Retrouvailles

In the days of the sun
And the nights during the moons
On the roads with the clouds
And in the sheds of the skies' shrouds
Air and Water breathed
Of memories and moments...
That are, in rare silk of time, wreathed.

물방울: Waterdrops

어느 비오는 날...
풀잎은 물 몇 방울을
기다리던 그 여름날을
간절한 눈으로 추억했다.

이제 비가 온다...계속 내린다.
빗물이 부족하지 않다.
풀잎은 여전히...
그 몇 물방울 그리워한다. 

=============================================
Meaningful English Translation:

One rainy day..
The blades of grass reminisced
that day in summer
when they waited
for a few drops of water with eager eyes.

Now it rains...it continues to rain.
And there's no shortage/insufficiency of water.
The blades of grass still
yearn for those few drops of water.

Single Digit To Nine Digits

So... there's this special day. A day about which no one was aware. Of course, the people who were in her proximity were exceptions to that arrangement. Among them, only a few (just a handful: in single digit, to be exact) would remember about it.

She liked this configuration. In fact, that is how she preferred it to be. She has her reasons and trying to understand it could fry some brain circuitry. So, we will just let it be like that. But let's just say, her only goal has always been to maximize an index she loved the most, especially on this special day. 

It has always been like that, until this year.

This year, at least a 100 million people across the globe would be celebrating on her special day. They would be celebrating something else, which she would be too, but those celebrations will happen on her special day. And she would have two events to celebrate. 

She could still celebrate the day by herself without being bombarded with unrequisite formalities (of wishing or congratulatory texts), that more often than not, are just obligations. Additionally, while ensuring her peace of mind, there would also be a 100 million (nine digits) people who would feel and experience happiness, an index she has always wished to maximize. 

When a 100 million people are happy and celebrating on your special day (even if it is for something else), what more could you ask for!?

About Me

As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
