whispers of a passerby

-

There it stood
Rock Steady
The calmness of an ocean on the exterior
God knows covering what rumble inside
So impersonal looking
yet the most personal space for its inhabitant !
Made of brick or stone or costliest wood
is that of value or the priceless life it shelters ?

Blocks of house in a row as they stand,
acting as milestones of a passing memory ....

Love Languages

I wish I could write a solid piece of article on the current trending topic - LLMs! Instead I'm one letter short and here to talk more about LLs 😁 Gary Chapman, an American author and talk show host is credited and best known for his concept of the five love languages that humans use to express and receive love. They are:  Words of affirmation Quality time Gifts Acts of service Physical touch While it is established that people use all of these languages to some degree, a person will primarily speak one of these love languages. We all have different ways of expressing our love and have specific ways in how we want to be loved.  Perhaps this is one of the most profound concepts that can explain why relationships fall apart without placing blame on either of the parties involved. Sometimes, we fail to understand how to love the person we already love so that they also know it and then sometimes, there's a conflict/ trade-off involved where despite wanting to love someone the wa...

The Accidental Ant God

The other day, I accidentally carried an ant from my room to my office. (No, it wasn’t "Bring Your Pet to Work" day!) Apparently, this little explorer decided to embark on a spontaneous hike, scaling my office bag without a visa. It ended up commuting with me across what must feel like continents in ant terms. The poor thing had perched itself on the zip—until I spotted it and flicked it off. Just like that, it's now miles away from its colony, exiled by a creature hundreds of times its size. Back home, ants on my bed don't usually get such thrilling adventures. More often, they face my wrath. Sometimes they get squashed just for walking across the wrong pillow—thanks to the itchy memories left behind by their bitey brothers. I wonder—do they curse me? Do their tiny communities whisper legends of the great karma? And what about the ants living in the crevices between my bathroom tiles? Every time I shower or wash the floor, they experience sudden floods—disasters of b...

Jagjit Singh ,often known as the ghazal maestro has nursed many hearts and soul through his voice and music. I first got introduced to his music through my mother. I fell in love with his songs, listening to her sing in her sweet voice to herself as she went about doing daily chores. The songs felt more deep, meaningful, comforting and pleasant when it came from her and still does! :)  The songs are not fast paced ,don't have drum beats, they don't have aggression in them nor do they contain swear words as lyrics but they strike the innermost chords of your heart, calm down the evil in you rather than bring it out and compel you to think about your life for sometime at least ...  His words flow as songs themselves and stand in front of you as visuals even with your eyes closed and humming the tunes over and over again just takes you to another world, a beautiful one at that .... Here I am presenting the top 10+1 all time favourite 'Jagjit specials' of mine ...
