Things were far more than real. She never ever imagined anything of such kind could happen in her life. What she was seeing is par imagination. Mika was in Pluto which once was called a Planet. And she never imagined in her wildest dreams of being able to even see Pluto, her favorite planet since childhood. Only one companion she had and that was a funny X-generation robot Vohai with the artificial intelligence to interact like a human.
Vohai for Voice optimized human-like artificial intelligence.
Vohai – This dwarf is kool don’t you think!
Mika – Dwarf!! mind you, Pluto is my fav planet ever.
Vohai – Oh! O! sorry babe. But they have excluded Pluto from the Planet group. Don’t you know?
Mika – I do know. But I cannot change my childhood beliefs.
Vohai – If your belief were that strong, then why didn’t it change the future?
Mika – who will talk to you!
Vohai – Me.. who else!! LOL
Mika – OMG.. where have you brought me with such a stupid companion. I cannot even enjoy the view here.
A sparkling thing falls into the plutonic surface a few miles away. Mika reaches to see what it was and Vohai follows..
Mika finds brilliant sparks of light and could not find from where it was coming. As she reached close the sparkle went down slowly to reveal the thing. It was a little cupid with his sparkling arrow.
Mika – Haa! what day is it!! I see surprises one after other! Hi Cupid! How are you? And How come you are here? (with a suspicious look)
Cupid – Lady! I was fulfilling my orders to aim the cupid arrow on you. And unfortunately I being too small was carried here along with the arrow leaving my bow up there.
Vohai shows abnormal signs of malfunction hearing all this.
BANG.. bow falls over Cupid’s head.
Cupid – oh my God! Thank you! But don’t you have intentions saving me by pulling me back up there! He started crying.
Mika – Don’t cry Cupid.
Cupid – May be he thinks that he’ll pick me up after I finish the task assigned. Let me pull the arrow and aim at you. He pulls the arrow.
Mika – Stop.. Whom do you think would become my partner after you finished targeting the arrow on me. Only this Vohai and I’m here. Oh God! Are you thinking of binding a robot to myself. This is against the laws of nature. I’ll not allow it. Please stop.
Vohai – Oh! I am in love with this girl already. Blinks and goes off again seeing Cupid.
Cupid – That I cannot say lady. I’ve to fulfill my orders. He release the arrow upon Mika.
And quicker than the ray of light he vanishes from wherever he came from. Mika stood speechless. Vohai opened his optical lens and sees no Cupid and feels normal as before.
Vohai – Mika babe! wake up. We need to leave. Signals have come for us to close down the venture and depart asap.
Mika – No I can’t my love is here. I cannot leave my love here and reach home.
Vohai – What? Are you nuts? There is no one here. Let us quicken up. I am setting myself to launch from here.
Mika – no my love… she faints
Vohai picks her up. They reach the blue planet Earth. Mika was lost in herself. She was lovestruck and her love was not near. Mika left her love of life in Pluto there. When can she see him again. She cried and cried and cried. Night came and she drifted into sleep without her knowing it. Suddenly someone hisses “I Love You My Lady”. She wakes up and sees no one near except the glass window by her side. A twinkle. And she sees her love there among the million stars. She sees her love “Pluto”.
She was not that pretty, yet she has something which puts her in first place wherever she goes. But she was not the kind to interact invariably with all those she meets. Highly selective in relationships is her way of life. And she found it the best way to be. Only one person she finds intriguing to speak to is Madhav. The very name makes her eyes shine with warmth and love. And she never knew whether the love she has any meaning to him or does he even think of her as a friendly person. He had never spoke with her more than few words at a time. Finding the right words to express things is a tough job for her and it has always been. Malya felt herself at the nook of her emotions not knowing how to make things possible, missing the current situation might cause her serious loses far more than imagination. She cannot bear the wounds of failing without even expressing her love which is better than knowing the result and then bear the happiness or pain or both. Making her mind up she reaches for the phone. Without much thoughts to it she dialed the 10 digit mobile number without a mistake, even though she seldom called him over phone. The ring goes for the third time and she hangs up. With the gush of a million thoughts both positive and negative she could hardly manage to do the usual things she does and how do you expect her to do the important tasks like calling her first love.
Then again she tries to call but in vain. She drops the idea of calling and chooses to write a note on a card. She reaches to the local gift shop and was browsing through all those lovely collection of beautiful cards but none seemed unique to express herself. Then she thinks a good book could do the job and so she enters the Book Park. Having a passion for fantasy fictions she goes through the rack. She finds a book by the name of ‘Miraculous Love’. The title has the nice tone to match her feelings for him. She picks the book and writes a note “For 20 years I had written a million paras. And now I am out of alphabets to say my love to you – Malya” and she asks to gift wrap it. She collects the box and reaches for the nearest flower shop and buys a red rose. Then she takes a autorickshaw to Madhav’s house. She waits after ringing the door bells. She knew that he stays alone in a rented house there. Madhav opens the door and his cool dazzling look puts a magical dust over. She finds herself dumbstruck. Oh my God!
