Holding Hands

Holding hands

It is a gesture of possession and protection.
It is a gesture of ownership and intimacy.

It is a commitment and a bond.
It is a declaration and an assimilation.

To hold a hand is to give love.
To hold a hand is to give care.

To hold a hand is to help.
To hold a hand is to support.

To hold a hand is to anchor oneself.
To hold a hand is to find security.

To hold a hand is to be a part of someone's life
To hold a hand is to make someone special.

To hold a baby's hand is to be a raft amidst an ocean.
To hold a gnarled and wrinkled hand is to be a shield.

To hold a friend's hand is to show the joy in being together.
To hold a lover's hand is to show that we belong.

To submit to a warm clasp is to come home.
To intertwine fingers is to submit yourself.

To find different ways to hold hands is sublime.
To hold hands each day is divine.

To find different hands to hold is wonderful.
To find a hand to hold onto forever is Nirvana.

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
