Cross Roads



As I bid farewell to the people whose love welcomed me into this world, I suddenly felt scared. Scared of the uncertain future into which I was inching forward with every breath of mine. Scared of the uncertainty, the questions that arise in my mind, am I capable, will I survive, the uncertainty of love, success, career, all just sprang up on me from all four sides.
I clearly remember that l have had this very same fear before. But then I had decided to cut all threads that hold me back and leap into the future with a certain amount of confidence that I will find someone along the path who will either be with me till the very end or if not someone will be there to guide me and help me. But now here I stand at the crossroads, not wanting to cut any bonds that have been created in my journey till here, just hoping that when I step across, I’ll have the same people who were with me till now along with me on my journey till the end. The knowledge of the fact that each person has his own path, I just hope that the path I chose will cross the paths of the people that I love, more often than just once.

It started as an obsession with the name Merryn John.

It was one among those dark evenings, at a park, when chance made him sit on that bench facing the creek. A beautiful lady walked across the horizon, towards him, and sat down next to him on the bench. That night John was extremely in love with that woman, who was a complete stranger to him. He knew that she’ll be the lady of his life. John’s intense love for that lady made him crazy till there reached a point where he decided to track her down and express his feelings. Merryn was a very sweet child from the day she could speak. Of course, can’t miss out on the graceful way she carried herself on the first day of school. She was very attached to her family. Being in a rough neighborhood has toughened Merryn’s emotions. She rarely believed in the concept of love and oneness. She always thought that no two person can be with each other for too long. That night she was extremely upset. She was cursing herself for having fallen into the trap of romance and being misled by it. She felt lone...

Platform no. 1

Every time I go home for my holidays, I take the Ernakulam – Tiruchirapalli Tea Garden Express which after 14 hours of travelling, arrives at the busiest and the biggest railway station in Kerala, Ernakulam South at half past six in the morning. My house is another two hour travel from Ernakulam and my preferred mode of transport from Ernakulam is a connection train that departs within the next half hour. Mornings at Ernakulam South railway station are the busiest hours, as this station is a hub for commuters that travel to work from nearby districts to this commercial capital of Kerala. Having nothing to do for the next 30 minutes till my train arrives, it has become my routine to sit on one of the concrete benches adorned by campaign posters of local political parties and watch the busy commuters walk by in a hurry to either get to their offices or to catch the next local train to nearby stations. It is during these 30 minutes of waiting that I see her. For the past two years, the th...

God? Or Gods?

The three largest religious scriptures in this world, The Holy Quran, The Holy Bible and The Veda constantly reminds its followers to submit themselves to the will of the supreme power namely the Almighty God. But over the years, the very definition of God has been modified to suit the situation and circumstances of the modern world. The essence of an almighty power has taken many forms and names over the years. In fact the situation today is such that, the purity of the word GOD has taken a downturn with the ability of languages to play around with this term. For example, the English language makes it possible for the term GOD to have a female gender (GODDESS), the term GOD FATHER or GOD MOTHER attributes a human to the stature of the almighty. The fact is that the supreme power of this universe has no form whatsoever and hence cannot be attributed to a human or have a gender. Today religion, which is technically the message of god to the people of this world to lead a peaceful and ha...
