Simran Kadam

sun dipping behind trees,

soothing woods- all mysterious and lovely,

a June full of promises,

fading slowly like a dream so vivid...

~ by Simran

the winters were warmer,

the days when my grandparents covered up all my mischiefs,

never scolded me for bringing those stray cats from the street,

before crossing the road they held my hand tight,

always kept the last piece of cake for me and made me smile,

O, take me back to those days of pure delight,

when the moon felt a little closer &

the winters were warmer...

New Beginnings.

At times I feel besotted with you, but some ghosts keep knocking on my fairy tale door, and I have to remind myself you too are no more.

// pages of my diary

I just came across a book called Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master by Sri M where Sri M shares his adventures and journey with a real yogi and one of the chapters from this book baffled me.

It's when Sri M and yogi were in the Arundhati caves (located in India) and encountered a divine being from another galaxy. It happens to be an enormous blue cobra – the deputy chief of Sarpa Loka, who had arrived to meet the yogi to settle some kind of dispute. The yogi reveals that thousands of years ago, wise and evolved Nagas (the serpents) spent a long time on Earth educating humans about the secret of Kundalini energy. But when humans became more powerful, they threatened these intelligent and superior Nagas. So the Nagas decide to leave and transport themselves back to the Sarpa loka. However, a few of them wanted to stay, for they saw something good in humans whom we now see as snakes having no power like their ancestors.

Idk to which extent this is true. It also reminds me of parapsychology – a scientific study on spirituality, psychic human experiences, alien experiences, etc. It's a different topic which can be discussed separately.

I rmr an incident of years before when I had a male cat who looked exactly like cookie (my another male cat). He was v v dear to me, so much that I was continuously crying for 1 week after he passed away and even missed my 10th send off. So the thing happened was, the door of our home was open and nobody knew it. We all r busy doing our own thing. We were living on the 5th floor and God knows when my cat sneaked out, ACTUALLY CLIMBED THE STAIRS till the 7th floor and went to someone else's house. The lady living there knew us so she brought him back to us. She told that this lil cutie was nicely sitting on her sofa and till date I don't believe this. I'm like HOW? At first I thought she must have grabbed him away or something 'cause she was a pet lover too but knowing her she would never do that. It's bizarre tbh. As if he chose to go there...
