Azure

So far away, the sky sits beautifully. At this resplendent hour, it looks at us with redeeming assurance. Yes, Morning is on its way. The birds will be the first ones to get wind of it. They will start their welcome song just as the initial rays of the golden sun start peeping out from the horizon. The colors will change from dark blue to steel gray to sunrise pink and finally, to azure.A refreshing shade of azure.

Only then will the insomniacs turn off their lights, switch off their computers and thus will end their night-long contemplations.

The slow humming of man made machines will take over the welcome song. Soon their will be more noise. Televisions. Radios. News. Traffic. Utensils. Water. Conversations. Yawns. Arguments. Scratches. Music. Some more music. Some more arguments.


The bird songs have long become inaudible. The sky is a shade of murky Grey. The azure has accepted its defeat. Out of habit.


Sometimes I wonder, what would it be like, to be a railway track. Steely and sturdy. Ever so ready to brave the storm. Ever so ready to shoulder responsibility. Never complaining about the brunt of burden.

Hi ,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be wow.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘~Glib art~’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,
