Empty nest

-
The scorching, tearing pain 
that I went through was not in vain
The moment I saw your curly eyelashes and soft face
That  was the beginning of my life's new phase

Your first steps and babbles
I still remember our little squabbles
you were a quiet but happy child
happy with a sweet, happy on a slide

falling from the cycle and running in the parks
waiting for mamma to hug you for those superb marks
when did it all disappear and you grew up to be a beauty
Suddenly i was reminded of all my mom duty

Look how the days just passed by
you out grew my lap and the lullaby
you are all ready to fly away soon
may you achieve the sun and the moon

The sound  of your peals of laughter
our long nights and your incessant chatter
I will miss you each time I pass by your room
you are so precious you are no less than an heirloom

Go touch the horizon and conquer the sky 
In case you ever want rest and to come by
You will find me right here baby , waiting by the door
your mamma with heart full of happiness and talks galore

It  feels as if my heart will explode into shards
but the thought of you winning all those  stars
makes me stop my tears and just smile warmly
daughter, you make us all so  proud, the entire family

This empty nest will always wait for you
This house and my heart will always miss you
Fly away my daughter,  to fame, to success and glory
your mother will forever be here, waiting for you with a song and a soiree

I will forever love you to the moon and back....

Nature - My childhood friend

-
This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I looked straight at my fri

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
