I happen to OWN "sucky" actually
so if you happen to have one occasionally, then you owe me royalty for it
I had an awful evening last night
Wish we could turn off the love we feel for some😭

Waqt...



Haan Waqt...

TIME... Sometimes I wonder if it's just optics / physics
Like sitting in a moving train and feel the nearby objects, poles, trees moving past you in opposite directions.
The friend that I was mentioning who brought the coffee powder had this to say after visiting
Bangalore , Delhi and Mumbai. He coined a relatively new term relating to life in metros of India
The term is stinging ... Meant to sting in fact
"Richness of wealth and POVERTY OF TIME". Yep... Richness of wealth but poverty of time .

And poverty of time does not reciprocate LOVE.

Can't allow a time warp to be stronger than us, Can we?!




And when you say you write from the heart on the days when you are most hurt,
I feel that's a great quality to have , to channel that hurt in writing from the heart
I envy you .
My friend, no , I don't begrudge your writing or the skill/ ability to write from your heart , no,
I'm just saying I'm recording my envy if that makes you feel better of having a resource to channel hurt.
Some people on a few sucky days when they hurt don't even have that solace that you find in writing.

I am also recording my appreciation for the title BOLD AND BLUE.
Neel's text in bold and blue... BOLD AND BLUE NEVER FELT MORE BEAUTIFUL Nisha .

Flying fish😳

Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the text
She quickly buried the phone under her pillow
And looked at it again
Read her own text to him one time to make sure she was being polite
She had never interacted with her male superiors over text before
In fact she had to rack her brain to even come up with a text or two she exchanged while in Mumbai

She had added Neel to her contact only on Tuesday this week when she was caught on Nizamuddin bridge, and went to work late around 10 AM
She decided to jot down all cell phone numbers, Payal's Neel's and the HR rep's
Delhi office was not as laid back as Mumbai about coming in late
She cringed when people stood up in cubes to watch her walk over to her desk

"Metro hai" "Late aane ka koi tuk nahi banta" she overheard a guy say it aloud
As if Metro picked her up from home ever morning


She spent an hour thinking about Nihar, wondered how he coped, she wondered if there were any other kids?
Then realized if there were then he would have brought them along
Is there a mother or MIL to help she wondered
She rolled over and hugged Adhya, and slept around 1 AM


Weekend was spent going to pick out uniforms and then to the Centerstage Mall to buy her Disney Frozen back pack and water bottle and lunch box
She had invited Tai, but Tai had smirked and declined "I have REAL needs unlike you two, so I will just take cash"

So she gave Tai Rs.500, Tai counted the five bills 5 times, and then Suvi gave her Rs.500 again
Tai almost smiled at that.
They had eaten pao bhaji and kulfi at the Mall, and bought a bunch of school supplies beyond the school list

Suvi had bought herself a bunch of office supplies and they they had taken a taxi home

"Aaayi amhi car madhye ghari jaat aahet" Aadhya jumped and squealed and sat by the window on the lil Indica, with her cheek pressed on the glass
They had brought Tai some pao bhaji and kulfi, Tai had made a face and declined
But eaten it when Suvi went to take a nap

Sunday she had cleaned house and given herself and Suvi an oil bath

She arrived at work on time 9:20 ish on Monday
She bumped into him in the hallway by the elevator
There was a sudden flash of doscomfort from both of them
As if they cheated last nite
That one text exchange had somehow brought them closer?
Like she was not supposed to know he was awake at midnight
Like he should have been saving polite responses to direct reports' texts until sunrise

They met about Trademax much more comfortably


Towards the end of the Trademax conversation, she picked up al the story boards, and paused

"Ghar pasand aaya?" she asked

"After a while all beach houses look the same" he chuckled

She nodded, she had wanted to go to one, but never did

She pretended to be like the 20 somethings from biz school that got away just for the weekend to Sri Lanka or Andamans

"Did u mean the homes we looked at?" he asked

She smiled

Payal came in "Ur next visitor is here" she said looking at Suvi

Suvi scrambled

"I need 10 minutes" he said politely to Payal

Payal was pissed?

Suvi looked great today, in a orange cotton kurta and a cream chudidar her hair tied up high on her head, she had the CURLIEST hair he had ever seen
Drawn away from her face like that her neck looked like it was a mile long, her hair looked electric shiny the curls sparkling like they were moist.

She didnt wear bindi or make up, just kajal
Payal on the other hand looked like a L'Oreal or Sunsilk model
Infact she was indeed one of those at 7 feet tall... or something

"Ek pasand aaya hai" he smiled

"Nihar ko bhi?" she asked

He smiled, wondering why she felt Nihar's opinion was so important

"Summer mein usko rehna hai ghar par, bache nahi honge aas paas to" she smiled all knowingly

"I agree" he smiled
"Did u give her the apple?" he asked about Aadhya

TAI HAD EATEN it

"Ghar par relative hai" she said politely, to his ears her "relative" sounded like "relateew", he felt a strange stirring at that acent

"Koi aaya hai?" he asked, preoccupied, forgetting Gomez had mentioned about an aunt that hated her

"Nahi permanent" she said sadly walking out of his office, bumping into Payal at the door with a couple of guys alongside

She didnt see him later in the afternoon or evening
She went home to Tai...

She made up her mind to tell herself she was going home to Aadhya.

She didnt forget her today, she also bought fish
When she was making a coconut gravy for the fish her phone pinged

"Did u get uniforms?" Neel had texted

Suvi's spatula flew and landed on the floor... startled.
She looked up at the glowing screen on the counter and down at the orangy creamy gravy, a juicy chunk of fish
splattered on the floor all around the stainless steel ladle, unsure what to pick up first

Belted it out of the park.

And that line as if the metro was picking her straight out of her home...
Plasters me with a huge grin. You write beautifully. 👏 .

Aadhya cheek on the car glass..., how adorable. Cho chweeet.

Beautiful writing. 👏 .
Kal tho Suv tucked her phone under her pillow and read the text only twice .
Aaj tho Madam is going to look at her phone screen through the night. 😳


Her accent , the way relative comes out as Relateew or the compassion she feels for Nihar and her rolling over to hug Adhya as if to think if her daughter having a mothers presence atleast ...
All this makes Suv so endearing.

And I've decided to ignore the TOXIN in this update 😳

Wow. Flying fish - flying ladles, flying butterflies, beating hearts... U are taking it gentle easy. The guilt/uneasiness: restlessness of speaking to another man/ woman - wonderland depicted in those two lines :
