Floors - Strong Indeed to hold your memories




“I did not fall. The floor just needed a hug” - Anonymous


Have you ever imagined what your floors thought about you and your family? Floors have ears. Oh, I don’t mean to get spooky. We have heard about walls though the literal meaning we haven’t gathered a bit to think about. But what if it is true or provides something to mull.
Floors are constructed to provide a base and structure to the buildings or any rooms. This is a definition which we have stuck to till date. For me it is beyond that. Floors are not mere constructions but it weighs your emotions and feelings. Every family lives and goes and leaves some of their parts or memories which floors grabs and gets it into it. The happy or sad memories show I n the way the floors look. Some of them are cracked. It means the memories were so happy and mirthful that after the family leaves, the floors have cried and have jumped into sadness. Some are very clean. This too has an explanation. It means the person staying was not a sharing sort and kept all things to himself that the floors did not get any hint of his emotions or feelings.  
As we think that our house has something to say about us or the family that has stayed, floors do have its own explanations and briefs to give about the concerned persons.
Each tile is not only measured with the feet but also with the emotions and stories that has been weighed on it.

PURPLE HIBISCUS – The fragrance of Hope and Freedom will be etched in your hearts forever

“I wanted to tell Mama that it did feel different to be back, that our living room had too much empty space, too much wasted marble floor that gleamed from Sisi’s polishing and housed nothing. Our celing was too high. Our furniture was lifeless: the glass tables did not shed twisted skin in the harmattan, the leather sofas’ greeting was a clammy coldness, and the Persian rugs were too lush to have any feeling. But I said, “You polished the etagere.” " The above text appears when Jaja and Kambili return from Nsukku, their Aunty Ifeoma’s house, and witness their place as dull and lacking warmth even though the house glistened like a palace. The warmth that Aunty Ifeoma’s house had carried during the days they spent despite having a nondescript house and where they prayed every day for Peace and Laughter. Laughter among all the things. Because Laughter was valued in their house everyday despite living with shortcomings something that Kambili hardly got to experience in own h

Positivity in Tee: Reading between the Errands

  You cannot run from positive affirmations even if you think you have run out of them.   They will come, looking for you. All you have to do is keep your eyes wide open and graciously receive them with warmth and care. They can come to you at any moment and from any quarter perhaps, while running errands like when the momentum has picked up in you to array the disarray in your child’s wardrobe. When that happens, you treat them as a little note, an epiphany or a sacred sign from the universe and insert them as a key that locks itself into your mind with an audible click, only to unlock a change in you and get reflected in every journey you embark. When your little one’s Tees mouth affirmations, you cannot just run away without glancing at it. Start small, dream big, repeat – Starting small and repeating them with consistency is so underrated these days. So much of today’s world is rooted in instant gratifications and making it big in a wink of time. Small, incremental progress is th

AN EROTIC LOVE STORY

How can I live without you? I have my soul stirring for you. My breathe trusts you. The every sip of you I take, I gain my years. One fine day, the heat waves hit me. When the body sweat gave me shiver down my spine and tinkled me, I could just remember you. I smiled, enjoyed and felt you. When there is heavy pours and when I drench in it, you come in my mind. It is like you are there everywhere. I can feel it.   When I feel like biting you, you almost melt on me and I end up drinking you. When I paint some picture, you come to my mind. Suddenly, my hands urge to dip in you, touch you and brush you everywhere. Tsunami brings back to the memories of your anger. When you are in that state, you drink me. That sinking feeling is special. When I am on a shower, you come and hug me tightly. My heart races up. I get the feeling that you have almost reached me. I could see that as you touch me, you take the roads untraveled and reach almost everywhere. I am b
