Obituary of the Nightingale

 As She lay in state , the mellifluous voice silenced forever , Lata Mangeshkar , straddling over four generations like a Colossus , ringing  in our hearts  &  mind . Glad I was witness to her phenomenal career over the decades . RIP .

The askance from life ever since our birth , the desire & quest for achievement , all a basic tenet of Humanity ....as people excel in their respective fields , the peak & the trough ...for depart we must frm this  beautiful world of ours  so  very  much endeared ...

As you Love &  more so  you  Love your environment  , a tear drop is  hidden as the  curtain  falls , you go back as you  came with not  even a shred  of  the  temporal .

Then  there  is  this  rustle  of  the  leaves as the  wind  blows  gently , the footsteps  on  the  dried  leaves  on  the  pavement  a music  in tango ...the weather windy , the workplace beckoning ,as there is a job to complete ...day  in  day  out  so is the routine followed  diligently  & religiously ...as  perform  we  must ,albeit temporally  .......

As the transient nature is reminded, as beautiful souls depart , it is as if ,left, will be fond memories , of a person known so very well , so very much  endeared ....

The deep blue , the brite sun and the enchanting island moon simmering over waves a mute testimony to our footsteps & footprints , as I tread on the moon bathed  island sand  , the surf constantly deleting the trail ,as if in consonance & imitating the short & fickle memory.....

So must is the scent of the Earth , so must is the surf , so must is the drizzle , so must is the rustle of the dried fallen leaves , so must ,is the walk on the moon bathed island sand , as there wont be any regrets as you reunite finally with the  elements ,bidding farewell finally......Rest in Peace The Nightingale Queen....



A Sea & Lord Hanuman in between .....

  Shubho NaboBorsho greetings  to  all !!! There  is  festivity  in  the  air  ...the  brisk  walk  back to home  post  Clinic tells it all....
