Magic to me is.

-

 


Magic to me was a wand,
Magic to me was a flying broomstick,
Magic to me was a fierce looking witch,
Magic to me was a fairy tale,

Until…

I got an invitation into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…
Magic to me became Quidditch,
Magic to me became Owls,
Magic to me became fighting You Know Who,
Magic to me became the life of the boy with a lighting scar,

Until…

I got an invitation into motherhood…
Magic was the gift of two loving souls,
Magic was their unconditional love for me,
Magic was to become their only world,
Magic was to discover an entire new me through them,

Until…

I got an invitation into Spirituality…
Magic to me is His Voice,
Magic to me is His Words,
Magic to me is His Energy,
Magic to me is to feel His presence.

Until…

He gave me the eyes to experience MAGIC...
In knowing,
In believing,
In experiencing,
In surrendering…

And,

Helping me realise,

Magic is in living!

Cooking Time

  It was a holiday, and the day started lazily. The harsh summer heat was toned down by a sudden morning shower. The weather also seemed to play along with my leisure mood, bringing its cool and pleasant face, a rarity in May. My kitchen, usually a hot furnace, seemed cool and welcoming today. It put me in a perfect mood, and I set out to cook something special.  Pav Bhaji, a street food from the financial capital of India, Mumbai, consists of thick vegetable gravy (Bhaji) served with a soft bread roll (Pav). I started the cooking process of the Bhaji. On the stove went in a pressure cooker with vegetables and a Kadai with onion and spices. The aroma of the spices filled the house. I kept adding one ingredient after the other in the kadai, watching the pressure cooker for any sign of pressure release. It seemed to take forever. It was stubborn and showed no sign of whistling, even under maximum heat. It got me thinking that no matter what we do, every dish has a cooking time t...

The Ladder

  There comes a time, When you rise and shine, A caterpillar from the comfort of a cocoon, Breaks free, To become a butterfly... Yes, I had my butterfly moment this week. I had always wanted to do it, but I was nervous as hell. I always marvelled at the effortless ease with which people around me did it, even my kids. I wondered, why was I unable to get myself to do it… The very thought of doing it, made me nervous. A hundred ‘what if’ scenarios played in mind. What if, I fall. What if, I slipped. What if, it broke. What if, I am stuck. I shuddered at the thought of one of the scenarios really happening. Though the probability of it happening is like one in a million, the mind is such a peculiar thing, it clings on to the most inconsequential thing, to escape the situation. I continued to be in my comfort zone, always wanting, yet too scared to take the first step. This week I got the much-needed push, when life put me through an experience that forced me out of my comfort zone. I ...

My little miracle

-
Image
Into my womb, she came, With her, she brought faith. Testing me every other month, With names that had my heart go numb. Motherhood as old as the world, Always come with a scare that makes you go cold. Every mother here, Will vouch for this fact without fear. Yet we indulge in it, A journey laborious yet sweet, That leaves scars on our bodies, Yet our heart and mind fulfilled. Mine was one such journey, Like the potter, she held me inside, While life chiselled me outside, Rooted in faith was all she asked, To deliver the miracle that she was.
