The Pensive

My daughter utters so many wise words at the age of 7-8 , it almost feels like she is some 18+ and in all - sage avatar is preaching me. From today I am trying to be active on blog and would try capturing some of the random wisdom nuggets and wise-cracks, my daughter has up her sleeve :-) ------------------------------------Read on--------------------------- My wisdom tooth is a unique pain giving companion from more than a decade 🤕. A nerve exactly is passing in between the tooth  and to operate it's tough, if it's bone we can still surgically extract...if nerve little tough - at times u may lose sensation of the jaw, but mostly u won't - I was told .. I thought, feeling the pain is better than feeling nothing, so nearly from 12 years I suffer on and off immense pain episodes, sometimes I get fever and so on .... Today some food got stuck in that tooth. I was cleaning and then pressing my jaw in pain, holding it...and so on, seeing my trials ,  my daughter : "what...

I am happy to say on my blog that I am in the process of getting published, a collection of my poems. While aimlessly scrolling through my final manuscript on a dull rainy gloomy Sunday (as I didn't have much zeal to sit or look at it due to some events in my life),  I remembered this movie recommendation from my intermediate friend Poornima - who now is a Gastro surgeon in Hyderabad!

And that is the magic of the city  There is no time to laugh loud, cry ,or even show pity! You see something or someone where you want to stop by The turn on the road doesn't allow that, and the numerous fly overs would still not give you wings to fly! :-) City of your dreams, your love, your childhood ambition! Who knew, the same city would make you long for a magic potion! A potion which could make you go back in time and live in slow motion Alas! We are only muggles and we have more problems than solutions! The city gave you wads of money, a luxury to live, a fire and a passion to strive for more But the cost at which it comes - it almost squeezes your soul till you may not have much to pour! The skyline is often invisible and the sun hides behind the tall towers and sky scrappers! The rain is enjoyed more through a glass pane, there is no space to stand, watch, get drenched, or to float those boats made of papers! The love, that ephemeral love - the city has to offer!
