I left my cell phone at home, and didn’t recall bringing my Lunch Box. I nearly missed my bus. I tried opening my mail, Alas!!! It says “Wrong Password… Try again”. What’s wrong?? Nothing was going well today. “Was it really going to be my Bad Hair Day…?” I whispered to myself . I gazed around and looked for someone to talk to. Just then my eyes were on an orange envelope lying in my unzipped bag. My hands were faster than my thought. Quickly I reached to the envelope. The address clearly says it was for me. Actually nothing can excite me than receiving a letter and going through it. I was just a second away from opening it when a shadow appeared in front of me and found myself talking to the stranger. I left the letter back in my bag unopened. It was a week ago I received a letter. In the rush for some work I forgot to go through it. The ray of summer sun was brightly peeping through my bedroom window. It was Sunday and it seemed a bright day. To the left of my pillow, my phone...
“Sometimes it’s better to bunk a class with your friends and enjoy with them, because today when I look back, marks never make me laugh, but memories do”…… A.P.J Abdul Kalam. I remember escaping my classes and attending the local rituals at our village. It all happened when I was a kid and studying in Jyenkhana. Come June, then most of us would not be seen during our afternoon classes. The annual ritual in our community usually starts from June. I and my group won’t be seen in most of the afternoon class. We would bunk and directly go to the place where ritual is taking place. Ritual then was like our afternoon classes, Must attend!! The best part of attending ritual is eating, drinking changkay,talking, singing and most of all the dancing after drinking changkay. We never bothered about our attendance. It was so much fun to escape the afternoon classes where most students fall asleep. I could still vividly remember us eating our dinner on the way....
The touch of leaves falling over you, the feeling of chill breeze brushing against your cheeks, yeah! Finally the fall is here. Back home the Blessed Rainy Day is the indication of the last monsoon and the start of a new season. I was walking along the beach of Scheveningen here in the Hauge and watching the waves play with the sand. A group of granny playing on the beach distracted me and I was gazing them with a deep thought. They were living their youthful days. It just reminded me that age is just a numerical but inside, our heart never grows old. I went into the sea to feel the waves but then the peace environment took me into a thought. A thought of my late uncle came ringing in my mind. Today was his 49 th day and I still couldn’t believe that he is no longer with us. I smiled through tears chewing over my days with my late uncle. The last autumn, I remember us together talking over a cup of tea. At the end it is just the memories that can live and will be valued for...
