Skepticism on a not so holy holiday
People go away from their homes,
Because they can't manage to stay,
At home on those holy holidays,
Because of the noise.
Times for contemplation and learning,
Is broken by the loud song singing, And competitions which seek whose,
Music system can play louder.
Times for meeting friends and relatives,
Is broken by the messages and forwards,
Sent on WhatsApp and Telegram whose,
Message came earlier.
Times for celebrating a holiday,
Is broken by the loud rhetoric,
Sent on social media,
That make no sense.Never miss a post from

Holiday
It’s been a fulfilling couple of weeks as a father. Every jump and every cry, every leap I was there to catch. Every day was a milestone and every day a new something. Every stolen word you knew where it came from because you were there all along. Every tantrum you could decode w...
Day 5 - Feast at the temple
A trip to native is never complete without having the festival lunch at temple. The sadya served is considered tasty and precious gift from the Creator and hence the seniors in the family make sure that we attend it atleast once or maybe more in a year.
