Why?

Why does winter fall,
With biting cold, the weather tart?
Then why does summer shine,
Warming the cockles of our hearts?
And then why does monsoon strike,
Thunder ripping everything apart,
Followed by another winter...

An angel treads...

“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”

Well, the fools have been driven out. An angel has arrived...

Till next time.

Of beauty innocent

Yesterday, as I was returning from a long, tired day of work, I saw something to relieve me of my fatigue and bring a freshness to my state of mind. As I was standing on the railway platform, waiting for the train that would take me home, I saw a child, a baby rather, cuddled up in its mother's arms, staring intently at me. I looked back at it, and it did something very ordinary, and yet magical... it smiled... It was one of the most innocent and most beautiful things that I have ever seen. The smile was not meant to entice me into buying a "free" credit card, or to ask for a loan, or to get me to buy insurance, or to act as an apologetic yet indulgent starter to anything I might not find very appealing. It was just that – a beautiful, innocent smile.

It saddens me to think what some people choose to make of their lives and grow up to be. The only comforting factor is that the choice is in our hands.

Till next time.

Season 3

Yes, you read right... I have named this post "Season 3", even though was no season 2...! I remember reading once that Winamp (yes, our most beloved music player) never came up with a v4... After v3, they directly brought out v5... Because they felt their latest version was so good, they simply skipped a version number! Drawing inspiration from the idea, I name this post "Season 3" simply because it has been so long since my last post!

Till next time. (And this time, the "next time" won't be that long!)
