Turning the Corner

-
Turning the corner I glanced back
Nothing was visible, I drew a blank
Slowly at the end of the road
I saw the paddy field with toad
Flickering lanterns and resounding hymns
Fall from the cycle , flailing signs
Fishing out the cheapest clothes
Like flame flocking moths
Only no flame to engulf the shame
The frantic attempts to save the name
One by one I saw pillars falling off
And then I saw the whole dorm crashing off
Staring on the face
With no hiding place
The milestones of life ,
The endless strife
Turning the  corner I again  looked back
All the sights, all of them had made a serpentine line; pitch black

In search of the prefect 'Yeast'..... post no. 2

Apart from the blogathon that I have jumped into there is another very important issue (!) which has been circling inside my head for long and hold your breath, it is about getting hold of a good yeast (!!) So that I can venture into bread baking..which I had been longing to do  for so long.   This search for a good yeast has been going on for so long that I have tried at least 4 to 5 types of yeast till now, I brought a pack from kerala store in Delhi,  then when I went to Kerala I brought two packs from a bakery thinking that the kind of stuff they have at their shop, definitely they must be selling  good yeast and was excited about trying it out.. then I brought packs from different bakeries in  Delhi.. to cut a long story short... none.. yes... NONE of the yeast ever worked.  During this Diwali I wanted to bake cinnamon rolls  and started imagining the joy of my children when they will be eating the perfect, melt in mouth cinnamon rolls made by their great Mom … but a

just like that  you flew my nest your little nick knacks sit heavy on my chest  your side of the book shelf  looks all tidy and empty tugging hard at  my heart strings  all those outfits you left behind sits pretty like a set of  colourful feathers bringing tears to my dry eyes the almirah is all in order ! but i miss all the chaos the peals of laughter and chit chat the noise that came from your room all is silent now only your sister sits there missing you every minute  once in a while she glances at me with eyes full of sorrow her heart brimming  with stories and talks to share with you missing you every nook and every corner you took a part of us and our hearts with  you we wait excitedly for your calls I long to touch you through the thin phone wall I long to feed you with my hands to your hearts content to your souls solace to hold you close and sleep with you feeling your head on my shoulder once again cradling you like the baby you were daughter , I miss your smiles your argume
