Like father, like daugther.. Love father

(Long Time Ago…) It was already late. I looked at the clock in the hall. It said eleven. My brother, my mother and I were all waiting to see my dad… after nearly six months! My dad was in a transferable job and he rarely visits. My dad used to stay close to my heart only through the trunk calls he used to make when I was in my school. He always claimed that he had electronic media device fitted in my classroom, bathroom and house and hence all my actions will be recorded. I used to believe this until I was in 9th standard! How dumb!! My dad predicts almost everything I did. It was then I realized I’m typically like my dad. I had the skills of humour, leadership, communication, ego and pride, everything I did was a reflection of what my father did in the past. Days passed, I finished School and decided to study in the prestigious College, GCT, Coimbatore. Now it was my turn to stay away from my family.

My Butcher and Me!

When I was a little girl, appa used to visit us twice or thrice a year. Whenever he comes, he will take me and anna in his bullet to a nearby butcher shop, I used to keenly listen to the conversations my appa had with the butcher! He will instruct the butcher about the exact portion of the meat he prefers and he will also say what we will be cooking.

Even when my mother Anandhi Venugopal used to send my brother Anandha Rajan , he used to come back home saying “bhai enna thambi romba naala mutton vaangala nu ketaaru! (Bhai asked why didn’t we buy mutton for so long) Such was the emotion back then! But once my brother started buying mutton, I hardly visited a butcher in chennai! Should have been more than 30 years I ever spoke to a butcher in Chennai! But here is my...

Random thoughts at night, A silent kill

How life has changed... from eagerly waiting to be loved to be desperate of finding someone to love! What has happened to the love of my life? Some thoughts literally pierce my heart like a knife! I always had the attention of my father Until I married this Man,  This Man who was more than everything else but has time changed or just my thoughts rather? Where are the days when someone admired me I now lost my voice, my soul still alive Deep inside is a cry which only I hear No i don't want to cry aloud, My children are still asleep That moment when i see them sleep This moment is the most peaceful one For a moment I have no other thought And then this insecure moment starts creeping in What happened to the man, who gave me all joy Now i have none to share my pain We find each other so different so different from what i have seen has it something to do with time or will time change this presumed notion I have umpteen though...