Madhav shakes her back to life. And there they are in the drawing room of his small apartment. She knows nothing but to look embarrassed. She forgot the prupose she came. She lost the strength to even look at him. She picks the bag and stands up to leave. Madhav convinces her to sit, the usual formalities to a new guest. He goes inside to bring some ice tea. They both had the nice made ice tea and a little chat which contained about a total of twenty words both. She had completely lost ability to disclose things by then. She concluded saying that she came by this side to meet a friend and was lost finding the home and that she saw the bike standing outside which she identified as his and so she entered to see him. Finishing the conversation she stood up and started to leave. Coming out of the door she turned back and had a final glance at her beloved with pain. Then he locked the door and moved in. She stood still for a moment and then decided to keep the gift at his doorstep so that he atleast knows her love for him. She leaves the gift with the rose on top of it. Without making a scene she left the premise.
Reaching home her heart was filled with immense pain and a little satisfaction of being able to leave a note of love. She lays on her bed and starts thinking of the happenings from morning till now. A little smile crossed her lips thinking of the few pulses she spent with him even though nothing much was spoken. Rolling she finds her bag over the table. Inside the transparent bag she could see a red rose. What! I kept the rose there itself then how come another rose is here. It was exactly the one she picked for her love. Then a past vision passed her mind, she recalled that the rose she kept at his home was a pink one. She reaches to pick the bag and she finds a little book ‘Love – a bizzare state of mind’ and the first page read “To my Love for two years, from a stupid who started loving you from the first moment – I LOVE YOU – Madhav”. Reading the final word she was not in this world. She ran as fast as she could to reach her love of life with her little heart pounding in greatest speed ever and stopped in midway to see the same person, to meet whom she would have waited a life time. Their hearts slipped a beat together and their life began the moment their eyes finally had a meeting for more than a minute.
I got to say about the various birds on the way. In my place of residence I can find only ravens . I saw many parrots, kingfishers, rettai vaal kuruvis, pigeons, and many small birds whose names I do not know . And I could see the livestocks, squirrels etc. In one particular temple, they have maintained an awesome garden which had almost all kinds of flowers – A glorious sight to enjoy.

This week’s TED talk is about talking bacteria and here it is for you to watch. I think it would be easy for sci-grads to understand the details, but everyone are welcome to watch – it is not that hard an English . It is really informative and has opened a new era of possible inventions in the field of antibiotics.
This is a re-post to see how the new introduction of TED talks in wordpress platform works. I had hoped this to happen and yes now it is here for us – an easy way to embedd ted talks. Here is a TED talk on the creative genius within you which is very inspiring to learn. Taking it the simpler way and not complicating the views. An awesome talk by Elizabeth gilbert.
A long lazy night with music as company
Skipping the list of songs one after another
Finding nothing impressive as it used to be
Sleepless soul sees nothing beautiful as sleep
Laying sleepless with dreams of distant lands
Visions never seen before unfolds in front
Of the closed eyes and like magic you enter
Into the world of dreamers and dreams far
The chirps of evening birds, the whoosh
Of a distant falls, rabbits running home
Deers hopping swiftly, peacocks spreading
Squirrels eating fruits, sky pouring drizzles.
Walking down the less trodden mud lane
The night covers the forest and whooshing
Of the falls the only sound to be heard
The glorious moon on top of the hill
There seen was a yacht with the oars
Starting to sail along the flow of the water
Huge trees enveloping the banks of river
A tiny bridge bridging both the shores
Tie the boat on one shore, passed along
The little bridge and there you see a gate
Made of gold and silver glittering in the light
Of moon, without touching it opens to welcome
A fountain of water gliding like shining silver
A palace with the grandeur of the heaven
A door with a million holy bells ringing opens
Inside you get, there you see the unexpected..
Divinity of laying in mothers lap, finally I start sleeping.
I love this color very much. You can see my recent red rose photographs in the sidebar. My favorite color is a dark pinkish red and red. Vibrant, brilliant, bright, catchy and lovable color. Red, the color of heart, the color of blood, the color of the womb, the color of the angry eyes, the color of pain, the color of morning sun, the color in the rainbow, the color of the kumkum, the color of the mehndi, the color code for danger and the sign color for stop and red cross. How can the same color mean danger and also rescue savior!!
Please note that this post has nothing to do with the actual lemon. Just take the Capitalized letters. What they mean to you? May be nothing. But for me it has started to mean something more than usual and more than just letters it has taken a transformation to show me the fundamental needs or so to say essence of Life.
You might remember memorizing the alphabets in your primary school days through a song. You go till L,M,N,O,P and then you pause and then start again with L,M,N.. In a strange way it highlights these letters more than others.
May be it is an abbreviation and from my point of view the expansion of which would read Love, Music and Nature. The three things one cannot be without. Every single being is surrounded by these three components and they are entwined within themselves and into your being and your living. Every direction you turn you will encounter with nature, music and of course love.
