Soundari


Today a difficult roomate taught me something.. the value of motherhood.

what does she know, she's not living my life~ isn't that exactly why there's a problem? So many times, mummy, i knw i've thought that and maybe i still do. I know i do. I keep thinking that ur not good enough to even try to understand what I am going through, why i do so much shit behind your back.

but then today, i realized that thinking that is exactly that~ u will never understand what I'm going through if I don't tell you. I can't like 'she' did, expect to book myself a room and wait, for u to find me and ask me wt's wrong.. i need to tell u things more often.. i knw that and probably some day i'll get down to telling u all this..

bt till then.. i just remembered a couple of things. Like turning 18.. it was wit u n chennai.. it wasn't even my b'day, bt that lil trip by the beach in the hot sun.. sand so hot we HAD to walk wit our slippers on, eating steamed channa frm the sidestalls, buying shells collected frm the ocean, figuring out where the hell the malaysian embassy was in the sweltering city and the deceitfull auto man.. i think it was on the 10th of June..

Like in bangalore, when our house was being sued and u n i walked most of the court house looking for lawyers to check our case out, then finding the most useless one ever.. wt did u call him again?

Or in Kumbakonam this time arnd, when i cried abt the blood on the bed.. cz i was so angry that we had to sleep on that.. and u got mad and chucked everything out all arnd the room because u thought i deserved better, u were so angry ma, u were shaking all over... and then u cried too.. i was just mad at you then, now i'm in awe.. cz u have the funniest way of showing that you do give a dam

Or in Bangalore again, when u told Satish na off when he scolded me, because as u said, no one in the world can scold ur children or beat them but u, because u were our mother and u had the right to.

I do love you so much, strange how i never show it, or say it... sometimes i even forget it.. bt i knw i do.. especially when just writing these things down here makes me miss you n cry.. reminds me of when i watched Spanglish and Mansi was amazed to see me cry at the end of the movie.. because of the line.. wt u say wt u do whether u accept me or not (uni) it will not effect me, it will not define me.. because i have been defined by my mother... ur definition is not what i'm looking for.. or something along those lines.. u knw it's true for me too..

When he started his journey, it was the soles of his feet that were in contact with the ground, but now as he pulled himself closer to the station, it was his whole body. His elbows were scraped, bloody and fresh scab peeled bled out to leave a trail of red on the wicked hot dusty ground of pain and suffering. All around him slow moving bodies crawled towards the direction of hope, all along leaving patterns of blood, sweat, skin and pus. These bodies had seen civil wars, droughts, genocide and lived to tell a tale of a people who now belonged to a nation listed as one of the poorest countries in the world. This is now, but before the list, was a struggle of massive proportions, under reported and quietly hidden

The Temple Widow A narrow dirt path, generously peppered with tiny pebbles, tiny miniatures of their gargantuan ancestors, leads to a bridge. It hangs, rickety and old. Old but not well used, old like abandoned and not frequently used. The bridge hangs low over a small stream that slowly gurgles past, happy unlike those that visit the place. The bridge leads to a temple. It is not very big, only perhaps the size of a small hut and at the most the size of an average temple hall. The temple has no deity; the temple has no one corner that doesn’t look like the other. It is clean, well swept, and empty. It has no furniture, and excepting a series of well spaced out windows, the walls remains uninterrupted. She stumbles in, the lady. She is not very tal

All I know is what I know, question my memory if you want to. I don't ask you to remember, I don't ask you to believe. In fact, I'm not asking you for anything at all. It is your choice to be here, to read this. So no, I don't owe you a favor. I happened to chance upon a watch, on one of my travels. Turning the dials of such a watch, could transport you to the past, to the future, to any time. But time, my friend, is not how you think it is. It is not a straight line, and you cannot just by chance hop into the world of dinosaurs and wooden weapons. It is a series of transparencies, like films of clean sheets of paper laid on top of each other. You look from above
