In The Traffic

The car drew up to a traffic signal and came to a halt as thelight turned red. A truck went by leaving a cloud of smoke and dust in its wake. As the dsut settled i saw them standing on the divider.

She was dressed in a brightly coloured salwar kameez, an orange and silver sweater and worn chappals,looking around, bored. He wsnt looking around at all and I didnt notice anything about him except the bundle of the joy he held in his hands, swaddled tightly in a cute pink blanket.

And right there, in the middle of the road, with traffic whizzing by on either side, he bent down and kissed the little pink chapped cheek peeking out. Again and again and again. He couldnt stop kissing his baby and he didnt care that he was in themiddle of the road and he didnt care what the world thought about a man so openly smitten by his baby.

The light changed to green, the care jerked tolife and sped off. I turned around my neck to keep them in my sight for as long as possible.
It's always beautiful to watch a father falling in love with his daughter.

Realisation Of My Love.

From day one, I took a vow to change my ways for the better, to bring about a new person within myself. One that could stand up, and not crumble to the floor. Little by little, I built up what i had for so long fought for. Now I live happily and in harmony with him.

We have grown from that day on. Deeper in love and affection. We have grown stronger together.

For it was me, who let him down, time after time.

In the beginning, I was weak, In search of the rock. I didnt know what i wanted, i was too young to truly know. The life i thought i wanted was far beyond i thought i really wanted. But now i know, this is the life she dreamt up and this was the person whom she loved ever. In time, I grew up up. She realised the true meaning of love, happiness and unity.

I think back now on the day that it all happened, and see that my old ways was leading to down and beaten path. I thought, that i needed someone else to lead me the way. I needed to clear a path for herself, But myself alone. could not always make it through. I realised that another person was needed to help her along in times that i felt i could not go on, that it was too hard, too difficult....

That was the time when HE came and said, 'Come, my sweetheart, Take My hand and heart and I will show you the way. I will be there when the time get tough, to pick you up and carry you though, cause as long as we are here together, nothing can block the path.... All I ask in return, is that you do the same. Take my hand and help me though the brush, clear my way,so that I may see, clearly where we need to be.

I have realised my love whcih is true to my feelings and close to my heart and have met MY ULTIMATE MAN.

So have you realised your true love yet ?? Have you met the true person, your soul mate ??

Assumption

I still vividly remember my English teacher Mrs Chopde, who is now no more,way back in my eight grade.... Tall, fiar, neatly worn hair and a voice that made heads turn towards her. Like most teachers she had a favourite statement... 'Dont assume things I didi not mention'
Assume almost implies making an ass of you and me! ASS.U. ME Get it? At that moment it seemed funny and really nothing but just another remark from a teaher who was furious at her students. But today as I look back and think about this, it makes way more sense than i thought.

Now as it seems to emerge from my mind, it comes generoulsy coated with all the ambiguity life has to offer. All that is certain, enveloped with all that is uncertain and intangible...It may sound puzzling at first to know th way lif leadfs us theough its monotonous ways but yet gets to milestones that we seek. On the way we encounter so much that makes what we can call 'LIFE'.

One very nice quote i remember at this point in time is, 'Life is what happens to you when you busy making other plans', So true...... Youassume so many things and make plans but life takes you in an entirely different directions.

The reason this thought came to me was due to a simple incident that occured few years back...... I had just passed out of my 10th grade and had lost my most importnat documents, both my marks sheet and my transfer certificate.

None to my support and help since it was an outright act of my irresponsibility ir carelessness you would say.
It took one month for me to get an admission in a college, and that was ofcourse without given an attendance for me, since I had not submitted my documents till then.

Most of the time, how comfortable we assume that nothing vould ever go wrong with us.
We all do this many time. Infact, almost all the times with our near and dear ones. We assume that nothing can happen,But when it does, it takes us by a shock and surprise.

A neighbor happens to be a part of a car crash, we assume it could never be us
A stranger misses his flight, oh that could never be us.
Terror strikes a country, oh not us NO WAY !!

We forget to count our blessings, forget to give credit to everyone in our lives, and to thank god for what is on our hands. We assume, its all normal and cant change.
We assume way too many things for our own good.
WE ASSUME!!
