The Window Seat

Spell bound was I by the beauty around
Fleeting by my window as streaks of green
The trees, the grass and the leaves
It is to the Creator I say thanks
And then I see creation at its best
Her eyes sparkling with the life of youth
To me time suddenly decides to slow
Or is it I who wants to see her for a bit longer
My heart races yearning her gaze to meet mine
But then she decides to alight
And I see her no more

Phone

Got my new phone and im hearing my old phone saying not to let it go. Many times I have felt to throw the old one to the wall. But I didn't. It taught me to have patience and to trust it. And so I did. Now after almost two years, its being replaced with a better one. That's technology. Either keep in pace or moan and whine with the older gadgets in your hands. But it no way I was compelled. The new shiny piece of technology with me is Asus Zenfone 2.

It's strange that an inanimate object such as a phone can teach you something in your life.

MASCOM (Manorama School of Communication)

It's been 10 months here and boy I must agree this is unlike any other institution for learning journalism. I had actually wished to join here a year before, but I couldn't. Call it fate or a prayer answered, here am I about to graduate from MASCOM a year later.
This is not advert, but I strongly believe this place is awesome. You literally live here. The fact that you ought to publish your own "stories" every week is exciting and thrilling. Agreed, you may not find much in this sleepy town of Kottayam, but then you are taught to develop a new perspective of things around you.
Before joining I had this doubt if I journalism was my thing. I'm kinda shy and slow to speak. But now after 10 months in here, I don't regret a bit.
To survive in here, you need patience, an open heart to get criticism thrown onto your face and a you must be willing to co-operate with your fellow mate. I feel the last one will take you far more than the rest. Help those around you and be humble.
For non-natives Kerala could be a bit difficult and not knowing Malayalam would seem hard. But, you will get used to it.
So I need a pat on my shoulders for making this far. Thank you MASCOM and my colleagues for helping me to become better than what I was yesterday.

Eyes never lie

Isn't the eyes the most beautiful creation? Apart from seeing, there is a nobler cause for its existence...to cry.

Nothing can substitute for it. Without it, we might just blow up. Maybe it's like our safety valve...venting out the steam.

And I thank my creator for giving me those two shiny sparkling things :)

Ok! This is weird!

As I sat idly staring blankly at my computer screen, pondering what to do. I had this pencil sketch of Jesus holding a child pinned up next to the screen. And there, out of the blue, a cute little dragonfly appears and settles on Jesus
By the time I realized to take a pic, the cute little thing flew away. But here it is, the sketch :)

But I still don't understand the link between a dragonfly and God. Or is it me just making up a link so as to believe? I am  a man of little faith.

Under Construction

Today if I look into my life and compare to yesteryears, I would say thanks to few others.  Today, I feel I can take risks and remain hopeful. Although they are feelings, I was even hesitant to feel this way. I'm taking baby steps for changing myself, even though there is this strong calling not to change and accept defeat. But I won't give up and is happy to be under construction :)

Dragonflies and Moses

Had this weird dream. Thought of writing it.

Moses is in a desert and is very thirsty. No water and scorching sun above. What will he do?
Well then, a dragonfly  sips water quietly near a pond or something. It sips and guess what it does next?
It passes this water (don't know how..maybe spits) to the broad wings of another dragonfly. And this one passes to another one and so on...until it reaches Moses. Moses just had to open his mouth and his thirst is gone.
 I see a pharaoh really distressed about something. 

Don't know why I dreamt this. Is God trying to say something or is my mind projecting a distorted version of what happened according to the Bible?

May I just need to trust Him. He will make a way :)
