I Miss My Table Calendar

-

 








Tuesday -- Mixed sunny cloudy morning of late October. It is 10.30, I am just done with my breakfast. It is 2 C, cold day. I popped out of my Patio door to have a feel of the breeze. Walked on my deck for couple of minutes. Trees look quite, I think they are planning for the days to come. They know next month will be tough. Snow will be here any time soon. 

Some of the trees look composed and relaxed. No worries, ready to face whatever will be there. I think they believe to enjoy the moments in hand. Don't want to spoil their todays. They realize that the Recipe to lead a happy life is to live in the moment.

It is beautiful here in my back garden. Trees keep on showering Gold, Copper, Bronze and Coffee leaves on the green of my lawn. Black Squirrel is enjoying his morning snacks near the newly built wooden fence. What an atmosphere of peace and harmony around. Staying here is like time to gather the treasure moments, moments of tranquility, imparts the deep down peace and meditation.  

It is 11.15, I am in my room. I was late to start my day today. Last night my sleep was disturbed. This is sort of saga of our age. We don't have to worry about. Have to ignore and move on. I checked my table calendar. I have to wash my hair and have to do my laundry too.

Looking at my table calendar, I started thinking that, this small object has a very special place in my life. All my day plans depend on this. It manages my day to day working, directs me to do things on certain dates. Organizes and over sees all my plans.

My son use to get this table calendar for me for years from his office. This year because of Covid situation, people are working from home. I wont get my calendar this year. It used to be like an integral part of my life. Even during my travel period, I used to stuck this in my trolley. I will miss it. 

We never give value to the things, we have. We realize all that when it is taken away. Same is time. Value the moments in your hand before these are taken away and turned into your past. Past, we can not turn the page back. Whatever is gone is gone.


Dear Retirees I hope things are now settled down at your end. No Indian Anthem. No Indian people dominance. No political figures pictures. Hijab Lady and her Temple friends must now be relaxed. Everyone having good time. Reading Sessions are out of Religions and Politics. You will be writing comments like before. Everyone please show patience and tolerance. Thanks.

Dear reader was doing 2 Jobs. I hope you got your Job back. Listening to my friend the Supervisor. Not talking back and focusing on your work. 

Dear "N" I hope you still reading my Blogs. Love you.

I wish all my Dear Readers to have a great time.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
