.a written note.

Reading your own old writings could be so relaxing. It’s like you’re having a conversation with yourself. **As I come out of the shower, I see my granny sitting outside and actually enjoying the hot air specially after a cold Indian night, knitting a purple sweater, probably to gift someone. The way her wet shiny white hair form a coordination with one another, letting the fresh air dry it. The way she knits without her spectacles on. The way that Purple coloured something seems to be forming a new big shape every two minutes, having started from just a woolen thread and now turning into a cloth. A cloth that’ll provide someone with warmth and her love in cold, inspires me. Despite everything.** I read this prose as I go through my old writings. Automatically, my mind compared my granny back then and now. I miss her. She’s been one strong pillar in our lives, my life.

Summer afternoons are at times tough. They’re usually filled with idle sittings in your bedroom and if something really strikes your mind, a little bit of artwork.

When will I recover from this longing that takes me to a third world which I never thought existed.. I am by now quite comfortable staying here in this in between road leading me towards God knows where. It must be your place, your own universe it is, in fact, yours. I know it now. Turning back is too harsh and unfathomable to this soul, for it’s always always wanted to reach here, feel the warmth of this playground to the heart, this presence of yours, up and above the rest of the world. And do you know honey? I no longer want to recover.
