THE PETRICHOR OF RAIN AND MY CHILDHOOD.


Pitter Patter rain !!! Keep pouring from the cluster of clouds, with the needling cold drops piercing through my memory lane, prompting my childhood time & again, sailing paper boats through the water logged lanes, and racing on to the lush green fields, and a splashing rain bath with my friends.
 
Battering rain on the window pane !!!! And a journey through my memory lane, with the whooshing wind and that doused balcony , the rich green trees and the rain soaked bird’s agony, the placid lake with the collage of rain drops, the silent sky and the thunder knock….and a flora of joy, as he returns after a hard day’s work….
 
Sprinkling rain!!!! Searching through my memory lane, a flashback of our beloved mother, caressing my young little brother, with the banging bolts and bluish streak of lightening, a closely knitted family bonded with her smiling……..
 
Sparkling rain!!!! Piercing through my memory lane, evoking the moments and our lost school friends, pieces of affections, bits of impressions, when we played and together we smiled, and the last day at school, like a child we cried….
 
Thrumming rain!!!!  Discerning through my memory lane, so relevant to our lives, the love lost and the love gained when it rained. The drops of shower designs an illusive flower, that some day the lost paper boat will float back again, and a comeback of my childhood amidst sweet rain….
 
Pelting rain!!!! Keep spouting forever, with new generation and new era, where we find our first love, our first fear, our first joy, our first tear, the faces who forgot, the faces whom we forget, all sail back once again with that petrichor of nostalgic rain.

How I wonder what you are ?

The blinking stars neighbouring the moon are our greatest friends condoling the concealed sorrows of our day to day life. If you are suffering from depression or loneliness, reach your rooftop in a full moon night or lie down in a lonely sea beach engulfed with the bright rays of moon and watch towards the twinkling stars far away. Close your eyes for a while and think about the person you are missing in your life and then open your eyes and stare at the stars miles away. The flickering stars, as if whispering to your ears about the whereabouts of your love and speaking to your heart that all is well. Just the way, the moon alone keeps shining everynight besieged by the glimmering stars signifying the shimmering hopes needed for our survival in this world, we need to smile in our small journey of life creating a sky with millions of stars glinting optimism inspite of the flowing sorrows. You need a big heart to be a well wisher for a person who walked away from you. But the...

A day as a green grocer in a gloomy Sikkim Village. Organic farming and Terrace cultivation in Sikkim.

It was 7 am in a Sunday morning as I reached a small gloomy village of East Sikkim bedraggled with the monsoon rain. The Lepcha village girl having a small vegetable shop in the lonely curve of a mountain was waiting for me with the morning breakfast and tea. There was a light drizzle going on since morning and after breakfast, we trekked through the wet and slippery muddy track towards the National Highway on the ridge where she has a small vegetable shop made with bamboo pillars and thatched cover to protect her from rain. Just behind the shop, there was a steep slope at an elevation of 7000 ft. above the sea level and we could see through the thin layer of dangling mist, a thread like twisted river flowing through the dark green valleys.  The simple village life of Sikkim has always  created inquisitiveness in my heart. While marching through the isolated undulating ways with hardly any signs of population, I have seen small shops of vegetables on the road sides with th...

Paranormal activities. Do you believe in Ghosts ? If yes then read this article. otherwise ignore.

Image
From my Paranormal Activity Diary based on my experiences. They exist between you and me. They subsist infront of our eyes, in the same locality or place perhaps where we stay. We feel their presence. But we human beings do not have the capacity to identify them because our eyes can only support two dimensional vision. That's why we sometimes find the cats, dogs or animals making odd and untimely chaos in late nights. Just because the animals, particularly the dogs have seven dimensional vision supported by their eyes. And those about whom I am discussing are also having seven dimensional vision. The best way to identify them is by keeping a cat or a dog as a pet in your home. Remember, these pets can easily detect their presence and that's why when everyone sleep, they make noises because they can see and feel their existence. Yes, you are correct. I am talking about the supernaturals. I have never ever underestimated the facts about their perseverence....
