This past December (2017), I decided to take a crazy travel-filled vacation. My friends, Amy and Dalan, invited me to come visit the extended Selvig family in Grand Rapids, MI and I didn’t need a second invite. Having experienced a traditional ‘white’ (yes, it snowed and no, not being racist) Christmas with them last year (2016) made me look forward…
Checking in was a breeze. However, on the way to my room I walked through the casino – yes, you read it right – and saw the slot machines, the pit, various tables, and the dancers at the Heart Bar (more on all this later). I reach my room and was taken back by two things. The view from the…
I fly in and the lights hit me. Well, they hit me when I was still in the craft. It reminded me of the Indian festival of lights called ‘Diwali’. I generally look out of the windows of the plane as I like to watch things fly by when we are about to land. How tiny things keep getting magnified….
So, it seems like that life has its own ways of chalking things out for you. Just when I thought my mine was going down the same old beaten path along came the opportunity to travel for work. And travel where? Vegas! Haha! Ya, I know all of you would be like “Who works in Vegas?” Seems like a few…
Love to her was the brilliance that his existence made her life fulfilling, love to him was the idea that her existence kept him from being lonely… Love for her was sacrificing everything for anything that he wanted, love for him was not giving up on what was convenient for him… Love for her was constantly looking out for his…
The one thing that makes me feel like I am in a time machine is being on a train. I love the way train journeys make me feel. They give me a rush. A concoction of so many emotions that if I want to explain it, I would have to probably tell you everything that I experience on a train….
Life comes full circle. Oh! So many times. We just don’t either notice them or are too busy/have moved ahead to care for them. To actually, wait and relish these moments, re-live them. Sitting in this room, this 24th day of January, 2013, I pause to reflect on those July days in the very same classroom on this very desk….
As a child who loved to run around, But, afraid to sit by himself on the merry-go-round, You inspired him to maintain his ground, and With the bat and ball a passion he found. Twirls, poses and appeals abound, Whether awake, eating, in his dreams or any place he could bound (to), Such was your grip on…
Love, the word itself has a unique and mysterious ring to it. Some swear by its purity, some by its prowess, some of its magnanimity, some by its eccentricity and some of the wreckages and wars it causes both in the minds and in the souls of people who have experienced it. Right since when I was a kid, I…
You’ll never ever realize maybe, That I will love you forever, baby; Don’t know how I can show you my feelings, Open the door of your heart and you’ll find me kneeling; Your lovely laughter reminds me of the wind chimes, And bring back memories of the lovely times; Spent together without a care, Jokes and anecdotes that we…
