A soft touch!!

Before today, It had never happened to me. Just yesterday I was tired, little upset (for a silly reason), had a bit of pain in my legs n back ( because of dance classes) and just couldn't sleep till it was 2:30. I was reading Harry Potter #3 but the sad part is this is the only harry potter movie I have watched many times so wasn't able to enjoy it properly :-/ . ( Some of you might be wondering over it but its good you know that I haven't seen them properly. I can read all the parts enjoying them to the fullest!! )


At 5:30 am or nearby, My phone rang. It was a fitful sleep already, so I woke up almost immediately. It was my  jiju (brother-in-law) on the other side, announcing so darn happily over phone,"Congratulations jee, aap maasi bann gye ho!! :D" (Congratulations, You have become an aunt). My sister (cousin) gave birth to baby boy and I was happy beyond limits. He's the first one next generation actually. I told my mother, congratulated the new mom n my jiju and the first thing in the morning I did was to tell my brother the same and that I want to go n see her then n there. I wanted to see how a one-day old baby looks like. Ofcourse I wanted to see my sister but I must admit that I was more excited to see the baby.


Oh the baby!! Soft, Delicate, tender n the cute way he yawned.! Can't just tell you how i felt. When I took him in my hands it was such a ........uh! I dont have words. It was like a bundle of soft cloth with button eyes n rosy lips. I gave him back after just 5 minutes coz I thought I might not be able to handle him. I couldn't hold such a delicate thing in my hands. When we helped him onto the bed I kept playing with him. His head was so soft n such smooth hair, it was a bliss to touch them. His so small hands n legs were so cute. and I am presuming its the way with all infants, U place a finger on his palm and he'll clutch it sooo tightly that u'll be amazed.



It was so nice to see him today.



Tiny li'l palms, button eyes
Oh! the way he yawned n then smiled.
serenity, innocence,
Purity n no pretense.
Oh! why do we grow up?

Why can't it always be
A soft touch! A feather touch!!

    Heartiest congratulations and indeed a good post. loved the poem especially. When I had held my son just a few minutes old I was also so overwhelmed by his tiny hands and feet. Even today I remember him as that tiny baby boy who came into our world and blessed us.

This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda Chosen among the Loved posts!! "Again you are scribbling..Can't you put your nose off your books and papers for sometime?" my mother snaps at me as I scribble a poem. "Oh ma! Atleast listen to what I wrote" "Hmm...tell" "Ahmm ahmm" I pretend to clear my throat and My mum laughs back. "Will you open your mouth or should I go back to kitchen?" "Oh!No-no please!" I say quickly and grab her by elbow. Who doesn't want audience? ;) Listen," Life's unpredictable, Can't say when it would take a turn. We can't really say, When life might be deprived of all fun. It's true, What elders say, You should know to walk alone; No matter  Come what may. She smiles and looks at me for some time curiously. "You write well and what you've written is indeed true."...

*FICTION* I was going through all the messages and chats we had shared just a month back. How things change I wonder!! Re-reading them was like going through many emotions. Those lines still gave me the same smile, same laughter the way they had given me a month before or so. Though yes, this time, those were accompanied by a li'l sadness and a wish. A part of me still wished if it could be continued, if we could take it further. A wish that at least it should not have ended so abruptly like this. He thought for a while and thought about calling her. Perhaps he could change this. There was no point in continuing but he was feeling a turbulence inside him. He had always felt something different about her. After his previous relationship which ended on a bitter note, he came across somebody different. The reason why they became friends and then why he chose to end everything were unknown to him. It started all of a sudden and then ended. He knew he had his 'be prac...

The Stranger

*FICTION* Last Saturday, I was at British council, New Delhi  center.  I had gone there to collect my certificate. The receptionist told me that my teacher would arrive in an hour and only then I could collect my certificate so I went to the Charbagh there to spend my time. Since all the tables were occupied (yes there is a good sitting arrangement too), I sat at one of the slabs surrounding a fountain which is there in the middle of Charbagh. I assumed it was a pleasant day but the wind was dry and temperature not as low as I had expected. There were people sitting on the other slabs too. As it was a dry day, I scooped some water on my palm from the fountain. Freshness surrounded me so I kept doing it again and again. After a few minutes I realized a girl was observing me. She was beautiful. I wanted to stare at her for a few more minutes but I did not want to look like an idiot. So I averted my eyes and then moved to the area where there is a sculpture. Th...
