A Basket of Fallen Leaves: April 2011

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Sunday, April 17, 2011. For a thing called love. 8220;He doesn’t love me anymore I think”, said Suzan. She sounded low; and kept the phone before I could speak anything. I sat thinking for some time and smiled as many times her words rehearsed in my ears. Can anyone really start or stop loving? Can we really plan ‘who to love’ like we plan a project or marriage? Do we really love only once? Well, I don’t think so. Whether you will be happy to see him/ her happy? And it may some...

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Sunday, July 15, 2012. It was around 2'o clock of the early morning of 24th December 2009, we were traveling to Dwarka in a train from Mumbai. Expectedly everyone around was sleeping. Kuhoo and Adi were on the lower berth. I was trying to sleep lying on the upper one. I looked at Kuhoo. She was. In the start of the month she had complained that I was getting too involved in office again. I liked the hills and she liked the beaches. I asked her choice and. She chose my choice.

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Saturday, December 29, 2012. It was a quiet evening. I sat with Kuhoo after a long day. We talked occasionally, for the most of evenings with her, words aren’t required. 8220;Why get ahead of ourselves? Let us stay simple and see things as they come” Kuhoo spoke. 8220;I agree, though it’s been difficult to resist the drag. People around try to show what they are not; talk about things they hardly know; and do things they seldom understand”, I said. For few days I lived a. I als...

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Sunday, January 25, 2015. Around 1600 BC, an eruption of Santorini volcano formed volcanic ash that reached the Cretan shores and wiped off the Minoan civilization. Some debate that tsunamis were the real cause; but a civilization perished, a civilization that had attained maturity in almost all scales of societal, economic and military strength. I find it difficult to believe that their deeds or. Does God pre-decide all outcomes? Actually if God didn't know our choice, he woul...

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Saturday, July 2, 2011. Search of a new God. There were stories of a small grass land where the morning sun shined bright, of the gulmohar trees those swaggered with the monsoon winds, of the fragrance of the soil that foretold the onset of seasons, of the far songs that heralded the days of festivals; I've heard them all as Granny used to tell those lying next to me, under those thousand stars, making me sleep. Only I could make her run; only she could make me eat. Unlike earl...

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Sunday, June 17, 2012. The show must go on. The pain of loss or failure is felt only to those who can succeed. But this is story of a person who continues to live trying something, knowing that he won’t be able to succeed. Does he live every moment of his life with the pain of loss? Since the time I’ve known him, I have been thinking. I guess some of us know. I wish all of us could know. When the train came, I realized I was wrong. Some Mumbai locals are always crowded. A nonde...

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Saturday, May 19, 2012. Sharing herewith what my friend Anu Lall. Wrote as 'Calcutta training chronicles' in 2003. Anu, Vijay and I had gone to Kolkata to impart SAP HCM Training. She was at it again, pulling my leg, but indeed it's such a treasure having such friends like her around. I felt like it’s the beginning of a never ending fruitless journey. Classroom session. Manish giving a demo and lecture on the process. A User, a typical one,. Not paying any attention to what was...

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Sunday, February 26, 2012. It’s been more than two months since we shifted to KL. We still find ourselves rapt with nostalgia; and with multitude of emotions that creeps in, quietly and more frequently than we can ignore. Perhaps we haven’t yet found the connection, with the land and with people here; makes us value all we had in India. 8220;Papa, those toys aren't broken! 8221;, Adi sounded bit whining as I continued packing. 8220;So what is it? 8221; Kuhoo smiled. 8220;There ...

But that’s optional”. 8220;Al Gore”. I replied. “He is one of those who have taken up the fight against common human greed”. Today we justify our actions only on a profit scale, and that too on the.

A Basket of Fallen Leaves. Friday, September 27, 2013. Few years back in Bangalore, rats used to cut the wires of my car. After paying several visits and repairs at service centre, infuriated, one morning, I bought some rat poison and kept that inside the bonnet. By the very next day, the rats started dying. Let us look at the tussle some societies and countries in the world are undergoing today. Behind every political unrest, economic crisis or so called holy wars, the root cause that comes out is a...
