Raindrops

Pitter patter raindrops
Rounded at the base
Tapering on top
It falls into the flower pot
And lashes the city dry and hot
Crystal clear diamond like
It lands upon a rusted spike
Rain induced muddy swirling torrents might
Kept in control by a powerful dyke
The vast skies a crimson red
Far above ones bed
Pitter patter raindrops
Far above the mountain tops

To Kolkata With Love !!

Image
A month and a half ago as I finished the last amount of packing I braced myself to take a flight out of Toronto back to a distant land I was once born in. Two years was a long time I had not prepared myself for all the changes I was about to experience. The plane flew on through the night with the gentle buzz of the turbines. After a journey over the turbulent Atlantic, historic Europe and war torn Middle East my final mode of transportation circled in the sky as it dramatically lowered itself bracing to grip the warm black tarmac and screech to a halt. The plane covered in tiny icicles from the freezing atmosphere lowered slowly its wheels gripping the tarmac. As the plane screeched to a halt the passing tall grass and the brown earth made me realize I was finally home after almost two years.                    The luggage carousal swung around lazily releasing luggage to weary passengers almost ready to leave the confines of the airport. Phones rang as eager relatives tried to c

Summer Walks Around My City !!

Image
With summer touching the shores of Canada, the Northern polar hemisphere awakes from its slumber to take advantage of the beautiful warm weather. At this time of the year people walk a lot coupled together with biking and scooter rides thanks to the city tying up with an Los Angeles based company to promote an active city. Waterloo is a beautiful city filled with breath taking trailways, little rivulets and brooks that trickle their way through the city from their mother source The Laurel Creek which feeds the conservation centre and Waterloo's biggest summer attraction around the year. My husband and I both share a love of long walks amidst nature as your heart and mind are the calmest when you are one with Nature. We have taken many walks around our little city together and seem to have taken a love for all the little corners far from the madding crowd of Waterloo Public Square                                  The other day I chose to take my husband to the wonderful Waterl

SPY DIARIES: A Tale of Narcotics and Mysterious Romance

2:30 am the silence of the night was broken by the sudden an urgent ring of my cellphone. Drowsy as I was after a late night with friends at a pub in down town San Francisco I groped around for my cellphone. My room was illuminated by pale slivers of light emanating from the gloomy street lamps. On taking the call I realized it was my handler calling up to brief me on a certain plan of action. No doubt I had been in this line for years I still felt like a kid whenever my handler called to fill me in on the details and strategies.   His voice was husky and unearthly and the hour of the call made it all the more a top-secret matter. Agent 001 he said “Hayes street 5 am old pal, see you there” being a Britisher, new to the environment here in North America it was quite an experience. Basically, I was here in San Francisco as part of the Scotland Yard. I reached Hayes Street at 5 am and amidst the early morning bustle of the city I met my handler Ramon. Over a cup of coffee at Starb
