wish fulfillment

Wish Fulfillment
Everyday we receive images like this, sms -es, e-mails all promising wish fulfillment of sorts , all promising you of miracles within a specified period if you fulfill the conditions.

Each time I receive something like this I promise myself I won't succumb and then I fall into the rut all over again. I close my eyes and mutter a silent prayer that Chibu passes his exams (sigh), that Baba remains healthy(touch wood), that the day goes off without a hitch at work ( hmmm) .....and so many ! 

I remember Buladidi telling me that if you wish on the moon on a full moon night it comes true...and I looked at the moon and out came the wishes....maybe even the  moon went moony  over them and none came true!!!

Buladidi reprimanded , "I said 1!" and  I said "1? Ek se mera kya hoga?"

Well , I know I will again forward 12 sms -es tomorrow and  wish on the red mail van and look out for a black car ( black ambassadors are prehistoric now) to blow the wish upon . I know I will be silly , illogical and childish. But 
at times these silly , mindless moments bring back the lost hope and fills your heart with sudden  expectations on days when nothing seems to be going right. At times these acts bring that dash of  silliness in our logical staid world !  




-Who wants to use the head all the time? 

-Certainly not  I !!!!!

A holiday with self :)

A long overdue blog about the path that I was seeking , or did the path seek me out ? Over the years the sheen of belief was wearing off and I was beginning to question the master about the magic - about faith becoming commercial, about what Bhaskar stated, "This is all about money".  Packing my bags off and going solo isn't very uncommon in my life, but this time I was not on work per se. Checking-in into the Ashram, was on my bucket-list for ever-since, and it was an amazing experience. Despite the crowd, the ambiance just reverberated with a mix of reverence, energy , faith, hope, prayer - and questions too ! Like I mentioned before meditation was not about spiritual pyrotechnics, but a metaphor connected to life. Like the corner I chose had a vantage view of the stage and despite a stench that started emanating from the corner, I just could not leave that place, for the view that corner offered got me stuck there. Life is like that, we are often stuck in the rut , ...

Morning bells are ringing ......

Heidi lived in Alps with her Alms uncle - I read this story in a book that was called The Big Big Story Book and it had a compilation of amazing stories that were my first foray into the world of English story books. Recently on a long flight I watched the movie much to delight of the young steward who was our attendant that night. My first glimpse of the Alps was from our flight ...the dawn breaking to spread the orange hues over the snowy terrain...looked mesmerizing even to someone who is not too fond of the mountains. Switzerland was beautiful, with its manicured terrain and flowers like pretty maids all in a row, picture perfect setting and breathtaking, like a touch me not porcelain beauty. Coming from my "elo melo" city I wondered how people managed to keep a country so organized , I have trouble keeping my room in ship shape...... No, I would not like to live there ......it's too distant and too cold ,but what I will carry in my heart is  the awesome time .......

Chariots and moon :)

I was wondering  if little children pull the  rath still.... But I noticed my Facebook  timeline having quite a few pictures of smiling faces with their bedecked little chariots, much to my delight. In this digital chaos , somewhere these simple customs are lost , like a friend lamented this morning. Our parents bought us this crude do-tala rath and we decked it up with ghuri r kagoj and made The Trio sit in the prime position as we pulled the contraption from one room to the other offering the papad, math mishti and batasha ......The contraption rested for a week when the ritual was repeated on the ulto-rath day. And then there was also the Rath-er Mela , with it's stalls full of trinkets and baubles and bhepu banshi. Strangely, we also had a film magazine which was called "Ulto -Rath" and which was out of bounds for us as kids, thus building up on the curiosity quotient. The magazine honestly, wasn't much really, a few stories, gossips and black and white...
