Walking In A Winter Wonderland...



They say a Picture is worth a Thousand words.  So this article would be worth atleast 6-7000 words. Let's see if they convey what I had to convey about the landscape when I was clicking these.

The Olivera Crossing

At this moment of your life, you find yourself in a place, where you might or might not have visualised yourself in, some seasons ago. May be you planned to get here, may be you didn't. May be you wanted to be here, may be you didn't.. May be you do not like being here, or may be you do...! One year ago I came to this place called Concord. My first impression while in the taxi from the San Francisco Airport, was that I might not be too comfortable with this area. God knows why I felt it that way then. Could be because I was more comfortable with the country-look of Malvern. I sure was intimidated at first. But then I knew I had people here whom I knew well from my past. So, I felt comforted. The decision was taken to be here, for various reasons. I wanted this stopover in life to be reached. So this crossing is being made. We live at an apartment complex. The apartments are on a drive, which is covered by a canopy of the plentiful trees. The Drive makes for a nice walk. For the...

A Fractured Acquittal...

It was the first year of my primary school. Was a day like any other. It was just past recess. I was back in the class after watching boys from my class play pakdapakdi (catch-n-cook). I remember D'Mello teacher had come into the class. She was a replacement for Gaekwad teacher, who had proceeded on long leave for some reason. I was quite fond of her, as were many boys of the class. She seemed to be very beautiful, and quite adorable, apparently contradictory to the quite strict Gaekwad teacher, who was our actual class teacher. There had been some incident. And I was paying good attention to the goings on, like all first standard boys do when the teacher is broaching some serious subject. SN had fractured his hand and the discussing was abouot how it happened, and who was responsible for it. Then PK stood up and said "It was Shailendra". This accusation struck me out of the blue; and I did not what to say, except for mumbling something like 'It was not me...". W...

Aajikade jaaun yeto...

A branch from Ranade Road cuts in into Gokhale Road. And right in front of this T Section, is Krishna Kripa. Whether coming back from a brief spell of shopping at Ranade Road (which, along with the Shivaji Park is my favorite part of Central Mumbai), or coming back from the Dadar Railway Station, or station as we call it, 'Aajikade' was where we always had a stopover before heading to our 'extension' abodes. Seeing the silhoutte of Aaji standing by the balcony railing was always comforting sight. I used to wave from across the road. Aaji would strain to see who it was, from her first floor vantage point; and a smile crossed her face inevitably when she realised it was me. She used to respond with a calm, yet happy wave back, and moments later I would be scrambling my way up the stairs of Krishna Kripa. The stairs there make a rickety-rackety noise, thanks to one or two metal plates nailed to each step. Inside the house, there would be Aatya going about some work. You co...
