An Apple's worth

Just another day; driving like a programmed machine, eyes on the road, hands behind the wheels.     

Brain multitasking; meetings and presentations planned for the day constantly preempting all else with a free will.

All this while limbic system sending interrupts about the breakfast I had given amiss.

Just like always; I knew where to see, in times like these my laptop bag turns into a fortune cookie,

This time I find an Apple, not much good for me, without much thought I just push it back in.

As I stopped on the next signal, I saw an old man sitting at edge of the street, he looked very sad and hungry so I gave the Apple to him.   

Gladly he accepted the reward and showered blessings on me, was it summer sun or I saw a tear roll down his cheeks.

It was so humbling, what an Apple’s worth could mean.

Thank you sister

Happy Birthday Brother :)

Maybe it’s by God's grace or it was destined this way,

Happiness came all along its way cos' its my brothers birthday.

When he is around there is nothing to bother, introvert is he says my father,

My mom's food sways his memory away, let him relish fried chicken and burger's today, cos' its my brothers birthday.

His vision is clear, strives to be  perfect in all the ways, be it his weight ;-)

O hear the voices, the whole universe will pray cos its my brothers birthday.
