Feels gud !!!

Its been a long time since I felt nice …… felt happy …. Was wondering wat the reasons cud be ….

• Was it the beautiful snow-capped mountains – the sight to which I wake up every morning … as I stare out of my room window imagining myself on top of it someday …
• Or my improving culinary skills …… I’m sort of managing to satisfy both my taste buds and my hunger pangs …. Gud work!!!
• The surge of independence which allows me to keep my room dirty …. Without my amma breathing over my neck to keep everything in place …
• The news that my close friend is going to be mom soon – tat too with twins ….. am so happy for her …. But sad I’ll miss seeing the kids :(
• Another news that another close friend will be moving across geographies …. Pursuing studies …. Tat means will be closer to me :) ….. having a doc friend around shd hopefully help … maybe I can cut down on the huge sums of insurance I need to pay otherwise …. The optimistic me again …
• The improving weather…..the melting snow ….
• My access to sudoku puzzles yet again ….. had been quite some time since I had looked into them….. till I started getting the local newspaper here …. (I know I cud get it on the net … but I like scribbling on paper)
• The green grass, the blue sky, the traffic light, the bus stand, the paper ad, the music playing on my comp ….

Everything seems to be good …. Dunno how long this feeling will last …. Lemme just soak it in and enjoy till it does ….

Well, amma used to be rite wen she thought I was a waste creature who used to disinterested with everything in life … (its another thing that moms are always rite)…
And anjali tried getting me to see the beautiful side of life while I acted blind ….. I cudnt understand then wat u were trying to show me Anj …..
I’m too egoistic to admit I was wrong …. I was not completely wrong …. But u 2 deftly had a point … thanks for bringing it out for me …… life does seem good after all … atleast for now :)

The amateur-ish me

Had come across a lot of haiku while browsing ..... seemed lill far-fetched, nevertheless thought I'd try ....

i must confess - it was quite some exercise for my brains ....... but i liked it too ....
hope i continue with this for sometime atleast ....... creativity is what keeps u goin ....

So here goes the amateur me at haiku ....
maybe not perfect ..... but i atleast tried to keep the 5-7-5 going right for starters :)

The first one was for the rains - cause I simply love rains. And it felt heavenly when it rained a few days back here ......but it soon turned to snow......and alas - wasnt as gud anymore ....

Black Clouds fill the sky
Rain drops kiss the grass beneath
Wet mud smells so good

Next for the mom and her assuring love that any kid can almost instantly identify with .........

Baby cries and yelps
Mother caresses and hugs
Baby back to sleep

Next...... for the days when I had to walk back in the snow, and was amazed at the shoe prints I made on the snow covered ground..... no reason to be amazed maybe- but i was ...... i may figure out why some other day .... for now - this haiku ....

Walking on the road
Crushing snow below my feet
Leaving my footprints

good enuf for now...... wat next??? will see ....
