Bonding

Tonight, I dressed up mommy for a wedding and she felt beautiful. She was so excited when I told her that I would do her makeup and style her sari that I just couldn't let her down. She looked radiant and graceful. I love her and that makes us two just happy people in the world.

surprise surprise!

I opened the door and was greeted by my adorable aunts, who were waiting for me patiently all the while. There was Minto who rushed into my arms whining, kissing and speaking to me all at the same time. I missed him terribly; he is my jaan and praan. Making myself comfortable at home, I unpack my suitcase of all the goodies inside. I enter my bedroom and find a pretty sight that filled me with delightful surprise. Delicate pink and white carnations and roses were beautifully decorated on the bedside and nicely wrapped gifts were laying on bed waiting to be opened. It was perfect, the moment of baby-eyed wonder. And then I thought to myself "what a wonderful world..."

P.S: Truly, the moral underpinning is life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans.

Just breathe and catch the next flight home. Get swarmed with love and be grateful. Let go of this life and feel free. This is the way the world is meant to be.

The deluge has begun, with heaven's wet embrace. The clouds are heavy with rain, talking in their thunderous sound. The earth is flooded, with the solitary snail struggling to make its way to higher ground. The trees are breathing with life, fresh with new foliage. The dogs and cats are crouched in little corners waiting for it all to end. And then there is humanity counting the costs of it all.

RIP

MJ died on my birthday. Cause for celebration?
