The Day Smile was POSSIBLE





That magic show wasn't anything great. It wasn't marvelous nor was it that spectacular; yet, I'd categorize that day into a remembrance because I saw what my dear ones' happiness meant to me.

I was too bored that day, I didn't want anything to be done because I was a little depressed. I didn't want to leave my green backyard, the trees or the yummy tea in the morning; neither the familiar sounds and smells, the platoon of brown ants in the mulberry bush who only went in circles, a flock of birds chirping loud, cutting through the sun rays-laden tree branches or the stealthy chipmunk that fluttered its bushy tail at each turn it took.
My life was beginning to shape itself, letting itself loose from the knotted and twined bonds of tethered viciousness as well as from the chocking love around. How ever, the truckload of responsibilities kept on adding. A day left to pack up for Mumbai and I saw that my folks needed a memorable moment with me. Each second with them has been eventful or marvelous for me but I needed to give them what THEY WANTED and not something I WISHED FOR- There is an obvious difference.

Sun took his own sweet time to wade through the 3 hands of the 360 degree clock. Through out the day, pictures of a calm and blissful life away from the city tightened its grip on my heart walls. It dampened the chambers with love and made it pound beautifully, rhythmically and cautiously.


Evening had its charm. And soon did it start to lend its scurrying musical notes, so as to wind up the day. Dad was more than happy to take us to the Magic Show and I was truly lucky to see him laughing like a little child at one of the tricks the performer put up. I wouldn't ever get such a lovely picturesque even if I had paid an actor to enact the scene for me. My Dad, with his hands clapping, smiling and cheering looked at the stage like a little boy, awed and amused at the Magic World and Magic Uncle. How much I want to relive that moment; see that moment again, rewind and replay the same instance again and again; Just to see him smile like a baby...

Sure Life has a LOT to offer..!!

"വീട് എവിടെയാ" എന്ന് പണ്ടൊക്കെ ആൾകാർ ചോദിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഞാൻ എന്ത് പറയണം എന്ന് അന്തം വിട്ടിരുന്നു. ഞാൻ പഠിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരുന്ന airforce balbharati എന്ന് ഒരിക്കൽ ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ ഒരു ആന്റി കുറെ ചിരിച്ചു. കാരണം ഒരു 13  വയസ്സ് വരെ ഇന്ത്യയൊട്ടാകെ സഞ്ചരിക്കയല്ലാതെ വീടെവിടെയാ എന്ന് ഒരാളും പറഞ്ഞു തന്നില്ല.. ഒരിക്കൽ ഞാനത് സ്വയം കണ്ടുപിടിക്കയ തന്നെ ചെയ്തു... ആരും പറഞ്ഞതല്ല. പക്ഷെ വീട്ടിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്ന ഭക്ഷണത്തിൽ നിന്നാണ് ഞാൻ അത് മനസിലാക്കിയത്!  അത് വരെ മലയാളി എന്ന് വിശ്വസിച്ചിരുന്ന ഞാൻ, യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ ഒരു "സങ്കര" ആണെന്ന്  അപ്പോഴാണ് പുടികിട്ടീത് ...  കൊണ്ടാട്ടം, ഇലുമ്പിച്ചം പഴം സാദം, തൈർ സാദം, പൊങ്കൽ, പനിയാരം,  മെദു വട എന്നിവ മലയാളികളുടേത് എന്ന് അഹങ്കരിച്ചിരുന്ന ഞാൻ അത് തമിഴ് വിഭവങ്ങളാണെന്നു അറിഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ അത്ഭുതം കൊണ്ട് കൂറി. "അതെങ്ങനെയാ നമ്മൾ മലയാളികൾ ആണെങ്കിൽ തമിഴ് വിഭവങ്ങൾ ഇടയ്ക്കിടെ വീട്ടിൽ ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നത്?" എന്ന എന്റെ "നിഷ്കളങ്കമായ"  ചോദ്യത്തിനുത്തരമായി എന്റെ അച്ഛമ്മ നാല് തമിഴ് ഡയലോഗുകൾ അങ്ങട് കാച്ചികളഞ്ഞു !  അപ്പഴല്ലേ ഗുട്ടൻസ് മനസിലായത്! എന്റെ അച്ഛമ്മ പക

  DCFC has always been a favourite band of mine.  But this song - "I'll possess your heart" is the most cutting of all. It's sharp but extremely subtle. Ignoring the stalker-ish-ness of the singer, I relate to this traveler in the video- a lot.  When I went to Seoul, one day I woke up really early morning around at 4:00 am. I made coffee in the coffee-machine in the hotel room at Gangnam, sat on the window pane, opened my playlist on my comp, overlooking the posh cityscape, listening to music, sipping coffee and only to realize that my window faced the east side where the sun rose.  As the orange fringes started appearing, cutting through billboards and tall steel structures, this song began in the background, catching pace. I cannot express the sheer joy I experienced in that moment- the calm, the morbid pleasure in it all.  If this particular moment from 4 years ago is so vivid for me, you must understand how significantly this has impacted me!  Do yourself a favour
