Air pressure

I like the way kids are straightforward about their thoughts. After the usual round of Saturday masti and pillow fights, as my little Aditi and I cuddle together for a cozy afternoon nap, she pinches my nose and says, 

" बाबा, तू श्वास घेऊ नकोस, मला वारा लागत आहे. " 

(Papa, don't you breathe, am feeling warm air)."

Let there be light

I used to write short poems circa 2001, then the ground realities of life got better of me. 

But looking at this photo, I felt it deserved a few lines...

Let there be light, 

Dispelling the gloom, fear and fright

Charge our souls, let the mind take a flight

Nay there be an idle moment, day, dusk or night

Get up, and get going; give it your best shot with all your might

'Cause... Only when you shed blood, sweat and tears,

There will be Light
