On watching the lunchbox

The hurts and the pains.
The hard crystals that stay within,
hurting every moment, yet part of life;
All melt into tears listening to short little
phrases uttered in another space,
in another moment, in another occasion.
A few words, a few thoughts
with the power of rain
on a land of droughts.

Happy Holi

Happy Holi in Hong Kong - it was the first day when jackets could be taken off. Perfect for Holi colours - though it was not warm enough for water play. The kids were thrilled - could not stop laughing and giggling :)

Who rocks the cradle?


It is not me
It is you.

You carry yourself
to places far and beyond;
Where you dare to go
Where you dare to be.
It is you,
It is not me.
I don't deserve credit for 
the accolades you earn.
I just feel happy for you.
I am happy to be happy for you.

It is not me.
It is always you.

The chess season

Arunav got a medal for being one of the top 6 players in the tournament out of 246 players from all over Hong Kong. He had not been playing for long but from last week he worked hard for 3 days and got rewarded.

He had super fun in the school camp too. Rock climbing, raft building, shelter building - it seemed a dream for us who never had such stuff in school.

Over the moon

 describes what Aarushi was when her name was announced as the female champion in the age 7-8 category. I would have been too if I ever got such a huge trophy for anything! What a lucky girl she is! I must give her credit for doing pretty well considering she turned 7 just a week back to get into the older category, and so all her competitors were much older than her.   

She cannot stop smiling since yesterday and I can't help smiling at her super-glad face :)
