Midnight Kiss

Oh, the routine. Morning begins, tea, cooking, washing , waking the  little one up, getting her up and ready-brushing, bathing, feeding, drop and pick up from school, making her sleep, taking her down for the evening play,  dinner, clean up, making her sleep again.....Phew!

And then a kiss. The little one hugs you in the sleep and kisses you as though it is the most natural thing to do in the world... And thank god for the routine, it is worth every minute of it :)

Power of the Senses

Years pass by, but a tiny note from a known song, the scent of an unknown flower, the sight of a patterned dress evokes memories that have been deeply buried in the folds of incidents and events. We underweigh the strength of our memories. They are unimaginable.

And blessed are those people who are still able to connect to them. If you still feel the same as what you felt then, then you have remained untouched by the years. You travel through time to live that moment again.

The pang of nostalgia is divine. It makes you feel alive. Words do little justice to those feelings evoked but still, something is better than nothing.
