Summer of 2020

This summer break with cook and maid unable to come, my work was cut out for me. Cooking I love to do so it was not such a challenge but what became painfully clear was the dish washing. Daily washing the dishes slowly taught me patience. It became a kind of meditation, listening to music and washing dishes became a ritual.

The other challenge when you cannot leave home due to the pandemic was to keep my productivity high. I use social media as a way to motivate me to keep working on new projects. I spent a lot of time:

• Cooking
• Meditation
• Yoga
• Story Telling (34 stories till date in YouTube)
• Online Content Creation (Excel and Programming Videos)
• Writing Poetry

But I am also guilty of spending a lot of time clicking pics and posting on Instagram and Facebook.

With the void in theatre, i was unable to act on stage. I was doing an online course on Coursera on Finding a Deeper and Long Term purpose. When an idea struck what if I take my love for storytelling online. These were stories I told my own children and my nephew nieces. Stories I used to tell in my catechism class. So I started by doing a series of 21 stories for children and slowly I got a few children regularly watching the stories. That got me motivated and till date have done around 34 stories in 3 sets.

Poetry has been going on for the last 5 years and this year has not been very different. I clocked around 4-5 poems a week.

Classes start next week. No travels , no workshops this summer but overall I am happy with the fun I had.

Sunil & Alka

A family I have

In a country far away

An Elder Brother and Bhabhi

In whose care I did stay

The ginger tea

And Bhabhi's advise

Sunil's outlook

So practical and wise

They taught me little things

I still use till this day

How to live in the now

Spreading joy in their own way

Tandoori Chicken, Rajma

that Bhabhi did teach

How to run a family

With a magical ease

How to treats kids

With love and respect

To live in the now

From sunrise to sunset

Sunil's shopping style

Of reading the labels

His observations of life

From fruits to train timetables

Our conversations

Without exchange of words

Crossword, Badminton

And navigating the London roads

A thousand miles

And 16 years away

I still can't forget

My Hounslow days

Papa's Final Journey

Finding difficulty to breathe

Impossible to hold back tears

This vacuum cannot be filled by air

As my Papa had no peers

A man ahead of his times

Whether raising daughters

Or in matters of relationships

How severe the storm

He considered God

his anchor and ship

My Papa was full of ideas

He could anytime break into a song

He could carry all ten of us

His shoulder and mind was strong

When people around saw complex

Simplicity was his thing

He saw miracles in nature and

Positivity was his wand and wing

Each one saw him differently

Everyone perceived him as unique

as an e.g of strength of character

My Father, a lighthouse we seek

I saw all ten break into tears

I saw his siblings by his side

I saw his friends and family

With him on this final ride

What is a life well lived?

The example for all to see

Our Father is etched in our hearts

From now to eternity

Finding difficulty to breathe

Impossible to hold back tears ......

Mary Chakunny Puthur

An aunt who is a globe trotter

and an inspiration to my gen

She is also a time traveller

with stories of now and then

She has frozen time on paper,

old coins and collected stones

She understand humans

How they feel in their bones

She has done a lot of good

Being there for everyone

praying for their health

Unlike any under the sun

In height she may be short

But she does pack a punch

She can work more than anyone

she is superhuman is my hunch

Even though she is single

She is like a mother to us

Unconditional love

No tantrums, no fuss

Being their at time of birth

praying at times of illness

Consoling when a soul departs

a nurse at time of sickness

An ideal daughter!

Who got Scotch for her dad

Helped mom in the kitchen

And all the siblings she had

She walks with Jesus

And is on a spiritual quest

Hear her words of wisdom

on life, on solitude, on zest

Never complaining, always smiling

that is her signature style

She is a model Christian

Who always goes the extra mile
