Bliss

Bliss is when after a tiring day waiting 30 minutes in the snow for the bus with -12 degree Celsius temperature you are fighting a bad temper and frozen numb feet, your bus finally arrives and then your favourite music starts playing on the ipod; slowly starting to calm your nerves without you being aware and by the end of the song you start tapping your feet and half dancing in a crowded bus with no cares in the world....that is true bliss!!

SMILE!


This morning on the subway, a woman I see everyday got off at a station, but within seconds came running back to board the train again. She had this big embarrassed smile on her face, she had realized that she got off at the wrong station and realized only after she got off!!

Having started off the day with a grumpy mood, something as simple as this made me smile!!

Qurum Heights Road (Muscat) to 16th Avenue (Toronto)

It's the usual route we take every day, Qurum Heights Road each day every way.

Blistering heat outside, but cool airconditioning inside.

Towering rocky mountains on one side, and pristine white buildings dotted on the other side.

Chatting with friends on bluetooth and 95.9 Hi-Fm keeping us company.

Gradually Qurum Heights Road becomes 16th Avenue.

rocky mountains - green fields
round-abouts - intersections
brown scapes - lakes
bored camels - healthy horses
dry wadis - brimming lakes
Carrefour - Walmart

The journey from Qurum Heights Road to 16th Avenue is made. But the heart clings on forever and ever to the brown scapes...

Droplets...

Rain drops sliding down my window pane,

Nostalgic mood,

Mug of hot chocolate,

Legs curled under a blanket,

Comfortably tucked into the couch,

Snuggled in an embrace,

Old hindi songs playing softly,

So much to talk about,

And still nothing to discuss...

Rain drops sliding down my window pane.......

Raavanan

Usure Pogudhey.......

Adi Thaeku Mara kaadu Perusuthaan

Chinna Theekuchi Osaram Sirusuthaan

Oru Theekuchi Vizhunthu Pudikuthadi

Karunthaekumara Kaadu Vedikuthadi

Usure Pogudhey.......

 

Akkarai Cheemaiyil Nee Irunthum

Aiviral Theendida Nenaikuthadi

Agini Pazhamunu Therinjirunthum

Adikadi Naaku Thudikuthadi.............

Yetta Irukum Suriyan Parthu Mottu Virikidhu Thamarai

Thottu Vidatha Dooram Irunthum Sontham Banthamo Pogala...........

En Kattaium Oru Naal Saayalam

En Kannula Un Mugam Pogumaa

Naan Mannukulla un Ninapu Manasukulla............

usure poguthey usure poguthey ............

 

Rahman & Vairamuthu,

let me move on to some other song please........

you are making it impossible though !!!

In the true sense, "Usure pogudhey................."
