Just...


8:00am | Quilt
Damn! I’m late. I virtually start everyday reminding myself as I open my eyes and then quickly calculate the train which I may get- virtually. Today I managed to separate my virtual calculations and came back to real life calculations and trust me I suck at math. So, I missed my virtually calculated train and waited for a body smashing train at Bhayandar station. With extreme jealously and the thought to be lady just to get into the empty ladies special stalled on the adjacent platform I seen my train rushing towards the platform. Hold your breath boys, I said to myself as if I was on a Spartan battle. Well, isn’t it almost the same. After a bit of idhar dhakka-udhar dhakka, I managed to settle down in the train. Ironically, I was also listening to a track from a band called Train. It goes like- Hey, Soul Sisters with a sweet guitar strum.

9:30 am | Andheri station
Platform par aaney wali…, that’s all I heard and quickly got my hands-free plugged back into my ears. Armin kept playing Going Wrong in my ears, but my head was curious for the BST bus line. Last morning was a challenge to travel by the bus. By the mercy of GOD, I managed to get a seat, but the traffic dragging the bus was not quite a ride to remember. Today was no different. Not in terms of traffic, but in terms of the bus waiting line. It could challenge the length of the 12-coach train I just stepped out from. As Josilia’s dad says- Bus no 11, it was time to take the same- Walk. The walk though not an experience I was desperate for, but it made me feel lucky that I was gifted with the ability to walk to my work place.

12:20 pm | Awaiting work
After a good walk and some Misal bread [Pav katam ho gaya tha] I’m now listening to some good bangla and Planetshakers and waiting for a document from review. So, I thought to post today’s day on my blog. Why? Well, just! 

When HE spoke...


I met the LORD the other day, I didn’t know what to say,
HE said, “Peace be with you.” [John 20:21]

I said, “LORD I pray every time, but YOU never answer.”
HE said, “You of little faith why did you doubt?” [Matthew 14:30]

I said, “LORD there are so many things I’ve to do in life, I’m so burdened.”
HE said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” [Matthew 11:28]

I said, “LORD I try hard to achieve things and sometimes even skip my meals, but I never succeed.”
HE said, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” [Matthew 6:33]

I said, “LORD take me with YOU, there are so many troubles in this world.”
HE said, “In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” [John 16:33]

I said, “LORD I’m a sinner, I do not deserve YOU.”
HE said, “For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” [Matthew 9:12]

I said, “LORD, I feel better and much light now.”
I didn’t see HIM around now, but I knew- By HIS stripes we are healed. [Isaiah 53:5]
