Travel Boots

Of rains that poured
men that snored
lush green forests, slippery road
newly found friends to share the load
hungry leeches and dead frogs
a helpful guide and his friendly dogs
hesitant smiles that turned to nonsense banter
unfortunate incidents that no longer matter
coffee, tea and maggi that was hot
a new group of friends that earlier was not!
Guitar strums and heart warming songs
dumb-charades guesses - how many right and wrong?
A trek that took place on a cold day
who minds? It filled us with such warmth anyway...

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...

 It's Friday night and I had a horrible, long and tiring day at office.F inally, at 8.30pm after almost 12 straight hours of being at office and working for the day, when I got up, my slogging ass thanked me for releasing it off the pressure for a few minutes :D I expected the traffic to be better but who was I kidding? Bangalore Traffic! on a Friday night! Better?? *add a loud monstrous sarcastic evil laughter* MY FOOT!!! Riding back, thanks to the dark streets minus streetlights, as*****s who drive with high beam within city limits and potholes which are the size of a manhole, I had numerous moments where I thought today was the last day of my life on this wretched planet but guess the universe isn't done with me yet! Finally, after what seemed an hour of riding to cover a distance well within 10kms, I almost reached home if not for spotting a newly opened cafe. And suddenly, there was this beautiful thought inside my head to go on a date with myself!! I know right! That ...

"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a cheshire cat in a tree . 'which road do i take?' she asked . 'where do you want to go?' was his response . 'I dont know',Alice answered . 'Then' ,said the cat , 'It doesn't matter ...." I travel by the same route everyday to my stop and from there board a bus to my college, which again travels on the same discovered path . While riding till my stop, I always think on how similar our life is to a road trip !! We keep treading straight ahead , not taking a moment to try out a different path or make a new one ! Travelling on the recently finished tar road makes it so easy for us to ride and that gives so much joy and excitement just like how completing certain milestones of our life gives us the proud feeling and excitement to do more how much ever easy the task was! It makes us increase our speedometer's scale of achievement and there is nobody to stop us ..........We feel o...
