One Small Wish

All I want to do right now, is sit under my desk and read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Am hooked.

Wind through my hair again

The weather has taken a fabulous U-turn and become glorious.

I'd forgotten the profound joy of being under an open sky at night, and having a strong wind blow through my hair.

Felt weird when I thought about it. Just shows I need to get away from office more often and be out more.

PS- I guess I like the rains here more than the rains in Bombay. The only thing I missed about the Bombay monsoon was the arrival of rains with thunderstorms and lightening. It's electric and magical.

Rockstar baby

In Bombay again, at Mel's. After two intense days of sight-showing in the humid, heat of Bombay in May (no idea why we're doing it.)

It's 2:00 am. The Clash is playing. Rock the casbah.

Kabir, Mel's 4 month old son is asleep in the next room. We spent an hour admiring him, before he was allowed to move to mommy's arms and then to sleep. And a minute ago, I was watching him sleep and I thought to myself - here's a kid who's got it all sorted out. He's so happy and content and chilled out. He knows that right now, all he needs to do is sleep and eat - so that he can grow quick, and that's exactly what he's doing. Not screaming and crying. Sleeping. The rockstar in him.
