The Road not taken

As we journey through life, I am sure we all have instances when we wished we could have taken the other way, gone back in past, travel the time backward. At times even I do feel the same, how would it have been; to see the way of some other relationship which were untouched or incomplete, to explore some different opportunities, to have made some different choices in life and to take the untrodden road. But then I am happy not to be able to do that, as it leaves me an opportunity to visit them again, to come back to that unfinished story sometime in future. Well if I see through the end of the untravelled roads, the unfinished ralationships and the untouched opportunities I will have no reason to visit them again.

The Reader

Since childhood days, I loved to listen to stories of any kind and remember nagging my father for more. He would often tell me the same tale modifying the start or tailing the end, which hardly mattered to me and I listened with all my heart.
I am not a good reader, books makes me fall asleep in no time. Moving away from home, flowing with work and life I could not fancy listening to stories anymore and then one day I met my reader who would read me anything anytime. He introduced me to many books, books which told tale of love, adventure, romance, travel and so on. It was like living my dream.
Then came a day, the reader got exhausted and now we both catch up with technology rich audio visual version of it - movie time. It is fun but has no personal touch to it and I am still looking out for my reader.

Special touch

Dhruv my little one will soon be two. He is already running and talking now and once again I am learning my ABCs along with him. The immense energy he possess is beyond ours. He takes me to an entire different world. A world so beautiful, a world so innocent, a world where there is no worries, a world where you just play, run, laugh, smile and you close your eyes and fall asleep. As he is sleeping next to me now. A peaceful face, a godly calmness, hands and legs all over the bed, the no care and free attitude.
Our little charmer already know hypnotism, he has good knowledge and experience of laws of attraction and his naughty mischieveous smile....oh never go by them. The hugs, cuddles and the kisses that he throws at you, the no reason laughters can easily captivate your heart. I have so much to relearn from him.
Lastly his touch is so trusting specially when he firmly catches my finger, when he jumps knowing that we won't let him fall. I wish to get back my blind trust, the innocent touch and over all the forgiving nature and shedding off grudges. I wanna be a child again.
