to them.. the kutty appos was half in sleep.. like his dad.. hihihi..

as time started slipping.. the chatter reduced.. the laughter eased.. there was moist in everyone's eyes jst like the fog around us..

emotions took over.. the chill wind complimented the agony.. all of a sudden it struck.. the fact that our lil one, " appu ", would be miles away in a lil time..
that gurgly laugh, the innocent smile, the naughty whimper, the cranky nights, the lullabies and the night outs would be only instances to be remembered from now on..

tears were uncontrolable.. the ladies in the lot were all in action.. the men were merry and hugging and kissing there gudbyes to the lil fellow..

as i pecked the sweet soft cheeck of appu.. he gave out a burpy laughter.. it felt as if he was telling me - ' ey "emma" .. next time i see you.. i need to see a smiling face , stop sulking "emma" '

and with this.. he was off.. to alight the flight.. off with his mum & dad.. leaving behind trillion memories for his grandparents and "emma".... :)

LoVe Is NeVeR oLd....

Sunday evening.. a slight rain, swoosh hoosh wind and a cozy comfy climate..
perfect for a hot crunchy dosa and coffee at one of the veggy eatouts..
somthing like "Arul Jothi"

So out we went.. me, mum, daddy, 'pappa' aunty and krishnan kutty(KK)uncle..

the eatout was bustling with the usual weekend rush..
on one side the bearers were busy taking orders..
and on the other, the diners were busy munching up the delicacies..

at last, we managed seats at the far end of the restaurant..
We settled at our seats..
another family was seated at the table adjacent to ours..
a father, mother, 2 kids and their grandfather..

the grandfather- a man in his late 60's, void of teeth - but full of smiles, gray hair, white dhoti & white shirt and a walking stick clutched in his hands, looked around him with a great deal of happiness and contentment..
with wavering movements, he got up from the seat to move towards the wash basin.. passing our table, he paused to take a look at us..
and with the most beautiful toothless smile ever seen, he exchanged pleasantries with KK uncle and introduced himself very proudly as the grandfather of the 2 kids sitting at his table.. the family smiled back at us, feeling a little embarrassed at the elderly man's converse.. then with the same smiling face and wavery balance, he moved on to the wash basin..

this gesture touched KK uncle's heart a lot (ours too, undoubtedly)..
his eyes were moist.. he turned to the grandfather's family sitting across our table and said " Nowadays it is such that nobody even bothers to say a hello even if they know each other. Either people are busy with their lives or they just don't want to "waste" their time in socializing.. people like him ( motioning towards the grandpa ) are the ones who teach us such lessons.. And not only that, nowadays the trend is such that the children do not take their aged parents out for dinner or shopping, fearing to confront any situation like this which might seem embarrassing to them.. I really appreciate your gesture and love towards your father. God bless you.. "

Grandpa's family was very happy to receive such a wonderful compliment and thanked KK uncle..

Our parents love us unconditonally... young or old.. it is always there.. same should be with us.. na?

I LoVe YoU

" chai chai" " kaapi kaapi"
a sea of people filled the railway station..
all around was full of chaos and hurry..
all sorts of people filled the place..
some waving good byes
some waiting expectantly for their loved ones..
a few others travelling all by themselves..

they rushed towards the train at the first platform...
"its A1, .. " he said..
" careful with the bags son.. you walk on.. am right behind u " she tells

after walking a little more, they reached A1, his allotted boogie.
the son waited for his mother to reach..
as he waited, he noticed her graying hair..
her slow but the ever eager footsteps..
her wrinkled but loving face..
her unclear but kind moist eyes..
his heart felt heavy..
how much he loved her..
suddenly aware of the brimming tears, he looked away..

she reached by him and stood near watching him pay the porter ..
her son..
how much she loved him..

and now it was time for him to leave..
it was time.. to seperate..
her heart skipped a beat..
she felt it striking fast..

he caught her eyes..
her ever vibrant eyes, were filled with tears..
with a heavy heart, he hugged her..
and whispered into her ears" i love you amma " ..

the horn blew out aloud..
the train was all set to move..
he felt it hard to move away from her..

"take care son" with this, she pushes him towards the train, motioning him to get in..

with heavy footsteps he gets into the train..
and within seconds, the train starts moving..
she walks with the moving train, trying to catch his gaze..
tears fall off his eyes..

the train moved faster, and now she was very far for him to catch even a glimpse..
she watched the train go out of the station..

now it would be just her..

she wonders " this is life .. this is life "

sAnds of tImE....

lost in a sea of dreams..
those moist eyes beheld hurt..
they saw no love..

her tender hands shivered
she yearned for care
for the forsaken love
for his warmth..

alas! the sands of time took him away..
to a world so far..
that she knew not where..

"Oh my love.. come back..
without you, life is an empty shack.."

she wept for him..
at his grave..

quietness unfolded deep into the sky..
clouds clanged to grumble..
the raindrops jumped to sprinkle..
and mother nature showered love as rain..

i know no one can take her place.. but.. mmm
now its time for me to give her some rest..
And so here i am.. searching for a substitute...
searching for a new phone.. :D
My new love.. :)

Love ..... hurts?

“When I see you smile and know that it is not for me, that is when I will miss you the most”

Sounds really sad.. dosent it? I suppose that is love.. You love som1 and then you know that, "that som1" can never be yours.. Still you keep loving and hoping that the person stays happy always...

Though it is said that all this is filmy and not happening in reality.. Many wouldnt approve of it... Coz
we have seen a million of such emotions flowing around... Among people we know.. Out of all the love stories that happen, many could be just infactuation... But some times it is so hard that it takes time to get out of the dream world... :)

And wen reality hits.. boy!! it hits bad.... From the clouds of love and the breeze of emotions and romance you fall down with a bump.. And then you know that "hey... it was just a dream"...

“Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes… just be an illusion.”
