Dark times

The dark times are here again.. ...The nights of turmoil and uncertainties. The red moon is just an embellishment to the burning city sky-line. The fires are spreading and the roads are reverberating with the sounds of fire-engines , hurrying helter skelter towards a direction unknown. These are dark times - there should have been the sound of Dhaak filling the air and not the jarring fire-engine bells. There should have been the fireworks lighting the sky and not the gunshots spraying the walls with blood. The wait begins - will he come home or will I never see him again...The past revisited after decades. The only difference is that the mobiles beep to bring in the tidings and the places of  hiding.... Why can't we leave our youngsters alone ? To enjoy their lives?

new shoes!

Time travel is strange - sometimes you just want to fast forward the time, especially if the its time like this - I know two months from now it will all seem different ....Bad times are like new shoes -they pinch till they stretch and accommodate your feet ! Yet you want the new shoes...despite the discomfort and the pain. And then you also get used to the pain! Or maybe the shoe fits to your feet ! Life's like that- in many ways ! At times we let the shoes walk all over........our lives! Every phase of life is like that ...with a pinch and punch till everything falls into place  ! But can I heave a sigh of relief ever?