LOVE: You may think that it is not possible that wherever you go you’ll have your loved ones around. It is not that. A smile from the person whom you just a while ago crossed spreads love. A simple gesture of giving way to you while you are in the hurry to move ahead is an expression of love. A helping hand which collects the things you just dropped is a facet of love. And the indeed the nature around is a huge symbol of love. Music is possible when your heart knows to love. Love is through and by the following senses – To see someone Smile, To respond by giving a hug. This part is symbolic of the Goddess Durga.
MUSIC: Music is part of life. When there is nothing you can hear you feel terrible as if some part of you is not with you. Music is everywhere and even within you – the heart beats. The hustle of leaves when there is a mild breeze. The waves of the oceans. The sound of the bees and birds. The voice of a baby. The Music is from every nook and corner of nature around us. Music establishes and get established through the listening and singing. This part is symbolic of the Goddess Saraswathi.
NATURE: Nature, there is no you without nature. There is no one without nature. Mother Nature embraces everything living and non-living. Nature is sky, sea, clouds, water, fire, wind, tide, breeze, trees, plants, animals, birds, earth, rainbow, desert, flowers, fruits, mountains, forests, and the whole universe inclusive of us humans. The air we breath is from nature. The water we drink is from nature. The food we eat is from Nature. The shelter we build is from nature. We are part and parcel of nature. The senses active are the smell of earth and the produce from earth like flowers, fruits, the sound of nature, the sight of nature, the touch of nature and the taste of nature. This part is symbolic of the Goddess Lakshmi.
Coming to LeMoN: As it represents all of them there should be something unique about it and that is the union of all senses. The squeezing sound, the fragrance, the taste, the look and the feel of lemon is indeed is as unique as the whole concept of life.
Mithali seemed very moody with lots of hidden emotions within her soul. She is married for one week now. What seemed enthusiastic faded away like a mist. For twenty years she has lived the life of an angel. Her father was the best she could have wished for and her mother was the better than best soul who cares for this kid of hers from the day she came to earth. The very first cry, her first smile, her first touch, her first voice, her first food, her first crawl, her first tooth, her first standing posture, her first step, her first word, her first kiss, her first day out and so on.. till her first job her mother was happy for her and happy about her.
Mithali excelled in every aspect of her life. Now she is stuck between nowhere. She cannot go back, yet she wishes she could just walk away to her home to her mother. There seemed a huge wall of separation which blurred her vision of her home. She doesn’t know what to do. This is not her home, she wants to get away and leave. The height of the wall seemed growing every single day. She cannot tell her mother how she feels as her mother was so happy seeing her get married to a wonderful guy and for the wonderful family he got. Mahesh was a nice guy indeed. The fact is he is more than nice, he has tried to make her feel at home from the day she came home. But she has failed responding lost in her own thoughts and not knowing how to mingle with the new family she has got. She could feel the love he has got for her and at the same time she is not experiencing the same happiness with which she was alive and fresh in her place. The freedom she had now seemed to have vanished into the sky. She started crying with the same rain which has made her the happiest person in the world. Her mood got down with the same sunset which has raised her spirits up to evening music. Her smile faded for the same music which lighted her heart.
Mahesh informed her about the shift of home to new one he has bought and thought of giving it as a present to her after marriage. She responded not more than the lifeless doll. They shifted things and a fine auspicious day they moved in. It was a huge house with lots of space around making it more lively with plants. Mahesh showed her their new room in the first floor. She saw the room and went to see the view through the balcony. The balcony had a swing where two people can make themselves comfortable. She sat there and starred at the sky. There were some people talking on the other side bungalow. She turned and to her wildest surprise it was her mother and father talking with Mahesh. She knew no bounds of happiness. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She ran fast to her mother like she was just back home after the long school hours. Dimples became visible after what seemed like an eternity. She was happy once again. She could not thank Mahesh more but by being the best wife he can ever get. What seemed like a rock hard wall extending to the height of the sky now turned into a transparent lovely screen which neither blocks her vision and not prevents her from being a child to her ever loving parents.
A long story written by me of the SciFi genre is posted here. Please respond with your valuable feedbacks here.
A wild storm would carry everything that it comes in contact with. Some situations in life are like that only. Before we realize what is happening everything would have been a past already. You need not force your self to be more responsible. You need not take the position of the take carer. Life will bestow it upon you without you knowing when you became so responsible. With reponsibility comes great power and with power comes the right to practice freedom of thought, speech and action. You should learn to practice freedom within its boundaries. Here comes the quote from the Spiderman movie “With great power comes great responsibility”. Enjoy the freedom and let others enjoy theirs. The transition of your self through different stages of life cannot be stopped but it should be embraced knowing the beauty of life lies in those Changes.
. Nothing like a fun trip, but indeed was 
. Of the many trees on the way it was particularly refreshing to see 
. I saw many parrots, kingfishers, rettai vaal kuruvis, pigeons, and many small birds whose names I do not know
