My Acoustic Life

`For years now, I have been trying to understand the acoustics of my life`



 "Come on lad ..how long would you stay curled in your blankets? How could you want to miss the new year's firework show"

 - Let me sleep Dad I don't want to go anywhere.

"its been almost a week that you haven't seen the daylight.At least start the new year with sparkling reflections"

 -Reflections are perhaps an illusion of the reality Dad.

"There are no illusions son", he said smiling

 - perhaps you are Dad! , you have been troubling me since one week.

Dad being dad persuaded me to climb the cliff.
and then when I reached there, the starlight greeted me.
we both lied down in the pasture as the clock ticked closer and closer to 12. I spoke my heart to him about how strongly I miss him. I told him about the depression which mom went through in his absence.
The finance started to shatter and the bank was on the verge of confiscating the house.I too have been in depression ever since and that's the reason why I don't want to step in the next year, at least not rejoicing in it!
Though he was gazing the sky, he heard every syllable coming from my mouth.Every utterance was evidently speaking of my pain. If it wasn't for GOD we wouldn't be here.He held my hand and said
"You see that star son? Ever wondered how far is it from us? "

 - Let me guess..light years? don't know! Do you have any estimation?

"Hehe, Ever wondered how the wise men found Jesus? They saw a star leading to the place where Jesus was. It is amazing how a little source of light which is so distant could provide directions rather than illuminating the path. This is called Hope. 
In our lives too, GOD sends these tiny sources of hope that are meant for providing us directions and not illuminating the path.We gotta trust him and walk. This year is a start for you. GOD may not have illuminated the whole year and that's certainly because he does not want you to know all the plans at once. As the star only Guides, this year is just a hope providing you with a direction to go in"

 (John 13:7 Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.")

That made me realise that his absence was also a plan that GOD has in my life. He wants me to trust him.
The clock ticked 12 and the fireworks stretched across the sky.
I kept the flowers on his grave and stood smiling there with dewy eyes as the sparkles reflected in them.
Certainly, Dad, there are No illusions!

some of us have stepped in 2018 with no proper plans and objective and definitely with no enthusiasm. This year is a new hope for us to head in and walk and trust GOD to illuminate the path as we walk with him. GOD bless you.

My Omnipresent God

It was Sunday morning as I paced up through the corridor of my house ,holding my guitar and trying to keep my untied shoe lace from getting tangled. "How come I got up late! Why did I consent the nap to have my time." As I walked through the road, I started pondering on my behaviour. I mean how could I...its not about today...but from past few Sundays am allowing my sleep to have extra time and I end up being late at the church! Its my responsibility to lead the choir! When the pastor preaches the sermon ,I get distracted and start wandering in my thoughts and I don't even bother to shift my attention back! I resent this behaviour of mine! " I came from the church not as happy and satisfied as I would come back when I started knowing God deeply! I was going through a lot..i don't know what was wrong with me ! Was I missing someone? Huh... I started worrying when a drop of tear filled my eyes . And the fact is I did not know why was I crying. I ended up ...

THE TREE HOUSE

                                  He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he causes me to stand on the heights.       Psalm 18:33                         “John was standing dormant staring at the cemetery where his vital fragment of life lied buried deep inside the ground. Just then a raindrop dripped across his cheeks and his consciousness startled” It was yet another sunny day as days were approaching the end of the month, and john was keen to know about the puzzle game that his beloved father would bring. John was a fun loving and mischievous, yet an obedient son of his father. John would await for days to take a leap and jump to the end of the month so as to get a new puzzle game from his dad. He loved the puzzle game immensely. He loved to put the fragments of the puzzle together so as to see what would...

A peek through the window

God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time. Ecclesiastes 3:11 It had been 2 years since Reena had met her mom.It was never easy for her to stay so distant from her. She had her college,part time job in the city. She used to travel once every year to meet her mom. But she missed the previous year as she had to prepare for her competitive exams. Life was a huge toil on her! Since her father's death ,her mother and she had been desolated by their relatives. But by the Grace of God they managed to survive in this self centered world. Reena was not satisfied with Life. She used to think that life should be all about happiness! She wished her dad could be alive . Our family must have lived to our fullest was her thinking. So she boarded the train in the evening. By the time she got herself comfortable it was night.She was sitting beside a window. She could see the ground green grass blending with the moons greyish shade.As the train moved ,so did the scenery outside...
