Contrail

As a kid, every afternoon, looking up at the hige blobs of white in the sky, I used to think.. Cotton.. And in this book the view from space of the clouds, still they look the same.. Cotton.

Bassinet is such a short time stage, a couple of months. So it seems like a pack n playard with bassinet will just be fine for the job. But Summer Infant Soothe and Sleep Bassinet is too adorable to begin with. When I held the motor it seemed like it had a jiggly thing in it. later I realised this is how the soother gets its mojo of gently rocking and vibrating the bassinet. And along with it are soothing classical music, gurgling water, bird sounds and womb sounds (reminds me of ultra sound). The canopy doesnt hold well in place.

Housewarming Gift

My wife's boss brought us candles for housewarming and said that in it is Korean tradition to present something that burns.
My husband then added that in Indian tradition, a father should not gift his daughter anything related to fire, for marriage.
In Korean, if you are married, it means you met your spouse 10000 ties, in previous life?

Bridges

Two Silly goats
on a narrow bridge

A child's excitement
being on a train on
Prakasam Barrage
from a lesson in primary school

A child's fear on a picnic at
Manjeera bridge that is a dam

A single rope in
River rope crossing

The bridges we await
driving in cars - Hoover

A bridge connecting the
South rim and North rim
of GrandCanyon
that the squirrels on either
side havent found
and thus live on an island
unto itself

A landscape bridge
where need not be

Hurricane Vase

Today I looked at a Hurricane Vase

and wondered why there are referred to so.

Dictionary showed a hurricane lamp similar to the vase.

Portrait of a Superman

On a red velvet sheet
a man's head in pencil
is pasted

and where his arm should be
is a reptile in pencil on white
its tail being his palm side
of the hand

Two disjoint images
a head and a reptile
make a Superman's
side profile
with his power
suffusing the whole
red sheet

Make your Mark

Finding your purpose

oboe

A dream
I am in a boat
Its called oboe
when I called it so
somone corrected me
Its pronounced aboe
not o boe

Envelope messaging

In a Full Face Window Envelope

with a sheet of wallet pics of

my daughter

When I held the transparent side at

an angle

a reflection of the pictures facing the envelope

Bubble finger

Suddenly a quarter of the room
had soap bubbles
With so many in the air
I became a child
like all the other twos
I held my finger tips so
the bubbles would stick

Once that achieved
I tried transferring it
to other kids, but
the bubbles didnt survive

Then came stacking the bubbles
one on another
I counted till ten.

A microwave that fans by itself

The microwave mus have felt hot
It began whirring by itself
we could do nothing to switch it off
10 min later it went off

Europe has Class B requirement
where code needs to be checked
so that your appliances dont turn
Malicious

But getting some air
has it ever been malicious
