Back Home Blues

Feels good to be back…!!

The swaying of the train hasn’t left me yet…and my eyelids can not resist the gravity anymore…i have a zillion tabs open in chrome…and ps cs3 (havto get 4)…and word...and nero all at once…

Time must have flown for my poor old pc with a 1 GB RAM…just a few more days, love...only till i get my shiny pink dell…AGAIN…shiny PINK dell…heehaw!

The kaajer mashis aren’t here yet…
The world around is stretching and yawning…synchronized with the green, humid weather!!...waiting for mum and her characteristic T-rex shriek that’d jerk them back to bright white wakedom…

Welcome home me… :)
With some godawful paneer and chicken…
Behind food that sucks even after u have survived the Maharashtrian, oniony, super spiced, thick, mucky, yucky, gravy thing that they serve with everything for 8 days..there is a cook who needs to be fired...

Dada peers into my purple sun burnt face…
‘Have you lost weight?’…*soaring heart*… ‘Naah’ and he walks away..

Crumbled. Grumbled.

Piles of laundry everywhere…the place looks like Howrah station at rush hour…the rooms could have inspired the Rat-a-tat-tat illustrations…

Dogs…fishing rods…turnips…red and white striped socks ….stray toads…watering cans..a blue letter box with a boot tacked on it…spades..fire crackers and porridge cauldrons...

I’m pretty sure that they are all in there….somewhere..

4 days to go before college starts… too much to do…too little time…

Mera Bharat Bandh Mahan btw!!

The peacocks must have started their evening-calling ritual by now in the marsh… the red-black earth must be radiating a soft sunset warmth…

I know exactly what the forest smells like right now…

And how the swing in the porch is moving imperceptibly with story book creaks…

And how waaaayy up into the mountains the caves are growing darker..till the paintings vanish into the rocks…and go to sleep with the melancholia of three thousand long years…

And the flutter of the saffron robes...and chants echo through the cliffs…

And it still feels good to be back.
