Eve of 24th March 2007

A reason to survive…….

A zest to start afresh in life
When the sun sets down and the birds set off to fly
I search for a reason why I need to survive.

Those eyes that call me back
That smile that melts me down
Tells me every time
That I need to settle down.

Am all yours, my child
Beside you through thick and thin
To guide you all the way
Please give me some time to be strong within.

I am tired by running
Endlessly for miles
To hold on to few things
Which I thought was mine....

Perhaps I ran too fast
Not checking my pace
And when I look back today
I find all new face.

How long did I run?
From the word “go”
Where did I leave them behind?
I wish I could know.

Life comes in all shapes
This is a strange place
While people have died for want of freedom
I’m lost in this huge space.

Give me some time, my child
I need to stand firm in this space
I need to look back at the mirror
And see if I can recognize this face.

Back on the field.

19th March 2007 - Joined work after a break of exactly eleven and half months.... Was relieved to be able to get back again without any hassle. My daughter is 4 months old now. I used to try and read what goes on inside that small head....left it now, without much success. Hope she understands that I need this life and accepts it readily. If not, I need to redo it all over again.

My job gives me a lot of satisfaction, a kick to live life on my own terms. An unparalleled exposure and experience which I have been missing all this time. Am thankfull to God that I did not face the blues of a 10 hr office work after such a long break...I was anticipating though. YESSSSS, am back.
