Not That Simple as Words

Saturday and Sunday soaked Delhi with heavy shower. It did bring much relief from the heat but trouble doesn’t like to leave the people of this city. With the rains, some of the roads were filled with water. For a child to see water all around is no doubt fun...making paper boats from pages torn from old note books and see them move down. But for the daily commuters’, life came to a standstill in many areas...traffic jam building up and waiting time to reach the destination taking hours...all for the water-logging.

There is every reason for the people to ask the authorities for explanation. Then, who cares for the common man now???...the system keeps mum and life moves on with all the trouble mesh.

The CWG (Common Wealth Games) is just round the corner with so much said and heard about (the coming CW Games) it. No doubt after all the revelations, trickling out one by one, surely and truly it’s the COMMON Man’s WEALTH that’s being squandered away in the name of the Games. No time to think –- that’s for every common man -- as life has to move on.

But where does the Price Rise in this country take us. Price Rise has become the POCKET MAAR (robbing one’s pocket) of the AAM AADMI (Common man)...in clear words this can be related to stealing the purse of the people of India who toil hard to survive. The salaried households have cut down on many items from their regular monthly budgets to meet the everyday needs of the family.

The country is running through a difficult time...unrest on our borders and disturbances within the country in many states...reasons are countless.

Life is so unsafe in the capital city Delhi where happenings like murder, rape, suicide, dacoity, burglary, accidents have become regular happenings, and, all leading to loss of life. When everything other than a precious life is getting expensive, Life appears to be getting cheaper and cheaper...which direction are we moving towards, remains unjustified. When said in words all this looks so simple but Reality is tough to bear.

At this juncture we stand on such a threshold where it is necessary to find ways to make life run easily and this has to be concerted effort for one and all.

But,
Life is Beautiful. Isn’t it?

When Break Comes Calling...

In a kids book it reads “A for Apple, B for Ball”...

No, no, no, no, today for me B reads “B for Break”...for now and for some more days to come.

I’ve fallen in love with this word Break.

Why?

It’s going to bring a lot of difference in my life as long as I’m going to stay with it.

Living with my Break...already I can see Relaxation inviting me.

Once I meet Relaxation I know I will have Peace knocking at my door.

Peace, because there’ll be so much Leisure time for me.

And in company of Leisure I’ll have my own Freedom and, Choice will be my own.

With Freedom and Choice I’ll be my own Sovereign.

All this is with me as I’m enjoying a BREAK...yes for some days the Computer and the Internet will leave my company.

In all this I’ll be away from my very own Blogging World...will very much miss my friends who read and give their views. And I’ll miss reading blogs of my other blogger friends.

It is only for a short period...this is a much awaited time I’d been looking forward to...at last it has happened.

The first week of the July will see me again getting busy and my life falling into place with the busy schedule I live in.
