Tuesday Ritual

Since time immemorial my mom and I've had a sort of a ritual of visiting the temple every Tuesday. I don't know wheather its our way of saying that we are still spiritual in the race of modern life or a way to seek solace and strength for a brief moment, to become strong enough to face what lies beyond those walls. But there is one particular sight that I've never been courageous enough to face- that is the spectacle of seeing so many underpriveledged children lined outside the temple, looking at every person passing by with hopeful eyes, pleading with them to drop a morsel of food from the huge packet that they carry in the name of ' prasad' so that may be tonight they wouldnt have to sleep hungry. One thing that always amazes me about them is that despite the fact that a lot of them are not even sure whether or not they will manage to get a meal tonight or not, don't have a roof over their head but they still manage to do something that even we don't- smi

Let the darkness of the night hide us from the world Let the light of the moon illuminate whats our own. Let this lifetime last till eternity Let this magic stay forever. Let me love you till my last breath Let me thank you for being my saviour.

Then my haven broke It all came crashing down The silver linings melted away into shadows And there was just me, left bare. The days pass by Life moves on I no longer sing when it rains But use it to hide my tears and my pain To smile, i no longer know how To live is a task The joy of it long gone.
