Dear Boy!

Happy Birthday dear one. Hope you have an amazing year, with it being your last 'teenage' year. How time flies. I hope I get to see you sometime and hope you have that kindness in your eyes you had as a child. As the child who start crying because I did. As the child who did his homework because I did mine. As a child who promptly stood at the wall where we measured his height, every few months he visited. I believe in fate. I believe in destiny. We were destined to meet. But fate had it that we never stayed close. Just like most other familial bonds in my life. So while it does pull a few heartstrings, it does not leave me bitter. You can never do. You will be the first born of the house (even though a boy-child). You will be that kid I played with after coming home from school. The kid who brought only smiles for the longest time. I hope you do not remember any bitter memories of your childhood and grow up to be a wonderful human being. Even if I just watch from afar. Tha...

ख़त

I used to listen to ghazals much more while at home. Not intentionally, but I don't listen to them as often anymore. They make me sad for several reasons even though they are beautiful. This particular one I like a lot because it is about letters. Easily my favourite form of communication after probably (or at times maybe even more than) talking face to face. I miss some old Ghazal voices.

우리 지순이

난 지순 언니를 보고 싶을거야 집에 잘 갔다 와 언니 언니는 친구 참 많는것이 아는데 언니 같은 친구 한두명 밖에 없어 나랑 친구 된 거 고맙고 항상 사랑해

Ear full

Can someone find me ALL the earrings Rekha wears in Silsila? Sigh, materialistic wants. I don't even need those earrings, I probably have at least 300 pairs, no I am not joking. Although I probably spent maybe a maximum of 500 rupees on all the ones I ever bought for myself. Rest were gifts from people who know just how much I love earrings. I do love bangles as much as I love earrings but just cannot wear them as often so I don't 'crave' for them like I do earrings. When I first came to this country, I would get stares for wearing big earrings but of course, that did not stop me, I wore and wear them according to my mood. The nice thing, however, is that a lot of people have started wearing relative big earrings around these parts. Earrings :)
