O' my Valentine

SHAKING!!!

Reminiscence of a hand shake I got on last Christmas night is still making waves in ma heart. We do shake hands when we meet someone. But the hand shake I talk about is not the usual one. It is different, different enough to make long lasting effect in ma mind. Why it is long lasting? Am I out of LOC now? Is it going towards another 397…? No idea about the future. What I know is, it was something lovable for me.

Finally ma bro is with me… he is on a two days leave from his training. I’m pretty happy to see him after a Christmas which marked his absence. We, mom and me, prepared a fine dinner for him and had dinner together after a period of almost three months.

These days my mind is always thinking about my financial status. It leads ma mind to some conclusions about this world. We heard the word ‘change’ more than usual during last president’s election of US. It was from the ‘buildup messiah of change’ by name, Mr. Obama. Our world is changed or in other words turned to a commercial space, now we can call it a ‘Market’, where you needs a big pocket even for your basic necessities. The call of bus owners to hike the bus charge is the very recent example. World is almost full of fake smiles and men with masks on their face. Nowadays cash is the real messiah. You need it to survive. Yes life is all about survival. I am surviving now.

Eight days ago we welcomed the New Year. Fresh start, but think it’s not gonna be easy breezy like last time. It’s going to be a challenging one. I already prepared for that, done couple of changes in my priorities, it is not going perfect but better. I’m happy for that. After the attack of fever in the December `09 I actually relaxed bit. But now am engaged, have couple of responsible roles to perform at different levels such as youth movement at my parish and for the film festival at Aluva. Also am looking upon my profession. Need to prepare hard, gulping all those stuffs learned during last two years, to face the world after completing social work training on this May.

O’ how can I forget to tell about the talk I listened to, last day? It was during the inauguration of our association of Social work students (SWAS) at campus. Talk was by Mr. Civic Chandran, who put forward the real facts about our society. It was an interesting one. He talked about the importance of social work profession in social activism like the movements at Atirapilly, Marayoor, Chengara et cetera. He also had his words on moral policing in Kerala, role of youth today and about the empowerment issues. BTW ma last days passed away and now it’s the time for me to gave ma physical part some rest, so that I can wake up tomorrow with more energy. O’ god, pls keep me under your wings. Bah bye….
