I wonder at times why i keep visiting bookstores. Almost always i go there with no intention to buy. I just walk past the books picking up only those titles or authors that strike my eye.
Often thought when I get to know of a book I wouldn't find it anywhere. Then at times when the mood is right..I wake up have a break fast along with a good filter coffee..and set out to the book store...Once I reach the book store I take a deep breath taking in all that new book smell.. And then the SEARCH begins..
The search might go on for hours..picking books that intrigue me.. Reading the rough notes at the back of the cover to know what its about.. then taking a random page in the book and reading it..are my usual method of selection..Now these books only passed the preliminary level the next test involve finding the favorite out of these.. cos i know for a fact that buying all that at a time will make me loose interest in reading them.. I'm easily bored.
After all these trouble I dipped deep into my head to know to find out why i like going to a book store..
And then it came to me..
As I walk between the isles and I glans at the books i walk past..I read the titles, I see the cover pages..Its like meeting a lot of new people..listing to their stories..Ignoring the ones that I'm not interested in, ever so rudely..Its like going for a party where people share there stories...some are sad.. some are happy..some just the bare truths life..

Rain
Its raining outside now,
And there is no place I would rather be.
In the warmth of my cozy bed,
Wrapped up in my blanket looking out the window..
I wish it rained like this everyday,
Cos I love to wake up to the sound of rain.
Even in the gloomiest of my days,
It brings a smile to my face.
Like a holy water from the heavens,
It Washes away all my past sorrows.
These giant tears of the cloudy skies,
Makes my worries look so silly.

Just something I wrote for Valentines Day..
A dream I have had ever since I knew of love
The dream of her resting on my chest..
And while she lay there listining to my heart..
I would so much like to plant a kiss on her head..
Silently telling her, All my love is always been for her.
Oh, how patiently, i await for this moment to come
With only a wish I have for this life time..
And that is, for her to know how deeply I love her.
The dream of her resting on my chest..
And while she lay there listining to my heart..
I would so much like to plant a kiss on her head..
Silently telling her, All my love is always been for her.
Oh, how patiently, i await for this moment to come
With only a wish I have for this life time..
And that is, for her to know how deeply I love her.

Words Not Spoken...yet understood
Hi,
This is about a thought i had while i was taking a walk near my flat.
I have been staying in the same area for about 4 years now. Almost all the shopkeepers know me by now, and while i pass in front of there shop some give a casual smile while some a wave... I too do the needful to maintain this relationship.
One fine evening i decided to take a walk. The weather was wonderful calm a little cold but it had that feel in the air that would compel any soul to take a walk. My exams had just got over and i felt relaxed...happy.
I didn't have a destination in my mind while i started off just thought i will go where my legs take me. I stopped at a bakery to have some coffee. It is when i was having the coffee that i saw it.
There was a cyber cafe right opposite to this bakery, I used to often visit there before i got my Internet connection. It was run by this young guy hardly older than me. This young chap couldn't talk i think it was a birth defect, but he run the place so smoothly that all his customers were pleased with him.
Well on this particular day while i was having a cup of coffee i noticed that he was talking with a group of his friends. He wasn't talking in any sign language but just trying to talk like all normal people did..only difference was that when he talked only sounds came out and not words.. But i was amazed by the fact that his friend understood what ever he said and replied. It got me thinking what does it require to communicate was it just sound?
With these thoughts in my mind i continued my walk. I walked for couple of minutes and I got a miss call. I checked the no. it was from an old schoolmate in Oman.
This was her way of saying "i just thought of you" or just "Hi i miss you".. I smiled to myself and gave a miss call back.
If you think about it you can see that we spoke a lot of words without even saying anything... just a miss call.. Thus was the thought i had on unspoken words...
