THE BLOG OF (sm)all THINGS.........

Bruised,battered here i lay; Wish i had something i could say. Never ever did i feel so low, Couldn't even ask you,why did you go?? Was it your smile or was it mine?? neither of us knew it had begun something very fine. Never did i know it would haunt me forever, Every memory,every recollection would make me suffer. Smiling,which i once thought was the easiest thing to do. To my dismay,i discover it can be tough too. Humour,which seemed omnipresent once,is gone too. Now the light has dawned,they were all because of you. Now that you are gone,i look back and wonder A beautiful distraction;"was it you who made me flounder"?? "no!!it can't be you"cries out my heart, still confused as to why you chose to part. A lesson learnt;some fingers burnt, I still sit back and hope. I wait for a miracle long overdue; Memories of love;nothing but a distant hue.....

It had been an eventful day...after getting my discharge papers ready,i had been to meet the commandant of the COMMAND HOSPITAL..the wait had been long and tiresome.. I was finally getting discharged after a month long hospital stay.... Having come twice earlier to get a document signed at the CPL,i was frustrated as the designated officer was nowhere to be found.. walking out of the corridor,I wasn't in the best of moods.. I saw a JAWAN coming from the other side.. As he passed by..i heard him singing " khayalon jo khwabon mein socha nahin tha,tune mujhe itna pyar diya..." a smile played on my lips and i suddenly realised i was continuing from where he had left " main jab bhi,jahan bhi kadi dhoop mein tha...." my mood suddenly changed for good....the smile now having converted into a broad grin...was it the song or was it the timing??...i've been wondering. P.S.-ever wondered how the effect of one line of a song heard somewhere unexpectedly diffe...

hiiiiii(jacker). .......try singing it....... hiiiii(jacker) ...funny??...I know its not but then the guy 4 whom it was made wasn't either.. STRIKE 1 - "hi!i'm capt. Dhiresh Chandra 4m the merchant navy,father of Lt. Niraj chandra". ...I looked up and saw a portly,stout man.White beard and glasses in place. A huge belly and heavily strapped legs gave me some indication of his problems. "hello sir!i'm med cadet hitesh 4m AFMC". ...pleasantaries exchanged,he proceeded 2 his bed. A new day....uncle(for my convenience,we call him uncle 4m nw)gets up early and he seems to be on the lookout for something.... actually..he's on the lookout of 'someone'....and the funny part,which i later come to know-that 'someone' could be anybody...anybody who's in his senses and responds even slightly to whatever he's uttering.. that day...i turned out to be that person...not that i had the slightest intention of getting into a conversati...

Lying in hospital since the previous 30 days...life's been a roller-coaster in the true sense of the term...never expected an innnocuous looking bout of fever to keep me in bed for so long.... For the first 14 days the docs weren't able to diagnose nythng nd i was on symptomatic treatment....and yes,those were the days i was running helter-skelter to get tests done-USG,CT SCAN nd what not!!....nd i've lost count of the nmbr of times i've given blood,nt that i bothered to count nywys.... and i certainly don't blame my doc the way some of my co-patients very blatantly do...poor chap!!...he's following the standard procedure..its certainly not his fault if the results prove inconclusive... I chuckle silently when i hear some of my co-patients,most being officers in the army,navy or air force,lament the fact that their treatment's taking so long.Some even go to the extent of questioning the doctor's integrity and commitment in treating his patient.. ...

" she smiled at me on a subway...she was with another man "..... With a song on my lips,I entered PATANJALI-the civil opd complex lecture hall.It was then that I saw her. And the funny part,she smiled at me(even though it wasn't a subway) and she actually was with another man(her dad perhaps),sitting on a chair next to him. With a smile that could haveimpressed even your grandpa and kajal-laden eyes that were so conspicuous by their brown button like appearance, she was a breathtaking sight to say the least.Not to mention the vacant stare she gave me when i entered the LH complex..as if she'd been waiting for me. Hair that swayed in the air being thrown on her by the dysfunctional fan right next to where she was sitting and her cheeks... GOSH!!...Laloo would have fared better in elections had he promised the people of Bihar of making the the state's roads as smooth as her cheeks instead of some yesteryear film-actress. She was a lovely baby...i kept lookin...
