The Temptation and the new friend

 

Temptation is  quite a hard thing to resist .


It was right there in front of my eyes , settled beautifully under a tree . In the only place , that could offer a cold breeze among the others where sun reigns and takes fun in making us sweat and run towards shade , it stays , adding an eerie feel to the spot .


I wanted to go and touch it , may be play with it , but was worried about what people might think or say . It is certainly not the thing a grown-up like me would do . So with all my might , I tried to push the thought to the back of my head . It was hard , to try not to do something that you desperately wanted to do and that too , everyday - Blimey !!! Its hard .


But today , I couldn't . I decided that I shall do it today , strolled towards it slowing looking around making note of what all is happening around me , and if there would be any potential stalkers or if anyone would actually be interested in what I'm gonna do . 


The spot is at the left corner of a west-facing apartment , and among trees ,beautifully located and hidden from the tantrums of the sun . A very busy road in front of the apartment . Its quite a very narrow road and hence the traffic , frequented by school buses and busy office goers .


To its left is yet another busy one , but this one is wide and connects the narrow one . The spot , though not openly visible , is still prone to a few eyes .


It was time , no more thinking . I finally decided to go near it . Placed my left leg on it and my hands holding the top . I pushed myself with my right foot and round and round I went . It was seriously good , flooding my thoughts with old childhood memories . It felt very warm . It was a spin-wheel gate , fixed as a side entrance for pedestrians and may be for kids to play with . I did when I was a kid .

Now I opened my eyes , but still didn't let go of it and was still spinning . Round I went , and I saw an auto-driver , curiously staring at me . I held his gaze for a moment but then averted it . Round again , in this end , I was welcomed my many smiling faces in that narrow road , I told you about . A few genuinely smiling and happy that I could dare to be like a child again , which they couldn't and others mocking my childish act . To the first category , I nodded my head and returned a smile and tried to communicate that it's a lovely feeling . To the other category , the "who cares !!?!! " look .


Round again - and this time , I could sense a pair of eyes glaring at me , furiously . Shocked at the expression , I stopped . He still didn't take his eyes off me . His hands went to his hip and he was standing in a way to prove his authority . Confused , I still didn't leave it . He then raised his head up and signaled me to move back . Now I understood , it was his territory , his spot and I'm a stranger . I then nodded apologetically and moved back . He then got on to the gate and again stared at me , not moving . Realization dawned on me - he wanted me to spin the gate for him . I did - and his scowling face now gave a big warm smile - appreciating my good work .


He was fair with big round eyes and was wearing a neatly ironed school uniform . He should be around 6 years old . I stopped spinning and he jumped from the gate and rushed towards the auto that was waiting for him . He then turned back and shook his shoulders and the school bag he was carrying l along with it . It appeared to be a new bag with a big- colorful spiderman picture . I nodded and smiled , accepting that it's wonderful . He understood it and grinned . He was very happy with that bag . He then waved his hands big and said bye . I waved back , smiling at his cuteness .  Into the auto he went , and left for his school .

There , I have made a new friend . I'm sure our friendship will grow as I'm going to wait there every single day for my office bus and may be greeted with his lovely smile everyday .


I was gifted with the opportunity to visit my childhood and make a new lovely friend. Wonderful start , for a day .


Children are a constant reminder of how beautifully things were – arent they ???

Jeova sanctus unus

One of the world’s greatest scientists.He was an alchemist, a member of the Royal Society of London, a Rosicrucian, and he signed some of his most secretive science papers with a pseudonym — ‘Jeova Sanctus Unus’ ! which means “One True God”. He signed his name that way because, like the ancient Adepts, he understood himself as divine. In addition, because the sixteen letters in Jeova Sanctus Unus could be rearranged to spell his name in Latin, making it a perfect pseudonym. Jeova Sanctus Unus is an anagram of a famous alchemist’s name in Latin. Latin interchanges the letters J for I and the letter V for U, which means Jeova Sanctus Unus can actually be perfectly rearranged to spell this man’s name. Isaacus Neutonuus. Newton’s name had always been a recurring guidepost for those seeking secret knowledge. Great man and a brilliant one indeed!!!

Sa re ga ma–again . Oh! Plzzz

  NO OFFENSE INTENDED . Its always a pleasant thing to listen to music when you are completely bored or stressed out . But the music I listen to , in college . Phew….will come to that later . Most of my classes in college are totally boring these days . My friends , open up their mobile phones , keep them under the desk and start messaging to their friends , in such cases .I am not the always-texting kinda guy , so I just pretend listening and Im quite good at that . Boring lecture are always comfortable for many , as they could do whatever they want , than to listen .But I prefer them to be interesting. Wait !! Wait !! Don’t get any ideas .Definitely not to listen but to escape from my aquarian friend (My best pal). An interesting class with equations and derivations will keep him busy . He sticks his head to his notebook and comes out with doubts and questions .He very well knows that im not the one to ask questions to , so he deals all that stuff with others . Think that ...
