I don't know why i'm writing this post. I'm not even jobless. And i had told myself that i wasn't going to post for sometime... but i hate it when blogs are dead, even though thats temporary. Anyway... this post is quite personal.
Anyone who saw the album i'd sent through yahoo photos would have noticed this kid...called Tina. Shez there in most of the pics. I've seen her since she was 6months old...wow. Now... she's 11 i think. This usually happens with siblings...but she's not my sibling. Yet, there's something about her. When i talk to her, i become her age. And her parents and mine were making fun of us... about her thinking i'm her age, and me behaving that way... but there's some pleasure... in making her juice when she comes from school... or frying her samosas...playing pillow fight with her...and watching some kid movie called 'cat in the hat' which she insists rocks...LOL. Its funny...never felt like spending time with any kid ever before...I watched harry potter with her today (my 3rd time, her 1st). Just both of us and one huge bucket of popcorn in an empty theatre... it was wow. I don't even know why i'm saying this. And this...is the the first post i'm writing with reference to a person. Damn.
Another thing... my mom left chennai on august 30th,2005. And...her birthday's on 1st sept. I wanted to do something desperately... i bought her a saree (dragging nidhee along), wrapped it...waited for her to sleep. And then, opened her suticase...and slipped it in. She was to leave the following morning. There's some excitement in doing such things you know...secretly. I smiled like hell when she told me how surprised she was and how she was dying to open it ( i told her she couldn't open it till 1st n she actually stuck to that!) When i reached here,i was pushing my trolley and i saw her. I didn't see her face...i saw the saree she was wearing. It was the one i'd given her. Even though i'd expected it...i still couldn't believe she wore it... and i couldn't stop smiling for a very long time. Mothers i tell you...No, i cant tell you. Describing with words would be impossible...would be injustice...and would make me go hay wire. Hence, i stop.
Thus... to the 2 people in nairobi i dedicate this post to...or is it the 2 people in my life? To Tina... and to my mom. God bless you...
Signing off...
