UNKNOWN HORIZONS



I woke up in his arms. He was sleeping peacefully. He looked happy. Perhaps he was smiling in his dreams. I slipped out of bed quietly and headed to the terrace. I saw the sun rise. It was an enthralling experience.
I was on a holiday after a really long time. The little bungalow was situated on a hilltop amidst the forest. The exquisite beauty of the surroundings is beyond description. Even poetry would fail here. I was lost in such thoughts when familiar arms engulfed me with passion and elegance, his head resting on my shoulders. “Good Morning”, he whispered in my ears. I smiled and wished him back. As I turned to him, he somewhat loosened his grip but again came back to his former self. “So trekking today ?” he asked. I just managed to say a yes. Just then, the housekeeper came with two buckets of water and my dear husband regained his composure.

We were ready to explore the forest after a warm bath and a light breakfast. It was a crunchy, chilly morning but we were at ease. It was interesting to see those quaint little activities in the wild, which I had long forgotten to notice. We heard the gush of the stream and rapidly advanced to it. Lo and behold ! It was nature at its best. The entire scenery was so very heavenly. We frolicked around like school kids. Time flew by and we had to return. The return trip was memorable too. At least for me. He kept quite close to me and showed me some remarkable sights which I had failed to notice earlier. We got back in time for lunch and I could see, he was hungry as hell. I had a short nap thereafter and he did all the packing. We left for the concrete jungle after witnessing a glorious sunset. I thanked him for the wonderful weekend during the return journey. He had already dozed off and I smiled again. The weekend was certainly an euphoria.

A fortnight later I was surprised. Quite pleasantly though. I was bubbling with unknown emotions. I was ecstatic ,on the other hand I felt warm tears trickling through my cheeks. I called him home immediately. All of a sudden, I grew apprehensive. Would he be as glad as me ? What if he wouldn’t ? He almost rushed into the house. I handed him the report. His eyes widened and for a moment looked staggered. An inconclusive expression. I closed my eyes anticipating something really bad. But I was terribly mistaken. Perhaps he was in a stupor for a second. Then I heard the words “Oh my God !! I just can’t believe this….I never knew I was destined to be so happy…….I love you so much …” He locked me in an embrace , he was uncontrollably happy. I didn’t know what to do. I don’t remember when he looked into my eyes and said,”You know I feel its her. She’s back. This time we won’t lose her.” Tears welled up in my eyes. Her face flashed across my mind. She’s coming back certainly…now its my turn to be the friend, philosopher and guide. At that instant, I decided I would name my baby after her. My thoughts drifted to the jolliest days of my life- with Shweta Di and Tushar.

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

PRE-ANNIVERSARY INSANITY

MY LIFE AND TIMES will be a year old on 26th of this month. Blogging has been my greatest pleasure since then. I would like to thank my countless (?) readers who have added to my experience on bloggerville. A huge thank you to all of you ! Why I blog ? #It’s a good pastime (lol...I guess it’s a lot more) #I get to read some real good posts (and take cues) #I get to read some crap posts too( no offence meant-actually they enhance my positive self esteem :D) #My friends and relatives see me in a new light here ( After all, now they know that I’v some good qualities too :D ) #I made some good blogger friends with whom I can have fun. I’m sure many of my loyal readers are still reading. For them, there will be a treat on the D-day. ( Don’t raise your expectations sky high-its just a post - no awards/interviews/guest posts ). But I’ll give my best to fill your time with a good read. I was turning the pages of my personal diary today and I found this. This is for you, my dearest blog (my
