It was terrible weather last evening, when we were heading home.
The weather warning was amply conveyed on the overhead electronic display boards on the E 01 with a request to reduce speed to 60 Kmps because of the slippery road condition and poor visibility.
Did anyone heed to it?
When the police should have been out there in force to show their presence was sadly missing and only time I saw a police vehicle on the road near one of the accident sites.
Other days, when the Sun is out, they play what small kids do (Hide & Seek) but come rain and where they disappear into, I have no clue.
Has anyone been convicted basing on CCTV footage?
The journey that normally takes me to do in 1 hour and 20 minutes took me more than two hours to complete due to weather last night.
But the weather was not the only factor it took so long.
I say it was due to so many “Asses on Wheels” on the E 01 last evening.
I do not mind people being disrespectful to them but I am worried about our personal safety when many do not heed to warnings and trying to flaunt their wealth, stupidity and F#@&*%$ driving skills that may endanger another’s life.
I do not want to be just another statistic, just because of your stupidity and arrogance.
Keep your show-offs to yourself and tries your driving skills on a track specially designed for that and not on public roads please.

Not To Give You Sleepless Nights
I see the right words right in front of me
But unable to grab them with my tongue lately
Sign of old age or something more sinister
I am clueless, but prefer the former.
Rearing kids to face the future
The prime duty of a parent
This does not mean giving you sleepless nights
But to prepare you
As I had been in the past.
My speech may no longer be coherent
This does not mean the thoughts are in the same league
I can still run, toggle, fast forward and rewind memories
And enjoy every moment of it
Despite my apparently impassive looks.
I am not a prisoner stuck in an old body
I am still a happy bird free to roam the world
Taste the food that I once loved
Read a book and enjoy watching kids play
But these are now done in my mind only.

Unmasking ?
In everyone’s life, it is said that each one will get Three (03) Teachers, Three (03) Friends, Three (03) Enemies and Three (03) Lovers.
Unfortunately, they all are disguised and to know which is which with certainty , one has to learn from, trust, fight and love them equally, one time or the other.
At the end, you would be able to unmask all.

What was It running away from then ?
Life crawls to dry land
Once, million years ago
Was it to seek refuge or better life?
What was it running away from then?
War of some sort or degradation
Answers we would never know.
Life crawling back in to sea again
Millions years later
This time around
We know what it is running away from
The meaningless wars
Humiliations and degradations.
Living is going through circles
And have we come to the point
Where it all started
Once, million years ago.

Bag full of Tricks
Conjure up at the fall of a hat
Fumbles desperately
Scraping the bottom
But nothing is left in there
When one is needed most.
Cheerful and vociferous
Specially this time of the year
Happy to lay eggs in another’s nest
So it will has more time to be
Happy and chirpy.
Cave or Condo
No matter where one lives
Throwing seeds around and far
The only thing
The evolution ever failed to tame.

Above and Beyond the Law
We all want to believe that none should be above the law.
This is good only on paper and some are always above and beyond the reach of the law.
Some rulers get away with even murder and not even get a knock on their wrist for their crimes.
But unfortunate others end up in more troubles than one could imagine.
There are two things that we can do in this situation.
Because believing in that law is impartial and has the power to reach at anyone is just another fallacy only.
The best thing is to stay out of troubles, if you have no way of joining the elite club of those are above and beyond the reach of the law.

Question of Allegiance.
Now the World Cup Cricket 2015 has entered its Super 8 stage and all four Test playing Asian teams are in the Super 8 stage.
Seeing thousands of fans clad in their favorite team’s attire swarming into ground, I could not help asking aloud the above question.
Most of them are either first or second generation Aussies, but clad in their former place of domicile (or of their parents') team's attire and supporting the team (when it is pitted against their present host country) is not amounting to breach of their pledged allegiance?
