<\/a><\/p>\n

thoughts from the board room……<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n
For days it has been threatening to rain.
\nOutside the humidity was almost unbearable..
\nour cabins were getting stuffy and dingy..
\nBored brooding over Finance & economics
\nAnd endlessly surfing data “abases’.
\nRaju and myself decided to migrate to the board room,
\nwe were desperately trying to wage an increasingly losing battle with
\nthe typical post lunch slumber,
\nyawning away at each other ,
\ndesperately trying to regain focus playing word games,
\ntrying to make out symbolic shapes in the moisture laden walls….
\nI was lazily thinking about the good old days of yesteryears…
\nI went upto the white board,
\nPulled out the marker from the clutches of the eraser,
\nand started scribbling……
\nWe all yearn for………..<\/strong>
\nThe bubbles of childhood,
\nThe rainbow of dreams,
\nThe colours of the setting sun,
\nThe twinkle in the lover\u2019s eyes,
\nThe fragrance of virgin earth in the fresh rain,
\nThe music of a child\u2019s first words,
\nThe lightness of floating clouds,
\nThe feel of the mountain breeze,
\nThe touch of tender grass on naked feet,
\nThe sweetness of deep well water,
\nThe transparency of the wild brook,
\nThe innocence of a country lass,
\nThe haunt of silent shades,
\nThe serenity of morning dew,
\nThe unfathomed depths of the blue sky,
\nThe silence of moonlit nights<\/strong>,
\n.The pitter patter of rain on palm leaf thatched roofs,<\/strong>
\nThe fresh aroma of tea from the roadside teastall while waiting for<\/strong>
\nthe early morning bus,<\/strong>
\n……………………………………
