Life's Realisation

I simply love clicking at every moment; coz each moment is special in its own way. As a result I snap away so that I can capture the moments and preserve them. Those days I was rather reluctant to snap at every turn coz it was rather a costly affair and time consuming process when it came to printing the snaps out. So I had to be selective and hope that I got a good pick. Later on came the digital camera which allowed me to click at every turn and delete snaps if they didn’t meet my fancy. The down side of the digital camera was the fact that I had to always remember to charge the camera batteries in advance as the camera used to virtually drink up all the battery energy before I could barely begin my venture. Not to mention I used to have to make it a point to take the camera around. After that came my 3.2pix camera phone – SE K800i. To me it’s all that I want and more. The picture quality and snaps are awesome and I can video off it as well which is an added bonus. After I got my SE...

We LAUGH !! We LOVE !! We CRY !! Yes, Life is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride with its UPs and DOWNs. A strange concoction but its REALITY Life goes on without any PAUSE, REWIND, or FAST-FORWARD buttons. At some point in life we have to face the inevitable however hard it may tug at our heartstrings. The more we LOVE the harder it is to let go. As a babe I was jolted with loss; but, an angel came along and loved us as his own. With a heart of gold, he was ever ready to help even a perfect stranger. He was a precious jewel to all who got to know him – He loved with all his heart, never kept grudges, devoted his life to care for others and made the most of life while it was around. I guess the heavens above all of a sudden realized that they were missing an angel and snatched him from us without while he lay sleeping. I look around and all that’s left is a picture. Everyday reality stares us in the face; but, still for all it feels like a DREAM. Nevertheless, I am really thankful f...

There was hustle and bustle in the air while the days kept growing nearer and nearer, but she still couldn’t convince myself that it was all happening before her own eyes. “You are going to miss me when I’m gone” he said, but she replied in her normal carefree spirit “You will be back on swift wings” The penny simply refused to sink in even while she was getting ready and posing for all the pre-wedding snaps; to her it felt like she was only part of the wedding retinue and nothing more. She simply couldn’t come to terms with reality, that her one and only sibling was getting married and moving out. She took her position to walk up the isle. All of a sudden she noticed some of her relations walk into church. “Wonder how they know the couple?” she thought to herself. It only took a flicker of a moment for reality to strike her. She couldn’t stop to reason with her thoughts as the initial hymn was already being played and she had to hold her composure. Every step up the isle only confirme...

Sometime a hundred things may be on your mind. You think to yourself tomorrow’s a new day. You go to sleep hoping that your mind will clear in the morning. BUZZ !!!! BUZZ!!!!!!! BUZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! The alarm goes, you fumble in your sleep to reach for the alarm and put it off and then roll around lazily in bed. Little by little you start to really awake. As soon as you are wide awake all the mind baggage hits you with a thud. “Why didn’t I sort all this out yesterday” you think. But, it’s too late. Morning has already dawned….. You don’t have the time to deal with all of this. You have to get ready for life’s daily rat race WORKkkkkkkkk. You wrestle with your mind, to keep these nagging thoughts at bay. You, step into work. “Good Morning” everyone greets you as you pass by. You are forced to reply because you don’t want to publicize how you really feel or what’s on your mind; because you have been thought never to mix your personal life with your work life. Besides you have a very busy da...

“My eye was hurting all day and I was feeling totally out of sorts.” he said yesterday while I sat in the garden sipping my tea after work. “May be your lenses are dirty.” I said “Here, check and see, but I remember cleaning it today” He said When I looked at the spectacles I had to stifle a giggle coz I found it sooo funny to notice that one of the lenses in the pair of spectacles had fallen out somewhere and had gone unnoticed all day. Only when I pointed it out to him that he realized the missing lens. I immediately armed myself with a torch and searched high and low in every nook and corner for the missing lens. Thankfully, before too long it was found unbroken on the lunch table.

Today, I got a bit later than usual and to add to it there was a slight traffic jam probably because of the rain. So, there I was creeping in every free spot that I could possibly find to get ahead of the next vehicle and get to work on time. At one point the lane closest to the pavement was free so I decided to use it so that I could over take a real slowcoach that was driving fit for a funeral. I accelerated and quickly overtook the vehicle. Alas! But in the process I accidentally gave a poor old soul a mud bath. I sure as hell felt and still feel reallyyyyy bad coz I know what it feels like to get drenched by careless motorists. I wish I could have taken it all back, but, I can’t. I wish I could have stopped and said sorry, but then again it would have only infuriated the guy totally. So I just continued on my way and vowed to be was extra careful and not to splash anyone again.

Last Friday some of my friends and myself went to visit buddy in Maharagama. I should admit that I am not familiar with the roads in Maharagama, so looking for the turn off to our friend’s place was quite a tedious affair. Nevertheless, after we went in circles we successfully reached our destination. On our way back I waited patiently to turn on to the main road from the Elhena Road. As soon as I got way I turned on to what I assumed was the road. To our horror there was a thud (loud noise) and the car bumped up and down, before I managed to bring the car to a halt. I assumed that I had hit a rather biggggg pothole; coz what else can you expect in the middle of a road. But, to our surprise we figured out that it was barrel drain. The barrel drain was covered with concrete slabs in the middle of the road but, one was dislodged and for my bad luck the car had hit the one dislodged. I don’t see why such issues are not reported and attended to by relevant authorities; because if it were ...

No doubt nowadays mobiles phones have become a cant-live-without accessory to many of us. I myself make sure to keep my phone somewhere in the vicinity wherever I am so that I wont miss any calls or SMS. Thinking back I find it quite amusing that once upon a time I didn’t own a mobile and my life was just perfect with out it. But then again, now after getting so used to a mobile, I would find myself totally lost without one. A few weeks ago someone robbed one of my buddies N series mobile in the bus. I can imagine how upset she was coz I treat my phone like gold and carry it around in a phone pouch which has a neck chain. Yesterday, while driving back home with a friend I told my friend hang on to it while I drove. My phone was the last thing on our minds as she rushed to catch the bus. A little while later handsfree beeped. “Now how in heaven did my hands free get disconnected” I thought to myself and instantly looked around for my handbag, as I assumed my phone was there. I was at a ...

“When you get married be very careful as to who raises your face veil. Make sure that, that person is not a widow or a divorcee or a childless lady” he rambled off to me a few days ago. “What’s the big deal?” I said. “It is very bad for the bride coz most of the time, she ends up with some ill fate. Like her marriage will go on the rocks or she won’t be able to bare children or something bad like that” He said. “All rubbish, I don’t believe in all that jazz, whatever that’s meant to be will happen. We can’t change our fate and besides it’s not right to treat people like the plague just coz they are a widow, childless or a divorcee” I said. “Your very head strong” He said. “Que Sera Sera.... whatever will be will be” I remember saying and wrapping up the conversation. ( Que Sera Sera … are the words off an old vintage song ) Are you a superstitious person??? I don’t know about you all but I sure don’t believe in such superstitions even though many of my relatives are quite superstitio...
