Nirbhara Sundhari

Mothers can't bear to see their daughters 'unadorned'. Their ears and necks and wrists must shine. Now I know women/babies are magpies and like shiny things, but gold is a little too much.
Anyway my mother being no different gave me her gold to wear for Kamal and Tunak's wedding and I lost it.All of it. Yes. Just like that.
So.
I figured it's gold, replaceable,etc. She seemed to think otherwise. She stopped talking to me and trying to get me to eat [they also can't bear to see their daughters skinny, it seems], until the next day when she forgot that she wasn't talking to me and wanted to know if I had eaten and all. Then she suddenly remembered again, that she wasn't talking to me but it was too late.
So.
My Mum is Super.
I wonder if the fact that everytime she started to say something about lost gold and irresponsibility, I would hold my head in my hands and start wailing, 'Twenty years! Next twenty years I'm going to hear about it', had anything to do with it.

Mouth shut.
Mind open.

That boy

That boy who ran down the mountain with his arms stretched out on either side of him.

I loved Hyderabad. Even if only for the kites.

I should have closed my eyes

I wish she never had to see her world through my eyes.
My most favourite thing in the whole world.
Hot water bath.

Sepia



Horn ok please

Sunil Chandy was grooving. He was at a Lounge Piranha rehearsal watching Rohan intently, picking up all the bass parts he would have to play in place of Rohan in the coming weeks. At the moment Rohan was on fire,stretching his bass playing abilities to their limits. Everyone was impressed. "Now where'd you learn to slap and pop like that young man? Just curious...", asked Sunil. "From you Sunil. From watching you day and night for three years", Rohan replied bowing respectfully. "Is that right? And what have I gotten for everything you've learnt from me?", to which Rohan didn't have much of an answer. "Do you not think I deserve guru dakshina?", Sunil persisted. "Of course you do", Rohan replied."Well how 'bout that very talented right thumb of yours. Do you not think that would be fitting?". Without a moment's hesitation Rohan chopped off his thumb, went down on one knee and presented it to him .And pocketing it with a satisfied smile, Sunil turned around to face a very shocked rest-of-Lounge-Piranha and said, "Come on band let's rehearse"

I decided
not to define relationships
but to let them instead
define themselves.
